Egg coffee is served in numerous cafe spots in Vietnam in general and Hanoi in particular. It has been a staple of any cafe’s menu since the 1950s.

Important message from the supplier
Vietnam is generally relaxed with dress codes. Casual and modern clothing is common in cities but dressing modestly in temples and rural areas is important. Temples and Pagodas: Modesty is key. You should cover your shoulders and knees when visiting religious sites. Avoid wearing revealing clothing like tank tops, short skirts, or shorts. Rural Areas: It’s advisable to dress more conservatively. Wearing long pants and covering your shoulders is a sign of respect for local customs. However, conservative dress is still appreciated, particularly when visiting offices or formal events.
