Under the canopy of light pink cherry blossoms, beside the pure white hydrangea branches and the thin, dreamy smoke like morning mist, Waha brings a complete experience of an old world, full of Asian culture but not at all distant.
This place is not simply a coffee shop but a miniature ancient kingdom, a poetic virtual living studio, where anyone can transform into characters from ancient movies with just a silk dress and a few steps into a space full of flowers.
Flowers filled the yard
Ms. Hai, manager of Waha, shared: "With only 300 square meters, the shop takes advantage of every space and divides the most beautiful areas so that guests can freely immerse themselves in the old space. Vietnamese costumes and ancient costumes are the special features of the shop. Guests can check-in at every corner of the shop, enjoy coffee and tea. Experience all cultures in this space."
The interior space is full of antiquity.
Splendid ancient space in the middle of a bustling city
With an area of about 300 m², this place is designed delicately and skillfully, turning every square meter into a poetic frame. The restaurant is divided into two floors, with the ground floor being a stone-paved and wooden courtyard dotted with a miniature pond, a red bridge, a curved roof and prominent red wooden pillars. Above, cherry blossoms and pink bougainvillea hang in clusters, forming a floating, brilliant flower dome.
The flower branches seem to take visitors into a swordplay movie scene, the thin smoke from the smoke machine on the ground hovers around people's feet, making each step feel like being lost in a fairyland.
The second floor is a wooden balcony with a thatched roof and paper lanterns printed with ancient patterns. From here, visitors can look down on the entire garden below, where the persimmon tree is full of fruit, the pots of bright yellow chrysanthemums, the pure white hydrangeas, the red of the window frames, the brown of the wood and the gentle pink of the flowers and leaves.
Space for renting clothes and makeup
Transform into a historical character in an instant
What makes Waha Coffee stand out the most is the free rental of ancient costumes and hairstyling. Just step into the shop and you can transform into a Tang Dynasty princess, a Ming Dynasty concubine or a Nguyen Dynasty lady in an instant. The costumes here are very diverse, from gentle Korean Hanbok, elaborate Chinese ancient costumes to elegant Vietnamese traditional costumes.
Accessories such as hairpins, paper fans, cloth umbrellas, or silk belts are also carefully prepared, making each photo more perfect. In particular, the staff will assist in adjusting hair to match the outfit, from a high royal-style bun to loose hair decorated with flower hairpins. Groups of close friends, couples, or even families all come here to have a souvenir photo album that is both artistic and unique.
Dreamy smoke
Flowers are the soul of Waha
Waha is considered a “miniature peach garden” in the heart of Hanoi. The flowers here are not just for decoration but have become the soul of the shop. From the real persimmon tree with heavy fruit in the corner of the yard, to the artificial peach blossom branches hanging down like spring rain, flowers at Waha appear in every corner, every sight, creating a mesmerizing “sea of flowers”.
Under the tree, the hydrangea pots are carefully arranged so that each frame has a balanced composition, creating a perfect background for the photographer. Along the wooden corridor, flowers hang like a canopy and on the wall hangs calligraphy, flowers dotted like gentle strokes of art.

A cultural rendezvous in the heart of Hanoi
In addition to being a photography space, Waha also aims to become a place of cultural exchange and preservation of ancient aesthetic values. The calligraphy hanging in the shop is handwritten by the owner himself, who loves classical art and wants to spread traditional values to young people.
Bold ancient style mixed with modern conveniences. The shop serves a variety of drinks from traditional coffee, Japanese matcha, chrysanthemum tea to tropical fruit soda. Each dish is delicately decorated, matching the spirit of the space. A cup of flower tea can be accompanied by a lotus petal, or a glass of blended ice with a few dried flower petals.
Ancient costume check-in space
Every corner of the shop is a miniature studio, from the red bridge, the wooden roof, the calligraphy wall corner to the hanging flower corridor, all of which evoke a cinematic, dreamy, elegant feeling.
Many couples choose this place to take wedding photos, young people organize birthday parties in ancient style, and many hot TikTokers and bloggers come here to film transformation videos, dressing up in ancient costumes. This is a "fairy garden" in the heart of the city, a place to temporarily forget the hustle and bustle of life and slow down with old, elegant things.
