RAWCOCO COFFEE
Description
Rawcoco Coffee sits on a quieter street in the Old Town, which already puts it ahead of half the cafes here. The salt cream coffee is the thing to order – skip the smoothies, which reviewers consistently describe as watered down.
The real reason people stay longer than planned is the live music. A small guitar ensemble plays regularly, and the vibe lands somewhere between a neighborhood hangout and an accidental concert. (The Vietnamese reviews specifically mention tipping the musicians or buying them a beer, which tells you everything about the culture of the place.)
Food is reportedly not their strength – at least one order of a hamburger ended badly – so treat this as a drinks-and-music stop, not a meal destination.
Highlights
Insider Tip
