  • Bac Xiu à Paris : qu’est-ce que c’est, quel est son goût et où le déguster ?

    Bac Xiu à Paris : qu’est-ce que c’est, quel est son goût et où le déguster ?

    Le Bac Xiu est l’une des boissons les plus douces pour découvrir le café vietnamien. Si le café noir vietnamien vous paraît trop intense et que le café au lait concentré reste encore trop corsé, le Bac Xiu offre une alternative plus légère : une boisson douce, crémeuse, légèrement sucrée et moins riche en café.

    Souvent comparé à un latte vietnamien, le Bac Xiu possède pourtant sa propre identité. Alors qu’un latte est préparé à base d’espresso et de lait frais, le Bac Xiu s’inscrit dans la tradition du café vietnamien, où le lait concentré sucré, le café intense et l’équilibre des proportions occupent une place essentielle.

    Dans cet article, nous vous invitons à découvrir l’histoire du Bac Xiu, ses ingrédients, ce qui le distingue des autres cafés vietnamiens, ainsi que la meilleure façon de le déguster.

    Qu’est-ce que le Bac Xiu ?

    Le Bac Xiu, ou bạc xỉu en vietnamien, est une boisson préparée avec davantage de lait que de café. Plus doux et plus crémeux que le traditionnel cà phê sữa đá (café vietnamien glacé au lait concentré), il offre une saveur plus légère, idéale pour celles et ceux qui préfèrent un café moins intense.

    Traditionnellement préparé avec du lait concentré sucré, du lait et une petite quantité de café, le Bac Xiu se déguste généralement chaud ou avec des glaçons. Sa couleur claire et sa texture onctueuse viennent de la généreuse quantité de lait utilisée dans sa préparation.

    Très populaire au Vietnam, cette boisson est particulièrement appréciée au petit-déjeuner ou lors d’une pause café. Elle permet de découvrir les saveurs du café vietnamien tout en douceur, sans l’intensité d’un café noir ou d’un cà phê sữa đá.

    Les origines vietnamiennes du Bac Xiu

    Le Bac Xiu est étroitement lié à la culture du café du sud du Vietnam, en particulier à celle de Chợ Lớn, le quartier chinois de Hô Chi Minh-Ville. Son nom est d’ailleurs issu d’une expression d’origine cantonaise, témoignant de l’influence de la communauté chinoise sur cette spécialité.

    Le Bac Xiu est né d’une volonté de proposer un café plus doux, plus riche en lait et plus accessible aux personnes qui appréciaient des saveurs moins intenses.

    Cette boisson illustre parfaitement la diversité du café vietnamien. Loin de se résumer à des cafés très corsés, celui-ci se décline selon les goûts et les envies, en jouant sur les proportions de café, de lait, de glace ou de sucre. Le Bac Xiu représente ainsi la version la plus douce et la plus crémeuse de cette tradition.

    Questions fréquentes sur le Bac Xiu

    De quoi est composé le Bac Xiu ?

    Le Bac Xiu est généralement préparé avec du café, une grande quantité de lait et du lait concentré sucré, qui lui apporte sa douceur et son onctuosité.

    Le Bac Xiu est-il identique au café vietnamien glacé ?

    Non. Le café vietnamien glacé (cà phê sữa đá) est plus corsé et le goût du café y est plus prononcé. Le Bac Xiu, quant à lui, contient davantage de lait, ce qui lui donne une saveur plus douce et plus légère.

    Le Bac Xiu contient-il de la caféine ?

    Oui. Comme il est préparé à base de café, le Bac Xiu contient de la caféine. Toutefois, sa forte proportion de lait lui confère un goût moins intense que celui des autres cafés vietnamiens.

    Où déguster un Bac Xiu à Paris ?

    Le Bac Xiu est proposé chez Ha Noi 1988 Ca Phe et Ha Noi 1988 Flowers & Archives, en version chaude ou glacée. Si vous souhaitez découvrir une boisson de la même famille, Cộng Cà Phê propose également plusieurs cafés vietnamiens à dominante de lait.

  • Petits pins, grandes histoires : découvrez la collection en édition limitée de Cộng Cà Phê Paris

    Petits pins, grandes histoires : découvrez la collection en édition limitée de Cộng Cà Phê Paris

    Le 4 mai 2026, Cộng Cà Phê Paris a dévoilé sa toute première collection de pins en édition limitée, créée exclusivement pour Paris. Inspirée de la rencontre entre la culture vietnamienne et l’univers parisien, cette collection met à l’honneur des souvenirs emblématiques du Vietnam et des symboles incontournables de la capitale française. Chaque pin est une invitation à emporter avec soi un petit morceau de l’univers de Cộng Cà Phê.

    L’histoire derrière notre collection de pins

    Certains souvenirs sont simplement beaux. D’autres racontent une histoire.

