    Sitting in a sea of bars and restaurants is Xofa Café & Bistro. It’s a cozy cafeteria to be in, especially after having a filling meal nearby. It also looks Christmas-y for its decor! At night, the al fresco setup is perfect for friends catching up.

    Very good Muesli, chocolate-banana milk and Coconut coffee. Nice place to sit as it is quiet. Service staff were friendly but largely absent; every time I wanted something, I had to track them down. But I will certainly come back.Update: service has become better though they should serve food at the same time, not 20 minutes apart.

    The atmosphere is nice and warm. I especially enjoy the music. Drinks are okay, but the price is higher than other cafes in town. I'm not too surprised though. The banana chocolate cake is good. The sofa is soft, actually a little too soft for me to sit on.

    As a coffee shop lover i can say that the vibes of this place are immaculate!! So cozy and the food is good! I visited here three times during my trip to Hanoi! Definitely recommend. They have an interesting take on chai tea that I liked! Try the club sandwich and the Xofa french fries.

    Great cafe. Lots of young people taking lots of selfies. It’s a cute spot though. My sangria was excellent. My wife’s coffee was awesome looking. But hard to drink lol. Food was all very nice. I really liked the patio. Plants were nice and it was calm. Very pretty there.

    Cozy restaurant / bistro with delicious savoury meals (western). Their drinks are nice and the location is an old villa, a bit removed from the noise of the main roads. Overall a very enjoyable place in Hanoi.

    This was probably our favorite cafe during our time in Hanoi. The outdoor seating is perfect for chatting, and the indoor seating is perfect for working or studying (or chatting). The coffee (one coconut, one w/condensed milk) was delicious. The coconut one was a bit cold for me but I still liked it. Banana loaf was good too, soft and moist. The servers were also nice and cute! Plus, they were open all through Tet (New Year).

    *Review for people that want to work from there* Wifi: Good inside, unstable outside. Food: Awesome dishes, drinks and cakes! Comfort: A lot of space, inside and outside. A lot of plugs, sofas, chairs and tables. Pros: Beautiful places that feels like a home. The food was really good with a fair price. Matcha latte and Kombucha were great! Fav place in Hanoi, I had lunch and dinner at the same place! Cons: A bit of noise because it was too crowded in the evening.

    One of the famous instagrammable cafe in Hanoi. Indeed many youths and teens were there when we visited. It’s should be cozy and comfortable when it’s not too crowded. Only had drinks which is decent. Recommended to drop by if you are nearby.

    Very crowded as usual. friendly waiting staff. Food is good as usual, especially the coconut coffee and the cajun fries with aioli dipping sauce.

    Xofa Cafe in Hanoi offers delightful breakfasts with everything designed for Instagram appeal, which is quite charming. The coffee is excellent, and the staff, though inexperienced, are absolutely lovely. The highlight is its beautiful small courtyard and overall atmosphere. However, if you're seeking traditional Vietnamese cuisine, this may not be the right spot as it leans more towards Western fare. .

    Cute little cafe tucked away in a more quiet corridor of the city. It was still very close to the main part of the city, but it was nice that it was more private given how busy and lively Hanoi can be. The service was great and the food was delicious!

    Very quiet and nice. Also 24 hours like what more could I ask for I got the black forest orange cake, not too sweet and pairs well with black espresso!

    This place is wonderful. Comfy sofas are abundant. They have both Vietnamese and Western dishes and cakes. I had lemon cheese cake and it was really good. Staffs are so polite and friendly. They open 24/7 and the 2nd floor is really quiet so you can even stay and work here overnight. Reasonable price regarding what they offer.

    Got a chocolate crepe cake and a coconut coffee here. Both were delicious but on the more expensive side compared to other coffee shops in Hanoi. It’s a very trendy coffee shop with many young people that come here to hang out. The atmosphere and design of the place is very nice with lots of potential photo ops. It’s a good place to come to relax and get some work done as well.

    Food is great, not perfect, but nobody is. Full english breakfast was good. The beans in tomato sauce were too sweet, but all the other ingredients were really good and satisfying. Place is cute and warm and the service was awesome and polite. Big plus - was open during Tet. Thank you our saviors!:)

    One of the best western breakfast we had in hanoi. Great ambience, alfresco dining. The fries has a special seasoning which makes it very flavourful. Recommend all the dishes in the photos.

