Cong Caphe in SM Mall of Asia

Transport yourself to the nostalgic streets of old Hanoi at Cong Caphe, located on Level 3 of the Entertainment Zone at SM Mall of Asia. This military-chic café stands out with its signature "subsidy period" aesthetic—featuring rustic wooden furniture, military-green accents, and vintage Vietnamese décor. It offers a unique, atmospheric retreat where mall-goers can slow down and enjoy a piece of Vietnam’s rich coffee culture while overlooking the vibrant Entertainment Zone.

What makes Cong Caphe a must-visit is its authentic approach to Vietnamese brewing, specifically using robusta beans to create bold, chocolatey flavors. Unlike typical modern coffee shops, this Level 3 gem is famous for its "Coconut Coffee Slushie" concept, which perfectly balances the bitterness of traditional coffee with creamy, frozen coconut milk. The café’s commitment to its 1970s-inspired roots provides a cozy, soulful environment that is as much about the storytelling as it is about the caffeine.

The menu is headlined by their iconic Coconut Coffee and the unique Coconut Green Rice Smoothie, a sweet nod to Hanoi’s traditional street treats. For a more savory pairing, their Beef Satay Banh Mi or Lemongrass Chicken Banh Mi offer the perfect crunch of an authentic Vietnamese baguette. Whether you are sipping on a strong Brown Coffee (Ca Phe Sua) or trying their refreshing Hanoi Dracontomelon with Soda, every visit to this SM Mall of Asia favorite feels like a quick trip to Vietnam.
