Amidst the hustle and bustle of modern Hanoi, sometimes people just wish for a small corner to temporarily escape the noise, to find balance in their souls. On that journey, many young people have sought refuge in places like coffee shops, and cannot help but mention Tiny Revolution - a stopover containing a "universe" of nostalgia, creativity and peace.
With a giant bookshelf containing about 3 tons of books, an airy skylight space and an old-fashioned layout, Tiny Revolution is gradually becoming a favorite meeting place for young people in Hanoi.
No noise, no rush. This place is like an “emotional waiting room”, where you can listen to yourself, find the connection with your inner self - something we often forget in the hustle and bustle of life. The space is separate and quiet, suitable for studying, working or simply immersing yourself in old music and an old book.
Giant Bookshelf - The Heart of Tiny Revolution
The most prominent highlight here is the giant bookshelf located in the skylight area - where natural light floods in, shining through the colorful and large bookshelves. According to manager Vu: "The total weight of the books here is about 3 tons, not a large number but enough to make anyone who loves books overwhelmed and curious. The bookshelf is not only a place to store knowledge but also the soul of the space, a symbol of the passion for learning and endless discovery."

Many young people who come to the shop spend hours just “diving” in that massive bookshelf, from classic literary novels, philosophy, economics books, to rare art books. This area is not only beautiful for taking pictures but also a place that truly inspires learning, contemplation and creativity.
Nostalgic and simple interior style
Here, there is no choice to "show off" with glossy interiors or sparkling chandeliers. On the contrary, the restaurant follows a nostalgic and rustic style, with yellow walls, old tiles, slowly rotating ceiling fans, and soft yellow lights. Each decorative item in the restaurant seems to carry a story, an old memory with many memories.
Right from the entrance, you will see gramophones, old radios, ceramics and other familiar objects to the previous generation, now becoming symbols of a bygone era. The shop also has a display case for old cameras and an old newspaper stand where you can read the old newspapers that have faded with time. This is the difference compared to other branches of Tiny Cafe - at Tiny Revolution, the feeling of "lost in the past" is clearly and subtly expressed.
Space at Tiny Revolution
The space of the restaurant is divided into many small areas, mainly using wood to create a feeling of closeness to nature and bring warmth to each guest. Whether you go alone or in a group, you can easily find a suitable seat: a large table for group study, a private corner for reading, or a soft sofa for a light conversation.
Prime location hidden in the electronics center
Unlike the easily seen street-front cafes, Tiny Revolution has chosen a very special location - the 4th floor of an electronics center. From the first time you come to the cafe, you may be a bit confused when entering the small elevator and then suddenly feel like stepping into a completely different world when you come to the cafe. This contrast contributes to the unique charm of Tiny Revolution - a peaceful oasis in the heart of the city.
Although it is a coffee shop, it is especially crowded on weekdays, a time when many other shops are usually quiet. Most of the visitors are students, office workers, freelancers... who come here to meet deadlines, study, work or even simply "sit alone quietly".
The space of the shop is fully supportive for work and study: there are power outlets in many areas, strong wifi, adequate lighting and especially a quiet and inspiring atmosphere. In addition to the bookshelf area, the shop also has small corners decorated with abstract paintings, pianos, guitars or old rotary phones. All contribute to creating a quiet and creative environment - an ideal place to nurture ideas and spirit.

Healing Place in the City
Not only a place to work or enjoy coffee, Tiny Revolution is also a spiritual resting place for those who are feeling tired, lost or simply need some privacy to “recharge”. The nostalgic space, soft music, soft lighting and old bookshelves… all act as a soothing medicine for the soul during stressful days.
Every week, there is a special live piano, acoustics or violin music schedule for guests coming to this space to enjoy the most melodious and gentle moments.
Drink prices at the shop range from 30,000 VND to 55,000 VND. In addition, the shop also serves cakes. Open from 7am to 10:30pm every day, creating conditions for both those who want to come early to study and those who need a quiet place after work. If you are feeling the need for a peaceful place to read a page of a book, write a few lines of thought or just sit there, quietly... try visiting a book cafe once. Who knows, you will find yourself a familiar little corner in this big city.
