Exterior and Interior.


You can taste it in Korea too, but...
There's just a different vibe to enjoying it right here in Vietnam, wouldn't you say?
I visited with my parents.


I visited the branch closest to our accommodation,
and it's also conveniently close to Vincom Center, making it very accessible.






It was located on the second floor right next to Vincom Center.
The interior wasn't super spacious,
but there's a small outdoor terrace and even a cozy loft-like second-floor area.
Menu

Since we're at Cong Caphe, we *had* to order a coconut smoothie!
Sua Da Coffee.
Condensed milk lattes are also available,
and there's a wide variety of drinks beyond just coffee-based options.
Hot tip for visiting this place!
Card payments aren't possible, so make sure to bring cash!!

When you order drinks,
they'll give you a number tag like this.
Just sit back, and they'll bring your drinks right to your table.






Beyond the coconut smoothie, there's a wide range of drinks like chocolate smoothies and mango smoothies, so you can pick whatever your heart desires!
Now *that's* a Ho Chi Minh City cafe!
Coconut Smoothie

Since you're here, a coconut smoothie is an absolute must-try.
It's especially refreshing and tempting in this hot climate.


It's a delightful drink featuring a sweet coconut base with an added shot of coffee.

The ultimate sweetness and chilling coolness were absolutely perfect for beating the Ho Chi Minh City heat!

The view from the terrace is absolutely phenomenal.
Even with the heat, it was definitely worth sitting outside to relax and soak it all in.
Why settle for anything less when you can have a view like this, right?

Its proximity to the Opera House makes it a fantastic spot for sightseeing.
