No, don't take the Egg coffee here, spare it for Giang cafe as I recommended earlier. When you come to Oriberry Cafe, try their espresso and other Italian style coffee that they offer. I love their Affrogato and Cappucino/Latte. They also sell coffee beans and coffee powder if you want to bring a bit of the Vietnamese coffee taste back home.

Check out this lovely coffee shop along the Hoai River. They offer organic robusta coffee with a stunning view over their own 3 lily ponds and the river. Quiet, laid back, time freeze for a sip of coffee and a tranquil afternoon with your favorite book. They have the best Coconut Coffee and Egg coffee in Hoi An. I also love their Kakigori - Shaved Ice. Only in Ucafe Hoi An.