    Chez Cộng Cà Phê, nous avons toujours pensé que les plus petits objets pouvaient porter les plus grands souvenirs. Comme un carnet rempli de notes, une tasse en métal émaillé ou un filtre phin utilisé chaque jour, un simple pin peut rappeler un lieu, un voyage ou un moment particulier.

    C’est cette idée qui a donné naissance à notre collection de pins Paris en édition limitée.

    Créée exclusivement pour notre café parisien, cette collection célèbre la rencontre entre le Vietnam et la France, un dialogue culturel que nous faisons vivre chaque jour à travers notre café.

    Trois pins, trois histoires à découvrir

    Notre collection réunit trois pins en émail en édition limitée, chacun inspiré d’un symbole fort de l’univers de Cộng Cà Phê et de la rencontre entre les cultures vietnamienne et française.

    1. Casque militaire vietnamien (mũ cối)

    Sans doute le symbole le plus emblématique de Cộng Cà Phê, le mũ cối évoque immédiatement l’atmosphère nostalgique qui caractérise nos cafés.

    Bien plus qu’un simple accessoire, il est devenu l’un des emblèmes de notre marque. Il rend hommage à l’histoire du Vietnam, à la résilience de son peuple et aux scènes du quotidien qui inspirent l’univers de Cộng Cà Phê.

    1. Le croissant au lait concentré

    Existe-t-il une rencontre plus gourmande entre Paris et le Vietnam ?

    Inspiré du croissant français et du lait concentré sucré, si apprécié au Vietnam, ce pin célèbre avec humour la rencontre de deux traditions culinaires. Il reflète parfaitement l’esprit de Cộng Cà Phê : préserver les traditions tout en laissant place à de nouvelles histoires.

    1. La jeune femme en áo dài devant la tour Eiffel

    Ce pin illustre l’esprit même de l’aventure parisienne de Cộng Cà Phê.

    On y découvre une jeune femme vêtue d’un áo dài, la robe traditionnelle vietnamienne, traversant Paris à vélo au pied de la tour Eiffel. Cette illustration symbolise la rencontre entre deux cultures qui continuent de s’inspirer mutuellement.

    C’est un hommage à toutes celles et ceux qui portent le Vietnam dans leur cœur tout en partageant leur histoire à Paris.

    Des pins créés exclusivement pour Paris

    Contrairement à nos autres produits, cette collection a été créée exclusivement pour Cộng Cà Phê Paris.

    Chaque pin a été imaginé comme un souvenir à emporter, destiné à nos visiteurs, à nos clients fidèles et à tous ceux qui souhaitent garder une trace de leur passage chez Cộng. Soigneusement conçu, il raconte une histoire et reflète pleinement l’univers de notre marque.

    Accroché à un tote bag, une veste ou un sac à dos, ou simplement conservé dans une collection, chaque pin est pensé pour vous accompagner partout, comme les souvenirs qu’il évoque.

    Bien plus que de la marchandise

    Chez Cộng Cà Phê, nos créations ne sont pas de simples produits dérivés.

    Carnets, filtres phin, tasses en céramique, tote bags ou pins en émail : chaque objet prolonge l’expérience vécue dans nos cafés. Il permet d’emporter avec soi un morceau de la culture vietnamienne, de son savoir-faire et de son atmosphère unique.

    Avec cette collection de pins, nous poursuivons cette démarche en célébrant le lien qui unit Hanoï et Paris à travers des créations pleines de sens.

    Une collection adoptée par notre communauté

    Depuis le lancement de cette collection, nous sommes profondément touchés par l’enthousiasme de nos clients et de notre communauté.

    Voir chacun choisir son pin préféré, les échanger avec ses proches ou les partager sur les réseaux sociaux nous rappelle que les plus belles histoires sont faites pour être transmises.

    Cette collection a été imaginée pour vous, et c’est votre enthousiasme qui lui donne toute sa valeur.

    La collection vous attend chez Cộng Cà Phê

    La collection Paris Limited Edition Pin Collection est désormais disponible exclusivement chez Cộng Cà Phê Paris, au 18 Rue Volney, 75001 Paris.

    Que vous soyez de passage à Paris, à la recherche d’un souvenir unique ou simplement amateur d’objets à collectionner, nous vous invitons à découvrir cette collection en édition limitée, disponible jusqu’à épuisement des stocks.

    Parce que les plus petits souvenirs sont parfois ceux qui racontent les plus belles histoires.

  • Desserts vietnamiens à Paris : découvrez la nouvelle collection de chè de Cộng Cà Phê

    Desserts vietnamiens à Paris : découvrez la nouvelle collection de chè de Cộng Cà Phê

    À partir du 16 mars 2026, Cộng Cà Phê Paris ouvre un nouveau chapitre de son aventure culinaire avec le lancement de deux nouveaux desserts vietnamiens : Chè Xoài (chè à la mangue) et Chè Thạch Tổng Hợp (chè aux gelées variées). Avant leur lancement officiel, les membres de la communauté Cộng ont été invités à une dégustation exclusive, leur offrant l’opportunité de découvrir en avant-première et de célébrer ces nouvelles créations.

