Is Vietnam in your mind?

THE ULTIMATE VIETNAMESE CAFE FOR THE BEST COFFEE IN VIETNAM

First of all, let me tell you a story.

I stumbled upon Cong Caphe in Sapa in the north of Vietnam after traveling Vietnam for a month.

Starting my trip from the south with Ho Chi Minh City, Mui Ne, Nha Trang, then traveling north to Hoi An, Hanoi, Halong Bay, Mai Chau, my last stop in Vietnam was Sapa near the border with China.

Like I said earlier, I have literally stumbled upon Cong Caphe. It was love at first sight. Romantic, nostalgic and a little bit quirky. The love with a character.

At that time I didn’t know anything about Cong Caphe. Not even the name. The name came last.

On a random day, I just stumbled upon Cong Caphe while searching for a place to have my morning cup of coffee. Yes, I said ‘a random day’.  It was a random day. A gloomy day in cold Sapa in December.

And the love happened when it was least expected, as is always the case with the big loves.

My morning search for a cup of Vietnamese coffee entering an interior full of charm.

The atmosphere of the place mirrored rich Vietnamese history. Dark marble floor, rustic wooden tables, and chairs, cozy patterned cushions, old photos on the walls, staff’s retro green army outfits, vintage cups, and glasses evoked the old times.

Funky communist decor with some old good music playing in the background made a perfect setting for falling in love.

I was offered different types of Vietnamese coffee – traditional Vietnamese drip coffee, Vietnamese iced coffee, Vietnamese coconut coffee, Vietnamese yogurt coffee, Vietnamese egg coffee, etc.

All my senses were fulfilled.

I smiled. I was in love.

I was in love with coffee in Vietnam. As much as I was in love with foods in Vietnam.

Love happened on my last day in the country. I had already a one-way bus ticket to Laos in my pocket. Yes, Laos was already on my mind.

Later I searched for my love on the Internet. It is pretty much usual these days to look out for the subject of your interest online, isn’ it?

I found out the name: Cong Caphe.

Cong Caphe is a coffee chain in Vietnam offering one of the best coffee in Vietnam. Oh, yes, I know what are you thinking of brand chains. I don’t like them either.

But, this one is different. Every café of the chain is rather unique in its own way.

These days Cong Caphe can be found in Sapa, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Nha Trang…Therefore I am going to meet my love at one of those places when I am back in Vietnam.

I am going for my best Vietnam coffee, again.

To end, shouldn’t have I kept Cong Caphe as a secret? But shouldn’t you all see the beauty of my love? Shouldn’t you all taste the best Vietnam coffee?

I grew up in a post-communist European country too and I know that this cafe is so authentic and realistic. Very nice ambiance, everything looks so old and nice. Thank you for this blog. I didn't know that this kind of cafes exists. I can't wait to dring one cup of coffee here. Who was here, tell us everything? :D

I never would have guessed that Cong Caphe is a chain. It looks so unique, like it would be virtually impossible to replicate. Sometimes I also worry about sharing these little gems, but at the same time, that is what ensures they'll be around for us to enjoy for even longer.

I have rarely witnessed a place like a coffee shop that has the reflection of the great history of the past. And this seemed to be really a perfect place. You get to know more about the history of Vietnam and get to relax with the aroma of the coffee. I haven't been to Vietnam and will surely check this shop. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
