1. Giảng Cafe
Giảng is one of the oldest coffee brands in Hanoi, founded by Mr. Nguyen Van Giang. Mr. Giang used to be a barista at the Metropole Hotel during the French colonial period, and the famous Hanoi egg coffee at Giảng was transformed from the cappuccino drink when he worked at the Metropole. Giảng's egg coffee has a rich coffee flavor combined with the aromatic taste of egg yolks and a hint of sweetness from the cream. There are many coffee shops in Hanoi that serve egg coffee, but making a cup of egg coffee requires careful attention to prevent the egg aroma from overpowering the coffee. Therefore, Giảng coffee shops are a safe choice because they are the original brand that pioneered egg coffee, and their establishments place great emphasis on preserving the authentic recipe of egg coffee.
