Quotes

"I'm trying two things I've never tried before today. Salt coffee and local donuts."
"The vibe with the salt coffee is that you mix it all up. It's condensed milk down the bottom, Vietnamese coffee in the middle, and a salt sweet cream on top."
"That's delicious. That goes down real easy. I really like that."
"My only complaint with Vietnamese coffee is it's so strong that I get the jitters. This is my second one today. Admittedly, I probably shouldn't have ordered a large from Kong."

Our Reflection

Cộng Cà Phê offers more than just a caffeine fix—it’s an immersion into Hanoi’s evolving café culture. The salt coffee, with its interplay of sweet, strong, and savory, leaves a memorable impression. The reviewer’s candid admission about the coffee’s potency adds authenticity, while the café’s energetic vibe and inventive drinks make it a must-visit for those eager to taste both tradition and innovation in a cup.

"The reviewer’s food tour began at Bánh Mì Mama, right next to St. Joseph’s Cathedral, where she tried the famous flattened banh mi. She opted for the vegetarian version and initially praised the bread and taste. However, the experience took a negative turn when she discovered a hair in her sandwich, leading to a candid and honest reaction. Despite the mishap, the visit was memorable and captured authentically on the vlog."
