The Vietnamese milk tea market is highly competitive, characterized by diverse products and brands. For many, milk tea serves as a symbol of social connection, making it crucial for brands to align their offerings with local preferences and cultural values.
ToCoToCo’s Cheese Boba Milk Tea has captured significant attention due to its unique flavor. The product features boba pearls made with Laughing Cow Cheese, offering a balance of textures and tastes that resonate with Vietnamese consumers.
Gael Courcoux, General Director of Bel Vietnam Co., Ltd., praised ToCoToCo’s innovation and dedication to quality after visiting its stores. “ToCoToCo consistently innovates with new product launches every 2-3 months while maintaining strict production standards. This partnership reflects shared values and a commitment to excellence,” Courcoux said.
Since opening its first store in Hanoi in 2013, ToCoToCo has expanded to nearly 1,000 locations across 56 provinces and cities in Vietnam. The brand’s ability to maintain consistent quality and competitive pricing is supported by its end-to-end supply chain, which mitigates the impact of price volatility in imported raw materials.
The collaboration with Laughing Cow Cheese highlights ToCoToCo’s focus on crafting distinctly Vietnamese products while leveraging global expertise. This partnership not only delivers a unique beverage experience but also strengthens both brands’ positions in the market.

ToCoToCo sells 36 million cups of milk tea annually, showcasing the brand’s resilience in an increasingly competitive market. The launch of Cheese Boba Milk Tea, supported by targeted marketing campaigns, is expected to attract more consumers and boost sales.
The partnership with Laughing Cow Cheese has resulted in an exclusive product that reinforces ToCoToCo’s competitive position. By introducing a distinctive menu offering, the brand aims to diversify its portfolio, attract media attention, and enhance customer loyalty. Bel Vietnam, part of the France-based Bel Group, has over 100 years of expertise in producing processed cheese and is the exclusive distributor of Laughing Cow Cheese in Vietnam. The collaboration demonstrates a shared commitment to delivering high-quality products and driving sustainable growth in Vietnam’s milk tea market.