    We had the American breakfast and a crispy croissant. Both of them were tasty. We tried their coconut coffee and Americano which were not strong, so if you want extra caffeine you should order their black coffee. They also sell teas, juices and desserts. The ambiance is very pleasant and they play jazzy/ oldies music in English.There are 2 floors with comfortable tables and seats, and you can also seat outdoors. There are plenty of outlets to plug your computer, however, their internet can be slow and choppy. Their prices are more expensive than other places and you get charged 10% VAT at the end of your bill. They speak English and offer you complementary Aromatic water which was a nice treat.

    Xofa is one of the first Cafe shops opens 24/24 in Hanoi. It opened long time ago and is still very popular nowadays thanks to the vintage & classic vibe. The menu was designed carefully with many kinds of Vietnamese & Western foods & beverages and looks so cute with hand-drawn illustrations attach with xofa branding. The price is affordable. If you need classic and vintage style, it will be a good choice to try!

    The kind of café you want to revisit - cozy, shady, with tasty food and coffees. We tried their best selling crepe cake and lemon cheese cake, and they were really delicious - light and creamy. I could have them anytime after a hearty bowl of soup. The coffee was very tasty and refreshing - just like the pomegranate juice. The service was fast and friendly. A place definitely worth of a (re)visit.

    This is an adorable cafe in Hanoi. The staff are all friendly and the menu is nice and diverse - from sandwiches and unique burgers to pastas and salads. There is a nice courtyard/outside seating. The real gem is inside, which is super cozy. Bookshelves decorate the walls and seating consists of arm chairs, couches and regular chairs and tables. It's a great place to relax, unwind, read a book or do some work. The food and coffee was great, with the food looking and tasting fresh. However, it's a little pricey and the portions a little small. Otherwise, a must visit for anyone looking for a cozy cafe to unwind in Hanoi.

    Very cosy, fashionable and stylish place. The staff is adorable. They speak English and ask you about different details about food you would like to eat❤️Two days in a row I had there breakfast, so I can say it was perfect. Prices are high, but the quality is good. I advise you peanut butter coffee. It's marvelous.

    Read a lot of good reviews but was a bit disappointed. The cafe has a nice atmosphere but food wise it's nothing special nor worth the price. Also where I was seated had a lot of flies and because of the rustic feel, the surrounding is not so clean.

    Overall ambience is good. Just along train street. Sometimes the place is full so you need to line up. The coffee and pastries are good! Staff are very accommodating. Recommended for people who wanna work and bring their laptops.

  • 5/5 Daniel Quelo C. 3 years ago on Google
    Had a very good meal. Nice cozy place. The hamburger was very good, and they know how to cook them medium rare. My wife had a Chicken Salad.

  • 5/5 Uyen T. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice place to work/study or just hang out. Drinks and food were good with reasonable price. Wifi is strong and stable. Staffs are definitely polite, enthusiastic, and attentive. I also got a small gift for visiting on 20/10 (Vietnamese Women's Day), which added to the overall experience. I'd recommend this place to friends and family, just beware that seating might run out in the evening.

  • 4/5 Lovely Mae S. 4 months ago on Google • 3 reviews
    The cake was good for picture but doesn't taste so special and price does not match it and waited for 20 mins to be served. The coffee cappuccino was okay ,it came first we enjoyed it , but then again finished it and still waiting for that cake🤣 The ambiance is 100 percent and staffs were okay and smiling overall I give 4.5 rating for this cafe shop.

  • 4/5 Namfon K. 4 years ago on Google
    Good food. There are quite a number of local dishes. Taste is good and clean. (Much more comfortable than having those dishes on street) Coconut coffee is weird. Better order something else

  • 4/5 Zhi K. 1 year ago on Google
    Supposedly 24/7 cafe in the middle of the tourist hotspot of Hanoi. The menu is very limited with few drinks and no food options before the kitchen opens at 8am. They have quite a few strict rules such as no card games which is quite off-putting especially when the cafe is empty. Drinks are relatively pricey and decent at best. Beverages tend to be overly sweet despite asking for less / no sugar options. Giving 4 stars for the comfortable and homey atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Andrea W. (. 6 months ago on Google
    A pleisure to stay there. Delicious Food and finde drinks and coffee. We went there actually twice in short time for breakfast and were both time very happy. The personal is friendly and the ambience just stunning as i found.