    Une tradition gourmande venue du Vietnam

    Chez Cộng Cà Phê, chaque nouvelle création raconte une histoire.

    Après avoir partagé la culture du café vietnamien avec les Parisiens, nous avons souhaité mettre à l’honneur une autre spécialité emblématique du Vietnam : le chè. Ce terme désigne un large éventail de desserts traditionnels, dégustés dans tout le pays tout au long de l’année.

    Servi chaud ou froid selon les recettes et les saisons, le chè est bien plus qu’un simple dessert. Il accompagne les pauses gourmandes, évoque les souvenirs d’enfance de nombreux Vietnamiens et incarne l’hospitalité propre à la culture vietnamienne. D’une région à l’autre, les recettes, les ingrédients et les saveurs varient, faisant du chè l’une des traditions culinaires les plus riches et les plus diversifiées du Vietnam.

    C’est en puisant dans cet héritage culinaire que notre équipe a imaginé deux nouvelles créations. Elles mettent à l’honneur la fraîcheur, l’équilibre des saveurs et toute la richesse de la gastronomie vietnamienne, tout en restant fidèles à l’esprit de Cộng Cà Phê.

    Découvrez notre nouvelle collection de chè

    Notre nouvelle collection se compose de deux nouveaux desserts, chacun inspiré de la tradition du chè, l’un des desserts les plus populaires du Vietnam.

    Chè Xoài

    Frais, fruité et gourmand, le Chè Xoài associe la douceur de la mangue mûre à une texture douce et légère. Chaque cuillère offre un dessert rafraîchissant, parfait pour les journées ensoleillées.

    Grâce à ses saveurs tropicales, il se déguste aussi bien après un repas qu’avec un café.

    Chè Thạch Tổng Hợp

    Le Chè Thạch Tổng Hợp est idéal pour ceux qui aiment découvrir différentes textures. Il réunit des gelées colorées, des ingrédients sucrés et du lait de coco dans un dessert à la fois frais et gourmand.

    Chaque cuillère offre une nouvelle combinaison de saveurs et de textures, ce qui en fait l’un des chè les plus appréciés au Vietnam.

    À travers ces deux créations, Cộng Cà Phê vous invite à découvrir toute la fraîcheur, la simplicité et l’équilibre des desserts vietnamiens.

    Une dégustation exclusive avant le lancement

    Avant le lancement officiel de cette nouvelle collection, Cộng Cà Phê Paris a invité les membres de sa communauté à une dégustation exclusive.

    Cette soirée a été imaginée comme un moment de partage, où nos clients les plus fidèles ont pu découvrir nos nouveaux desserts en avant-première.

    Les participants ont goûté les deux recettes, échangé avec notre équipe et découvert l’histoire qui se cache derrière chaque création, dans une ambiance conviviale et chaleureuse.

    Cette dégustation illustre l’une des valeurs essentielles de Cộng Cà Phê : créer des liens durables avec toutes les personnes qui nous accompagnent depuis notre arrivée à Paris.

    Leur enthousiasme, leurs échanges et leurs précieux retours nous encouragent à continuer de proposer des expériences qui vont bien au-delà d’une simple tasse de café.

    Plus qu’un simple dessert, une découverte du Vietnam

    Pour nous, le lancement d’une nouvelle création ne consiste pas simplement à ajouter un dessert à la carte. C’est aussi une nouvelle occasion de faire découvrir la culture vietnamienne.

    Si le café vietnamien reste au cœur de l’univers de Cộng Cà Phê, notre ambition est aussi de partager toute la richesse de la gastronomie vietnamienne : des boissons traditionnelles à la cuisine de rue, sans oublier les desserts qui accompagnent le quotidien des Vietnamiens.

    Avec cette nouvelle collection de chè, nous poursuivons cette démarche en faisant découvrir des saveurs encore peu connues en France, tout en mettant à l’honneur des recettes transmises de génération en génération.

    Continuer à faire découvrir la culture vietnamienne à Paris

    Depuis son ouverture à Paris, Cộng Cà Phê est devenu bien plus qu’un café.

    À travers nos ateliers, nos dégustations, nos collections saisonnières et nos événements culturels, nous créons des moments de rencontre où chacun peut découvrir le Vietnam à travers ses saveurs, ses traditions et ses histoires.

    Le lancement de cette nouvelle collection de chè s’inscrit pleinement dans cette volonté de proposer des expériences authentiques, où le café, la cuisine et le partage se rencontrent.

    Nous remercions chaleureusement toutes les personnes qui ont participé à cette dégustation et contribué à faire de ce lancement un moment aussi convivial qu’inoubliable.

    À déguster dès maintenant chez Cộng Cà Phê 

    Nos Chè Xoài et Chè Thạch Tổng Hợp sont désormais disponibles tous les jours chez Cộng Cà Phê Paris, au 18 Rue Volney, 75001 Paris.

