Vietnam is the 2nd biggest producer of coffee after Brazil apparently. And everywhere there are cafés, varying in their offerings and surroundings. Most Vietnamese drink iced coffee - a very strong brew is filtered into a cup, then shaken up with condensed milk and ice to produce a long drink. We avoided the ice, so had the brew on its own, which is potent. More to my liking was the Lipton hot tea we found. It tasted nicer in the countryside than Saigon, presumably due to the water though I'm not sure why. We also had jasmine tea which was delicious, and a cold drink - green tea with lemon flavour, very sugary but delicious.
People seem to be eating or drinking all the time in Vietnam, which contributed to a relaxed ambience even in the chaos of Saigon traffic.
