Autumn in Hanoi brings pleasant weather, very suitable for sipping a cup of coffee and watching the streets. In Hanoi's Old Quarter, the coffee shops that have been around for a long time but have a timeless spirit always have a very special attraction.
Join Travellive to name the old town cafes in the peaceful space on the days when the capital turns to autumn.
1. Hanoi House Cafe
Located on Ly Quoc Su Street, Hanoi House Cafe is considered to have one of the most prime locations in Hanoi because it is opposite the Cathedral. You can enjoy watching the streets of Hanoi peacefully from the balcony.
Ly Quoc Su Street can be said to be one of the most beautiful culinary streets in Hanoi.
When entering Hanoi House cafe, you can feel the soul of Hanoi: a little bit nostalgic, a little dreamy, a little bit magnificent. The way the objects are arranged here creates a delicate harmony, bringing a feeling of closeness and warmth. The rustic and ups and downs of French interior design bring a modern atmosphere.
Hanoi House cafe also attracts foreign tourists with its distinctly nostalgic style. Here, you can comfortably admire the church, listen to the ringing bells, feel the slow pace of life and sip a cup of hot pure coffee in the early autumn weather of Hanoi.
2. Dinh Cafe
Nestled on the 2nd floor of a rather old house on Dinh Tien Hoang Street. Cafe Dinh is famous for its egg coffee and immortal Trinh music. Come here to sip a cup of egg coffee and listen to the soothing music to dispel all the worries of life.
Dinh's space is extremely simple. From the 2nd floor, looking down, it seems to embrace the entire old quarter of Hanoi.
It was once said that the atmosphere of Hanoi is hidden somewhere in Dinh cafe. This is not wrong. Dinh cafe exudes the love of Hanoi people. The passion of the bartender is hidden in each cup of egg coffee.
The most popular location of the restaurant is the balcony overlooking Hoan Kiem Lake and the bustling Dinh Tien Hoang Street. Sitting here, the Hanoi Old Quarter seems to be in sight, so many guests always come very early to get this prime seat.
3. Cafe balcony
In the old French villa, the balcony cafe in Hanoi can fully enjoy the ancient and quiet features. The yellow walls, stairs, tiled floors… seem to still retain the original appearance of Hanoi’s old houses. Here, it does not have the usual subsidy style, but is ancient in the aristocratic way.
The cafe balcony has the most beautiful balcony corner in Hanoi, view of the Hang Bac - Dinh Liet intersection
Entering the cafe, you will quickly be immersed in the warm, soothing yellow light space. Most people admit that they feel overwhelmed when visiting for the first time. Because every corner of the cafe balcony is "aristocratic" with the ancient culture of Hanoi and every scene has beautiful pictures.
Balcony cafes in Hanoi are a "worth-trying" place to watch the streets. Especially when the capital has entered autumn with golden sunshine, sipping a cup of coffee outside on the balcony, watching the bustling crowd is really interesting.
4. Eden Coffee
Eden is a coffee shop located right next to Hanoi Cathedral. The shop has a small entrance and consists of 4 floors. The first floor is quite narrow and is the mixing area and the remaining three floors are for customers to sit.
The 4th floor is the highest floor of the restaurant with outdoor seating, very suitable for autumn evenings and early mornings. Just sitting here for a few minutes, you feel like you have breathed the autumn air into your chest. The rooftop has a space with lots of green trees, very airy and the "view" is almost the entire church. In the evening when the lights are on, you will be extremely surprised by the extremely eye-catching decorations.
In the evening or on chilly early autumn mornings, you will not hesitate to climb 4 steps to get here to breathe in the fresh, clean air.
Located right next to the Cathedral, this place is visited by many locals and international tourists. The Bohemian nomadic style is the creative inspiration for the space of the shop. With a history of more than 200 years, Bohemian is proud to always stand out from the crowd by the colorful combination and creativity from pillows, chairs or tea cups that also become especially interesting.
