About
Strong and flavourful Vietnamese coffee makes converts as quickly as it raises pulses. French colonists might have introduced coffee to Vietnam, but the morning cup of ca phe soon became a local habit. With variations that make use of yoghurt, eggs and even fruit, Vietnamese coffee has developed a style of its own.

And if you don’t believe it’s the Best coffee House In Hanoi just go there and look how packed it is with locals. We had (of course)the egg coffee which was best egg coffee we experienced in Vietnam. Your waiter comes to your table takes your order gives you a number you drink your coffee on the way out your hand the number to the cashier and they rang you up. Busy place, but quick service with a smile. Be on alert when you look for it as it is not easy to find being down a small alley on a very busy street. But Google maps will get you there! A must visit for any coffee lover!!

We went here on a recommendation from a local Hanoi resident, who told us this was the original egg coffee place.
Like many other cafes in the Hanoi Old Quarter, you are seated on small chairs and stools around small tables. The service is fast, despite the densely packed space and large customer volume.
The egg coffee did not disappoint. The egg froth on top tasted of creme brûlée and the coffee below was rich. We wanted to go back a second day, but they were closed for Tet holiday. Definitely get egg coffee here if you can.

Our guide brought us here after we mentioned egg coffee - apparently the first cafe to serve egg coffee in Hanoi. Walk down a tiny alley way (like so many good finds in Hanoi), up the stairs, and you enter a buzzing, cramped cafe full of locals and tourists alike. The coffee was delicious, super creamy and yummy - the best!

Headed over to Giang Café with most of the tour group I was on for an Egg Coffee. The place was packed, not much room to sit, drink and socialize. The egg coffee was really good for a fair price, but the furniture and sitting area are in need of upgrading.

This busy café is a must to visit while walking through Hanoi. A bit hidden but worth the search. The egg coffee here is just as good, but a fraction of the price to many other higher-end places nearby. Also had a hot chocolate option for my 9-year-old son. Note, very low & uncomfortable tables & chairs for a big guy like me, but that's part of the experience.

Cafe much bigger than you first think! We don't drink coffee but followed the online recommendations as you can also get whipped egg hot or cold with chocolate powder, with rum, with cinnamon etc. Drinks are 40 or 50k each. Definitely something I've never tried before and this place was mega busy with Vietnamese as well as tourists.

An excellent coffee place, especially upstairs! Sadly full of people but the coffee is amazing. The top of the coffee has a tasty cold cream and underneath is the hot coffee. The shop exists since 1946 - I really hope it keeps on going👍🏻👍🏻

Egg Coffee at Giang Cafe?
Yes please!
Giang Coffee is situated in the Old Quarter just behind La Siesta Hotel Hang Be. This was the very first place I headed for due to its history and also its unique concoction.
I tried both the hot and iced coffee and it was delicious!
The inventor was working for the metropole and starting making Egg Coffee due to the price of milk in the early years. He happened on this whipped egg concoction that is now one of the most iconic coffees in Hanoi.
This is one of those places you must try if you are ever in Hanoi.

Kind of had to be done while in Hanoi, and it is the home of egg coffee after all. We went in on a sat evening and no surprise it was very busy! They tried to get us to sit downstairs by the kitchen which really looked depressing which no atmosphere so we insisted on going upstairs and trying out luck to find a table which we easily managed. The menu is very reasonable and a good variety of egg coffee, I enjoyed a hot oreo egg coffee which was tasty. I would however sat that the place was a little underwhelming based off its history but the egg coffee was good which I guess is all that mattered

Lots of egg related drinks are on offer here, unfortunately I don't think its for me but my boyfriend said it was okay and I've heard lots of people love it, nevertheless this didn't change our experience as you can't really retract anything from a review based on personal taste!
It's very hard to find but very cute when you do find it and enter. Probably somewhere you should go to try out the "iconic" egg coffee. Service was great until we got down the bottom till to pay then the staff were a little grumpy

Cafe Giang is one of the oldest know for its Egg Coffee. Yes you heard it right, you have Cafe latte with Egg and also the one I ordered and tasted like heaven hot chocolate with Egg. It’s has 2 levels of sitting and it’s like crowded. I can understand why, during weekdays you have locals visiting for a quick pit stop before heading for work. If in Hanoi this is the place which is not be missed

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.

This is the creator of the first egg coffee, but I don’t feel it lives up to its reputation. Giang Cafe’s egg coffee was bland and the cream was fishy. Overall it was not as good as the rumors, I like the egg coffee in NeoCafe nearby more.

Lesson learnt- not to get get caught up with the YouTuber and instagram posts.
Staff were really nice and only reason why I couldn’t give it a 1.
It’s an OLD building, narrow and dark and pretty dirty. Honestly, cannot understand the reason for the hype.
2 egg coffees came suspiciously quickly and nothing more than egg and cream ? Incredibly unpleasant taste exactly like raw egg and put me off ordering this for the rest of the trip.
It was the original place to serve egg coffee apparently but personally, found it quite unpleasant and struggled to finish it. It was the combination of the dirty seating area, dust and tiny tables and chairs etc and the taste made it unpleasant.

Tried the classic egg coffee tonight and it was amazing.
Love the sweet creamy texture of the egg foam which didn't have any scent of raw eggs. The coffee was very robust and aromatic. Prices range from VND30,000 and up. They also have other non-caffeinated drinks with egg..e.g. egg chocolate, egg beer, egg rum etc. I will definitely come back here again to try the egg beer.
Ambience wise, this place is a whole lot more cosier than Dinh's. A must try before you leave Hanoi.
