Vietnam is the world's second-largest coffee producer, and Hanoi is where that heritage meets a vibrant café culture. The city's signature ca phe sua da (iced coffee with condensed milk) is legendary, and egg coffee (ca phe trung) — espresso topped with whipped egg yolk — was invented here. Tiny plastic stools on the pavement, slow drip through a phin filter, and the aroma of robusta define the Hanoi coffee experience.

Egg coffee (ca phe trung) was invented in 1946 at Cafe Giang in Hanoi's Old Quarter when fresh milk was scarce — the owner whipped egg yolk with condensed milk as a substitute, creating a Hanoian icon.
