It was fine. Nothing that special, but this place certainly is a better choice to grab a drink with friends in the Vệ Hồ area. It gets crowded at night, and more on the weekends for sure. I went at around 9 and it was almost full. Though I didn't really like that they turned off air conditioning half an hour before closing time, since it was pretty hot outside, and a few people were still sitting inside. Conserving energy much? Probably, but maybe waiting a bit more, or doing it when nobody is left would be more of a good idea in my opinion.

A cozy cafe overlooking the lake. Good coffee, some really nice matcha. The vibe and ambiance is cozy. A complete cafe-next-door vibe.

M&M’s Caffeine Connect stopped by Toji by the lake and ordered a Lemon Bliss Cold Brew and espresso and we must say that went above and beyond for our experience. Due to the Valentine’s Day we were presented a cute note along with chocolate as well. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great coffee, aesthetics, and all the vibes. We’ll definitely be visiting again in the future. Espresso Rating: 9.2/10 Lemon Bliss Cold Brew Rating: 9.1/10 Aesthetic: 10/10 Experience: 9.1/10 Taste: 9.2/10

Their creamy coffee is quite good. The indoor space is suitable for working with its modern design. The outdoor space isn't very large but overlooks West Lake. I think I'll come back.

The café itself is very popular with young locals; however, it’s quite noisy. The music is too loud, and the staff can be just as rowdy. In my opinion, it’s not a suitable place to work or study
