Cafés

Hoi An's café scene is incredibly robust, and with Vietnam famously being one of the world's largest coffee producers, each coffee shop in Hoi An enjoys the freedom to brew its own unique blend. Coffee is often served iced, so do mention if you would rather have it hot. The typical local brew is made using a small metal drip filter placed directly on top of the cup and then receives a generous splash of condensed milk to help conceal the bitter notes that sometimes come through (especially in cheaper beans). If you're feeling adventurous, order a 'cà phê sữa chua' (yoghurt coffee) or 'cà phê trứng', which is a caffeinated drink with a heavy base of whipped egg yolks, sweetened with condensed milk.
