Hidden Gem cafe - Hanoi’s colorful hideaway

Tucked just a few steps from the Old Quarter’s busy streets, there’s a spot you might miss if you’re not looking closely. Two small entrances - one on Hàng Mắm, one on Hàng Tre - lead into a world where each corner feels alive with color and creativity.
Inside, every floor tells a different story. There are open spaces where the street’s hum drifts in, quiet nooks for daydreaming alone, and big tables for friends/families sharing laughter. Upcycled furniture and reclaimed treasures fill the rooms, making the whole place feel both playful and warm.
From the rooftop, the city opens up - motorbikes weaving below, voices floating in the air, life carrying on in its vibrant, imperfect way. It’s not just a view to see, but also to hear and feel.
Time slips away here over a unique "cốm" coffee or a creamy egg coffee. Maybe you’re scribbling in a notebook, laughing with friends, or simply watching the city go by from above. So, who would you share this hidden spot with?
