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.

The old bridge which was designed by the same designer of Eiffel Tower. The bridge is mainly for train, bicycles and pedestrians. The bridge crosses over the Red River of Hanoi. It's a long but nice walk with some stunning photos with train on your background.
