"Going for coffee" is a popular way Vietnamese refer to meeting friends or diving into work. Having a coffee is a way for Vietnamese to socialize, enjoy leisure time with close relatives, be more open to each other, and discuss business. Coffee was brought to Vietnam in the 1850s by the French. Its bitter taste makes coffee not a favourite beverage in the country. Gradually, sugar and condensed milk were added, which made it a popular drink and a must-try when traveling to Vietnam.
