Vietnamese coffee chain Cong Ca Phe is set to open its first Philippine outlet in February at Gateway 2 Mall in Quezon City.

Known for its signature 1970s-inspired interiors and unique coffee offerings, the brand aims to bring an “authentic Vietnamese coffee experience” to Filipino customers. It makes its coffee using Vietnamese Robusta beans.

Founded in Hanoi in 2007 by former performance artist Linh Dung, Cong Ca Phe currently operates 66 stores across Vietnam, with 45 located in major cities such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. 

The cafe is known for its creative take on traditional Vietnamese coffee, including specialties like coconut coffee, coconut green rice coffee, and coconut pho coffee.

Cong Ca Phe made its international debut in Seoul, South Korea, in 2018 and has since expanded to Malaysia, Canada, Taiwan, and the Philippines. 

The coffee chain currently has 29 stores – 23 in South Korea.

“They can expect that we will maintain the quality of the ambiance as well as the drinks served in Vietnam,” Cong Ca Phe told PhilStar Life.
