Hidden Gem Cafe Hanoi

We were intrigued by the cafe name and it certainly lived up to it. As soon you enter, there is a look and feel that takes you back to Vietnam of the past. Creative repurposing of old tractors, doors, tires, and old bottles gives the place a unique vibe. Maria (owner) was gracious and took her time to explain different aspects of the decor while we waited for our order. There is a rooftop level that has great open air feel and peaceful ambiance. Did I mention the coconut coffee (completely non-dairy)? It was just the right level of sweetness for me. We also had a cappuccino, great coffee taste. Only would wish it could be a little hotter next time I go. The shop has a strong commitment to preserving the environment. From the repurposed decor to messages throughout the place espousing the threat to our oceans, and being one of the few places to use paper bags instead of plastic, this place is truly worth a visit. This is a coffee shop and museum rolled into one. We also bought a purse made from repurposed denim, it will always remind us of this truly “hidden gem” of a place!

This place is a literal hidden gem by being a hole in the wall and that’s part of the charm. The menu selections are limited but it’s good to order at least one item per person. The appeal here is how they have up-cycled and reused everything. And made it part of its charming decor. They had an electronic lift which served the food up from 2nd floor. Take note, u have to order first before finding a table. They also sell some local artisan items here so save some shopping here. It was quiet, despite being along the main road. Toilets are on level 1 and I would definitely recommend coming up to the top for your seats. I realised they serve a fusion menu of sorts and the only reason why I gave food a lower rating cos my noodles came cold but the drinks were great! Overall a 5/5 still for the experience and vibe. A must visit for a local vibe.

What a beautiful cafe with several levels for a break away from the hustle and bustle. Wonderful service from the amazing staff here and we even got serenaded!! We were provided with lovely hospitality and given loads of recommendations for things to do around Hanoi. Would definitely recommend this quirky cafe. The egg coffee was delicious and we were able to get a regular latte just like back home in Aus which was nice.

New to this restaurant and were absolutely blown away. The garden, jungle-style atmosphere is incredible, and as you make your way up the stairs, it just keeps getting better. The ambience is easily one of the best I’ve experienced. The food was delicious, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Definitely worth checking out and true to its name, it’s quite literally a hidden gem.

Hidden Gem is really cute place. Quite inside a building, one-off furnitures and a lot of plants. It's the perfect place for breakfast or to take a rest in the afternoon. Staff is so welcoming and after a few time you go there it starts to feel like home. I make friend with Linh, she's always smiling and caring that everything is fine. She teach me how to make egg coffe and how to make coffee art. Strongly recommend

Truly hidden gem in Hanoi. No matter if you drink coffee or tea, just come and discover a magical and serene atmosphere of this special place. I had one of the best banana bread in my life and very good coffee with oat milk. It was a perfect place for me to sit down in tranquility and write in my journal. The owner Maria offered me home made ginger-cinnamon tea and we had a lovely chat. This is one this places where you can feel the good energy circulating around ✨ I will definitely come back 🥰

A true hidden gem in Hanoi’s Old Quarter! You walk through a narrow hallway, head upstairs, and suddenly you’re in this super picturesque coffee shop. The vibe is cozy, unique, and perfect for taking photos — our group definitely took a lot! They also have a small shop inside selling bags and cute souvenirs, which was a nice touch. The coffees were amazing — we ordered the salted coffee, egg coffee, and blended chocolate ice, and all of them were delicious. The only miss was the pineapple juice; it tasted like canned Dole juice with extra sugar, so I wouldn’t recommend that one. Overall, we’d 100% come back here if we’re in Hanoi again. Great drinks, great decor, and such a charming hidden spot! Staff were also very helpful and recommended us which drinks were better served hot/cold. And it didn’t took them long to bring our drinks upstairs!

This was our first taste of Vietnam after landing. We went straight out to explore and this was top on our list. Perfect food and drinks, a great way to relax into the holiday. Easy enough to find using Google maps. So picturesque, photo opportunities all around, the cafe is tierd so there are a lot of stairs but views are worth it.
