Why worth it

  • Widely credited as the birthplace of Vietnamese egg coffee, invented here in 1946 during a wartime milk shortage
  • Founder Nguyen Van Giang whisked egg yolk and sugar into coffee as a cream substitute — the recipe is unchanged today
  • Tucked down a narrow alley that is easy to walk past if you dont know to look for it
  • Still run by the founders son — his daughter runs the equally well-regarded Cafe Dinh nearby

Been to Giang Cafe many times and honestly, it’s still worth the hype. I personally love their authentic Cà Phê Sữa Đá more than the Egg Coffee. For me, the iced coffee is best paired with Bánh Mì. I always end up ordering both the Cà Phê Sữa Đá and Egg Coffee anyway! Lol I also love the ambiance. It feels like a traditional Vietnamese home turned into a cozy coffee house, which gives it so much character. They have another branch at Trang Tien Plaza, but that one feels more like a modern café. Come early in the morning or around brunch time if you want a better chance of choosing a nice seat, especially on the veranda or in the AC room. Definitely a Hanoi classic worth experiencing.

We visited this cafe to try Hanoi’s famous egg coffee. The place was small from the outside but full with the customers in every corner. Even though there are many customers, the service was good, and our order was served quickly. We ordered the original iced egg coffee, along with the cocoa and mung bean versions. The egg foam was good and creamy without any fishy taste. Definitely worth trying and highly recommended!

I tried the famous egg coffee, and it was absolutely amazing! The coffee was rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced with a smooth, velvety egg foam on top. It had a unique flavor unlike any coffee I’ve had before. The atmosphere was cozy, the staff were friendly, and the service was excellent. If you’re visiting Hanoi, this is definitely a must-try experience. Highly recommended! ☕🥚🇻🇳

Tucked away with a cozy, old-world charm, this little café feels like stepping into a slice of local tradition. The space is intimate, with low stools, tiled floors, and walls decorated with vintage photos that give it a nostalgic, lived-in atmosphere. It’s clearly a spot loved by both locals and curious travelers, creating a warm, lively vibe. The highlight for me was the egg coffee—rich, creamy, and surprisingly smooth. The thick, velvety egg foam on top blends beautifully with the strong coffee beneath, creating a dessert-like drink that’s both comforting and unique. It’s a must-try if you’re visiting for the first time. Service felt genuine and unpretentious, adding to the overall charm. It’s not fancy, but that’s exactly the appeal—authentic, relaxed, and full of character. A great place to slow down, soak in the atmosphere, and enjoy a truly local coffee experience.

During my visit to Hanoi, one of the most memorable experiences was trying Vietnamese coffee at Cafe Giang. I had heard a lot about Vietnamese coffee before, but tasting it here completely exceeded my expectations. The coffee was rich, bold, and full of flavor—something truly unique compared to any coffee I’ve had before. And especially for Egg coffee I was quite spectacle, but it’s a MUST TRY. Cafe Giang is famous for its legendary egg coffee, and now I understand why. The creamy, velvety egg foam combined perfectly with the strong Vietnamese coffee, creating a drink that felt more like a dessert than a regular cup of coffee. Every sip was smooth, indulgent, and unforgettable. Beyond the coffee itself, the atmosphere was authentic and welcoming, giving me a glimpse into Hanoi’s rich coffee culture. It’s amazing to think that this is the birthplace of egg coffee, and you can feel the history and tradition in every cup they serve. If you’re visiting Hanoi, Cafe Giang is an absolute must-visit. For me, it wasn’t just about having a coffee—it was about experiencing a part of Vietnam’s culture coffee and sunflower seeds Without a doubt, one of the best coffee experiences I’ve ever had.
