Vietnam is the world\u2019s second-largest coffee producer in ICO statistics, and countless local caf\u00e9s where you can drink cheaply line the streets. In such a Vietnam, Starbucks was positioned as an \u201cupscale caf\u00e9\u201d where a single cup cost 75,000 VND (about 450 yen) or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I first started living in Hanoi, Vietnam, four years ago, it was quiet\u2014perhaps because of the high prices\u2014and my impression is that the clientele was mostly travelers and foreigners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent years, perhaps reflecting rising salary levels in urban areas, it shows a liveliness where remote workers and students fill the seats from the morning.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

At stores with few seats, you sometimes can\u2019t get in because they\u2019re full.<\/p>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

Starbucks is a reliable rest stop during a Vietnam trip<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some stores are as crowded as in Japan, but for Japanese travelers it\u2019s an easy place to use as a rest stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Starbucks works for Japanese travelers<\/span><\/div>
\n
    \n
  • Reliable Wi-Fi<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Relatively clean restrooms<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • English-speaking staff<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Air-conditioned space<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Vietnam-exclusive menu items you can't get in Japan<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Some locations let you soak up Vietnam's distinctive atmosphere<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Because it's a coffee brand you already know, you can use it with confidence, and the chance to enjoy drinks and goods made only for Vietnam adds to the appeal.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It isn't clear whether they're Vietnam-exclusive, but the food menu includes noodle dishes such as pasta and yakisoba that you won't find in Japan. If you dine in, they'll warm it up, so you can enjoy a piping-hot noodle dish alongside your drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Availability varies by store and season, so if you spot one, give it a try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Seasonal menu items<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Limited menu items sometimes appear to match Vietnam's traditional holidays, such as Tet (Lunar New Year) and the Mid-Autumn Festival. To see what's on offer during your visit, check the in-store signage or the official social media of Starbucks Vietnam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Vietnam-exclusive Starbucks goods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The most popular souvenirs at Starbucks in Vietnam are the tumblers and mugs with Vietnam-exclusive designs. They're ideal for collectors, of course, and also as keepsakes from a trip to Vietnam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Tumblers that render Vietnam's sights in paper art are especially popular. Iconic landmarks like Saigon Notre-Dame Cathedral, Hoan Kiem Lake with its red bridge, water puppet theater, and Ben Thanh Market are recreated in delicate cut paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There are two types: regular-size mugs and demitasse cups. The beautiful designs, with motifs drawn from Vietnam's scenery and culture, are a pleasure just to display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The compact demitasse cup is just the right size for drinking rich Vietnamese coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The adorable bear dressed in Vietnamese traditional costume is a popular item among collectors. It's perfect as a souvenir for a child or a gift for someone who collects Starbucks goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Seasonal goods<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Limited-edition goods appear each season \u2014 auspicious designs in red and gold during the Tet (Lunar New Year) season, ocean-themed designs in summer, and more. It's a lineup collectors won't want to miss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    These goods tend to be better stocked at stores in the city than at airport duty-free shops.<\/p>\n\n\n
