Vietnamese Coffee Culture: More Than Just a Drink

Vietnam's Love Affair with Coffee

Vietnam is the world's second-largest coffee producer, and coffee culture here is unlike anywhere else.

Popular Coffee Styles

• Cà phê sữa đá - Iced coffee with condensed milk (the classic!)
• Cà phê đen - Black coffee
• Cà phê trứng - Egg coffee (a Hanoi specialty)
• Bạc xỉu - More milk than coffee (perfect for beginners)

Coffee Culture

In Vietnam, coffee is about slowing down. People sit for hours at sidewalk cafes, watching the world go by. It's a social ritual as much as a caffeine fix.
