Located in a small alley behind a pedestrian tunnel in busy Nga Tu So, Xoan Cafe is very quiet. Xoan is one of the nostalgic cafes that opened early in Hanoi, with an old-fashioned house space and a small courtyard with beautiful tables and chairs.

On major occasions, this shop also always changes the decor to help guests have many contexts to take virtual photos. In addition, Cu Xa also keeps a lot of “childhood scraps” such as children’s instant noodles, bubble candy, C candy, etc., which are suitable for organizing the Mid-Autumn Festival with the old-fashioned flavor.

Khoo Coffee is like a door of time that takes us back to the subsidy period, in the middle of a dusty De La Thanh street, coffee is located in an alley with mossy walls, a “scratched” iron staircase and antique objects. old.

“The Warehouse” does not use the yellow color commonly found in subsidized cafes, but prefers dark blue-gray tones, including a shady green space decorated like a relaxing balcony. Old-fashioned items such as black and white televisions, antique phones, Dien Co fans or even old window frames are the perfect backdrop to celebrate the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival!

4. Canteen 109

The Ca Phe canteen is small, located at the foot of the dormitory, not too quiet if there are many guests but allows us to enjoy the “gathering” pleasure of the Vietnamese. The shop still retains the old yellow wall of the dormitory area, with green moss growing together. The shop is small and pretty but still has large windows to catch the sun, clearly feeling an old atmosphere in the corner of a small alley in Hanoi.

The rusticity of the Canteen is also reflected in the beautiful rattan chairs, small wooden tables or the old-fashioned cement tile background. In general, although the space is not too large, it is the nostalgic layout that makes people feel close, cozy and closer to the old days.
