Dating in "hidden" cafes

Hanoi has "hidden" coffee shops in small alleys and narrow lanes that you rarely have the chance to experience on normal days when you are busy with work and have little free time. On October 20, you can explore these places with your mother, wife, lover or close friends.

Hidden in the narrow, dark and old alley 27 Dong Xuan, there is a coffee shop with a prime balcony, easily overlooking Hang Ma, Dong Xuan, Hang Chieu streets. Sitting on this balcony, visitors can enjoy the gentle autumn air of Hanoi.

The way to the coffee shop is like exploring a maze.

The main drinks of the shop are coffees such as: milk coffee, black coffee, egg coffee, coconut coffee...

The owner uses only coffee beans, ground himself. The most popular drink is egg coffee, priced at 50,000 VND/cup, made from coffee, eggs and milk. Matcha green tea with its distinctive aroma blends with a smooth, salty, fatty layer of salted cream, loved by young customers.

The shop uses coffee beans from 10 of the best raw material regions in the country, from Dien Bien, Son La to Quang Tri, Hue, Gia Lai, Lam Dong... Coffee from each region is used to make a different drink, depending on the flavor characteristics.
