(SPOT.ph) Cong Caphe is one of the brands dominating Vietnam's coffee scene, with 63 branches dotting the country. They've also begun bringing their signatures to other countries like Canada, Taiwan, Malaysia, South Korea, and France. And just earlier this year, they opened their first branch in the Philippines at Gateway 2.
Now, they're opening a second branch in Quezon City, and this one promises a more immersive experience—closer to how it’s done back in Vietnam. Unlike the mall setup, this new spot will be a standalone store.
Cong Caphe to open a standalone branch in Quezon City
In an exchange with SPOT.ph earlier this year, Cong Caphe Philippines CEO Jalisha Yulangco revealed plans to open a second Cong Caphe branch on Maginhawa street, Quezon City. Things are moving fast (way faster than moving on from a situationship) as the new spot is officially opening its doors at 92 Maginhawa Street, Teacher's Village, Quezon City on July 27.

The new Cong Caphe branch will be a two-story standalone store—this time, the interiors will have a “library” theme, in contrast to Gateway Mall 2’s “daily life” concept. This tracks with Yulangco's intent for the Maginhawa branch to focus on the student demographic, since schools and universities surround the area. This is smaller than the Gateway Mall 2 branch, which aligns if they’re going for a vibe closer to Vietnam’s local cafés: nondescript, narrow, and intentionally intimate.
Looking to dig into your Cong Caphe go-to's? It's confirmed: the soon-to-open Maginhawa branch will be serving the brand's signature drinks, including the Bac Xiu (White Coffee), Ca Kem Dau Phone (Coffee with Peanut Butter Cream), and Cot Dua Com Xanh (Coconut Green Rice Coffee). You’ll also find other coffee and tea options on the menu, plus their lineup of bánh mì with different proteins: Pork, Beef Satay, and Lemongrass Chicken.
Cong Caphe Maghinahwa is at 92 Maginhawa Street, Teacher's Village, Quezon City. Open from Monday to Sunday, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Update (July 22, 2025, 11:00 am): The family-themed interior for the Maginhawa branch has been changed to a library-themed interior.
