1 Ca Phao Coffee Shop officially launched in Thao Dien
During three days from February 6 to 8, 2026, Dam Vinh Hung organized the opening of Ca Phao Coffee Shop in Thao Dien area, An Khanh ward, Ho Chi Minh City. This is not only a simple coffee shop but also a regular living space for the male singer after he sold the 500 m2 villa at the end of December 2025.
According to shares, he invested a large amount of money in renting space, renovating and designing the interior and exterior according to his personal aesthetic taste. Every detail is carefully cared for to create a space with a unique impression. On the first day, more than 200 artists and fans were present to celebrate. The sudden influx of customers caused Ca Phao Coffee Shop to almost “fail”.

2 Indochine space is nostalgic, spacious and airy
The most prominent feature of Ca Phao Coffee Shop is the Indochine design style. The space is reminiscent of old beauty but still retains sophistication and modernity.
From the outside, the restaurant feels warm and close. Inside, the layout creates airiness. Lighting, colors and decorations were all chosen to bring a sense of nostalgia.

Model Ngoc Trinh, when attending the opening, shared her impression of the spaciousness and peace of the shop. This is the right place for those who love a gentle space, away from the noise often found in modern cafes.
Ca Phao Coffee Shop’s space does not follow minimalist or industrial trends. Instead, the shop chose its own direction, focusing on emotional experiences. The biggest plus point of Ca Phao Coffee Shop lies in the space layout. The shop is divided into several clear areas:
– Indoor sitting area with wooden tables, chairs, and antique items creates a warm feeling
– Quiet mezzanine, suitable for reading or working
– Outdoor garden receives natural wind and sunlight
Thanks to that, customers have many options depending on their needs. In the morning you can sit outside in the yard to enjoy the fresh air. In the evening, the mezzanine becomes a private corner for light conversations.
Many customers appreciate the shop’s diligence in collecting old utensils. Every small detail such as wooden cabinets, door frames, and decorations all contribute to creating a unified whole. For those who love the taste of old Saigon, Ca Phao Coffee Shop brings a feeling of both familiarity and strangeness. This is also a place chosen by many young people to take photos during holidays and Tet.

3 Interesting information about the restaurant
3.1 The opening day “failed” because there were too many customers
On the first day of opening, Ca Phao Coffee Shop recorded a number of customers far exceeding the plan. The long line of people waiting to enter the restaurant prevented the service team from preparing enough products.
Faced with this situation, the restaurant quickly posted a notice apologizing for the delay. Dam Vinh Hung also decided to add more performances to respond to the audience’s love.
During the opening days, he was directly present at the restaurant to welcome guests, take souvenir photos, organize lucky draws and sing for service every day. This helps Ca Phao Coffee Shop not only become a coffee shop but also become an exchange point between artists and fans.
The initial overload showed the strong attraction of Dam Vinh Hung’s personal brand as well as the curiosity for this new space.

3.2 Ca Phao Coffee Shop and the story behind it
After selling the 500 m2 villa at the end of 2025, Dam Vinh Hung chose Ca Phao Coffee Shop as his regular living space. This helps the shop take on a more personal meaning.
Not only is it a place of business, the shop is also a place to meet, exchange and express the lifestyle of the male singer. The appearance of more than 200 artists on the opening day proves his influence in the entertainment world.

The combination of drinks and cakes helps guests sit for a long time, chat and enjoy the space. Although the opening day was overcrowded, the restaurant quickly adjusted to ensure service quality in the following days.

Points for improvement
