Cà phê cộng hà nội

There’s no shortage of immaculately designed cafes in Hanoi (and across Vietnam, for that matter), but Cộng coffe takes the cake.

One of the very best cafes in Hanoi (in my humble opinion), Cộng‘s ‘Communist Chic’ thiết kế recalls the days of youth brigades, state ownership và Russian-language schoolbooks.

When the cà phê first opened, the owners apparently got in some hot water for printing their menus over Lenin texts. Seen through a Westerner’s eyes, Cộng‘s style is quite provocative và a bit of a trip.

But it’s not such a surprise that many Hanoians look back on this period of history with a certain amount of nostalgia – the North did win the war, after all.

Visiting Cong Caphe

There are now at least seven branches of cộng spread across Hanoi.

Most start serving coffee at around 7.30am & stay mở cửa until late. Cộng is reasonably priced; a cà phê đá black (black iced coffee) will set you back 30,000 VND (little more than a dollar).

That’s still three-times what you’ll pay on the street, but hey, good thiết kế doesn’t come cheap.

Where khổng lồ stay in Hanoi

If it’s your first visit lớn Hanoi, I highly recommend staying somewhere central. The Old Quarter and French Quarter are both great for sightseeing and street food. For something quieter & with local vibes, try Truc Bach or Ngoc Ha.
