Kim Nguyen Viet Hang, also 20, shared a similar sentiment. She is a regular customer of the brand but often found it challenging to visit due to her part-time work schedule. The early opening hours provided a novel and convenient experience for her.
University students Hoang Yen Nhu, 22, and Nguyen The Hien also shared their experiences. Nhu woke up at 2:00 a.m. to prepare for her early morning coffee outing, intrigued by the cafe’s unconventional operating hours. Hien, on the other hand, couldn’t sleep and decided to invite friends to join him for coffee, finding it surprising to see so many early risers.
