Starbucks Vietnam has built a presence in this country crowded with local caf\u00e9s, armed with stable quality and unique brand power. In addition to the world-shared standards, Asia-exclusive menu items arranging Vietnamese coffee and local goods for each city are a pleasure for travelers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><th>Genre<\/th><td>Coffee<\/td><\/tr><tr><th>Founded<\/th><td>2013 (Ho Chi Minh City)<\/td><\/tr><tr><th>Origin<\/th><td>Seattle, USA<\/td><\/tr><tr><th>Coverage area<\/th><td><a href=\"https:\/\/vietnam-gift.com\/en\/area_post\/hcm\/\">Ho Chi Minh City<\/a>\u30fb<a href=\"https:\/\/vietnam-gift.com\/en\/area_post\/hanoi\/\">Hanoi<\/a>\u30fb<a href=\"https:\/\/vietnam-gift.com\/en\/area_post\/danang\/\">Da Nang<\/a>\u30fb<a href=\"https:\/\/vietnam-gift.com\/en\/area_post\/haiphong\/\">Hai Phong<\/a>\u30fb<a href=\"https:\/\/vietnam-gift.com\/en\/area_post\/dalat\/\">Da Lat<\/a>\u30fb<a href=\"https:\/\/vietnam-gift.com\/en\/area_post\/hoian\/\">Hoi An<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><th>Number of locations<\/th><td>150 outlets<\/td><\/tr><tr><th>Signature menu<\/th><td>The Vietnam-exclusive Asian Dolce Latte is the standard<\/td><\/tr><tr><th>Official site<\/th><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.starbucks.vn\/\">https:\/\/www.starbucks.vn\/<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Starbucks Vietnam? A global brand taking on a coffee powerhouse<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The founding story<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Starbucks opened its first Vietnam store on January 31, 2013, in a prime location facing the Nha Sau\u2013Phu Dong intersection in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City. The two-story, roughly 4,000-square-foot flagship was decorated throughout with elements drawn from Vietnamese culture\u2014a teak community table repurposed from a local mansion, and a \u201cba gac (three-wheeled cycle)\u201d once used for hauling goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this country where traditional Vietnamese-style coffee dominates and countless local caf\u00e9s are rooted, the challenge isn't easy. Even so, Starbucks has expanded its store network to about 150 outlets now, with high-quality service and a uniform experience as its strengths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why it's easy for travelers to use<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For travelers unfamiliar with Vietnam, Starbucks is a presence you can enter with peace of mind. With stable Wi-Fi and a relatively clean interior, it's easy to use as a base for a break or work. Because the menu system is world-shared, it's also welcome that you're unlikely to get lost ordering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, Vietnam-exclusive menu items and local goods are also plentiful, so it's \u201cthe usual Starbucks\u201d yet brings travel-spot discoveries. It's easy to work in as a waypoint when you're tired of exploring local caf\u00e9s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Starbucks Vietnam's signature menu and flavors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A big feature is that, in addition to world-shared standard drinks, Asia- and Vietnam-exclusive menu items uniquely arranging Vietnamese coffee are available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Asian Dolce Latte<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A cup that debuted at the opening of the first Vietnam store, inspired by local coffee culture. To the standard latte, it adds a sweet, rich Asian taste reminiscent of Vietnamese-style coffee. It's designed to reach both local palates accustomed to the sweetness of condensed milk and travelers familiar with the world-shared latte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Coconut Dolce Espresso<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A limited-type menu item incorporating the feel of coconut coffee, a Vietnamese staple. It combines coconut flavor with espresso, finished as a sweet, refreshing taste suited to hot Vietnam's climate. A cup hard to encounter at Starbucks in Japan.<\/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>Dolce Espresso<\/td><td>A sweet, rich Asia-oriented espresso drink.

