I got a LOT of third wave coffee during a 12-day trip to Vietnam and 186 might have been my top top fave. Loved the alley vibe, the chill staff, the incredible coffee (attention to detail, bean selection, preparation), and the lovely attentive service. Plus the orange cat! Don't miss this place -- there are a zillion great coffee places nearby but this place is super special.

One of the best coffee shops in Hanoi. 🌆
I found this one through instagram reels and it's really a gem. Shop itself looks cool and has a nice cozy athmosphere. You can sit inside and outside. I would prefer to sit outside since the streets is not busy and you can enjoy coffee peacefully. 🧘♂️
We tried 2 different beans in V60 and both of them were really good. It's priced very good considering the quality. ☕️

Best coffee in Hanoï. They were very welcoming and they know their stuff. They roast the coffee themselves and you can try different kind of coffees. It’s hidden in a hallway so it’s pretty calm as you can enjoy a good coffee while reading a book. I went there a second time because it was so nice even if it was a 30 min walk from my apartment. Good job guys. Will be back

One of my favourite spots to chill in Hanoi. The coffee is exceptional as expected, however it is the ambiance, the kindness from the staff, the quiet atmosphere away from the busy city that’s makes travelling to 186 so worthwhile. Even though I don’t live locally, I make time to come by now and again. Highly recommend (bonus - try the lemon cold brew)

☕️ 🍵 🫖 Good coffee tucked in an alley with small seats, mostly outdoors. They have both arabica (Ethiopia) and robusta beans. The matcha latte is pretty good as well but I usually get the hot bác xíu. They have no signs from the Main Street but it’s a nice space in the alley, a little escape from the busy streets.

Sadly, the coffee looks much better than it tastes. The coffee and the croissants here are not good at all. It’s a small space with uncomfortable seating outside. Do not recommend. For the price, there are much better coffee shops around this area of Hanoi.
