Hanoi Coffee Guide: 13 Instagrammable Cafes to Visit in Hanoi, Vietnam

After spending a month drinking the coffee in Vietnam, I seriously don’t know how I can adjust to normal life. I mean it.

I drink about 3-4 mugs of cheap supermarket coffee everyday. I’m taking a sip now as I write this article and guess what? It isn’t taking me back to Vietnam. I take my coffee black – no cream, no sugar – so there’s nothing to mask the inferiority of these beans. It tastes more like boiled bong water than real coffee. Damn you Vietnam.

You can have great coffee anywhere in the country, but for me, the most enjoyable was in Hanoi, largely because of its plethora of interesting and quirky cafes. If you’re planning a trip to Vietnam’s capital, then here are thirteen coffeehouses to perk up your palate and your Instagram feed.
