Vietnam Runs on Coffee

Coffee is a favorite among Vietnamese people.

Coffee shops come in various sizes from the Vietnamese equivalent of Starbucks to the coffee vendor on the street with plastic stools.

Many countries around the world enjoy Vietnamese coffee. Today Vietnam is the world’s second largest exporter, and the coffee industry employs over 2 million people.

Traditional Vietnamese coffee is a unique way to enjoy your daily pick-me-up. Called “Ca phe sua da,” a typical glass of regular Vietnamese coffee contains dark roast coffee (like French roast) and sweetened condensed milk.
