Recycled Oasis - Edit
It was kind of the coolest Cafe/Restaurant I visited in a long time! Pictures at the wall, a lot of plants and all the cool recycled things like chairs out of old wheels or buckets, a motorbike as a table and old bottles made to a lamp.

Pros: Decoration, Staff, Plants

Loved it! - Edit
This café is not only one of the coolest places I've seen, but one with incredible food too. The rainbow noodles were delicious and so were all the starters. Truly a gem!

Cute spot - Edit
This really is a hidden gem. Three floors (but first one is kitchen so no seating options).
Read moreNo vegan milk that’s why 3 stars
Would go here again though. Ordered an iced americano and the teas at the table next to me looked amazing!
Please peeps: coconut coffee in Vietnam is not vegan!!! Please clarify if posting that you’re vegetarian. Coconut coffee in Vietnam (unless you are in vegan Cafés) combines condensed milk with coconut!
They offer vegan food such as noodles and summer rolls /spring rolls as well
Lovely spot with wifi, many seating options semi outside - not too many proper chairs only small stools without back.
Friendly service
Cheap

It is a Hidden gem - Edit
I had the vegan coloured rice noodles and passionsfruit juice. The food was very tasty but I found that the juice was a bit too sweet. #Veganuary

Unbelievable cafe, takes upcycle/recycle to a new level - Edit
We found this place on google and learned it’s majored in a lot of local guide tours in Hanoi.
Read moreIt is one of the top 3 things I do within my first 24 hours of being in the city every time I come back.
Met the owner the other day and sounded like nothing short of a fan girl to her.
They have several vegan nibbles which are delicious and their drinks are the tops.
We always get the fresh and fried spring rolls, coconut coffee, mango smoothies, and Vietnamese coffees.
All are the very best!
Awesome place for families, tech-nomads, and anyone who cares about the notion of recycling and saving the planet.
Pros: Ethos, People, Drinks & food

Place is great, menu for vegans just alright - Edit
The place is super nice, there's a lot of cool things to be discovered when having a drink there, so it is definitely a cool place to have a drink and let your eyes (or legs) wander around for a bit. I was just a bit bummed that they didn't have alternatives to cow milk, so the coffee options and smoothies are not suitable. There's delicious juices however, so you'll not be optionless.

Loved it - Edit
It‘s amazing! The owner opened only a month ago and made everything (lamps, plates, cups, tables,...) out of recycled materials. He is incredibly friendly and welcoming and loves to talk to you about his views on plastic pollution and recycling. Not on the menu, but he made us a vegan coconut coffee (best i had so far in Vietnam) and told us he would also make vegan banh mi (did not try). Definitely go there!

Amazing coffee - Edit
Came here for egg coffee, it was amazing! Their tea selection is great as well. Very cool space with lots of upcycled seats and tables over 4 floors. It's hidden down a back lane, so look for the sign on the street and head down the weird back lane, you won't regret it!

Nichts für Veganer - Edit
Wir wollten einen Kaffee und Kakao mit Kokosnussmilch statt normaler Milch bestellen. Obwohl auf der Karte Kokosnusskaffee angeboten wird, welcher aber klassischer Weise mit Kokosnussmilch, Kondensmilch und frischer Milch aufgeschäumt wird, war es nicht möglich, einen Kaffee mit ausschließlich Kokosnussmilch zu bestellen. Sehr sehr schade, denn das Cafe scheint noch ein echter Geheimtipp zu sein und das Interior ist einmalig!
Read morePros: Einmaliges Interior
Cons: Keine vegane Option , Leider große Sprachbarrieren

Great space, but be cautious. - Edit
Probably another example of a place thats great when the owner is there, but lacking when the owner is not.
Read moreFirst told me they didn't have coconut milk. Then told me the coconut coffee is made with coconut milk. I said I had a milk allergy. So I got a coconut latte, and they added chocolate syrup on top (why?!), then they made another with no chocolate syrup. Cool hidden place to visit though.