    Que vous connaissiez déjà les desserts vietnamiens ou que vous découvriez le chè pour la première fois, nous serons ravis de vous accueillir et de vous faire découvrir une nouvelle facette de la gastronomie vietnamienne.

    Au plaisir de vous retrouver très bientôt chez Cộng Cà Phê Paris pour partager de nouvelles saveurs et de beaux moments.

    Cộng Cà Phê Paris au Paris Café Festival 2026 : faire découvrir la culture du café vietnamien en Europe

    Du 11 au 13 avril 2026, Cộng Cà Phê Paris a participé avec fierté au Paris Café Festival 2026, au “Le Carreau du Temple”, où nous avons accueilli des milliers d’amateurs de café, de professionnels du secteur et de visiteurs internationaux.

    Pendant ces trois journées, notre équipe a partagé toute la richesse de la culture du café vietnamien à travers des ateliers de préparation du café au phin, une cuisine de rue authentique, des expériences culturelles et la présentation de nos produits emblématiques.

    Trois jours dédiés au café vietnamien au Paris Café Festival 2026

    En tant que l’un des plus grands événements consacrés au café en Europe, le Paris Café Festival 2026 a réuni des marques de café, des torréfacteurs, des cafés et des professionnels venus du monde entier pour célébrer l’innovation, le savoir-faire et la culture du café.

    Installé aux stands 04A et 04D, Cộng Cà Phê Paris a proposé aux visiteurs une immersion dans l’univers du café vietnamien, mêlant saveurs authentiques et découverte de son patrimoine culturel.

    À la découverte de l’art du café vietnamien au phin

    L’un des temps forts de notre participation a été l’Atelier Cà Phê Phin, une série d’ateliers gratuits consacrés à la méthode traditionnelle de préparation du café vietnamien.

    Animée par notre équipe, chaque séance a permis aux participants de découvrir l’emblématique filtre vietnamien phin, son histoire, sa technique d’infusion ainsi que les caractéristiques uniques du café vietnamien 100 % Robusta.

    Les visiteurs ont pu observer comment un simple filtre métallique transforme lentement du café fraîchement moulu en l’une des boissons les plus emblématiques du Vietnam.

    Ces ateliers sont rapidement devenus l’une des animations les plus appréciées de notre stand, attirant de nombreux passionnés de café désireux de découvrir une méthode d’extraction différente de l’espresso et du café filtre.

    Un voyage gourmand au cœur du Vietnam

    Le café est encore meilleur lorsqu’il s’accompagne de spécialités gourmandes.

    Pendant le festival, les visiteurs ont également pu déguster deux spécialités vietnamiennes préparées par notre équipe :

  • Cong Caphe Paris: A Vietnamese Coffee Experience Near Opéra

    Cong Caphe Paris: A Vietnamese Coffee Experience Near Opéra

    Cong Caphe Paris is located at 18 Rue Volney, 75001 Paris, just moments from Opéra, and is currently open from 8:30 to 20:30.

    If you are searching for a Vietnamese café in central Paris, this is not the kind of place you are likely to confuse with the classic Parisian café next door. Cộng Cà Phê brings an entirely different visual world into the 1st arrondissement, along with Vietnamese coffee traditions and a menu built around flavours that many Parisians may be trying for the first time.

    The result is one of the more unexpected coffee experiences in the neighbourhood.

    Where Is Cong Caphe Paris?

    Cộng Cà Phê is located at 18 Rue Volney, 75001 Paris, close to Opéra and within easy reach of some of central Paris’s most visited districts. The official location page currently lists opening hours from 8:30 to 20:30.

    It is an interesting location for the brand.

    The surrounding area is associated with grand boulevards, hotels, shopping and the refined architecture of central Paris. Cộng, meanwhile, brings a much more informal visual language into the neighbourhood.

    That contrast is part of the appeal.

    You can spend the morning walking around Opéra or Place Vendôme and then step into a café inspired by memories of everyday Vietnam.

    Why Is the Location So Interesting?

    Paris is full of cafés. That fact makes opening another one in the city a difficult proposition unless there is a clear reason to visit.

    Cộng Cà Phê’s answer is not to imitate the traditional Parisian café.

    Instead, the space introduces a different cultural atmosphere. The brand’s identity draws inspiration from Vietnam’s bao cap period, creating interiors that use aged furniture, military-inspired green tones and nostalgic objects as part of a wider cultural story.

    Inside Retail Asia described the Paris location as retaining Cộng’s distinctive Vietnamese interior identity, including antique-style furnishings and a deliberately warm atmosphere.

    This creates an immediate contrast with the elegant exterior of the surrounding neighbourhood.

    What Is the Interior Like?

    The experience inside Cong Caphe Paris is designed to feel personal rather than polished in a conventional luxury sense.

