The Story
About This Place
Vietsun Coffee sits on Điện Biên Phủ, one of Hoan Kiem's quieter streets running alongside the historic district, and has earned a 5.0 rating from over 300 Google reviewers — a figure that holds up even as the area fills with competing cafes chasing the same specialty coffee crowd. The dual identity as both espresso bar and art cafe gives the space a distinct register: more considered than the grab-and-go spots clustered near Hoan Kiem Lake, but without the self-conscious staging that burdens some of Hanoi's Instagram-first venues. The coffee program is the draw, with espresso-based drinks as the anchor. Hoan Kiem is saturated with cafe options ranging from heritage French-colonial rooms to bare-concrete pour-over counters, and Vietsun has carved out a position by maintaining consistent quality across a high volume of visitors without diluting what makes it worth the detour. The art component is structural rather than decorative — the kind of space where the work on the walls is selected, not rotated for social posts. That combination tends to attract a mix of local professionals looking for a reliable afternoon coffee and visitors who have done enough research to find something off the main tourist drag. The address at number 2 puts it at a natural starting point on the street, easy to find without being in the thick of the Old Quarter foot traffic.

A lovely hidden gem and people serving deliscious healthy breakfast and strong black Vietnamese coffee. Run by a young family with a cuttest baby Duc. It is a great place to hangout and chill as they have a space in different floors with a view of the city traffic and scooters chaos. Loved it.
Really recommend this cafe. We had Pain au chocolates which were served warm and were delicious. But the star of the show was the iced salted coffee. These were amazing we could have drunk them again!! The gentleman who served us was also very welcoming. Definitely worth a visit.
Great place to grab a break, upstairs panoramic seating gives great views, as usual a big range of coffees, with owners original spin. Pastries and granola make a fab breakfast.
Delicious refreshing snack, and drinks! We wanted a snack / egg coffee and stumbled upon here. It’s 1 block off the main train street but you can still see it from the 3rd floor. We were on the 2nd floor, so we didn’t see the view. Very calm atmosphere with Studio Ghibli music in the background. Our barista was very attentive and was laser focused when preparing our orders. Everything was made on the spot and you can taste the love and expertise. Would come here again. Drinks: Egg Coffee, Matcha Latte, Energy Smoothie Bowl (with oat Milk)
