About Cafe Pho Co

Hidden behind a silk shop on Hang Gai Street, this five-storey cafe culminates in a rooftop terrace overlooking Hoan Kiem Lake - arguably the best view in the city. The egg coffee is exceptional and the journey through silk-draped corridors is half the charm.

Giang Cafe - Egg Coffee

The original home of ca phe trung - Hanoi's legendary egg coffee. Created in 1946 when milk was scarce, Nguyen Giang whipped egg yolk with sugar and robusta coffee into a frothy, custard-like drink that's now a Hanoi icon. Tiny, crammed, and utterly unmissable.

☕

The Note Coffee

Every surface of this whimsical Old Quarter cafe is covered in sticky notes left by travelers from around the world. The coffee is solid and the iced ca phe sua da is excellent. People come for the atmosphere - and to add their own note to the thousands already there.

☕

Tranquil Books & Coffee

A rare quiet oasis in noisy Hanoi - a multi-level book cafe with hundreds of English and Vietnamese titles to browse while sipping great flat whites. Popular with digital nomads and expats, with decent wifi and cozy reading corners on every floor.