    Vintage-style tables and furniture sit alongside details inspired by Vietnamese everyday life. There are objects to notice, textures that feel lived-in and visual references that encourage visitors to spend time looking around rather than simply ordering a takeaway coffee.

    A recent local review described the space as strongly connected to the Hanoi café experience, highlighting the nostalgic décor and vintage tables.

    This is important because Cộng’s atmosphere is not separate from what it serves.

    Vietnamese coffee culture is often about spending time. A coffee can be an excuse to meet someone, work for an afternoon, watch the street or simply sit without rushing anywhere. The space supports that slower way of experiencing a café.

    Who Visits Cong Caphe Paris?

    One of the most interesting things about the café is the mixture of people it attracts.

    For Vietnamese people living in Paris, familiar flavours and visual details can offer a connection to home. Local reviews have specifically noted the appeal of the space for people who have spent time in Vietnam or are looking for a sense of cultural familiarity.

    For tourists, Cộng offers an easy introduction to Vietnamese coffee without leaving central Paris.

    For Parisians, it can simply be something different. The drinks do not follow the standard espresso, cappuccino and café crème formula, and the menu encourages a more exploratory approach.

    Then there are the coffee lovers who arrive because they have heard about one particular drink: coconut coffee.

    Is Cong Caphe Paris Worth Visiting?

    If you are looking for a traditional French espresso, Paris has thousands of options.

    If you want to discover what Vietnamese coffee culture tastes and feels like, Cộng offers something more distinctive.

    Local reviewers have praised the traditional Vietnamese coffee flavours and frozen drinks, with particular enthusiasm for the iced coconut coffee and other refreshing creations.

    One of the reasons this matters is that Vietnamese coffee should not be understood as a version of a European latte with a few exotic ingredients added.

    The flavours have their own identity.

    Condensed milk brings sweetness and richness. Vietnamese coffee delivers intensity. Coconut adds another dimension entirely, creating something that can feel closer to a dessert and a coffee at the same time.

    [Internal link opportunity: Cong Caphe Paris Menu: What Should You Order First?]

    What Should You Do Around Cong Caphe Paris?

    The café works particularly well as part of a day spent exploring central Paris.

    You are close to the Opéra area and within walking distance of many of the city’s shopping streets and cultural landmarks. Rather than treating the café as a destination that requires an entire journey, it can easily become a pause within a larger Paris itinerary.

    That is also consistent with Vietnamese coffee culture itself.

    Coffee does not always need an occasion. Sometimes you simply stop.

    You sit down.

    You order something cold or hot.

    You stay longer than you expected.

    A Different Kind of Café in Central Paris

    Perhaps that is the simplest way to understand Cong Caphe Paris.

    It does not try to compete with the historic Parisian café by becoming more Parisian. It brings another café culture into the city instead.

    The location is central. The address is easy to reach. But once inside, the references shift towards Vietnam.

    For someone who misses Vietnam, that may be precisely the reason to visit. For someone who has never been, it may be an introduction.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Cong Caphe Paris

    Where is Cong Caphe Paris?

    Cộng Cà Phê Paris is located at 18 Rue Volney, 75001 Paris, near the Opéra district.

    What are Cong Caphe Paris opening hours?

    The official location page currently lists opening hours from 8:30 to 20:30.

    What is Cong Caphe Paris known for?

    The café is known for Vietnamese coffee, its nostalgic Vietnamese-inspired interior and signature coconut-based coffee drinks.

    Is Cong Caphe Paris close to Opéra?

    Yes. The café is located in central Paris near the Opéra district, making it easy to include in a day of sightseeing or shopping.

    What should I order at Cong Caphe Paris?

    The coconut coffee is one of the brand’s best-known drinks. The full menu also includes Vietnamese coffee, coconut creations, matcha, tea and seasonal options.

  • Bac Xiu: The White Coffee That Carries All of Old Saigon in One Cup

    Bac Xiu: The White Coffee That Carries All of Old Saigon in One Cup

    Some drinks do not need a fancy name to stay unforgettable, and Bac Xiu is exactly that kind of drink. To the people of old Saigon, it was never just a milk coffee. It was a small piece of the bustling Cho Lon district, of sidewalk coffee carts, and of the way Vietnamese people took something borrowed from elsewhere and quietly made it their own.

    A Name That Sounds Strange, Until You Hear the Story

    Taken on its own, the name Bac Xiu gives almost no hint that it is even a coffee. If anything, it sounds closer to a random pair of syllables than the name of a warm, milky drink. And yet that unfamiliarity is exactly what makes it so memorable.

    Bac Xiu is a shortened form of Bac Tay Xiu Phe, a phrase rooted in Cantonese, the language once widely spoken among the Chinese community living in Saigon’s Cho Lon district in the middle of the twentieth century. Bac means white, standing in for milk. Tay refers to a cup or glass. Xiu means a little, a small amount. Phe refers to coffee itself. Put together, Bac Tay Xiu Phe translates roughly to a white cup of milk with a little coffee added in, the exact reverse of a standard Vietnamese milk coffee, where coffee is always the dominant part.

