Savor a cup of coffee at 4 am and await the sunrise outside the window with strangers for an incredibly delightful experience.
Explore Hanoi's nightlife with two coffee spots on Tống Duy Tân Street
One with a decade-long legacy, the other recently opened but has quickly made an impression. Both are situated on the famous Hanoi night street and are familiar spots for night owls.
Puku Café
Those who love to wander at night probably already know about this café located at 16-18 Tống Duy Tân. The 24/7 service has been a staple for a long time. Therefore, not only on New Year's Eve or during major football events, customers still flock here lively after midnight.
Witness young individuals engrossed in work with laptops on tables, while the surroundings buzz with lively gatherings. The clientele is diverse, with a fair share of Western guests. Perhaps, this coffee shop is distinctive for the blend of Asian and European styles, balancing tranquility with liveliness.
Whether it's the outdoor or indoor space, the first or second floor, the vintage charm is evident in every wooden rocking chair, lantern, potted banana plants, and more. Customers feel naturally at home when sitting on the comfortable sofa watching TV.
The menu here is quite diverse, offering a range of drinks, pastries, and savory dishes at various price points. You can order anything from pure Vietnamese black coffee to espresso, from spring rolls to nachos – the famous Mexican snack. After 10 pm, customers can choose from a separate menu, slightly more budget-friendly.
Xofa Café
Puku's 'neighbor,' Xofa Café, is a must-visit for Hanoi's youth despite being open for less than a year. The cafe doesn't just stay open all night but also throughout Tet, meaning it never closes any hour of the year.
Everything at the cafe sparkles on camera, from the European-style brick wall outside the old French house, the vibrant tiled staircase, cushioned pillows and Turkish towels, to wooden shelves filled with colorful yarn rolls...
The food and drinks here are meticulously crafted in both quality and presentation, and the prices reflect that. However, spending around 50,000 VND for a drink is justified by the hours you can spend in this clean, beautiful, and sophisticated environment with attentive service, leaving most customers satisfied.
If you visit alone, you can read pre-placed books and magazines on the shelves, or even... take a nap until sunrise. The comfortable sofas and accommodating staff allow customers to borrow blankets for a nap if requested.
Whether for resting, gathering, or working overnight, these two addresses are noteworthy choices for those in Hanoi. Especially, you can also savor famous dishes from the Tống Duy Tân culinary area, such as Vietnamese-style pho, island-style chicken rice...
