Opal Coffee - A standout cafe with a vibrant yellow tone amidst Nam Cao street

Finding a beautiful cafe around the West Lake area isn't too difficult. Perhaps because of its favorable location, open space, cool breeze, and stunning views, cafes here are always the go-to destination for everyone. And Opal Coffee - a prominent cafe located near West Lake is sure to bring something new. Let's follow Wecheckin's footsteps to review this cafe.

Convenient location is considered the 'golden spot' of Opal Coffee

The cafe is located at 1A Van Cao street, next to Chu Van An school and just a few steps away from West Lake.

Opal Coffee is a relatively new name in the cafe scene around West Lake. Since the cafe has just opened, the furniture and design of the cafe are all brand new. If anyone has the chance to visit the cafe, they will first be impressed by a 3-story cafe painted in a vibrant yellow color amidst Thuy Khue and Van Cao area.

Opal Coffee is a cafe with an open space

The cafe has indoor space consisting of 3 floors, outdoor space on the sidewalk, and is especially preparing to set up additional space on the rooftop. I believe that after completing the rooftop area, this will be the cafe with the best sunset view, bustling streets in the West Lake area.

Due to the small space of the cafe, the first floor will be the bar area. If anyone enjoys the feeling of the street, sitting on the sidewalk enjoying an iced coffee is very suitable on the first floor. Tables and chairs are placed in the outdoor space, with sunshade umbrellas. Open space, airy but may be a bit hot in the summer.

From the 2nd and 3rd floors, you can enjoy the panoramic view of the bustling streets of Hanoi during the twilight hours, or admire the sparkling lights as night falls. Both the 2nd and 3rd floors make good use of natural light with large, wide windows surrounding all 4 walls. Each floor is adorned with cute little plant pots to add more greenery to the space. On the 3rd floor, there is also a bookshelf for the owner's collection for those who love reading, or for those who enjoy taking Instagram-worthy pictures.

All the designs of the cafe are quite simple, with mainly wooden tables and chairs. Although the space is small, it is very clean and decorated with many light bulbs. Both the 2nd and 3rd floors are equipped with air conditioning so you won't have to worry about the heat on hot summer days.

An honest review of the quality & pricing of drinks at Opal

The menu of the cafe is very diverse, with many types of drinks from tea, smoothies, to coffee, and juices, suitable for different ages. One particularly special drink that many people love here is the Tay Con Dao Yogurt. This drink will surely relieve the heat for everyone when summer comes. A cup of Yogurt is quite generous, with yogurt at the bottom, topped with shaved ice and a variety of small sliced fruits such as dragon fruit, watermelon, and topped with a scoop of ice cream. Mix it all together and enjoy the subtle sweetness with the refreshing yogurt.

Alternatively, you can indulge in Opal fruit tea with peach and lemongrass, which is also very delicious. The tea has a rich flavor, perfect for those with a sweet tooth. If you prefer a lighter taste, you can reduce the sugar for an even better taste.

What makes the experience at Opal Coffee so refreshing?

For the 'West Lake addicts', a coffee session at Opal will make your day full of experiences in Hanoi. Around Opal Coffee, there are many interesting activities at West Lake for you to explore.
