Hanoi’s unique coffee culture
The French named Hanoi “Little Paris” during their colonization in the 19th century, and introduced coffee culture to the city. Since then, it has become a popular drink and the Vietnamese have even created their own unique ways of enjoying a cup of coffee.
Welcome to our Hanoi Secret Coffee Walking Tour! We will take you on a journey to discover some of the city’s most unique and hidden cafes, showcasing the evolution of coffee culture in Hanoi.
We will start our tour by taking you to a French mansion built in 1936. This historic building is home to a secret coffee recipe brewed with a special ingredient, which our guide will show you how to enjoy in style. Afterward, we will embark on a “secret walk” through the old quarters, giving you a glimpse into the daily lives of local people.
Next, we will visit a hidden gem of a cafe located on the second floor of a multi-functional building. This cafe is so discreet that it often goes unnoticed by passersby, yet it is one of only three original “Hanoian cappuccino” cafes in the city.
Our third stop will be at The Art Cafe, known for its unique bitter coffee style and its fascinating history dating back to 1952. Our knowledgeable guide will share the fun stories and secrets behind this quirky cafe’s architecture and decor.
Lastly, we will bring you to one of the newest concept coffee bars in town, featuring single-origin Vietnamese coffee from the Central Highlands. Our guide will demonstrate live how modern technology is used to produce a cup of high-quality local coffee here. You’ll learn about the latest trends in Hanoi’s coffee culture and see how it has evolved over time.
Throughout the tour, our knowledgeable guide will share interesting stories about the history and culture of coffee in Vietnam.
