"Cafe Pho Co, a coffee shop in Hanoi, takes the concept of hole-in-the-wall to a whole other level. Several levels up, in fact. To reach it, you must first walk through a clothing store, down a narrow hallway, then across a courtyard filled with birdcages, plants, and the occasional roaming chicken. Then, you’ll start ascending the stairs, up through what seems to be a home, past a family shrine and a portly ginger cat, and finally to the roof. You could sit on the floor below the roof, but then you wouldn’t get the same delightful views of the city, including the green expanse of Hoan Kiem Lake. Slide into one of the patio chairs and sip on cà phê trứng, also known as Vietnamese egg coffee, a popular style that adds a whisked egg and usually a heaping helping of sugar or condensed milk to Robusta coffee for a decadent, foamy effect. Chocolate fans should try the cacao trứng, which adds hot cocoa to the mix for rich, mocha flavors. If it’s hot out, the cafe serves iced versions of most of its brews, as well. You’ll place your order at one of the lower floors. While the service is known for being a little slow, that’s all the more reason to sit back and enjoy the view at this little space tucked away above all the bustle of the city below.

We ordered Iced Egg Coffee, Iced Milk Coffee and a Plate of Fruits. The coffee was unfortunately a little too strong for our preference. This was a great way to enjoy the view of Hoàn Kiếm Lake late at night away from the busy crowds. The location was a little challenging to find at first, just look for a clothing store with a red Silklike sign and walk through it by following the colourful lanterns. We ordered on the ground level and walked up possibly four to five flights of stairs to the roof top for the best views.

So fun! Had the hot condensed milk coffee and the egg coffee with the veg spring rolls. Amazing. Make sure to go all the way up to the roof as it has the best view. What a cute coffee place hidden entrance. Good for pictures

Pretty nice egg coffee in this literally "hidden" gem! You have to pass a boutique through an alley to reach the shop. After ordering and paying at the reception area, climb a flight of stairs to the seating areas - indoor, outdoor or rooftop. Quite a tranquil cafe to be drinking a cup of coffee in.

This is a very interesting cafe hidden behind some tailor shops on the street side. The family operating the cafe seems to still be living on site and the open kitchen is shared between the business and the household. The old pet dog even greets customers sometimes. There's a small cafe space at the ground level and the front counter, then there's more seating on the second, third and fourth floors. Watch your step as it's a bit hard to climb. The rooftop has good views of the lake. We ordered drinks and they were good. Nice place to chill and relax. The staff are nice and helpful.

Discover a quaint yet spacious coffee haven tucked away discreetly. Accessible through a charming traditional clothing store, proceed to the rear, placing your order before ascending through four levels, culminating in a rooftop escape. The lake view enhances the ambiance. Savor a lusciously creamy egg coffee, its robust coffee essence delighting your palate. Unwind in this serene retreat, perfect for a leisurely coffee break.

Their coconut and egg coffee is amazing. Drank it while listening to the birds chirping and people watching. Absolutely a wonderful experience. You may need to wait a little for your drink but it’s worth the wait. Time does fly here
