Review highlights
Based on 62 reviewsCafe Giảng - Lotte Westlake is widely recognized for its signature egg coffee, which many patrons consider among the best in Hanoi, often rivaling or matching the original Old Quarter location. The rich, creamy texture and well-balanced sweetness of the egg coffee, especially when served hot, receive consistent praise for delivering an authentic and indulgent experience that reflects the brand’s heritage. While the specialty coffee is the highlight, opinions on the egg coffee’s flavor can vary, indicating it may cater more to those seeking a unique traditional taste. The venue’s location within Lotte Mall’s food hall offers a convenient setting, though some guests note preferences regarding presentation, such as serving vessels. Overall, Cafe Giảng maintains a strong reputation for quality and tradition, attracting coffee enthusiasts keen to sample Hanoi’s iconic beverage in a modern yet culturally rooted environment.
This may not be their main location, but it still serves the best egg coffee I’ve ever tasted. As the creator of egg coffee, it’s no surprise they’ve perfected it—it’s like sipping on liquid crème brûlée! The iced version is refreshing and delicious, but the hot one is truly unbeatable. The rich, velvety texture and perfectly balanced sweetness shine even more when served warm. A must-try for coffee lovers looking to experience a true Hanoi classic!
The egg coffee here tastes as close to, or maybe better, than their original location in Old Quarter. I just wish the egg coffee was served in a glass, not a paper cup. 45k for one egg coffee.
Honest review based on my own experience… Honestly this is the best coffee I taste at Vietnam so far…6 days at Vietnam and many shop i try… Egg coffee here the best!!!
Egg coffee is famous in Hanoi. It originated at Café Giang in Hanoi’s Old Quarter. Its creamy, frothy blend of whisked egg yolks, sugar, and Vietnamese coffee is a true Hanoi tradition! I’m glad i’ve tried the origin of the egg coffee. by @esthereatsmore

Egg coffee is okay. We liked it because it is not too sweet.
