Vietnamese Coffee Is More Than Just One Thing—Here's Where to Try It All in Hanoi | Condé Nast Traveler

"Reaching this spot in the Old Quarter feels a bit like going on a National Treasure-style quest, since it’s tucked inside a crumbling yellow 1930s French colonial mansion half-hidden by foliage and lacking clear signage, but following the smell of coffee up the winding staircase to the first floor reveals a charming hideaway. Inside, exposed brick walls, faded flowery tiles, and splat back wooden chairs give the space a strong retro vibe. The coffee menu is extensive, featuring inventive options like banana coffee and lime coffee, and the egg coffee stands out for being infused with cinnamon, which gives it a distinctive aroma. If the cups your drinks arrive in catch your eye, you can wander within the same building to Hiên Vân Ceramics, which sells pieces made in Bat Trang Pottery Village, where pottery has been produced for more than 700 years." - Arundhati Hazra
