AeroPress and Chemex on a quiet Old Quarter street

Blackbird is the café that pushed Hanoi's coffee scene past phin and condensed milk, brewing AeroPress and Chemex back when almost nobody else in the city did. Beans are roasted in house, and staff will happily talk you through origins.

Chân Cầm stays quieter than the streets around it. That makes Blackbird one of the few Old Quarter cafés where you can actually sit for an hour.

A fantastic, delightful cafe! I discovered this cafe across from the hotel I was staying at in the old district. The ambiance was cozy and relaxing, making it the perfect spot to unwind. Modern vibe. I savored some great coffee and delicious banana bread, all complemented by excellent service. Highly recommend and I Will be back!

A unique coffee shop near Hanoi Old Quarter. We are so glad we stumbled upon this place on the last day of our trip. We were looking for a good roastery and a good coffee shop to try specialty coffee, and this was definitely the best one we visited. It has a very special vibe. They also sell pastries, but we did not try any. The coffee combinations and special drinks were amazing, especially the coconut coffee and the cold brew we tried. I would have definitely come back here if it had not been our last day, and I definitely recommend it to every coffee lover.

Eggpresso was amazing! Very delicious. Nice little cafe, good for working (tiny space only good if you are solo for working), great for people watching. Love the atmosphere and neighborhood around the cafe also nice

A quiet coffee spot in the heart of the Old Quarter of Hanoi. The rich aroma of coffee beans takes you somewhere you can’t quite remember—but somehow never forget. The space is small, which might be a downside for some, but it adds to the cozy charm. The atmosphere is warm and peaceful, making it a perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee and a moment of quiet.

This has been my absolute favorite cafe and my go-to spot since 2018. I usually go for a latte or cappuccino, and what really sets this place apart is their incredible consistency. After all these years, the quality of both the drinks and the service remains solid, always making me feel so comfortable and welcome. The space itself is flawless—there’s honestly not a bad seat in the house. Every corner has its own unique charm and vibe. It’s rare to find a place with such long-lasting excellence in every single detail!
