Vietnamese people enjoy bạc xỉu (special Vietnamese white coffee) all year round, but it exudes a different kind of aroma during the autumn season, when the weather is more pleasant. Hanoi’s version of bạc xỉu today is actually a variation of “bạc tẩy xíu phé” (more milk, less coffee) of the old Saigon people.
This sweet, age-old drink has always been a hit with coffee-addicts who don’t enjoy anything too strong. As Hanoians embrace a cooler weather and shorter daytime, we suggest five places in Hanoi that offer delicious and rich-scent bạc xỉu. These stores also offer many other refreshing options for drinks in affordable prices — delivery right to your doorstep.
V60+ Coffee
Bạc xỉu at V60+ Coffee is a combination of Arabica and Robusta coffee beans, extracted by machine, mixed with fresh milk and condensed milk. The taste is suitable for those who especially like the milky and mild-sweet taste.
In addition, the caramel aroma and a bit of chocolate flavor from the coffee creates a unique taste that can only be found at V60+ Coffee, forming a light bitter drink but not intoxicating.

Gạo Cafe also offer other drinks that are quite simple but rich in taste, suitable for a cool afternoon. If you want to try something different from coffee, we recommend you rice tea, with the tea being brewed in new batches each day.

Drew Coffee
Named “August”, bạc xỉu is the bestseller at Drew. August consists of a layer of fat cream that “blends” perfectly into the coffee, making the taste not too greasy but still retains the strong coffee flavor.
August’s aftertaste is quite strong, making you easily impressed from the first sip. When drinking it, you can feel the slight bitterness within the sweet-scented flavor, not making you drunk. The store uses Arabica and Robusta beans for their coffee.
