Bustling check-in at a series of red flag and yellow star cafes in Ho Chi Minh City

In addition to decorating the space, many coffee shops in Ho Chi Minh City also designed their own slogans and special drink menus to celebrate the April 30 holiday, attracting many young people to check-in.

At around 8am, a long line of customers patiently lined up in front of a coffee shop on Suong Nguyet Anh Street (District 1) waiting to buy a special edition cup of water, consisting of a bamboo tube with a slogan stamped on the body, a palm leaf handle and a small red flag with a yellow star. In recent days, this cup of water has become a "hot trend" on social networks, as the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification Day (April 30) is approaching.

Waiting for about 30 minutes, Bao Ngoc (far right, living in Binh Thanh district) and her group of friends held glasses of water that "looked very Vietnamese". She said: "We will go to the Independence Palace to visit and drink water, the feeling of joy is hard to describe. This is the time I 'follow the trend' that makes me feel the proudest".

Nguyen Huynh (29 years old), owner of Ong Coffee, shared that on the occasion of April 30 this year, the shop launched 3 special versions of cups, including messages such as "50 years of Southern Liberation", "Hoang Sa, Truong Sa belong to Vietnam" and "Vietnam - The Era of Rising", along with the image of bamboo - a tree symbolizing the immortal spirit, soldiers and the national flag. The shop hopes to convey the message of culture, love for the country and people of Vietnam through the cups.

About 700-800 cups are sold every day, up to 1,000 cups on weekends. Previously, the red flag cup with yellow star version on September 2 was also enthusiastically received by customers, but the "explosion" on April 30 still surprised him. In addition, he and his staff wear traditional ao dai every day.

A coffee shop on Thi Sach Street (District 1) also responded to April 30 by hanging many rows of red flags with yellow stars, printed with the slogan "Vietnamese Patriots", along with a picture of a conical hat on each cup of water.

According to Trang, Marketing representative of Ur Cup Cafe, in April, all branches of the shop will follow the concept of "Patriotic coffee, love peace, love the place where you were born and raised" to create an atmosphere for customers when coming to the shop. In the next 1-2 weeks, the shop will enhance the decoration, create more check-in corners and sell some special drinks on the occasion of April 30.

Similarly, a famous coffee shop on Dien Bien Phu Street (Binh Thanh District) also hung the red flag with a yellow star and a map of Vietnam on the wall. On this occasion, the shop opened a 30/4 menu with 4 dishes, including Vietnamese salted coffee, Vietnamese milk tea, Vietnamese cookies and Vietnamese spiral choco. The surface of the drink is decorated with the Vietnamese flag from cookie crumbs.

Traveling more than 30 km to the shop, Nhu Hue (living in Binh Duong ) wore an ao dai to check-in. She said she wanted to wear traditional clothes to celebrate April 30 and show her patriotism. "I feel excited when all the coffee shops are dyed red with the Vietnamese flag. This shop has a beautiful concept, the drinks are to my taste, and the decoration is also unique. On April 30, I might go to Ho Chi Minh City and visit some other shops," she said.

Arriving at the shop early, Kieu Linh (living in Thu Duc City) also believes that coffee shops are a factor that helps to add to the excitement of the great national day, especially when ordinary drinks are infused with the image of Vietnam. She added that she is really looking forward to April 30 to join in the atmosphere of the parade.

Nhat Tan (living in District 7) was also eager to "catch the trend" on April 30 with a cup of milk tea from the Chamee brand (Hoang Sa Street, District 1). He was most impressed by the color combination and design of the cup. "The cup has a red background, the yellow image resembles the Vietnamese flag. In particular, the Truong Sa and Hoang Sa archipelagos are printed boldly on the wave symbol, marking Vietnam's sovereignty . A few days before, I bought milk tea here to take pictures at the Independence Palace," Tan said.
