In Vietnam, coffee is a way of life, an alchemy of flavours blending boldness and sweetness. Impossible to resist cà phê sữa đá, that intense iced coffee softened with sweetened condensed milk, the ideal companion for Hanoi’s warm mornings. More unexpected, cà phê trứng surprises: an espresso topped with a smooth foam of egg yolks and sugar, velvety as a dessert.
In the centre of the country, you discover cà phê muối, a subtle blend of robusta and salted cream, revealing unexpected complexity. Those seeking something refreshing will be tempted by cà phê cốt dừa, where coffee, coconut milk and crushed ice come together in a tropical treat.
In every cup, the heritage of high-altitude plantations blends with urban creativity. A ritual to savour seated on a low stool, at the heart of a street-side coffee shop.
