Hanoi Street Coffee

Street coffee in Hanoi is one of the main things every traveller should try when visiting this culturally rich part of Vietnam.

As for me, I have been a coffee lover for over 30 years and visiting Hanoi was high on my radar also because of the local coffee found here.

The street coffee places are trendy local hangouts, where the locals are seen sitting all around the sidewalk drinking Vietnamese Coffee or the unique local lemon juice.

They do this while munching on local peanuts throwing the skins all over the floor, while deep in conversation.

The coffee is usually served iced or hot with condensed milk and is probably some of the best street coffee I have tasted.

Foot-high stools are used as makeshift tables while groups of youngsters are seen sitting around chatting and watching life pass by.