    From a Worker’s Breakfast to a Symbol of an Entire City

    Back in the 1950s and 1960s, when fresh milk was still hard to come by, breakfast for most working people in Saigon was simple: a baguette alongside a cup of warm sweetened condensed milk. From that humble starting point, the Chinese community in Cho Lon began adding a small amount of coffee to the milk, creating something gentler and easier to drink than a strong milk coffee, a version friendly even to people who never cared for bitterness.

    Thanks to that soft, comforting sweetness, Bac Xiu quickly spread beyond the Chinese community and into sidewalk coffee stalls across Saigon, eventually becoming a fixture of everyday life in the city. In many ways, it strips coffee down to its gentlest form, keeping only the warmth and none of the sharp bitterness.

    Bac Xiu, Reimagined at Cong

    At Cong, Bac Xiu is told through a slightly different lens, one that keeps its original spirit intact while giving it a new layer to wear. Instead of stopping at the usual balance of strong phin brewed coffee and smooth condensed milk, Cong adds rich coconut cream into the mix, building an extra dimension of flavor that still feels familiar rather than foreign.

    The taste of slow roasted robusta coffee gently seeps into the white milk base, blending with the richness of coconut cream to create something that feels both nostalgic and new from the very first sip.

    This is not a replacement for the traditional Bac Xiu, it is a way of keeping this heritage drink alive and relevant today, echoing how the people of old Saigon once turned a simple cup of warm milk and coffee into a defining piece of their own culture.

    Familiar and Reinvented at the Same Time

    Sipping a cup of Bac Xiu at Cong, you will notice two things that seem like opposites blending together with surprising ease: the nostalgia of a drink with more than half a century of history behind it, and the freshness of a recipe reworked for today. That is exactly the spirit Cong wants every cup to carry, holding onto the soul of old Saigon while never being afraid to experiment and let that soul take on a new life.

    If you are in France and curious to try this particular reinvention of Bac Xiu for yourself, stop by Cong Ca Phe at 18 Rue Volney, Paris, open every day. Familiar yet reinvented, give it a try, you might just fall for it!

  • White Coco Coffee in Paris: What It Is, How It Tastes and Where to Try It

    White Coco Coffee in Paris: What It Is, How It Tastes and Where to Try It

    White coco coffee is creamy, sweet, cold, coconut-forward, and still built around coffee. Unlike a regular iced latte, white coco coffee does not use coconut as a small flavouring note. Coconut is the point of the drink.

    In Paris, white coco coffee is especially worth understanding because different Vietnamese cafés interpret it differently. At Cộng Cà Phê, it appears directly on the menu as White coco coffee. At Ha Noi 1988, the same coconut-coffee idea appears through drinks such as Cà Phê Sữa Dừa, Coconut Iced Americano, and Cà Phê Cốt Dừa Đá Xay.

    Here is what white coco coffee is, what it tastes like, how it is made, and where to try it in Paris.

    Discovering What White Coco Coffee Is

    White coco coffee is a Vietnamese coffee drink built around coffee, coconut, and milk or condensed milk. The “white” part usually refers to the milkier, creamier profile of the drink, while “coco” points to coconut milk, coconut cream, or coconut ice cream, depending on the café.

    Exploring the Taste of White Coco Coffee

    White coco coffee tastes creamy first. The coconut brings sweetness, fat, and a gentle tropical aroma that makes the drink feel fuller than a normal iced coffee. 

    The coffee gives the drink structure. Without it, coconut can become too sweet or too soft. With it, the bitterness of the coffee cuts through the richness and keeps the drink from becoming heavy. A good white coco coffee should feel balanced: creamy but not flat, sweet but not sugary, refreshing but still satisfying.

    white coco coffee

    How to Prepare White Coco Coffee

    The preparation depends on the café, but the logic is simple: coffee needs to be strong enough to stand up to coconut.

    A classic coconut coffee starts with a coffee base, then adds coconut milk, coconut cream, or coconut ice cream. Some versions are blended with ice, which gives the drink a thicker, frostier texture. Others are served over ice, where the layers gradually mix as you drink.

    The balance matters. Too much coconut and the coffee disappears. Too much coffee and the coconut feels like an afterthought. The best white coco coffee keeps both present: the roasted bitterness of coffee and the creamy sweetness of coconut.

  • Vietnamese Americano in Paris: What It Is, How It Tastes and Where to Try It

    Vietnamese Americano in Paris: What It Is, How It Tastes and Where to Try It

    Vietnamese Americano is a good choice if you like black coffee, but want something more distinctive than a standard café Americano. It sits between two worlds: the clean, diluted structure of an Americano and the stronger, darker taste of Vietnamese coffee.

