The Vietnamese coffee chain Cong Ca Phe has announced its foray into the Indonesian market, with the opening of its first branch in Jakarta in the forthcoming months. This strategic move aims to cement the Hanoi-based brand’s global presence by penetrating Indonesia’s thriving and highly competitive coffee shop industry.
A Blend of Heritage and Authenticity
Cong Ca Phe’s entrance into the Indonesian market, one of the most sought-after by its customers, is a testament to the brand’s dedication to preserving its Vietnamese roots. At the same time, it seeks to engage Indonesian consumers by offering a unique café experience that transcends the typical coffee service.
The inaugural store in Gandaria City, South Jakarta, will feature Cong Ca Phe’s iconic Vietnamese Coconut Coffee. The menu will also include traditional Vietnamese coffee, a variety of non-coffee beverages, and a selection of Vietnamese-inspired dishes.
The brand will continue its commitment to quality and authenticity by importing coffee beans and other essential ingredients directly from Vietnam. This initial store will serve as a litmus test for gauging local interest before any wider expansion plans are executed. Subsequent growth within Indonesia will hinge upon the success of this Jakarta-based outlet.

Established in 2007 in Hanoi by performance artist Linh Dung, Cong Ca Phe takes pride in its strong Vietnamese identity. The brand’s concept revolves around Vietnamese coffee culture and a nostalgic café atmosphere that harkens back to Vietnam.
