Coffee House

Going on Ton That Tung street, you can see Cu Xa beach located between the balconies of the dormitory in the Khuong Thuong apartment complex. The shop, currently located on the second floor, has a style that evokes childhood memories when decorating and using many old items of previous generations from toys to snacks. Photo: Cu Xa

Diners to the restaurant can choose to sit outside on the balcony or indoors, the inside of the house is also divided into several compartments (from the old apartment architecture).

The menu is diverse from drinks to snacks, which are school gate dishes such as o mai string, children’s instant noodles… with very affordable prices, only from 20,000 to 35,000 VND/dish. Currently, Cu Xa is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. Photo: Foody

Nestled in a small apartment of the artist collective, Nui Truc alley, Ba Dinh district, (opposite 59 Nui Truc lane), Brik is a coffee shop specializing in craft brewing. The small space creates a cozy atmosphere for guests with mainly light brown and white decorative tones. Because it is located on the first floor near the stairs to the dormitory, guests can park their car right next to the shop and order food to enjoy, watching the quiet courtyard. Photo: Duong Bao Trang
