The Cafes You Mustn’t Miss In Hanoi If You’re A Fan Of Vietnamese Coffee

When in Vietnam, a daily dose of delicious Vietnamese coffee is a must. Locals and travelers enjoy caffeine several times a day, whether they want it hot or iced, black or sweet and milky, or even as unique concoctions with egg, coconut, and other fruity ingredients. Many coffee shops will give you traditional Vietnamese filtered coffee, but a range of third-wave coffee shops is elevating the coffee culture in Vietnam even further. The capital city Hanoi is a fantastic destination for café hopping, with a pleasant mix of heritage cafés and newer spots. Old Quarter’s Trieu Viet Vuong is even known as Coffee Street!

 

Giang Café

Set in the Old Quarter, Giang Café is famous for serving the first-ever egg coffee, a well-loved Hanoi specialty that’s been adopted all over Vietnam. The cozy coffee shop was founded by Nguyen Giang in 1946. To this day, it remains as charming as ever, with good music and a bustling crowd any time of the day. The café owners are also behind the equally beloved Café Dinh, a smaller and more intimate place that some people prefer over the buzzy Giang Café.

In the heart of the Old Quarter lies an old-and-worn French colonial manor that’s home to the Loading T Café.

Vintage furniture, cozy seats, and eye-catching patterned tiles create a charming environment for a book and a cup of coffee.

For an authentic coffee-drinking experience in the city, try Café Lam. Established in 1956, it’s one of the oldest cafés in Hanoi, with antique décor adding to the well-worn atmosphere of the coffee shop. Look through the framed artworks and rare books on display, then pick a small wooden table and pick a hot or iced Vietnamese coffee of your choice. Drinks are varied and reasonably priced. There are actually a couple of Café Lam branches in Hanoi, but the one on Nguyen Huu Huan is the flagship shop.
