1
This is a coffee shop in Vietnam.
2
This is a Vietnamese coffee.
3
This is also a Vietnamese coffee.
4
Hi, I'm Han, a 32-year-old local.
5
Here, coffee is everything.
6
Let me take you on a tour of some of the most unique coffee shops in Vietnam.
7
Unlike many international chains, most people buy their coffee from small local cafes that have been serving the neighborhood for years.
8
Vietnamese coffee is much bolder, stronger, with an intense flavor, while people enjoy Starbucks flavor.
9
Many locals find it milder than the coffee they're used to drinking every day.
10
A traditional cup of Vietnamese coffee costs only one dollar,
11
making it affordable enough for many people to enjoy every day.
12
The coffee culture focuses on its simplicity.
13
Just a few plastic chairs and a small, simple space are often enough for people to sit down,
14
enjoy a cup of coffee, and spend time together.
15
For many Vietnamese people, the coffee itself is only part of the experience.
16
What really matters is the conversation.
17
People gather over a cup of coffee to catch up on daily life.
18
On my way to the next coffee destination, I couldn't help but stop and show you this.
19
This sea of motorbikes might look overwhelming at first, but it's completely normal in Vietnam.
20
Instead of a cafe at street level, this one is hidden inside an old apartment building.
21
To get there, you have to get to the seventh floor.
22
Half the experience is simply finding the cafe.
23
And once you reach the top, you're rewarded with a completely different atmosphere.
24
Egg coffee is one of Vietnam's most unique coffee drinks.
25
It begins with a layer of condensed milk, followed by fresh milk.
26
Freshly brewed coffee is then poured into the cup.
27
Before it is finished with a thick layer of whipped egg yolk. In some coffee shops,
28
a thin layer of sugar is sprinkled over the foam before the staff uses a small torch to caramelize the top.
29
This creates a light, crispy layer that contrasts with the soft, creamy foam underneath.
30
Coffee was born out of necessity.
31
In the 1940s, fresh milk was scarce in Vietnam,
32
so a bartender in Hanoi whipped egg yolks with sugar and condensed milk as a substitute.
33
The result became one of Vietnam's most iconic coffee drinks.
34
First, you need to break the top with a spoon.
35
The traditional way to enjoy egg coffee is not to stir it immediately.
36
Instead, take a spoonful of the creamy egg foam first, then sip the strong coffee underneath.
37
As you continue drinking, the two gradually blend together,
38
balancing the bitterness of the coffee with the sweetness and richness of the egg cream.
39
Combined with the strong coffee below, the drink offers a rich texture and a unique flavor that many visitors have never experienced before.
40
Rather than covering up the building's age, the owners have embraced it.
41
The peeling walls, exposed concrete, and weathered textures have all been left intact, giving the space a vintage,
42
lived-in character that tells the story of the building itself.
43
This old apartment is home to dozens of small cafes,
44
boutiques, and local shops, so exploring the building becomes part of the experience itself.
45
The entire cafe feels like a small rainforest, filled with hanging plants, wooden paths, and dense greenery.
46
Every corner has a different backdrop, which is why people love walking around and taking photos here.
47
In Vietnam, cafes like this are not only about the coffee, they are also places to explore, relax, and create memories.
48
One of the most popular photo spots at this coffee shop
49
is a small boat floating on a pond covered with colorful flowers.
50
Many young people come here to take photos and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
51
When it was my turn to get into the boat, I honestly felt a little nervous.
52
Looking at its small size, I wasn't sure if it could support someone my size.
53
Sitting here makes me understand why many women love taking photos.
54
I almost feel like a princess sitting in the middle of the pond.
55
Many coffee shop owners invest heavily in large spaces,
56
beautiful landscapes, and creative designs to create memorable experiences for their customers.
57
Many people visit these coffee shops to escape the busy city and enjoy the peaceful scenery.
58
It's a beautiful place.
59
It's a beautiful place.
60
It's a beautiful place.
61
It's beautiful.
62
It's beautiful.
63
It's beautiful.
64
It's beautiful.
65
For many Vietnamese people, taking beautiful photos has become an important reason to visit these coffee shops.
66
Many customers come not only to relax, but also to capture memorable moments and share them on social media.
67
Moving on to a different location where coffee is the main focus.
68
Another traditional way of making coffee in Vietnam is called Sok Coffee.
69
Instead of using a metal filter or a modern coffee machine, the coffee is brewed through a cloth filter.
70
The barista first places ground coffee inside the cloth filter before slowly pouring hot water over it.
71
The coffee is then gently stirred to help release more flavor as it passes through the cloth filter into the container below.
72
Although the process is slower than modern brewing methods,
73
many people enjoy watching each step because it reflects the care and patience behind every cup.
74
For many coffee lovers, Sok coffee is not only about the taste, but also about experiencing one of Vietnam's traditional brewing methods.
75
This cup is about $1.70, while a drink at Starbucks usually costs roughly two times more.
76
For the price of one Starbucks coffee, many Vietnamese people could buy two or even three cups from a local cafe.
77
And because the local coffee is often brewed with bold Vietnamese Robusta beans,
78
many customers already feel they're getting the stronger flavor they prefer, at a much lower price.
79
After all that coffee, it was finally time to grab a local meal.
80
One of Vietnam's most unique food traditions is eating snails.
81
While the idea of eating snails might sound unusual to many visitors, it's incredibly popular here.
82
The vendor is right here on the sidewalk, squatting beside a small stove and cooking every dish by hand.
83
She works with only a few pots, metal bowls, and simple ingredients arranged around her.
84
Customers can watch everything being prepared just a few feet away.
85
This is stir-fried razor clams with instant noodles, a dish that's incredibly popular at local seafood restaurants a dish that's incredibly popular at local seafood restaurants.
86
The noodles soak up all the savory juices from the clams, while fresh vegetables add a bit of crunch,
87
creating a simple but satisfying meal that's perfect for sharing.
88
Another favorite is salted egg yolk spotted Babylon snails.
89
The snails are coated in a rich buttery salted egg sauce that's creamy, slightly sweet, and packed with umami.
90
It's messy to eat, but that's part of the fun.
91
Seafood restaurants like this are where friends and families gather after work, ordering a table full of dishes to share.
92
Just like coffee, the food is only part of the experience.
93
The real attraction is spending hours talking, laughing, and enjoying a meal together.
94
One thing I love is how affordable it is.
95
For around $2 a dish, you can order several different kinds of snails and share them with three or four people.
96
Instead of everyone ordering their own meal, the whole table gets to sample a variety of flavors,
97
making it a fun and surprisingly inexpensive dining experience.
98
Steamed clams with lemongrass.
99
Grilled scallops with cheese.
100
Squid teeth in a spicy butter sauce,
101
stir-fried noodles with razor clams, steamed swimming crab.
102
What Starbucks discovered is that Vietnam already had one of the world's richest coffee cultures long before it arrived.
103
All cafes offer stronger coffee,
104
lower prices, unique spaces, and deeply rooted traditions that have been part of everyday life for generations.
105
In Vietnam, coffee isn't just a drink.
106
It's a ritual, a social gathering, and an important part of the culture.
107
So the story isn't about Starbucks losing.
108
It's about entering a market where coffee was already deeply woven into people's lives.
109
And perhaps that's the biggest lesson of all.
110
Even one of the world's most recognizable brands can't simply replace a tradition that millions of people already love.
111
Thank you so much for watching, and I'll see you in the next video.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