    In Paris, you can order it at Cộng Cà Phê, where Vietnamese Americano appears as part of a wider Vietnamese Coffee menu. Ha Noi 1988 Cà Phê and Ha Noi 1988 Flowers & Archives serve Iced Americano and modern variations such as Orange Iced Americano, Coconut Iced Americano, and Matcha Iced Americano.

    Here is what Vietnamese Americano is, its variants and where to try it in Paris.

    What Is Vietnamese Americano?

    Vietnamese Americano is an Americano-style black coffee drink interpreted through Vietnamese coffee culture. A classic Americano is usually made by adding water to espresso, creating a longer coffee that is less concentrated than espresso but still clean and aromatic.

    On a Vietnamese café menu, it sits beside drinks like black coffee, brown coffee, white coco coffee, Vietnamese cappuccino, salted cream coffee, and coconut coffee. That means it is not just a generic espresso drink. It becomes the lighter, cleaner option inside a Vietnamese coffee system that is usually known for stronger, sweeter, and creamier drinks.

    Vietnamese Americano Variants You May Like

    In Vietnamese coffee menus, Americano can appear under slightly different names and formats. At Cộng Cà Phê, Vietnamese Americano is also connected to “Vina Cano,” with “cano” understood as Americano. The menu also includes Vina Cano Phở, a more experimental version in the Vietnamese Phở Coffee section.

    At Ha Noi 1988, the Americano-style options are more modern café drinks. You can find Iced Americano, Orange Iced Americano, Coconut Iced Americano, and Matcha Iced Americano. These are not all “Vietnamese Americano” by exact name, but they belong to the same Americano-style family: black coffee lengthened with water or ice, sometimes with fruit, coconut, or matcha added for a more creative taste.

    Where to Try Vietnamese Americano in Paris

    Cộng Cà Phê

    Cộng Cà Phê is located at 18 Rue Volney, 75001 Paris, close to Place Vendôme and Opéra. Founded in Hanoi in 2007, Cộng is known for its 1980s Vietnam-inspired atmosphere and a menu built around Vietnamese coffee, local drinks, cacao, matcha, tea, and coconut-based specialties.

    vietnamese americano

    On the menu, Vietnamese Americano appears in the Vietnamese Coffee section. If you want to compare it with other drinks, Cộng also serves Black Coffee, Brown Coffee, White Coco Coffee, Vietnamese Cappuccino, Vina Latte, and cream-topped coffee drinks. For something more experimental, the Vietnamese Phở Coffee section includes Vina Cano Phở.

    Ha Noi 1988 Cà Phê

    Ha Noi 1988 Cà Phê is located at 35 Rue Galande, 75005 Paris, near Notre-Dame. The café is inspired by nostalgic Hanoi cafés and traditional tailor shops from the 1980s, which gives it a small, warm, and recognizably Vietnamese atmosphere.

    Ha Noi 1988 Cà Phê does not list Vietnamese Americano as an exact menu item. Instead, it offers Iced Americano, Orange Iced Americano, Coconut Iced Americano, and Matcha Iced Americano. This makes it a good option if your search intent is Americano-style coffee in a Vietnamese café rather than the specific Cộng menu item.

    The location also serves Vietnamese filtered coffee, including hot black phin coffee, iced black coffee, phin coffee with condensed milk, iced coffee with condensed milk, coconut coffee, Vietnamese latte, egg coffee, salted cream coffee, and yogurt coffee. So if you begin with an Americano-style drink, you can easily compare it with more traditional Vietnamese coffee options.

  • Vietnamese Cappuccino in Paris: What It Is and Where to Try It

    Vietnamese Cappuccino in Paris: What It Is and Where to Try It

    Vietnamese cappuccino is an interesting drink because it takes a familiar European coffee format and places it inside Vietnamese café culture. A classic cappuccino is usually built from espresso, steamed milk, and foam. Vietnamese cappuccino keeps the idea of a foamy, coffee-based drink, but the surrounding menu context changes everything.

    In a Vietnamese café, cappuccino does not sit alone beside espresso and latte. It appears next to black coffee, brown coffee, white coco coffee, salted cream coffee, coconut coffee, phin coffee, and other drinks built around stronger coffee, sweeter milk, and more textured toppings. That makes Vietnamese cappuccino feel less like a strict Italian recipe and more like a bridge between global coffee habits and Vietnamese drink culture.

    In Paris, Cộng Cà Phê is the clearest place to order Vietnamese cappuccino by name. Ha Noi 1988 Cà Phê and Ha Noi 1988 Flowers & Archives do not list that exact phrase, but both serve cappuccino in a Vietnamese café setting.

    What Is Vietnamese Cappuccino?

    Vietnamese cappuccino is a cappuccino-style coffee drink interpreted through Vietnamese taste. At its simplest, it is a coffee drink with milk and foam, but it is usually understood inside a broader Vietnamese coffee menu rather than as a purely Italian café item.

