JPTips to find the best egg coffee in Hanoi
If you are so familiar with Vietnamese white coffee, cappuccino, espresso, or any famous coffee in the world, I recommend a cup of Hanoian egg coffee for the weekend!
I’m sure that almost everyone at Sun* has tried coffee once. Some drink coffee to be more awake. Some enjoy coffee in a way that I call “ecstatic”, drinking and chilling at the same time to enjoy the amazing taste of this coffee. Meanwhile, some are addicted to coffee and overuse it. May I not mention them in this post.
When going to coffee to relax on weekends, my friends often choose well-known coffee, such as white coffee, cold-brew, cappuccino, or espresso, but I choose a pure Vietnamese coffee which I think tastes a little better, it's Egg Coffee!
Now, many people may find a bit weird to combine the bitter taste of coffee with the fishy taste of eggs. I also felt that way until I was first enlightened with egg coffee last winter. It’s completely a difference!
It is not difficult to make an egg coffee at home because the main ingredients are just eggs, sugar, milk, honey and coffee. The difference between each cup of egg coffee is the secret recipe of each person.
Egg coffee with a characteristic opaque yellow color is served in a small cup. When you drink, instead of drinking immediately, use a spoon to whip egg cream on top, mix with the coffee layer below and then enjoy.
The top layer of egg cream is mixed with condensed milk and sugar to create a certain sweetness. The roasted coffee layer is under the egg cream. If you don’t mix them, you can’t get the right taste. So when drinking egg coffee, mix it all up to feel the best taste!
Egg coffee is normally enjoyed when it is still warm to avoid the fishy taste of the egg when the coffee is cold. So make sure you get a hot egg coffee or an egg coffee placed in a bowl of hot water.
Người đời có câu: "Trăm hay không bằng một thấy, trăm thấy không bằng một thử". Nếu tôi chỉ mô tả thì sẽ thực sự khó cho bạn cảm nhận được hương vị đậm đà đặc sắc của cà phê trứng.

This is the first place that brings me to the world of egg coffee in Hanoi. Previously, I did not love or hate coffee because coffee causes insomnia and is bad for health. But, just after one time my friend invited my friend to Giang and tried the famous egg coffee here, I fell in love with this unique drink.
The shop is located in a small alley. It is a bit difficult to find but if you come to Nguyen Huu Huan Street (Hoan Kiem, Hanoi) and ask Giang Cafe, everyone will know. The shop has two kinds of egg coffee: hot egg coffee and ice egg coffee. With its special recipe, egg coffee in Giang does not leave the fishy taste of eggs, but the rich, sweet taste and good smell instead.
As a sweet tooth, I find Giang egg coffee sweeter and the coffee less bitter. However, if you really are a coffee lover, don’t miss Giang Cafe!
When I first drank Giang Cafe, it was the winter of 2019 - the perfect time to enjoy a cup of warm egg coffee. It was then that my love for egg coffee has awakened. As far as I know, egg coffee here is one of the best quality and the first place to make egg coffee in Ha Noi.
So far, in addition to the original taste, the shop has also added many other flavors such as green bean egg coffee, matcha, cacao, beer,.... for us to freely experience at the weekend!
Although Giang Cafe is the place where my love for egg coffee started, Yen Cafe is really "true love" in my heart and the only place I belong to when I want to have a cup of delicious egg coffee.
After getting hooked on egg coffee at Giang, I became interested in "searching" for more egg coffee shops in Hanoi. And incidentally, a close sister in my company took me to YênCafe at 184 Quan Thanh. More surprisingly, I felt for the egg coffee here right at the first sip. You may not believe it, at first I didn’t either, but it was completely true.
To me, Yen's egg coffee tastes amazingly good. I remember the feeling of a sunny and light breeze morning, I came to Yen with my colleague to sip a cup of warm and sweet, soft, and supple egg coffee mixed with the typical Dalat Aribica coffee flavor, feeling like awake all day.
The special feature that makes me fall in love with Yên egg coffee is the balance of the sweetness of egg cream and the bitterness of Aribica Dalat cafe, so people who have a good taste of the coffee will definitely like it.
To get a cup of warm egg coffee at Yen cafe, you may have to wait about 10-15 minutes. To me, however, it's not a big deal as I can enjoy my favorite drink.
Holding a cup of egg coffee in your hand, you will immediately see the thick creamy egg cream on the top, both floating and smooth. Give that egg cream a little try before whipping everything up. That's how I enjoy my favorite coffee.

When the egg cream layer is mixed with the coffee below, you will see the coffee changes to a darker brown instead of the original yellow, the egg coffee will then be looser but still retain the texture. However, don’t stir too many times to avoid making egg coffee liquid and cool.
Enjoying small sips one by one, the bitterness and sweetness of egg coffee spread all over my tongue, making me "shudder". It is because the strange and delicious flavor is different from the egg coffee I've ever drunk. "It's amazing" - that's what I thought!
Coming to Yên Cafe, ordering a cup of egg coffee, you will be served a cup of light but aromatic roasted coffee free to wake up the smell of coffee in your mouth. In my opinion, it is a fine way of the shop to keep the love of customers for the shop and for the egg coffee, including me.
If you have free time on the weekend, come and chill out at Yên Cafe!
Wandering the West Lake side, I recently discovered a new excellent egg coffee in Hanoi. It may far place for many people, including me, but Ta Cafe is also a great place to spend the weekend!
Step into a spacious space with lots of trees, we can hardly resist the cool chilling vibes, especially in the current hot weather in Hanoi. Closing my eyes to feel the good smell of fresh coffee, Ta Coffee reminds me of my familiar spot, Yên Cafe.
Take a look at the menu of the fancy coffee menu, I immediately choose an egg coffee of VND45,000. Egg coffee in Ta is beautifully decorated with a glass, a plate and a spoon for everyone to enjoy.
Still an egg cream layer on top and the coffee layer hidden underneath, Ta especially adds a little cocoa powder on the surface of the egg cream layer to make the egg coffee more attractive.
With my own egg coffee drinking tips, which is to take a sip of the egg cream first and then whip them to mix all the ingredients together, I slowly enjoy a cup of warm egg coffee in Ta.
In addition to the typical smell of egg coffee, Ta's own recipe makes the egg coffee cup here somewhat sweeter than egg coffee in Yen. That sweetness reminds me of the original egg coffee in Giang. If you taste carefully, you can still find the light coconut flavor blended with the milky taste of egg coffee.
Holding a full egg coffee cup in your hand, like chilling out at the weekend with your best friends, in my opinion, don't drink it quickly, but slowly enjoy the taste of egg coffee flavor remain and spread in your esophagus.
When it comes to egg coffee, Giang, Yen and Ta are 3 best egg coffee shops that I have personally experienced. In addition, if Sunners want to look for more good egg coffee shops, you can check out BlackBird Coffee (No. 5 Chân Cầm), Nyna Coffee (No. 25 Trung Yên), Loading T café (No. 8 Chân Cầm), Lela Cafe (No. 128 Hàng Trống), Đinh Coffee (No. 13 Đinh Tiên Hoàng), Egg Lane Restaurant Only (Number 5 Hàng Chỉ), .....
Wishing you the best experiences with egg coffee!
