HI PHIN COFFEE HOUSE
Description
Hi Phin sits in a high-ceilinged space that somehow handles a full house of locals and tourists without feeling like a sardine tin. The coffee is the real draw – order the coconut coffee, the egg cream coffee, or just a straight Vietnamese phin and you will not be disappointed. The cappuccino also holds up, which is not a given in this town.
Prices sit around 45,000 VND a cup, which is honest money for the Old Town. Staff are consistently described as warm and attentive (a combination rarer than it should be). The aloe vera yogurt drink is worth adding to your order if you want something cold and a little different.
Highlights
Insider Tip
Go four days in a row like the couple in the reviews - the walk takes 15 minutes from most Old Town guesthouses and the consistency makes it worth treating as your daily ritual rather than a one-time stop.
