Drew Coffee is located at the intersection of Cua Dong and Hang Ga, so it's very easy to find. You only need to come here once and you'll remember. The space at Drew Coffee is not particularly outstanding, with indoor and outdoor seating. Inside, it's quite small with just a few tables, but if you like a cool breeze and watching the street, sitting outside on the sidewalk is very suitable. However, the drinks here are extremely delicious. The drinks mostly focus on coffee, but they are prepared in a very unique way, so if you are a connoisseur and enjoy drinking coffee, you will easily get addicted when you come here.

One Sunday morning, when you wake up and realize there's no rush to get dressed for school or work, hop on a bike, have breakfast, then go to Drew Coffee and order a cup of delicious coffee to enjoy, savor, and admire the streets and the tranquility of Hanoi in the early morning. This will bring you a feeling that is hard to describe. Besides, the drink prices here are very reasonable, suitable for many people.
