Settle in to the eclectic beats and kitsch Communist memorabilia at hip Cong Caphe with a caphe sua da (iced coffee with condensed milk), caphe nong (hot coffee with condensed milk), a latte, cappuccino or tra (tea), and take in the views of St Joseph Cathedral opposite. Service is usually superb. There are tons of branches about town; check the website.
