Detailed Itinerary

Drip filter coffee

It is a must-try street style coffee that you cannot miss. When you are out in the lanes of Vietnam. It is usually roasted in butter and then brewed in metal filters. Every filter has a different way to brew the coffee, mostly small filters are used so that it can fit into the coffee cup and some are huge enough to be carried on by many people. You might take away a few filters as souvenirs. You need to wait for a few minutes until your coffee gets brewed. However, the final taste is pleasurable enough to make the wait worthwhile. It is quite bitter hence, this black coffee is soft yet very hard.

However, if you want to sweeten your drink you can add some condensed milk or some ice. Instead of going into luxurious or fine dining restaurants you must take on the streets for a few of the best local Brews. You can walk up to Cafe Thai which serves you various kinds of dip filter coffee that dates back to 1920. There are many cafes on the pavement or the crossroads that you may locate and enjoy your perfect coffee.

Hot egg coffee

During the war, it was very hard to find milk and even harder to spend the acquired milk into the coffee. Hence the Hanoians craved something that can add cream to their coffee.  Egg yolks were the perfect alternative for a creamy scoop of coffee. Even after the war when Vietnam had enough milk and prosperity people couldn't forget the taste of hot egg coffee and this legacy was carried out. It is now one of the must-have coffee when you visit Vietnam on your vacation. It is famously taken into the winter months. The eggs provide a very rich brew and gently fold the froth with a spoon. You can stir it slowly and have your cup of hot creamy coffee. You will find the best egg coffee in Hanoi and the Cafe Giang is the original server of this coffee.

A refreshing coconut coffee

Vietnam experiences one of the bitter summers. You may feel dehydrated due to overheat when you explore Vietnam during summers. Hence on every few metres you will find coconut coffee. This is coconut coffee is more of scoopable ice cream instead of a liquid drinking coffee. This coconut coffee is one of the best things that you can have that keeps you full and cool on your exploration.

It is an upgrade of the most famous dip coffee  in which the vendors add coconut milk, condensed milk and ice. It is a fun tropical drink and the best coffee cocktail that you can have. This delicious coconut coffee can be tasted best at the cafe Cong Ca Phe.
