Located on a bustling street of cafes in Hanoi, this small shop at the corner of Kim Ma and Tran Huy Lieu impresses many not with its grand space or eye-catching design, but with its rather rustic and somewhat... old-fashioned name: Lua Mi Bakery.

The cafe is quite small, with only two modest floors, simply and neatly decorated, yet still offering a gentle and comfortable atmosphere upon entering. The first floor is for those who prefer sidewalk cafe seating, with wooden tables and chairs arranged on either side of the entrance, shaded by large white umbrellas, and surrounded by a few small, pretty flower pots. The indoor space is where drinks are prepared and where glass display cases showcase the cafe's own beautiful and attractive pastries.
Upon reaching the second floor, you'll experience a light and cozy atmosphere with a dominant brown and gold color scheme. From the tables and chairs to the baseboards, stairwells, and window frames, everything is in a matching dark brown wood tone. The owner cleverly adds a touch of color to the light yellow wall with vibrant paintings of fruits and pastries, creating a visually appealing effect. The harmonious blend of youthful, modern, yet elegant and sophisticated style has made Lúa Mì Bakery appealing to a wide range of customers, from young students to office workers.

But perhaps the most beloved space here is the balcony on the second floor, where small, charming pots of vibrant pink and purple petunias hang, blending with the refreshing green of the trees outside, creating a pleasant and peaceful atmosphere.
At Lúa Mì Bakery, don't forget to try the delicious cakes made by the owner himself, such as fluffy brownies, refreshing passion fruit mousse with a hint of sourness, cheesecake, and unique carrot cake... The bakery's menu changes daily; whenever the owner feels inspired, he'll come up with and make a new cake.

Besides the pastries, the most attractive feature for customers is the selection of delicious and visually appealing drinks. The most popular items are the green tea with fresh cream and the chocolate cake with fresh cream, both favored by many customers. Prices for the cakes and drinks range from 20,000 to 50,000 VND.
If, on hot summer days, you're looking for a cozy corner to relax and sip on a refreshing cold drink, this is the place for you. The cafe is open from 7:30 AM to 11:00 PM.
Lúa Mì Bakery is located at 101 B3 Tran Huy Lieu Street, Ba Dinh District, Hanoi.
