The egg coffee at the small shop is made with a base of strong black coffee brewed with a Vietnamese drip filter, topped with a creamy milk foam whipped from egg yolks and condensed milk. It has a taste reminiscent of tiramisu—sweet but not cloying, with rich layers of flavor.
The store is filled with Vietnamese charm, with warm yellow lights, vintage wooden tables and chairs. The air is permeated with the aroma of coffee and sweetness, giving a sense of history and creativity.
The service is very friendly, and they also offer free small handmade crafts, allowing customers to take them home for a donation of their choice.
Little Egg Coffee is a charming little café filled with Vietnamese charm, hidden away in the alleys of Hoi An's old town. It has gained fame for its signature egg coffee. Upon entering the shop, you immediately feel the warmth of the yellow lights, the vintage wooden tables and chairs, and the rich aroma of coffee mixed with a light sweetness in the air. I could immediately tell that the coffee here must be the egg coffee I had been craving!
The most popular egg coffee in the shop looks like a dessert, but it's actually a layered classic beverage. The bottom layer is a strong black coffee brewed with a Vietnamese drip coffee maker, which has a strong bitter flavor. The top layer is made of whipped egg yolks and sweetened condensed milk, creating a smooth and creamy milk foam that's very reminiscent of tiramisu – it’s super dessert-like and very silky! When you take a sip, you first taste the soft, sweet egg and milk foam, followed by the bitterness of the black coffee, but both flavors are perfectly balanced. It’s sweet without being cloying, a perfect harmony between the two.
In addition to being delicious, their service is also quite friendly. The shop offers local handcrafted items that you can take home for free, with the option to donate based on your generosity! For those interested, you can take home a very authentic little wallet.
Overall, this café is not just a coffee shop, but also a space where you can savor history and creativity. It's definitely worth recommending to everyone!
