I had a hot Viet'namese coffee here (with milk) for 35,000 it was small and not especially flavoursome. It wasn't served in any special way or with any enthusiasm, the pottery wasn't unique and in actuality there wasn't any 'milk' (only the regular condensed milk) - as this a standard facet of Viet'namese coffee, a coffee with milk means.... with added milk...

Visited here on March 19/25 on a walk to see the B52. This cafe looked so inviting that I just had to stop.

I ordered a coconut coffee that finally looked like a real coconut coffee. First time in Hanoi. (Da Nang spoiled me)

When it melted a but and I had eaten all the roasted coconut chips, it tasted more like a coconut milkshake and no coffee, I tried to buy a shot of coffee to add. They gave it to me but wouldn't let me pay.

Great cafe with seats inside...
