A homegrown comfort chain raised by Gen Z<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The founding story<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Coffee House is a Vietnamese caf\u00e9 chain born in Ho Chi Minh City in 2014. Founder Nguyen Hai Ninh had earlier experience launching a takeout coffee shop, and built on those lessons to set \u201cCoffee House (the comfort of being at home)\u201d as its concept. By keeping prices in the mid-range of a few hundred yen a cup, it won broad support as a shop young people can visit daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Within a few years of founding, it expanded to major cities nationwide, growing to over 150 outlets at its peak. It then pursued a consolidation emphasizing profitability and location, and now has narrowed to around 93 outlets. It's a brand that steered toward being chosen for quality and comfort rather than chasing outlet count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why young people support it for the long haul<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Coffee House's strength lies in designing not just a cup of coffee but \u201cthe time you spend.\u201d Seats with power and Wi-Fi, well-running air conditioning. There's an air where a university student or nomad worker can settle in for half a day without feeling awkward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The menu, too, isn't coffee-only but spans widely\u2014tea, smoothies, sweets. Because people who can't drink coffee or want something sweet can all come in together, it's easy to use in a group. For tourists, it's also a place to experience \u201ctoday's Vietnamese caf\u00e9 culture\u201d as is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Coffee House's signature menu and flavors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The signatures are the teas, but Vietnamese-style coffee and sweets are there too. Prices are mostly in the few-hundred-yen range, easy to share even when ordering with several people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Peach, Orange, and Lemongrass Tea (Tr\u00e0 \u0110\u00e0o Cam S\u1ea3)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A cup that could be called The Coffee House's emblem. The sweetness of peach, the refreshing tartness of orange, and the cooling note of lemongrass layer together, coming together with just the right freshness for a hot Vietnam city walk. Usually served cold over ice, it's easy to drink even for those not keen on coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ca Phe Sua Da (C\u00e0 Ph\u00ea S\u1eefa \u0110\u00e1)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Vietnamese staple\u2014iced coffee with condensed milk. The sweetness of condensed milk melds with strong dark-roasted coffee, an easy way to try a Vietnamese flavor. Alongside the teas, it's a can't-miss staple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other popular drinks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><thead><tr><th>Drink<\/th><th>Characteristics<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Caf\u00e9 latte<\/td><td>An espresso-based drink with plenty of milk, easy to drink<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Smoothie<\/td><td>A cold cup using fruit.

Cold drinks dominate, so you can also choose a hot item to match how you feel and your preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hours and how busy it gets differ by outlet.
