Egg coffee: from creative drink to Hanoi culinary icon
According to numerous documents and handed down memories, egg coffee appeared at the beginning of the 20th century, in a period of difficult economic conditions. Combining Vietnamese coffee with freshly beaten eggs was initially intended to create a richer substitute for milk, but this creativity opened a new direction for Hanoi’s coffee culture.

Little by little, coffee with eggs stopped being a common drink and became a culinary symbol. People in Hanoi don’t like egg coffee in a hurry, but consider it a quiet time of the day, a place where they can sit, chat and experience the taste in their own way.
Today, egg coffee is frequently mentioned in travel guides and international forums as a “must-try specialty” when coming to Hanoi. The initial curiosity about this seemingly strange combination was quickly replaced by the impression of a harmonious taste, rich but not oily, unlike that of many familiar coffees around the world.
