Loved the atmosphere, they’ve got walls filled with books here. Good coffee too, but definitely felt like a very touristy cafe which was reflected in the prices. The had a lot of nice seating options too!!

Reviews
Place is comfortable for book reading. The cafe is in small alley. Drinks taste good for our liking. I ordered hot marou chocolate that has a bit of acidic flavor. The downside is not much option for gluten free breakfast that’s why we did not order any food.
Truly tranquil, superb coffee (with paid oatmilk option) in a very calm, cozy and spacious cafe 😍 Books, wifi, water, WC all available, great place to chill solo or meet as a group! Cute concepts like a shoes-off upper floor and a "book map", really wonderful service and experience overall, happy to come back!! 😘👍🏻
Love this place ! I had such a pleasant evening at the open mic event. It’s quite small inside but it makes it more intimate. Just if you want to get a sit inside when there’s an event, you should try to come early :) The staff was really nice and helpful as they were trying to accommodate everyone. Nice selection of original alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks, I really enjoyed my cold brew !
Tranquil Nguyen Quang Bich is one of my favorite coffee spots in Hanoi. This spot is super cozy, peaceful, and filled with books, which makes it the perfect place to read and relax. I especially love the upstairs area with the sofas, bookshelves, and candlelight in the evening,.. Everything feels really warm and charming. There was one time they ran out of matcha, which is my favourite drink here. They recommended me another drink, however it tasted a bit strange without any warning from the staff :( Still, I really love the atmosphere and always enjoy coming back here!
