Hanoi 1990

Reserve your seats in advance via Instagram to secure a prime spot for watching the train pass while enjoying a drink.

In their own words: “Oh, when I was doing my research, um a lot of people recommended this coffee shop, Hanoi 1990, and they said that you can actually DM them on Instagram, and they'll tell you the train schedule, and they'll also let you reserve seats. Ah. So, you don't have to actually be here to reserve seats. You can tell them, "Hey, I want two seats." And then show up when it is. Yeah, we just had a lot of time, so we came early and we're just waiting. But, if you're tight on time and you want to make sure you have seats available, then it's a good place to do that.”

Time your visit to enjoy an egg coffee while the train passes just inches from your table, a truly unique Hanoi experience.

In their own words: “We also stopped at Hanoi 1990s on Train Street for egg coffee, and timed it for when the train came through. Sitting there with a cup of egg coffee while the train rolls just inches from the tables is one of the unique Hanoi experiences.”
