Venture through Hanoi, a Coffee Capital

Hanoi is one of the coffee capitals of Vietnam and is famous for its traditional Vietnamese iced coffee (Cà phê sữa đá). This delightful drink consists of strong, dark-roasted coffee served over ice, sweetened with condensed milk. Hanoi is dotted with numerous coffee shops and street vendors where locals and visitors alike can savor this iconic beverage.

Explore More Varieties in Ho Chi Minh City

In Ho Chi Minh City, you'll find a vibrant coffee scene with a variety of options, from traditional Vietnamese iced coffee to trendy and creative coffee concoctions. One popular coffee style is Egg Coffee (Cà phê trứng), a unique blend of robusta coffee topped with a creamy, frothy mixture of egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, and sugar.

Feel the Winds of Dalat

Known as the "City of Eternal Spring," Dalat is a coffee-producing region with a milder climate. Here, you can enjoy Arabica coffee, which is grown in the surrounding highlands. Dalat's coffee culture is more laid-back, with cozy cafes offering picturesque views of the stunning landscapes.
