More ways to explore Hanoi

Good to know

These Hanoi cafés are laptop-friendly: they tolerate long stays, generally have seating and outlets, and don't push you out after one cup. Always check peak-hour signage, since some limit laptops on weekends.

Found your spot? Remember it.

Save these Hanoi cafés in Remembrew, log every cup, and never forget which one was the one.

The weekly bean drop

One coffee we're into, one café worth a flight, one tip you can use Sunday morning.
