Does Hanoi have a strong coffee or café culture? Here's what two local experts had to say about coffee in Hanoi.

The city is very green and there is a lot to see and do. Restaurants and coffee shops abound – try the world renowned ‘egg coffee’. The cost of living is cheap, if you buy local. Obviously, buying imported western goods increases the price considerably. The people are friendly, but not pushy. They will smile and say ‘hello’ but won’t want to know your life story. Hanoi is becoming more of a modern 21st century city, with electric buses/cars/bikes (own by Vingroup – which pretty much owns EVERYTHING) everywhere. Yes, the traffic can be awful, particularly in rush hour (5-7pm) but people are courteous and calm, not losing their temper. June is the hottest month, (35oC+) with storms frequently. All in all it is a much more all round pleasant experience than Bangkok.

Been everywhere all over the world, Hanoi is still my most favourite city. The old quarter is well-reserved, there’s a series of gorgeous lakes, amazing street food spots and local markets. Each time I returned from any trips, I loved this crazy little city even more. Hanoi is very liveable. Arrived in Hanoi, you may get overwhelmed by the swarms of motorbikes, fruit sellers, taxis, more motorbikes, noise, pollution, honking, hawkers, amazing coffee, street dogs, delicious street food.
