A slow-dripped cup of Vietnamese coffee found a new home in Jakarta. Cộng Cà Phê, the cafe brand born in Hanoi, opened its first store in Indonesia at Gandaria City, South Jakarta on November 13, 2026.
The store brings its phin brewing method, a handcrafted interior, and a menu priced from IDR 30,000 to IDR 59,000.
A Performance Artist’s Cafe
Cộng Cà Phê was founded in 2007 by Linh Dung, a former performance artist. The first cafe opened on Trieu Viet Vuong Street in Hanoi.
According to the company, Linh Dung drew on childhood memories and Viet Nam’s cultural heritage to create a cafe with a story of its own, built around nostalgia, creativity, and authenticity.
Since then, the brand has grown across Viet Nam and abroad, and Indonesia is the next chapter of that journey, in the brand’s words
A Factory Concept Inside the Mall
Many Cộng stores in Viet Nam are standalone cafes, but the Gandaria City outlet sits inside a shopping mall. The store was adapted to that setting while keeping the brand’s identity in its interiors and storytelling.
For its Indonesian debut, the company introduced what it calls the Factory Concept. It features rustic textures, nostalgic details, and handcrafted interior elements prepared in Viet Nam for the Gandaria City store.
The company says the aim is to give Indonesian customers the same connection to Vietnamese culture found in its stores back home.
Brewed Slowly, Served Vietnamese-Style
Coffee at Cộng is prepared with the traditional phin method. A phin is a small metal drip filter that sits on top of a cup, letting hot water pass slowly through the ground coffee.
The company says this slow, manual process brings out the distinctive character of Vietnamese coffee beans. The opening includes a phin brewing demonstration led by the brand’s principal team from Viet Nam.
Cộng’s signature creations at the Jakarta store include:
- Coconut Coffee
- Coconut Green Rice
- Coconut Mung Bean
- Coconut Cocoa
- Bạc Xỉu
- Peanut Butter Coffee
The menu also includes Vietnamese-inspired drinks such as Saigon Salted Kumquat. The company calls the menu an accessible introduction to Vietnamese flavors, with prices from IDR 30,000 to IDR 59,000.
Spin the Wheel on Opening Day
To mark the grand opening on November 13, 2026, customers can join a Spin Wheel activation for a chance to win exclusive Cộng Cà Phê merchandise.
In its release, the company said every culture has a story to tell, and that Cộng’s story begins with a cup of coffee.
With the Gandaria City opening, Cộng Cà Phê begins its journey in Indonesia, positioning the store as a space where coffee brings people together through culture, stories, and shared moments.
