Coffee Street Vendors in Vietnam

Just riding motorbike around Hanoi and many other destinations in Vietnam, you will see there are many coffee street vendors on the way. Coffee is considered as an indispensable culture of Vietnam.

Although coffee was first brought to Vietnam is quite late in 19th century by the French, Vietnam soon has become one of the world’s top coffee exporters. Coffee street vendors normally look very simple with no decorations. The owners only put some plastic chairs in order on the pavement, some coffee cups on the shelf and that is enough to create a place for people to come and enjoy coffee. The price is very cheap but incredible coffee.

Many Vietnamese people like to drink coffee in the morning time. In fact, sitting together on small chairs in pavement with a glass of coffee become the popular image of Hanoians. Whoever you are (youth or the elder, male or female, single or married), you can be potential customers or frequent customers of the coffee street vendors.

Although you are foreigners, before or after any Vietnam Motorbike Tours, please spend a little time to sip coffee at a street vendor. Don’t be surprised if you ever happen to find the best coffee of your life in a random small street vendor, not in big and luxurious cafes or restaurants. Coffee street vendor brings a comfortable feeling for everyone.

Normally we will arrange hotel in Hanoi Old Quarter for rider before and after the ride and from that area, customers just take a short walk to Nguyen Du, Nguyen Huu Huan, Trieu Viet Vuong street to experience coffee street vendors along these street. Price for a cup of coffee is from 20 to 25,000VND.

Besides hot or iced black coffee or coffee with condensed milk which are very popular to all people, some coffee street vendors also offer a special and delicious coffee: egg coffee which made from egg yolks, sugar, condensed milk and Robusta coffee, try it and perhaps you will be soon addicted with it.

Vietnamese coffee is very famous because it has a very strong and unique taste. Coffee is a good souvenir that many customers after finishing their Vietnam motorcycle tour buy as a special gift to their beloved people.
