The Story
About This Place
The Xuân Thủy branch stands apart from most Cộng locations by sheer scale and a backyard pool ringed with tropical plants — a setup that draws weekend crowds looking for somewhere to decompress without leaving the neighborhood. The retro aesthetic the chain is known for holds here: faded propaganda posters, dark wood, and enamel-ware details that nod to a mid-century Vietnamese sensibility. Indoor and outdoor seating gives enough variety that it works on a grey afternoon as well as a sunny one, and the outdoor tables under leaf cover have a particularly relaxed quality in the late morning.
The coconut coffee remains the draw — a thick, ice-cold blend of Vietnamese drip and coconut cream that regulars describe as consistent across visits. Beyond that, the menu runs through iced and hot condensed milk coffees, a Vietnamese-style Americano called the Vina-Cano, and more unusual options like the Shan Ginger Ice Cream, which layers high-mountain black tea with ginger and salted cream. This branch is also notable for being among the first in the chain to serve a proper food menu rather than snacks alone, which makes longer stays more practical.
The crowd skews toward young professionals, expat residents from the surrounding area, and families who make use of the children's facilities on weekends. Service pace can be slow during peak hours, which reviewers note, though that tends to be absorbed easily given the setting. For anyone already in Thao Dien who wants a reliable coffee in a space that doesn't feel rushed, the Xuân Thủy location offers something most nearby independents don't: room to breathe.

I've visited different Cong Caphe branches before and this one just became one of my most favourite. I ordered a hot ginger tea. The drink was okay, but it could be better with more cream added on the top of it (like other Cong branches). The atmosphere was cozy, nostalgic, and magical at the same time. There's shelves filled with old books, makes it look like an old library with magical books (although they're political books 😂😂). Anyway, I'll visit here again soon.
First time try their coconut coffee but not meet my expectations cause I am a big coffee drinker , I need stronger taste but my friends love their cappuccino and their juice. The coffee shop decor very nice and great ambiance.
This one is also one of the big franchised brands in Vietnam and charactrized by Olive colored sign. I don't know every Cong café has similar interior concept or not, but this store has an old-fashioned or vintaged interior decoration that makes us quite comfortable to stay in. Even if we visited early in the morning after we finished breakfast in a hotel, there were many locals enjoying the beverages with their family, friends or lovers. Their iconic coconut coffee was very nice and normal black coffee (americano) was slightly above average.
Great atmosphere, love the old school style. I've been to the one in d1 also, I liked the vietnamese americano. But I had a bit trouble ordering it here, the staff English in d7 is not so good. I just got a regular americano, but no big deal.
