Coffee city… take away

With a prosperous and civilized city, the most prosperous in the country, in addition to the "favorable weather" climate along with many other factors, this city of love and nostalgia has become even more suitable for the drink that the whole world loves, is all... high on. High on coffee.

Sipping a cup of coffee while enjoying love songs is "extremely delicious". Songs like Saigon Sunshine, The Road with Flying Tamarind Leaves, Young City, City of Love and Memory , ... blend together with each drop of coffee ... falling, each sip of coffee ... drinking. Very touching for those who love music , even those who love ... less.

One of the beautiful, simple and familiar images of Saigon is street coffee. Street coffee is truly enjoyed while moving on the street, that is take away coffee. With a dynamic city and also full of energy of a bustling life, take away coffee has become an indispensable feature. Take away coffee for reasons such as: not having much time to enjoy it at the shop, the way to work is quite far so the cup of coffee is enjoyed on the long way, a drink to protect against the sun, quench thirst when the sun is blazing (such as these days of March).

For me, takeaway coffee has the added sweetness of "sugar". Sugar here means the distance traveled. From home to the work unit is over 30 km. Having a cup of coffee is like having a close friend to accompany me. Coffee is first and foremost about enjoying its delicious taste. Besides, it also contributes to supplementing energy "to protect against the sun and quench thirst" making me more refreshed and healthier.

The city of coffee… take away. Looking at the cups of coffee hanging on moving vehicles, seeing people holding cups of coffee “sipping” on the street is enough to make you love, feel affection and feel nostalgia for Saigon coffee!
