Café Dinh is an atmospheric old style Hanoi coffee shop set in an old, vintage building in Hanoi, right in the Old Quarter and off the beaten path. It’s popular with locals and ambiance is just about as local as it gets.

Café Dinh is hidden above a bag shop, so make sure you keep an eye out as the café can be easily missed. The café itself is up a narrow staircase and the atmosphere is cosy, dark and quaint with dim lighting and decorated with tiny seats in a simple but charming local style setting.

The specialty here is the egg coffee, which is coffee topped with a frothy, egg yolk topping. You’ll find tons of locals hanging out at Café Dinh, as it’s their best-kept secret in Hanoi!
