The Hanoi Cafe

“Lovely café with a charming location and plenty of space. There’s a small outdoor area, a cozy indoor section, and even seating upstairs, so you can almost always find a table—even when it’s busy. Despite the number of people, the noise level is surprisingly comfortable. The food was very tasty, and the portions are quite large—I couldn’t finish everything! A unique highlight is that they offer egg coffee classes where you can learn to make it yourself. We didn’t get to try it, but it definitely sounds worth it. Everything we had tasted great, but the peanut butter coffee was the standout for me—highly recommend! Overall, a great spot, also perfect for larger groups and likely very family-friendly. The decor is a bit old-fashioned, but that actually adds to the charm.”

“The waitress was friendly, checking in on my meal and making sure I had everything I needed. This place is definitely a little more pricey (relatively speaking) than the other restaurants in the area. However, they are catered more towards travelers and tourists with some more westernized food options. For the foot that I ordered, a phõ and Vietnamese style pork, I have no complaints. The food came out quick, hot, and flavorful. The Vietnamese style pork had a honey glaze so it was on the sweeter side when I was expecting something a little more savory. It was good nonetheless. I can’t comment on the other review regarding them adding a credit card surcharge, which apparently is prohibited, so it would be interesting if they could address this.”

“One of the best cafes in hanoi, so good we came back a few times during our stay in Vietnam. Food is amazing, staff are very polite and attentive, pricing is also very reasonable. We recommend trying to smoothie bowl and the pancakes We did not have to book and just turned up (only 2 of us), expect to wait a few minutes at peak times however. They also offer a coffee class here if you are looking for somewhere to do it, we did not get the chance to do this so cannot say how good it is 🙂”

“Food is so good and value for money. Our tummies are so happy after the not so good food we have been eating so far in our stay in Vietnam… We thought it was just a hole in the wall cafe but was surprised to find a big lovely cozy place with a very nice ambiance. The staff was so warm, pleasant and accommodating. Would definitely go back to this restaurant, highly recommended!! From “Sakura Nenes of the Philippines”!”

“We had the French Toast, Avocado Toast and Peanutbutter Coffee. Everything was pretty good, especially the bread. 10/10!The atmosphere is nice, but it's kinda cold in there. The staff is nice ,the waiting time for the beverages is short and the bathroom is nice and clean.I can definitely recommend going there, but it is definitely more pricey than other places in hanoi.”
