The Coop By Chookie's

Great for coffee and cakes, limited food menu. The carrot cake needs a little more flavour, tastless, even with the icing. The latte coffee ended up a cappuccino being only three quarters full ! The real latte coffee has no froth, and it fills the cup to the top, unlike this one. Especially at 75k plus 8% tax for the large cup. * Back tonight for more Carrot Cake, not much choice around here ! Yes it needs more flavour and a little sugar into the icing 😋

The Coop by Chookies Near Hang Mua cave Went there multiple times. Tried quite a few items - many coffees, cookies, pizza, fish, beer, cocktails and mocktails . Slightly expensive (relative to the other options in the area) as primarily catering to westerners. Service was a bit slow as good footfall compared to other restaurants nearby. Chicken pita wrap was good, so was mint slushie, fish taco was small portion, not great; egg coffee was decent. Halida tap beer wasn’t great. Was poured from a bottle, not tap. Overall, go if you want to have decent non-Vietnamese food while in Ninh Binh.

The chicken gyro is fantastic😍 The food menu is amazing and has a lot of healthy options. An underrated gem is the fruit salad served with coconut cream and coconut shavings. Also loved peanut butter chia seed granola bowl. The service is great and since I travelled in the summer, the host always welcomed me with a cold, moist towel. The quality of the food is great and the ambience is lovely too. Will definitely visit The Coop if I’m back in Ninh Binh! ❤️

Loved the lime mint slushie and PB salt coffee! Also had a chicken quesadilla and chicken gyro which were both delicious. Great place to chill with a drink and snack. I’ve heard it’s hard to find good food in this town and this was really good. Slightly higher prices than average in town and no indoor AC seating but they proactively put a fan right next to us. Would totally come back!

Highly recommend this place for some quality non-vietnamese food. We eat Mediterranean food at home all the time, and the chicken gyros here (with the tzatziii and garlic sauces) had no business being this good. Great, juicy meat and great toppings. Got those and some garlic fries. It was basically empty when we came, though we came an hour before closing and it's tourist off-season. There was a family likely related to one of the owners here also dining, and their kids were playing with the waitresses which was cute. Seems like a solid shop! They do accept card but 8% service charge. Also, mini parking lot in the back.

The best GYRO! Quesadillas and fries were kid approved. After a couple weeks of local food we were craving something different. The gyro was amazing! Loved the coconut coffee and lime mint slushee as well. This meal cost us a lot compared to what we’ve been eating but it was all delicious and well worth it.

In a sea of tourist trap restaurants, The Coop stands triumphantly above it all! I ate there three times in one day haha. Tried the cinnamon bun, burger, gyro, and quesadilla— all awesome. I’m pretty sure they make all the desert, sandwich buns, and tortillas from scratch. The staff was so kind too. What a delight. It’s on the same street as the Mua Caves park, so it’s a great option for a post-hike meal and beer!

The COOP is very special, the food is really different from other places in the area. The price is good for the quality you get, many choices for Western style. I love Vietnamese food, but sometimes when I want to eat Western food, I come here After climbing Mua Cave, you’ll really want to come here to relax and enjoy a good meal. They gave me the cold towel, free-refill water, and free parking fee. I definitely will tell my friends to this place!
