Reng Reng Café

This is truly one of my favorite coffee shops in Hanoi. The coffee here is consistently delicious, with a rich, balanced flavor that keeps me coming back. There’s something incredibly comforting about enjoying a cup here — especially right after the rain, when the air is fresh, the streets are quiet, and the atmosphere becomes almost poetic. It’s one of those little rituals that feels both peaceful and indulgent. One thing I really appreciate is their thoughtful approach to sustainability. They offer a discount if you bring your own cup, which not only encourages eco-friendly habits but also adds a sense of connection and care to the whole experience. It’s a small but meaningful gesture — a kind of exclusive touch for loyal customers who share the same values. If you’re in Hanoi and looking for a spot with great coffee, a calm vibe, and a sense of purpose, this café is absolutely worth a visit. I always leave feeling just a little better than when I arrived.

Reng Reng is still something truly special to me. The coffee is unique, high-quality, and full of character. Every cup feels just right — satisfying in the moment, but somehow leaves you craving more once you're home. The space is quiet and calming. No loud talking, no photo-taking — just a place to slow down and enjoy. Their opening hours are limited, so every time I return to Hanoi, I make sure to plan my visit carefully I have Bà Nà ( my fav) like everytime came here. 45k VND/cup

To the random local guy who recommended this cafe completely unprompted - THANK YOU! We went back the next day with our friends because it was so good! The Ba Na coffee here is so smooth & tasty! It's a friendly, local, no nonsense cafe that seems to be loved by so many people. (To the guy who recommended this 😭 if you're reading this, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!)

Charming little café with a quiet, cozy vibe — perfect for solo coffee lovers or a small catch-up with friends. I love the Bà Nà coffee here; it’s rich and smooth. The shop is closed on Mondays, so plan ahead. Not ideal for big groups or loud conversations — it’s more of a calm, slow space. You’re encouraged to bring your own mug, or you can buy a glass there (though the in-house glass adds to the price, so I wouldn’t recommend it). Also, taking photos of the barista isn’t allowed, which helps keep the place peaceful.

I’ve been a coffee lover for years and have tried specialty coffee in many different countries, but Reng Reng Cafe truly amazed me. Their coffee is real specialty—unique, distinctive, and unforgettable. The flavors stand out even when compared with other specialty places I admire, like Sweet Spot Kaffee. Reng Reng has definitely earned a special place on my list of favorites!

The best coffee in Hanoi! Well for me, it's the best coffee in the world! A few people have tried to copy the style but they don't come anywhere close to the kind of coffee that is made here. I highly recommend it to anybody who loves coffee! Important tip: If you bring your own cup you get a discount!

One of the best coffee I have ever had in Vietnam. You can only expect for good coffee, but nothing else. No wifi, no bathroom, no taking pictures, no good chairs or tables… literally nothing. I still feel it’s worth coming if you are looking for a serious coffee place.

Best coffee (bac xiu) in Hanoi. I’ve tried all the best coffee shops in Hanoi, and still this stands out for bac xiu as my favourite.
