A sweet drink with the Vietnamese scenery was a great healing during my trip. If you come to Hanoi, I hope you stop by and have a delicious drink.

#Get a discount without relying on luck ### Review Cong Caphe Hanoi: A Vietnamese military-style cafe with a retro atmosphere #### **Concept and atmosphere** Cong Caphe is a famous local coffee shop in Hanoi with branches all over the city. It stands out with the theme of "Vietnamese soldiers" (Viet Cong) that reflects its historical identity through retro interior decorations, such as military green walls, old military hats, red star posters, and simple wooden furniture. Some branches have low chairs and small wooden tables, giving the feeling of sitting and sipping coffee in a military camp during the war. The overall atmosphere is chill and unique, suitable for those who love taking pictures or want to experience traditional Vietnamese culture. #### **Recommended menu** 1. **Coconut Coffee**: A signature menu that mixes strong coffee with fragrant coconut cream. Some branches serve it blended with ice, giving it a sweet and mellow taste. Even if you order less sweet, you can still feel the outstanding sweetness. 2. **Egg Coffee**: Another famous Vietnamese menu uses egg yolks beaten with condensed milk until it becomes thick and fluffy, poured over strong coffee. Creamy and bitter-sweet taste 3. **Hot lemon tea**: For those who like classic drinks, but may not stand out compared to local-style coffee #### **Don't miss** - **Decoration**: Each branch has different details. Some are located near Hoan Kiem Lake, giving a panoramic view of Hanoi. - **Affordable drinks** - **Phin coffee making experience**: A traditional Vietnamese coffee machine that slowly drips hot water through coffee powder, resulting in a rich taste. #### **Things to know before you go** - **Sweetness**: Most Vietnamese coffee uses**condensed milk** as a base. If you don't like it too sweet, we recommend ordering "less sweet" or "without condensed milk". - **Popular branches**: - Branches near **Old Quarter** and **Hoan Kiem Lake**: Lively and beautiful view - **Dinh Tien Hoang Street** branch: Opposite Highlands Coffee, suitable for sitting and enjoying the lake view - **Opening hours**: Open from 07:00-23:30 #### **Summary** Cong Caphe is not just a coffee shop, but a complete **Vietnamese cultural experience** with unique decorations, unique drink menus, and a retro atmosphere. Although some menus may not be to Thai tastes, visiting here is a good opportunity to understand the Hanoian way of life through affordable coffee cups. Anyone who plans to visit Hanoi should add Cong Caphe to their "must-check-in" list, especially the branch near Hoan Kiem Lake. Sitting and sipping coconut coffee while enjoying the view of the old town will make this trip even more meaningful.

Spicy coconut coffee ☕️🥥

1️⃣ I had Pho every day! Pho is the eternal god! Street stalls, takeaways, and popular shops are generally reliable, and I personally love beef pho the most! (Image 6) 2️⃣ I drank coffee every day! Legend coffee, cong coffee, egg coffee, laika coffee, and maison coffee are all pretty good. (Cong is very good, I have another note about it) *Let me talk about maison coffee in particular, it's a chocolate brand founded by French people in Vietnam, their chocolate coffee and egg chocolate coffee as well as chocolate ice cream are amazing! (Image 7) 3️⃣ The train station coffee street is okay for taking photos, but the train has a fixed schedule, so it's better to arrive early and find a cafe on the first or second floor for a better shooting angle. (I just timed my visit there, the road was temporarily closed during the train's passage, and I could only wait for the train to pass before entering to take photos ) (Images 2-3) 4️⃣ St. Joseph's Cathedral looks great both during the day and at night (Images 4-5), and can serve as the starting and ending point for a Hanoi city walk, plus there are various cafes mentioned in point 2 around it for resting. 5️⃣ The popular coffee building is good for taking photos (Image 10), but there's no need to go inside. There's a nearby open-top sightseeing bus stop, 150,000 Vietnamese dong for a round trip without repeating the same route seems okay. 6️⃣ For souvenirs, I went to Lotte, which should be the busiest shopping district in Hanoi, with a variety of Vietnamese and Korean specialties in the department store on the basement floor. (Buying souvenirs from two countries at once? ) (Image 11) 7️⃣ For the hotel, I originally chose one near Hoan Kiem Lake, but after much hesitation, I chose a place 20 minutes away by car. After all, Hoan Kiem Lake is the most popular local attraction, and in my opinion, the things in tourist areas tend to have a worse cost-performance ratio and facilities. 8️⃣ The last point, the network signal is so bad...
