Egg coffee is a famous drink in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. Many coffee shops sell this kind of coffee, but not all are good. Here are the best shops to taste its original flavor.
1. Giang Café – The Top Egg Coffee Shop in Hanoi
Giang café is well-known for its original egg coffee and egg cocoa, which are very tasty. The thick layer of eggs in Giang is always impressive for someone who enjoys egg cream.
Ice egg coffee with chocolate is another famous cup. It is medium fat, sweet, and has a strange aroma. This cup is generally suitable for people who like a sweet taste and are less bitter but still love the coffee flavor.
Many tourists travel to Hanoi and come here to taste the unique flavor. The shop is quite crowded, but the coffee comes up quickly. Besides the local people, many foreign visitors with all kinds of languages also come to this place. Sometimes, it’s too crowded, so this café is not for relaxing, but it is a place to taste the local dink in Hanoi.
This egg cafe is located in a small alley, and the front face of the shop is small. So, please notice it when coming here to avoid going past it. The shop has two floors and is clean, and many guests like to sit on the sidewalk.

2. Dinh Cafe
Dinh coffee was established much later than Giang coffee, but it is famous for its egg coffee drink, which has a strong flavor. The sitting area is on the second floor of an old house tinged with time, a nostalgic space with Trinh’s melodious music.
The owner of Dinh café is Mrs. Bich, Giang’s daughter. Therefore, the egg coffee flavor here retains Giang’s features. The cup is not placed in a bowl of hot water like in Giang, but only a tiny cup. In addition to egg coffee, Dinh also attracts customers by offering cacao egg coffee.
A plus point for Dinh Café is that the restaurant has a balcony, from the balcony overlooking Hoan Kiem Lake. It is romantic to sip a cup of coffee in the afternoon and watch the surrounding scenery. However, the seats by the balcony are limited. If you are lucky, you can get it when it’s empty.
The egg cafe here is not sweet, but the decoration is beautiful! The egg layer is delicious, but the coffee is a bit bitter! If you do not like the bitter taste of coffee, you may order cacao egg cups.

3. Old Quarter Coffee 11 Hang Gai (Ca Phe Pho Co)
Egg coffee at the Old Quarter Cafe appeared later than Giang and Dinh’s shop, but many tourists chose to stop at this place. They love the taste of the egg coffee cup here and are also impressed by the nostalgic, quiet atmosphere of the restaurant.
The Old Quarter Coffee shop (Ca Phe Pho Co) is also tiny. The egg coffee of this shop is the perfect combination of coffee’s bitterness, milk’s sweet aroma, and chicken eggs’ greasy taste without being fishy.
Café’s Old Quarter also attracts Vietnamese guests and the love of international visitors.

The old house, with its typical yellow balcony paint, is tinged with moss. Its brick wall looks rustic.
Four to six sets of tables and chairs arranged around a small area create a warm, friendly atmosphere. Although the space is not ample, sitting and tasting a cup of egg coffee with a nice cinnamon-scented egg cream is still comfortable.
Besides, you can order other drinks; coconut milk coffee is another choice.
