The best egg coffee shops in Hanoi

Giang Café

When it comes to egg coffee in Hanoi, the first name that is often mentioned is Giảng Café. This place attracts a large number of foreign tourists and has been featured in the press and on television multiple times because it is where the first egg coffee was created, offering the original flavor for those who try egg coffee for the first time.

If you want to try the traditional taste of Hanoi’s egg coffee, Giảng Café is an excellent destination. However, if you want to explore different flavors of coffee such as salted coffee, decaf coffee, cold brew, or various types of tea, smoothies, pastries, etc., there are also many other coffee shops to choose from on Nguyen Huu Huan street.

Branch 1: 39 Nguyen Huu Huan Street, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi.
Branch 2: 106 Yen Phu Street, Ba Dinh District, Hanoi.
Opening hours: 07:00 – 22:30

Neo Cafe

What makes the egg coffee at Neo Cafe special and captivating for customers is that it is served “fresh.” Instead of making a batch of egg cream and using it gradually, the egg cream at Neo Cafe is made each time a customer orders it. However, you don’t have to wait long because the baristas here are very quick and professional, and it only takes about 5-10 minutes for you to have a delicious and creamy cup of egg coffee at a price of only 35,000 VND (equivalent to 1.5 USD).

One special feature of Cafe Đinh is the decoration on top of the egg cream layer, which includes flowers, turtle sculptures, and images of Hanoi’s old quarter. This makes the egg coffee at Đinh Café more unique compared to other places, attracting many young people and those interested in learning about Vietnamese culture in general and Hanoi’s culture in particular.
