Coffee culture in Vietnam has a rich history, dating back to the French colonial period. Coffee was first introduced in Vietnam by the French in the 19th century, and over the past two centuries, coffeehouses, known as "cà phê", have become central to Vietnamese social life. During the Vietnam war, a milk scarcity prompted coffee-drinkers to begin sweetening their caffeinated beverages with condensed milk, which is how the popular Vietnamese coffee drink was invented.
Vietnamese coffee is renowned for its rich flavours, unique brewing method, and delightful combination of sweetened condensed milk with rich, dark coffee. Whether enjoyed hot or over ice, Vietnamese coffee offers a deliciously indulgent experience that has become popular with coffee drinkers around the world.
