Getting to this cafe is an adventure. You will walk through a very narrow corridor, up a narrow staircase, and then through another narrow corridor to reach the cafe. It felt like visiting a Vietnamese friend at his house to dri k coffee. Getting there is such a unique experience. The cafe's environment was fantastic. The air-conditioning was very much welcomed in the heat, and the place didnt feel too cramped. Coffee-wise, I tried their signature egg coffee and coconut coffee. Both tasted great. I like that the egg foam wasnt too sweet, and went very well with the bitter rich coffee underneath. Ditto for the coconut oat milk coffee in that it wasn't too sweet and the coffee's aroma shone through. There's a warm waterbath that came along with the egg coffee keep the egg foam warm. I went on a Sat early afternoon and didn't have to wait for a seat. I guess you might have to wait outside during peak seasons. There's about 20 seats within the cafe. Price wise, its about 60k to 70k per cup of coffee. Pretty reasonable.

Incredible Specialty Vietnamese Coffee Experience! We tried their coconut coffee and dang! it was one of the best we had here in Hanoi. The coconut biscuit complemented well with the coffee. The baristas are highly skilled and take their craft seriously, using premium regional beans. Surprisingly, the journey going to the cafe is a bit off, but when you finally arrived it has a rustic interior with traditional Vietnamese vibes with a warm, cozy, and highly photogenic atmosphere. Excellent service, amazing coffee, and a wonderful vibe. A must visit in Hanoi ☺️

C.O.C Legacy Specialty Coffee served one of the best coffees I tried during my stay in Hanoi. I ordered their egg coffee, and I really loved the texture and balance of flavors. The sweetness level was just right — creamy and rich without being overly sweet, which made it very enjoyable. The café itself is a bit hidden. It’s located on the second floor, and you need to enter through a small alley to find it. It’s not very visible from the outside, so it can easily be missed if you’re not specifically looking for it. Because of that, I think this place deserves more recognition. The quality of the coffee is excellent, and it’s definitely worth seeking out if you’re a coffee lover visiting Hanoi. I would highly recommend trying it.

Like all good places this coffee shop is hidden! The entry is very small with a tiny signboard but boy when you enter inside taking the staircase, it’s warm and cosy. We just bought a bag of coffee beans which the lady at the reception helped with. She was very helpful and also gave us some keychains as Souvenir. We found the price at mid range. Must visit in Hanoi if you want to buy some coffee beans.

AMAZING (hidden gem) specialty coffee shop in Hanoi! Brewing high quality beans using Vietnamese phin pour over style. They have a wall of certificates and awards to prove it too! Had 2 phin pour overs - both excellent: Robusta (caramel, chocolate, nutty) and Liberica (jackfruit, fruity, umami). Staff are all also extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and precise with their coffee making - everything was measured and timed beautifully with much care. Definitely a unique experience hidden from the street view (small dark-ish narrow alley way up the stairs), but finally finding it was part of the experience and charm. Highly recommended and look forward to visiting again the next time I am in Hanoi.
