Cong Caphe is a rapidly expanding café chain in Hanoi with several locations each boasting war memorabilia, wooden floors and a minimalistic design. The entire design of the café, and even the server’s uniforms, are based around the Vietcong, a political organization with its own army during the 60’s and onward. It’s a unique and interesting setting to sip on a freshly brewed cup of coffee or refreshing tea.

Don’t miss the chance to try their coconut coffee, which is a cup of Arabica coffee topped with blended coconut shavings. It tastes like an ice cream and can be eaten with a spoon. Other delicious items on their menu include the mung bean coffee and various fruit smoothies. There’s also a souvenir shop in their cafes selling pottery, toys, and furniture.
