North Vietnam Coffee Vincom 3/2

Experience Review at Bac Viet Coffee Vincom 3/2: Traditional Coffee Space in the Heart of Saigon

Introduction

I recently had the chance to try Bac Viet Coffee at Vincom 3/2, District 10. In fact, I am someone who enjoys exploring traditional-style coffee shops, where not only is the coffee good, but there’s also a sense of nostalgia and a calm atmosphere to relax. Therefore, when friends introduced Bac Viet Coffee as a chain of Vietnamese coffee shops with authentic traditional flavors, I immediately decided to give it a try. And here is my experience after an afternoon there.

General Introduction

Bac Viet Coffee is located right inside the Vincom 3/2 shopping center, with the specific address being 3C 3rd of February Street, Ward 10, District 10, Ho Chi Minh City. The shop has a fairly spacious area, situated in an easily accessible location, convenient for those who want to stop by after strolling or shopping.

The shop’s style has a classic touch mixed with a bit of modernity, simply decorated with wooden furnishings and deep brown tones, very suitable for those who enjoy a gentle and not overly noisy atmosphere. I find the shop suitable for everyone: from young people looking for a quiet place to study or work, to groups of friends or families wanting to chat and enjoy traditional coffee.

Detailed Experience

• **Space and Rooms**: The shop has many classic wooden tables and chairs, creating a cozy and close-knit feeling. I chose a corner near the window to enjoy natural light while watching the flow of people outside. The shop’s space is quite airy, not cramped or confined as I imagined when being in a shopping center. The background music is soft, not too loud, and pleasant.
• **Food and Drinks**: I ordered a traditional drip coffee and a portion of the shop’s signature pate sandwich. The coffee has a rich flavor, fragrant with the scent of pure roasted coffee, just the way I like Vietnamese coffee. The drip method retains a light bitterness, a sweet aftertaste, and is not harsh. The pate sandwich was decent, with just the right amount of fatty pate, crispy bread, and served with some fresh vegetables and cucumber. Additionally, the shop offers many other drinks such as iced milk coffee, fruit juices, and lotus tea… I found the menu quite diverse.
• **Service and Staff Attitude**: The staff here are very friendly, quick, and attentive. I was served diligently from the moment I sat down until the time I paid. There was one time I forgot my phone on the table, and the staff quickly kept it and called me to retrieve it, which made me feel very secure while staying longer in the shop. I appreciate the service attitude of the shop.
• **A Few Small Experiences**: I sat by the window, enjoying coffee while quietly observing the flow of people passing by, feeling very relaxed. At that time, it was drizzling in Saigon, making the atmosphere inside the shop even cozier. There was a group of young friends sitting next to me chatting quite happily, not too loud but adding to the lively atmosphere. I felt a gentle connection between people in a shared space, which was very interesting.

Advantages & Limitations

**Advantages:**

• Spacious and airy space, simple yet cozy decor.
• Coffee and food with strong Vietnamese flavors, authentic traditional taste, especially the drip coffee is very good.
• Friendly staff, quick service, creating a comfortable feeling.
• Convenient location right in Vincom 3/2, easy to find, suitable for a stop after shopping.

**Limitations:**

• Being located in a shopping center, prices are somewhat higher compared to traditional sidewalk coffee shops.
• Although the space is wide, it can get a bit crowded during peak hours, lacking the necessary privacy for those who want absolute quiet.
• The menu does not have many special options for those who do not drink coffee (I noticed only a few types of juices and teas).

Conclusion

In summary, Bac Viet Coffee Vincom 3/2 is a very worthwhile choice to experience if you want to find a traditional Vietnamese coffee shop in a space that is both modern and nostalgic. The shop is suitable for those who love drip coffee, want to relax gently after stressful working hours, or simply want a quiet, cozy place in the heart of Saigon.
