There's a chaotic air about this place... People come here for the coconut coffee. Personally, I found the iced coconut coffee a bit blah. I didn't mind it, but if you're a true coffee lover, the coffee flavours are rather muted, and buried within the sweetened coconut milk. It's like a rich Frappe and yet not overly sweet and creamy ala Starbucks, so it is more palatable and seemingly less sinful. 😂
I love the fact they do not chase you away and leave you to finish your drink in peace, or even after you finish your cuppa.
Hence, I even ordered a 2nd drink - their 2nd best seller (according to the grunt staff)... Pandan coconut rice. It was "interesting" with glutinious rice bits in the drink which made it very filling... Again, not quite my cuppa. This can probably be a meal replacement, if you're hungry!
What was amazing is that we sat here for a few hours as we had to settle some business issues, and it was all sorted out over the noisy, chaotic bustle of this quirky coffee house (we used the WiFi for an international video conference! 😵).
So, yah.. I will have some "fond" memories of Cong Ca Phe, despite not really falling in love with...
Read moreI 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...

Housed in the first floor of an old apartment building, this café was decorated with alike quaint items blended with a modern style. I was also impressed by how they used cement walls and old-time-styled chairs and tables, which added a nostalgic yet contemporary feeling.
This location offers a view of the Bitexco tower - once the tallest building in Vietnam.
Visiting at around 1 P.M, I didn't enjoy how crowded it was, especially when taking account of its rather limited space. The tables were tightly packed, making moving around quite uncomfortable.
I ordered their signature Cốt dừa cà phê (Coffee with coconut milk) for 65.000 VND. It was served promptly, and was a perfect fusion of Vietnamese coffee and rich, creamy coconut milk.
The service...
