Cộng Cà phê on Postcard

"In 2007, Vietnamese artist Linh Dung opened the first Cộng Cà Phê in the heart of Hanoi’s downtown quarter. It was frequented by members of the local art community, who stopped by for the heavenly signature Cốt Dừa Cà Phê, iced coconut milk with dark, strong Vietnamese coffee. According to the website, “Cộng” refers to Vietnam’s official name, Cộng Hòa Xã hội Chủ Nghĩa Việt Nam (the Socialist Republic of Vietnam), though the cafe interior also includes lots of design references to the Viet Cong. The city’s young residents — who tend to think of the war differently than older generations and the international community — have embraced the vintage decor and military-esque furniture as period kitsch, and the cafe has become immensely popular in HCMC with many locations." - Linh Phan

Cong Cafe is famous for its coconut coffee and it really is a must-try. This location is great because it’s in a little hidden shopping complex with lots of cute local clothing brands & thrift stores.

Oh my oh my oh my!!! I FOUND A GEM! What an incredible experience! Their unique blended coffee and tea drinks, especially the ones with peanut butter, strawberry, or coconut milk, are simply delicious—though quite rich! I also enjoyed their simple snacks, like the noodles with egg and dried beef and the croissant with condensed milk; both were satisfying and flavorful. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot to relax. Plus, everything is incredibly affordable! If you're in the area and looking for a delightful café experience, I highly recommend Cong Ca Phe. You won't be disappointed!

I was very impressed with the atmosphere. The cafe is small and cozy, with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The decor is rustic and charming, with exposed brick walls, wooden tables, and vintage lamps. The place is always crowded, but it's easy to find a seat because people tend to turn over tables quickly. The coffee is excellent! I tried the signature coconut coffee, and it was delicious. The coffee is strong and smooth, with a subtle sweetness from the coconut milk. The cafe also offers a variety of other drinks, including smoothies, tea, and hot chocolate. The staff is friendly and attentive. They are always happy to help you with your order and make sure you have everything you need. Overall, I had a great experience at Cộng Cà phê. It's a great place to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee with friends or family. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a cozy and charming cafe in Ho Chi Minh City.

I like sitting on the second floor by the window. Have a nice view of the river and the road, enjoy watching the cars and motorcycles as well as people crossing the road. Recommend the Hot Roasted Ginger tea with Salted Cream if you already had too much coffee.

Cong Ca phe evokes a sense of nostalgia with its rustic decor and cozy ambiance. The worn wooden furniture, dim lighting, and eclectic mix of decorations create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Sipping on a local coffee with its rich flavors and distinct layers adds to the charm, making the experience both comforting and reminiscent of simpler times. The combination of the environment and the coffee enhances the feeling of being transported to a different era, where the moments are memorable. Recommend anyone to come here for a visit and enjoy the local coffee.

Love this place snuck in the building that you may take the elevator up (need to pay VND3k), or just walk the stairs. Their coconut coffee is to die for. Consistent to all branches, I must say. Just note that. This branch doesn’t accept card payment, only cash.

One local student recommended me to this place. She told me this is Vietnamese traditional cafe. And suggested me to try coconut coffee. That’s very true.quite nice place with best view. It’s in front of pink church

Tried their signature coconut coffee, and it was amazing! Even though I'm not typically a coffee person, this was really good. The coffee was fragrant, and Vietnamese coffee is indeed exceptional. Definitely a coffee chain you must visit when you're in Vietnam.

Very cool cafe. I tried their orange juice and a croissant with sweetened condensed milk for ₫95,000 and they both tasted really well. The cafe has a retro style, with the staff wearing uniforms that remind of combat attire. It has two floors with air conditioning and fans (air conditioning is not that strong though). The entrance can be tricky to find. Take the entrance to the building on the right of Katinat cafe, walk through the painting shop, go upstairs and you’ll find the entrance to the cafe. English menu available, and staff can speak English as well.
