Freshly launched on 15th March 2022 near Nguyễn Thị Minh Khai Street, near many cafes and restaurants, Chocoline Cafe is recognizable for its modest size and all-white minimalist design. As a chocolate cafe, Chocoline offers you a menu full of drinks made from or decorated with this ingredient.

If you want to stick to its more common drinks, a choco latte or a choco shake will be a good choice for you. In case you would like to try drinks made with its signature chocolate, don’t forget to call for a choco cinnamon blend with nama chocolate, a mocha with nama chocolate, or a choco affogato.

At Chocoline, you can enjoy the original fresh chocolate, or nama chocolate to be exact. With the fresh chocolate coated in top-notch cacao, the fresh nama chocolate has a mild taste, a soft pattern, and a memorable scent that wins over the heart of many chocolate lovers.

Entering the cafe, you will catch sight of nama chocolate exhibited on the glass shelves. You can ask the staff for some free samples. If you want more, you can order some drinks featuring this fresh chocolate or order a separate plate to enjoy.

Apart from enjoying tasty drinks made with high-quality chocolate, you can also find many beautiful chocolate gift boxes. For your fresh chocolate orders, there are two sizes of boxes available: 6-cube boxes and 20-cube boxes. All of them are carefully packaged to preserve authentic tastes. The prices of nama chocolate are VND99,000 (~USD4.33) for a small box and VND245,000 (~USD10.73) for a big box.


The owner of this cafe has spent 20 years researching chocolate

Chocoline Cafe is the flagship store of the brand of the same name. The man behind this fascinating cafe is a South Korean man named Young. Having been to many countries around the world, Young came to Vietnam to study the cocoa trees in the country. The more he studied, the more he realized the potential of cocoa and chocolate production in Vietnam. In fact, growing in an ideal climate, Vietnamese cocoa nuts are considered among the world-top notch ones. Altogether, he has spent 20 years in Vietnam pursuing this goal.

In order to produce chocolate en masse, Young and Nguyễn Văn Hoan, his Vietnamese partner, opened a chocolate factory named Ecomy together with the brand Chocoline in May 2020. The factory is located in District 12. Currently, Young’s Chocoline brand is distinctive for its fresh chocolate products with 5 different flavors: Dark, Milk, Coffee, Baileys, and Green Tea. Of course, the drinks at Chocoline Cafe also use high-quality fresh chocolate from this factory.


Chocoline Cafe – a fascinating spot for choco-lovers


Chocoline Cafe is a new get-together spot for chocolate lovers in Saigon. Moreover, the cafe is also attractive thanks to a menu focusing on chocolate drinks made from quality ingredients. In particular, their fresh nama chocolate is worth a try.
