Hidden Gem Cafe Hanoi

What an incredible spot!! Gorgeous interior, generous servings and delicious food. We went for the full meat set for my partner and the full vegan set for myself. Amazing!! The banh mi were our favourite, they were so fresh and flavourful. Would come here again and again if we had more time! 165k per set was a great price as well.

True to its name, this café really is a hidden gem. Tucked away down a narrow alley and up a flight of stairs, the space suddenly opens up into something unexpected—every corner thoughtfully designed with its own unique charm. With two floors of beautifully decorated spaces, I genuinely struggled to pick a favorite spot to sit. I ordered the combo meal with a salted coffee, and it hit the mark perfectly. The atmosphere is laid-back, with people casually chatting or working, making it a perfect place to unwind. The staff were incredibly friendly, even offering me a cup of tea just to start a conversation—such a thoughtful and welcoming gesture. If you’re visiting, don’t miss out on this cozy and beautifully designed spot. Highly recommended for travelers looking for a peaceful retreat!

Small cafe tucked away in a corner of Hanoi. The coffee & beer are both great, with a cute food menu too. The entrance can be easy to miss, so look carefully! The bathroom is on the ground floor & there are two fairly steep sets of steps up to the top floor (mind your step)! You can order at the bar & pay with card or cash (there is a charge for using a card, which was around ~1.40% at the time I was there).

Really nice hidden café with very tasty egg coffee and they also have oat milk as an alternative! Great atmosphere when you go up several floors and it feels like a little garden there. Prices are completely fine!

Hidden Gem indeed! Lovely atmosphere and decor made all from recycles! All 3 floors have something unique. The staff was very friendly and engaging. We went there in the evening for a drink and quick bite, the menu is very small, but the food is delicious!

Very atmospheric bistro with exciting spaces and equipment on 3 floors. Very friendly staff and good food. The jasmine ice tea with mango and pineapple is a must, the best mixed cold tea we ever drank in Asia! If you are in Hanoi, you must come here!!

I have been here twice during my stay in Hanoi. Granted, I'm staying 2 doors down but I would make the effort even if I wasn't so close. Great little hideaway. Wonderful service and coffee. The place is a marvel to look at. Everything is made from reclaimed items. I was fortunate to come early and watch them use their clever pulley systems to open up their roof. Coffee is great too. Haven't tried the food yet but definitely will if I get the chance. Highly recommend. Oh and when you walk through the dark little lane way, take a right and climb the stairs. You won't regret it.

Well, it’s a pretty place with an interesting entrance. The only reason you would be here is for some nice photos. Service is decent. The coffees are pretty much baseline standard, I didn’t order any food. Wouldn’t go back for the coffee for sure. There are much better places for quality coffee like “off street cafe”; among others. Also on my way out, saw a dying rat on the 2nd floor. Make what you want of it. I’m just glad I didn’t order any food.
