CNN: Hanoi among world's best places for coffee

"Coffee is an indispensable part of Vietnamese culture as the country is well-known as one of the biggest producers of beans in the world," the U.S. cable TV channel said Thursday.

Black coffee, iced coffee with condensed milk, coconut coffee (frozen coconut milk mixed with rich black coffee), and egg coffee are among Hanoians' favorites.

CNN suggested that Café Dinh at 13 Dinh Tien Hoang Street, Xofa Café & Bistro at 14 Tong Duy Tan Street, and Café Duy Tri at 43 Yen Phu Street in Tay Ho District were perfect for coffee dates.
