Very good coffee in a small alley. We sat on the low local chair and enjoyed the coffee. Here they served coffee with some type of seeds. We were invited and we'd tried sunflower seeds and it's quite a good combination.

Have to say I am both surprised and confused as to why this cafe gets the attention it does. I have no problem with a place wanting to be acknowledged as ‘the first’ in anything but I do have a problem when the place is...filthy and dirty. My wife and I went there a few days ago at about 8pm. Went upstairs and was told a couple of chairs available on the balcony.... but as we made our way to our seats there was trays of used plate/cups/cutlery on tables and rubbish all over the floor. Disgusting. We paid a lot of money to visit Vietnam and have to say we couldn’t have enjoyed it more...a great place to holiday. But I value my money to much to spend it at a place where there is no pride in its cleanliness. We still got a great egg coffee at the cafe next door. Great service and great coffee only 20 metres .....who cares who was first.More

I’m happy we came to this iconic establishment and tried their egg coffee and egg coco. The egg coffee was very sugary, creamy, it’s nice but not my thing. The egg coco is their second top seller and it was wayyyyyy too eggy. Like it...tasted like eating raw eggs. Was not a fan. Honestly I’ve had egg coffees at other places and they are tasty, this location is just super iconic because it’s the OG. Bring cash. Bring some tissues and tp. There is a restroom here but in Vietnam there aren’t always tp in the bathrooms.More

f you're a coffee lover, then Giang Cafe in Hanoi is an absolute must-visit. This small and unassuming cafe is famous for its signature drink - egg coffee - and it's not hard to see why. The egg coffee is made by whipping egg yolks...with sugar and coffee, creating a rich and creamy texture that is unlike any other coffee drink you've ever tasted. It's a deliciously decadent treat, perfect for a mid-morning pick-me-up or an after-dinner dessert.More

After hearing about the story of the first egg coffee creation, we had to come and pay this place a visit. It’s down a cute little alley and there’s plenty of seating inside. You can get an egg coffee for 35,000. Well worth a short...visit.More

Local style with a new taste of coffee. It's in a small alley and we sat on the small local chairs. The egg coffee was great but you should enjoy when it's hot.

This is my first time trying "Egg with coke" at Cafe Giang. It's bad, actually.These two flavors don't seem to go together. Egg coffee is good. But it isn't as good as egg coffee at Neo Cafe. The egg coffee there is so much tastier.

The egg coffee was very good. We would come back for more if we were in the area. The staff could smile once in a while. They are proficient but not friendly.

Tried the egg coffee both hot and on ice. In our opinion, over ice was much better. When hot it’s still quite sweet but the ice waters it down slightly. Authentic premises but you can tell this gets a lot of tourists. Nonetheless it should...definitely be a place to visit.More

My friends in Hanoi had recommended it. I had no chance to try more egg coffees somewhere else, but I definitely likes this one. Long list of egg coffees to choose from. Part of the experience is the place itself, you enter from a very...narrow corridor from the street, and you unexpectedly end up in a very busy multi floor environment, unusually decorated, with extremely small tables and chairs. A bit crazy, I loved it, definitely a must do in Hanoi. Slow service.More

An interesting taste, though it’s not for everyone I would say. There is a lot of selection and it’s probably up to you to guess what would suit ur taste… Our family chose different types, some felt it was great, the other felt it’s just...hyped up. Just enter the store, grab a seat, order from the menu and when the server served the drinks u will get a tag which u will use for payment later. Which was quite efficient I would say… drinks were delivered quite quickly, the place was not packed when we visited…More

I saw no "to go" service or cups. You sit and sip. Hey, you are in Hanoi. Sit, sip and relax a bit. 😁
