Trung Nguyên coffee

The first Vietnamese coffee chain, Trung Nguyên houses can be found all over the city. The coffee is not too bad provided you avoid the super strength robusta blends. Trung Nguyên fights for market share with the other Vietnam-based Starbucks imitator, Highlands Coffee. Not much separates the two, however coffee aficionados seem to favour the Italian houses over the locals.