    Vietnamese Cappuccino Variants 

    In Vietnamese coffee menus, Vietnamese cappuccino can appear under a few flexible names. At Cộng Cà Phê, it is closely connected to “Vina Capu,” with “capu” understood as cappuccino. The menu also includes Phở Vina Capu, a more experimental version in the Vietnamese Phở Coffee section.

    At Ha Noi 1988 Cà Phê and Ha Noi 1988 Flowers & Archives, the menu lists Cappuccino under specialty coffee. These cafés do not use the exact phrase Vietnamese cappuccino, but the drink still belongs to the same cappuccino-style family: coffee with milk and foam, served inside a Vietnamese café setting.

    So for this keyword, Vietnamese cappuccino can cover Vietnamese Cappuccino, Vina Capu, Phở Vina Capu, and classic Cappuccino served in Vietnamese cafés. The core idea is not the exact menu name, but the cappuccino format interpreted through Vietnamese coffee culture.

    Cộng Cà Phê

  • Bac Xiu in Paris: What It Is, How It Tastes and Where to Try It

    Bac Xiu in Paris: What It Is, How It Tastes and Where to Try It

    Bac xiu is one of the gentlest ways to enter Vietnamese coffee culture. If Vietnamese black coffee feels too strong, and condensed milk coffee still tastes too coffee-forward, bac xiu sits on the softer side: milky, sweet, smooth, and lightly caffeinated compared with most Vietnamese coffee drinks.

    It is sometimes translated as Vietnamese latte, but that only explains part of the drink. A latte usually starts with espresso and fresh milk. Bac xiu comes from a different coffee culture, one shaped by condensed milk, strong coffee, ice, and the habit of adjusting intensity through ratios rather than removing the coffee completely.

    In Paris, bac xiu appears directly on the menus at Ha Noi 1988 Cà Phê and Ha Noi 1988 Flowers & Archives. At Cộng Cà Phê, the closest milk-forward Vietnamese coffee option is listed in English as White coco coffee, inside the Vietnamese Coffee section.

    What Is Bac Xiu?

    Bac xiu, or bạc xỉu, is a Vietnamese coffee drink made with more milk than coffee. It is commonly understood as a lighter, sweeter alternative to cà phê sữa đá. Where Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk keeps the coffee strong, bac xiu softens the drink further, making it creamier and easier to sip.

    Bac Xiu Variants 

    On Vietnamese coffee menus, bac xiu can appear under a few flexible names, including Bạc Xỉu, Bạc Sỉu, Vietnamese latte, white coffee, and White Coco Coffee. The spelling may change slightly, but the core idea stays the same: a softer, milk-forward Vietnamese coffee drink.

    At Ha Noi 1988 Cà Phê, the menu lists Bạc Xỉu Nóng/Đá. At Ha Noi 1988 Flowers & Archives, the menu lists Bạc Sỉu Nóng/Đá, translated as hot or iced Vietnamese latte. These are the clearest bac xiu options in Paris.

    At Cộng Cà Phê, the closest related drink is White Coco Coffee. The menu also includes Phở White Coco, a more experimental version in the Vietnamese Phở Coffee section. These drinks are not labelled “bac xiu” in English, but they belong to the same white coffee family: milkier, smoother, and gentler than black coffee or brown coffee.

    bac-xiu

    Bac xiu can cover Bạc Xỉu, Bạc Sỉu, Vietnamese latte, White Coco Coffee, Phở White Coco, and other white coffee-style Vietnamese drinks. The key is not the exact spelling, but the soft coffee-and-milk profile.

    The Vietnamese Connection

    Bac xiu is strongly associated with Southern Vietnamese coffee culture and the Chinese-Vietnamese communities of Chợ Lớn. The name is often linked to Cantonese-influenced café language, and the drink became popular because it made coffee more approachable for people who preferred milkier, sweeter drinks.

    That is why bac xiu matters. It shows that Vietnamese coffee is not only about strength. It is also about adjustment: more coffee, less coffee, more milk, more ice, more sweetness, more texture. Bac xiu is the gentle end of that spectrum.

    Where to Try Bac Xiu in Paris

    Cộng Cà Phê

The closest relevant milk-forward option is White coco coffee in the Vietnamese Coffee section, alongside Black Coffee, Brown Coffee, Vietnamese Americano, Vietnamese Cappuccino, and Vina Latte.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Bac Xiu

    What is bac xiu made of?

    Bac xiu is usually made with coffee and a larger amount of milk, often with condensed milk for sweetness and body.

    Is bac xiu the same as Vietnamese iced coffee?

    Not quite. Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk is stronger and more coffee-forward. Bac xiu is milkier and softer.

    Does bac xiu contain caffeine?

    Yes. Bac xiu contains coffee, so it contains caffeine, though it usually tastes lighter than stronger Vietnamese coffee drinks.

    Where can I try bac xiu in Paris?

    For clearly labelled bac xiu, visit Ha Noi 1988 Cà Phê or Ha Noi 1988 Flowers & Archives. For a related milk-forward Vietnamese coffee option, visit Cộng Cà Phê.
