Beyond popular chain coffee shops that typically remain open throughout Tet, such as Highlands Coffee, The Coffee House, Cong Cafe, and Aha Cafe, VnExpress introduces several smaller, charmingly decorated establishments that will serve customers every day during the holiday.

Ca phe Cuc Bac

This coffee shop evokes a miniature Lo Lo Chai village, adopting the Ha Giang style with traditional, distinctive cultural activities. The space offers a cozy, peaceful ambiance. Every corner of the shop provides opportunities for Tet-themed photos. In the evenings, the cafe hosts music programs featuring bamboo flutes and folk songs.

Address: FLC Garden City urban area, Dai Mo ward.

Unami Coffee

The shop is decorated with peach blossom themes from exterior to interior. For the new year, it introduces a new menu featuring two drinks: matcha tiramisu and coffee tiramisu. These are the two signature items for the beginning of the year, symbolizing a 'boost to spiritual strength' and a wish for a pleasant, easygoing year.

During Tet, the cafe offers a new menu with diverse drinks and food to ensure customers have variety.
