If you're a coffee enthusiast and want to brew yourself a hot cup of coffee, then take the time to visit Cafe Mai - here you'll find many authentic coffees from famous coffee regions like Buon Ma Thuot and Dak Lak. Prices vary. Surely, when you step into this shop, you won't forget the enticing aroma emanating from the coffee roaster. The coffee roasting technique is also very sophisticated. It's hard to use machines for this job instead of experienced coffee roasters.

The roaster must perform many actions, such as quickly flipping the beans, watching the coffee smoke, smelling the aroma, listening to the bean sound, and quickly pouring the perfectly roasted coffee... Another secret is to combine the characteristics of each type of coffee, such as the beautiful color of coffee water with the special aroma of coffee and tea, the richness of coffee... to create the characteristic acidity, sweetness, bitterness, and richness of irresistible brown coffee. Among about a dozen coffee roasters in Hanoi, Cafe Mai is still chosen as a high-quality place with many familiar customers in Hanoi and foreigners. Customers are not only coffee lovers who come to buy retail, but most of the coffee shops, restaurants, and hotels also become regular customers of Cafe Mai.