With outlets in prime locations in commercial facilities, office districts, and tourist areas, many are easy to drop into along travel routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its popularity means that depending on the outlet and time, it can be too crowded to sit. Positioned as an upscale caf\u00e9 within Vietnam, it offers a corresponding stability of service and space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Main cities where you can enjoy this store:<a href=\"https:\/\/vietnam-gift.com\/en\/area_post\/hcm\/\">Ho Chi Minh City<\/a>\u30fb<a href=\"https:\/\/vietnam-gift.com\/en\/area_post\/hanoi\/\">Hanoi<\/a>\u30fb<a href=\"https:\/\/vietnam-gift.com\/en\/area_post\/danang\/\">Da Nang<\/a>\u30fb<a href=\"https:\/\/vietnam-gift.com\/en\/area_post\/haiphong\/\">Hai Phong<\/a>\u30fb<a href=\"https:\/\/vietnam-gift.com\/en\/area_post\/dalat\/\">Da Lat<\/a>\u30fb<a href=\"https:\/\/vietnam-gift.com\/en\/area_post\/hoian\/\">Hoi An<\/a>. You can check each city's tourist information from its city page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stores easy to visit while sightseeing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are also shops with interiors mindful of Vietnamese character, such as the outlet around B\u01b0u \u0111i\u1ec7n H\u00e0 N\u1ed9i (Hanoi Central Post Office) across from Hanoi's Hoan Kiem Lake, and the Hoi An outlet. Reserve-type shops where you can enjoy coffee and cocktails have also appeared, offering an experience different from the standard Starbucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The atmosphere at Starbucks Vietnam and how to spend your time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Features of the interior and design<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At flagships including the first store, decorations incorporating local materials and culture are a highlight. Repurposed teak tables and three-wheeled cycles\u2014elements unique to the place blend into the world-shared design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some outlets have interiors that foreground Vietnamese character, letting you taste both \u201cStarbucks-ness\u201d and \u201cVietnamese-ness\u201d at once. Many visit them as photo spots too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wi-Fi, power outlets, and how easy it is to linger<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With stable Wi-Fi and a clean environment, it's easy to use as a base for a break or work. But popular outlets get busy, so to spend time at leisure, choose an early-morning hour or an outlet slightly off the busy area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Starbucks Vietnam's price guide and payment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><thead><tr><th>Menu<\/th><th>Price guide<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Dolce Espresso<\/td><td>50,000\u201374,000 dong (about 300\u2013450 yen)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Latte<\/td><td>75,000\u201399,000 dong (about 450\u2013600 yen)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Cold Brew Coffee<\/td><td>65,000\u201389,000 dong (about 390\u2013530 yen)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whereas a local caf\u00e9's latte runs 50,000\u201360,000 dong (about 300\u2013360 yen), Starbucks is set a bit higher. Some outlets can't take cash, but they do accept credit cards, so it's reassuring to bring one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prices can change by store and season. Check the latest at the counter or on the official menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Starbucks Vietnam takeout and souvenirs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Local tumblers and mugs bearing the names and illustrations of major cities like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City are sold at each outlet. There are also limited goods like Bearista (a bear-shaped plush), popular with collectors and souvenir hunters. Items with Vietnamese designs are just right as a keepsake of visiting that city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Starbucks Vietnam: map, access, and ordering tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are flagships in central areas like Nguyen Hue Street in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, easy to drop into along sightseeing routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;border-radius:8px;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps?q=Starbucks%20Vietnam%20%E3%83%9B%E3%83%BC%E3%83%81%E3%83%9F%E3%83%B3&#038;output=embed\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;\" loading=\"lazy\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vietnamese phrases for ordering<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are the basic phrases that come in handy locally.

You can experience arrangements you can't taste in Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dropping in for stable Wi-Fi and a seat between local-caf\u00e9 tours is the smart way to use it. The local tumblers are worth getting as a travel keepsake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Points to note<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Positioned as an upscale caf\u00e9 within Vietnam, prices are higher than local caf\u00e9s. If you prioritize cost, use it alongside standard local chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the outlet and time, it can be full with no seats.
