Hue Coffee Guide: 9 Instagrammable Cafes in Hue, Vietnam

Hue was the one city I was most excited to visit on a recent trip to Vietnam. We skipped it two years ago and have been regretting it ever since, after hearing it’s home to many interesting dishes like banh loc goi, bun bo hue, banh khoai, and com hen.

I did my research so I had all those dishes on my eat-tinerary, but what I didn’t know until I got there was that Hue is home to a unique blend of coffee as well – ca phe muoi or salt coffee. As its name suggests, it’s made with salt and fermented milk and served with ice. Interesting right?

Like ca phe trung to Hanoi, ca phe muoi is a coffee creation with its roots in Hue. It was invented in 2010 so it isn’t as established and well-known as egg coffee, but it will be. It’s delicious and makes you wonder why no one thought of it…
