Dinh Coffee

Inside Dinh coffee is a small ancient rustic space. The narrow balcony outside looking over the Hoan Kiem Lake is usually packed. Not only famous for its beautiful and unique look, Dinh Coffee is also known as its egg-coffee. It is a blend of coffee and egg whites, folded with sugar and drunk hot or cold, and thus was a perfect alternative to capuccino given the limited milk supplies at the time. Here, you can enjoy a cup of coffee while admiring the beauty of the nearby Hoan Kiem Lake.

4. Ha Noi House

Ha Noi House

Located in the alley on Ly Quoc Su, Hanoi House has become a popular destination for visitors near and far.

The pretty antique shop space will make you feel like you are slowing down and you can squeeze yourself into some small private comfortable corners.
