Why not choose beautiful Sapa cafés for an Instagram-worthy experience? Here's a list of stunning cafés in Sapa compiled by Klook.
Exploring Sapa independently without harvesting... a few hundred virtual photos would be such a pity. Besides leaving an impression with its majestic natural scenery, harmonious landscapes, and cool climate, Sapa is also the promised land of many creative cafés. Most cafés in Sapa are operated as Bistros (stopping points serving both food and drinks) or combined with Homestays. If you have the chance to wander to this misty land, #teamKlook, take the time to explore all 10 beautiful cafés in Sapa below.
1. Cafe Du Soleil Sapa
Cafe Du Soleil roughly translates to 'The Café of Sunlight'. This name couldn't be more fitting as the café sits just steps away from the highest flagpole in Indochina atop Fansipan. Stepping into Cafe Du Soleil, you'll immediately sense the faint aroma of herbs, blending harmoniously with the modern design accented with very Northwest elements. #teamKlook must indulge in the fragrant, soft Tiramisu cake paired with a sweet Latte at the highest café in Vietnam.
