The first days of April come, bringing with them a bustling and exciting atmosphere, the whole country seems to join in a joyful beat, towards a meaningful historical milestone - the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification (April 30, 1975 - April 30, 2025). This sacred commemorative spirit is not only solemnly present through large-scale festival programs, exhibitions recreating heroic history or official activities bearing a strong national imprint, but also deeply and clearly spread in every breath of daily life, permeating the life of every Vietnamese person.
On all roads and street corners, from the bustling streets of prosperous urban areas to the peaceful alleys in the countryside, a new and enthusiastic "wave of patriotism" is rising strongly. Many coffee shops, cultural spaces familiar and close to the lives of people across the country, have proactively and creatively redesigned their spaces, renewed their menus and decorated their products with the sacred national flag, meaningful commemorative slogans, or unique traditional cultural symbols of the nation.
Nowadays, coffee shops are no longer simply places to enjoy delicious drinks or chat with friends, but have become ideal destinations, special cultural spaces for young people to "check-in", record memorable moments and spread deep pride in the history and culture of the nation. The image of the proud red flag with yellow star added on lovely coffee cups is really creating a "storm" on social networking sites, carrying fluttering pride, connecting the hearts of millions of Vietnamese people, together looking forward to a great historical holiday with gratitude and faith in a bright future of the country.
In Ho Chi Minh City, on the bustling Suong Nguyet Anh street in District 1, a coffee shop has quickly become the center of attention and created a "fever" among young people because of its unique creativity in designing bamboo cups. These rustic, natural cups not only have a simple beauty but also contain meaningful messages, evoking pride and awareness of sovereignty over islands such as "Hoang Sa - Truong Sa belongs to Vietnam", or expressing the country's strong aspiration to rise "Vietnam - The era of rising". The meticulousness and sophistication are also shown through the handle made from soft palm leaves, along with environmentally friendly straws crafted from sedge.

Many young people expressed their excitement and special impression when holding in their hands the glasses of water decorated in such a unique and meaningful way. They felt the closeness and friendliness from the natural materials, and at the same time appreciated the profound patriotic messages conveyed in a gentle but effective way.
In addition, on Thi Sach Street (District 1), another coffee shop also showed its enthusiastic response by decorating the space with countless rows of red flags with yellow stars, creating a brilliant and solemn scene. More specifically, the shop also cleverly printed on each cup of water served to customers the meaningful slogan "Vietnamese people love their country", along with the image of the traditional conical hat, symbolizing the gentle beauty and unique cultural identity of Vietnam.
The restaurant space is decorated brilliantly with the red color of the flag.
Ur Cup Cafe chain has shown a synchronization and consistency in spreading the spirit of patriotism. During this historic April, all branches of the shop are decorated according to a common, consistent concept: "Coffee that loves the country, loves peace, loves the place where you were born and raised". This concept not only creates a special and meaningful atmosphere for customers when visiting the shop, but also evokes in each person deep emotions about love for the homeland, country and the desire for peace.
In the heart of Hanoi capital, where traditional cultural values and modern lifestyle converge, Chini Coffee, located in Bac Tu Liem district, has created a special highlight, attracting the attention of many people and tourists by the creativity and deep meaning in the way it names its menu.

The restaurant's menu becomes more special than ever with simple but extremely meaningful names, evoking sacred emotions in the hearts of each person enjoying it. Taking a sip of tea, one can feel the taste of "Independence" - an achievement that many generations of our ancestors shed blood to regain. Enjoying a piece of cake, the taste of "Freedom" spreads on the tip of the tongue, reminding us of the peaceful and prosperous life we are enjoying. And finally, the aftertaste of "Happiness" lingers after each dish and drink as a tribute to the noble sacrifices, and at the same time, a belief in a bright and prosperous future for the nation.

Those simple, sincere names are not simply a way to name a product, but also a meaningful action, contributing to spreading patriotism, arousing pride in history and good values of the nation in the community.
Not only coffee shops with creativity and enthusiasm towards the national reunification day, but restaurants and eateries across the country have also quickly joined this meaningful trend, each unit bringing a unique and profound way of expressing the national spirit. Among them, OM Nuong emerged as a bright spot, leaving an impression in the hearts of diners with its delicate and thoughtful choice when expressing pride in the origin on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South (April 30).
Stepping into the rustic, cozy and familiar space of OM Nuong, diners cannot help but feel a harmonious blend of tradition and contemporary breath. In particular, the image of the five-color flag, a long-standing and rich cultural symbol of the nation, suddenly appears solemnly in each glass of cool drink served. In addition, folk drums, cultural items bearing the historical mark and martial spirit of the Vietnamese people, are cleverly placed next to the trays of food rich in the flavor of the homeland.
