One of the simple pleasures in Hue: sipping local coffee whilst perched on one of the kindergarten-sized “chairs” in a local coffee joint.
Most of these casual coffee joints catering to the locals would not have the drip-coffee contraption often seen in Vietnamese-themed cafes outside Vietnam. Instead, one’s coffee is often brewed then served in a cup, accompanied by a glass of water or weak tea, to be drunk after one’s finished with one’s coffee. Often, one also gets a glass filled with ice automatically - as locals liked to drop ice-cubes into their hot coffee, to cool the drink quickly.
Hè Phố Café is just a couple of minutes’ stroll from the Imperial Hotel, one of the hotels which we stayed in during our March visit to Hue.
