The people here seem like a very nice family who owns this business. We sat here in the evening which were very good juices and drinks. This morning... amazing breakfast.

We’ve now been here 3x in two days. They even served us before they were open. Family owned, Food is delicious, coffee is delicious. Highly recommend! Get the avocado toast and add the salad. Also get the ginger shot with soda water. Incredibly refreshing and boosts Your immune system!

What a lovely find! We stumbled upon this cafe by chance and the cocktails were fantastic. In fact, they were so good, we had to visit again the next day.😊

Cozy cafe in the old quarters, typically catering to foreigners. Hearty healthy food! Okayish service, sometimes kitchen can get busy and it might take 20-30 mins for the food to come. Great spot overall!

I stayed above Em Cafe for 2 weeks and it became a regular spot for me to relax with a nice breakfast, dinner or coffee. Mai, Tran and her friendly family and staff make it a very chilled and welcoming place. The food was fresh and tasty and the coffee was excellent, in a nice little Hanoi street where you can spend a lot of time just watching the world go by. Totally recommend Em cafe.
