Giảng Cafe (Nguyễn Hữu Huân)
2 savesRecommendation by Lemi
Make your way to the city’s Old Quarter to experience Giảng Cafe's famous Egg Coffee! It all started in the 1940s when founder Nguyen Giang replaced milk with egg yolks—hence this wonderful creation. Sip on a cuppa and you’ll notice the difference its thick, eggy froth makes. They even serve it in a bowl of hot water to keep it warm at all times. This humble cafe is hidden away in Nguyễn Hữu Huân Street, so keep an eye out for its sign and narrow walkway. Once you find it, prepare to get an intense caffeine fix, the Hanoi way!

Mr. Nguyen Giang, founder of this eponymous café, wanted to bring cappuccinos to locals but encountered one problem: fresh milk was scarce in the late 1940s. In a jiffy, he whipped egg yolks as a substitute and the rest is history! Egg coffee (cà phê trứng) has become a popular drink around town but there’s nothing quite like the original; Mr. Giang really got a lock on the perfect egg to coffee ratio. Savor the liquid tiramisu-like concoction as the creamy froth wonderfully offsets the bite of Robusta. Look out for the narrow alley under a small sign on Nguyễn Hữu Huân Street to come across the shop entrance.
