Much as we travellers love authenticity and getting to know the real feel of a place, there are times when you just have to accept that you are too hot and too tired of being almost run over by a moped. This is the perfect spot to head for some air conditioned tranquillity which I found I needed at times... More

...for being there in the crazy Old Quarter when we need some comfort food. Great sandwiches, reasonable coffee and good cakes. Try the lemon slice, it really is delicious and only 25000 dong ( just over a dollar). They serve a large range of drinks and coffees. A small latte costs 40000 dong ($2). More

Great coffee and pastries, free wifi, nice place to chill.... More

Superb food, friendly staff, clean, wide choice, lots of options for seating. Bigger than it looks. I went there four times in two days as I found it just before I left Hanoi. Prices are probably 70% of what you'd pay in a Western country. I don't mind paying for quality. Get the brownies, coconut bar, cakes, fresh bagels....! More