  • 4/5 Jason D. 1 year ago on Google
    This is so close to our hotel. Its a rustic coffee shop and its quite popular around the area. The have good coffee and a chill vibe on their shop. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Paying by card is also not a problem. This place can be crowded at night but still chill vibe. Around the area has a lot of street food worth the try. Ps. If you have motorcycle it can be challenging on peak hours. they also have coconut milk coffee worth the try.

  • 5/5 Pusit K. 7 months ago on Google
    Super cool cafe! The environment was nice and friendly. Many tables and a lot of plugs. Perfect place to work from. The coffee also great!

  • 3/5 George H. 8 months ago on Google
    No doubting that this is a nice cafe. Perfect for a pleasing Instagram story and a catch up with your mate. Sadly I have to remove a star because I received the wrong drink. I'm sure they would have fixed it if I told them but I wasn't that bothered. Instead of the coconut coffee I got the coconut cocoa. Crazy. Unfortunately I was more overwhelmed with watery ice flavour than cocoa. Banana loaf was nice but wished it was a little more sweet so that it made me go mmmmm through a mouthful of sponge. I think the high standard of sweetness in Vietnam got its hold on me. They have extensive seating both inside and out so it's a great respite when you're battling the impossible summer humidity. Lots of nice stuff on the menu, go and try it all.

  • 5/5 Giang N. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice atmosphere and decor. Good for focusing time or small talks with friends. Parking is definitely the worst experience here.

  • 5/5 Lara G. 8 months ago on Google
    Very good breakfast and good quality food. We were in a rush since we had a tour coming up. We informed them and they delivered the breakfast really quickly.

  • 5/5 Beatriz I. 8 months ago on Google
    A very nice cafe at a quiet corner in the middle of the Hanoi chaos. The is option to seat inside or outside, we sat inside and they had great background music. Definitely recommend stopping by to relax a bit.

  • 4/5 jamesshogg 9 months ago on Google
    Obviously fancies itself as a bit posh. We went for breakfast and the place was full of wannabe instagrammers doing photoshoots. The English breakfast was okay, not bad at all, but the pancakes came with no syrup or honey (so just dry) but they did give honey once I asked. The avocado was also a bit hard. Overall it was fine but a bit expensive and there are better places for breakfast. Perhaps it's better suited for coffee and lunch etc. Also, there were a lot of staff working, and they were polite and all, but they were always cowering in the shade meaning it was very slow and hard to get service at times.

  • 3/5 Rebecca A. 9 months ago on Google
    Went here for coffee and breakfast with a large group. We all tried a couple of different things to eat and drink. Collectively, the consensus was that besides from the really cool vibe of the cafe (indoors and outdoors), the food and drinks were pretty mediocre and overpriced.

  • 5/5 Elias Del R. 9 months ago on Google
    We have a great coffee here, the place is aesthetic and looks you are in the library. There is a lot of book that you can read. The place is also quiet.

  • 5/5 Charlie D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great vibe, beautiful setting and superb food and coffee. Overall a very chilled spot that is reasonably priced. Highly recommend. The Xofa fries are definitely a favourite

  • 4/5 Gaurav R. 1 year ago on Google
    Good set-up of the place. Outside seating was comfortable. Breakfast was very well plated and comfortable on the palette. Average English communication. It’s a good set up to work from a coffee shop too.

  • 4/5 Andrew S. 10 months ago on Google
    Coffee and tea are serve well and good fragrance. Food wise are well beautify. It really good IG ready and eye appealing. Taste is a good Mix of healthy and nourishing food Good to enjoy your cafe time when you are nearby. +++ points. music well blended with the atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Junie L. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing chill vibe with tasty food! We really enjoyed Xofa’s ambience especially the outdoor seatings. Food quality was amazing and yummy, the drinks too! Definitely a must visit in Hanoi!

  • 5/5 Holic J. 1 year ago on Google
    It is a good place to relax and have a cup of coffee. It also could be a romantic place at night I am for sure.

  • 5/5 Pau R. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice ambiance. An excellent place to have your breakfast or lunch while working remotely. There’s great internet and great coffee. Highly recommend it to any digital nomad worker and anybody who looks for a good coffee and nice ambiance.
