The coffee base is made with a dense, slightly thick consistency, while the egg is smooth and fragrant.

In addition to delicious food and drinks, Little HaNoi Egg Coffee also serves the “nail” of egg coffee. The egg coffee here has a traditional taste with the coffee base not too strong, quite medium to drink. The egg layer is whipped from fresh eggs, so when you drink it, it has a greasy taste and melts in your mouth. There are 2 types here, the original egg coffee and the egg coffee that comes with a crispy toasted sandwich, dotted with egg layer. If you want to sip some cake while drinking coffee, egg coffee with sandwich is the most reasonable choice.

So Bo restaurant
Referring to the restaurant with delicious egg coffee in Ho Chi Minh City, the name Xo Bo is indispensable. Although selling a lot of drinks, egg coffee is the dish that makes the name of the shop. The coffee here is brewed hot, fragrant with roasted coffee, on top is a very fragrant, not fishy layer of beaten eggs. When drinking, the greasy taste of the egg will blend with the slightly bitter coffee underneath. However, the egg coffee here will be a bit sweeter than the original Hanoi egg coffee, but it is more suitable for Ho Chi Minh City people. In addition, you can order more Vietnamese bread spread with butter, crispy baked and dipped with egg cream, which is also quite fun to eat.

Okkio Caffe’s menu is a whole world of coffee when there are all kinds of coffee from Vietnam to abroad. In particular, Hanoi’s famous egg coffee dish at the shop is highly appreciated by many people with a layer of greasy eggs that are whipped smooth, without air bubbles and the coffee is warm and fragrant. The top of each egg coffee cup will be covered with cocoa powder to add more flavor to the drink.
