Trung Nguyen Legend expands cafe chains in the U.S. and China

This event marks another vital step forward for Vietnam’s leading coffee group in its journey to conquer top markets like the U.S., China, Japan, South Korea, France, and other markets in Southeast Asia, Asia, Europe, and beyond, contributing to establishing Vietnam’s position as a global coffee powerhouse.

Trung Nguyen Legend is expanding its cafe network in the U.S. and China

After nearly a year since its first franchised cafe launched in the U.S., the Vietnamese coffee processor is now opening two new Trung Nguyen Legend coffee spaces in San Jose, California, on July 18 and July 25, 2024. These are the first shops of the Trung Nguyen Legend coffee space model and the fourth Trung Nguyen Legend cafe in the U.S.

The Trung Nguyen Legend coffee space shop at 909 Story Road, Unit 100, San Jose, attracts many coffee enthusiasts who come to experience the culture and enjoy Vietnamese and global coffee on the opening day.

Located at 909 Story Road, Unit 100, and 1631 East Capitol Expressway, Unit 107, in San Jose, areas renowned for their vibrant cultural, commercial, and trade activities, both Trung Nguyen Legend coffee spaces are well-positioned to attract a large number of American customers and international visitors.

Designed as a cultural and artistic coffee venue, Trung Nguyen Legend coffee space brings together the essence of three prominent coffee civilisations. It provides coffee lovers in the U.S. with a distinctive café experience infused with Vietnamese cultural elements and inspired by three world-class coffee civilisations: Ottoman – Roman – and Zen.

The first Trung Nguyen Legend coffee space in the U.S. continues offering exceptional energy-boosting coffee that combines the essence of three global coffee civilisations and unique and memorable experiences.

For the first time, coffee enthusiasts in the U.S. can explore an extensive range of coffee products, tools, and distinctive tasting styles inspired by the Ottoman, Roman, and Zen coffee civilisations. Notably, Zen Coffee, a groundbreaking cultural and artistic coffee product developed by Trung Nguyen Legend, is making its debut in the U.S., providing American coffee lovers with a new and unique experience.

Trung Nguyen Legend has continued to create a mark with its menu of traditional Vietnamese drip coffee, Vietnamese iced coffee, and innovative espresso-based drinks, such as Latte, Mocha, Cappuccino, and Americano, all crafted from 100% Robusta beans sourced from Buon Ma Thuot, Vietnam. In 2023, Eater Los Angeles, a prestigious culinary site in the U.S., published an article praising the Vietnamese-influenced coffee menu of Trung Nguyen Legend on the occasion of the opening of their first store in the US, saying: “Trung Nguyen Legend in the U.S. will serve phin, and espresso-based coffee drinks using 100-percent Vietnamese-grown Robusta and Arabica beans.”

Vietnamese iced milk coffee, "an attractive experience of Vietnamese coffee culture" (according to Discovery), is always a favourite with international customers at Trung Nguyen Legend cafes in the U.S. and China.

Alongside its expansion in the U.S. as the leading economic powerhouse, Trung Nguyen Legend has planned to open eight new locations in Shanghai, Suzhou, and Zhejiang in July 2024. This will bring the total number of Trung Nguyen Legend cafes in China to 18, concentrated in cities such as Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu, Dongxing, Suzhou, and Zhejiang.

In its nearly two years of presence in China, Trung Nguyen Legend cafes have left an indelible imprint of Vietnamese coffee culture and unique coffee experience styles on customers, quickly establishing themselves as popular destinations in China. In the documentary film “The Tao of Coffee,” Discovery observed that Trung Nguyen Legend’s presentation of the three coffee civilisations - Ottoman, Roman, and Zen - at its Coffee World location in Shanghai has progressively “elevated into a deeply historical experience” captivating local coffee enthusiasts.

International customers are thrilled to explore the unique coffee experiences inspired by the three global civilisations and infused with Vietnamese coffee culture at Trung Nguyên Legend coffee space in Nanjing, Shanghai, China.

Receiving a warm welcome and significant support from international customers, Trung Nguyen Legend is now working towards establishing nearly 130 cafes in China in 2024, marking the beginning of a long-term plan to open 1,000 cafes in the market. Additionally, in September 2024, Trung Nguyen Legend will expand its cafe model to Australia and Canada while continuing its efforts to open 100 more sites in the U.S. and Japan, South Korea, France, Southeast Asia, Asia, Europe, and other regions.

Miss Grand International Thuy Tien shares her admiration for the Trung Nguyen E-Coffee model and strongly desires to promote it worldwide in CNN’s article “The Tao of Coffee: From Beans to Beauty.”

In particular, the successful coffee startup model Trung Nguyen E-Coffee, described by CNN as a franchising model that inspires successful entrepreneurship in the community and a representation of the group’s strategic vision to elevate the enjoyment of Vietnamese coffee culture, is being vigorously promoted by Trung Nguyen Legend both in Vietnam and internationally. Trung Nguyen E-Coffee has operated nearly 800 stores across Vietnam and in foreign markets, such as the U.S. and Iceland, with over 1,000 franchise agreements successfully signed.
