It was kind of a secret place for me since I was a student. The cafe was located in an old house of Hanoi, hidden behind the silk store. Going in inside, you can be surprised like you just entered another world. The house was...really old with old stuff and decoration from long time ago. The interesting things were that they had a roaster and a big fat cute cat hanging around. To the second floor, it was the area to pray for ancestor of the owner. It was kind of sad for me to visit the place last time because they fixed the 3rd floor and there was no window to look out to the lake. I'd prefer to stay in the 3rd floor because it was not too hot by the heat from the rooftop down. But I think it was not my favorite floor anymore. The top of the house was cool with the lake view. There were always many people there because everybody wanna see the lake and a part of the old quarter from above. Their famous drink was egg coffee although it was not the best place for egg coffee. Another suggestion was Coconut coffee, that drink was super cool. If you are travelling in summer in long hours and you feel tired, try salty apricot or salty lime juice. It was quite hard for foreigners to enjoy it, but once you tried, you would realize that it helped you recover a lot. The staff was not friendly but quite ok. Last time, we decided to take the seats inside which was mezzanine with the view straight to the old house under and beside there were bamboo trees. I think it was a quite nice place, tooMore
