Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Beautiful cup of egg coffee and great hidden away surprise. You need to go up all the stairs just for a look at the different levels.

This place should be on “Top Things to do in Hanoi”. Beside egg coffee that is delicious, the inside garden is spectacular

Enter the clothing shop, pass the alley, pay for your coffee and climb the stairs to the rooftop cafe. Nice place for enjoying the sweetness of the egg coffee while remembering the bitterness of 20th century history.

Superb. Delicious gooey topping and extremely strong coffee. Well worth searching out and climbing to the top level. So good we went back the next day.

I don't like to be negative. But this place no where near lived up to its high rating. Always kinda suspicious when asked to pay up-front and turned out yo be correct. Horrible stale coffee that felt it had been reheated and my food never...arrived. When asked where my food was I was told I'd already eaten it ^^. Steel clear is my suggestionMore

Cafe was hidden behind a clothing store but it was not hard to find. Nice interior, every corner is picture worthy. A cooling place to chill on a hot sunny day in Hanoi and have a cup of egg coffee.

This is one of my favourite coffee spots in Hanoi. Sandwiched between 2 clothing shops, it's easy to miss. With strong Chinese influences and a serenity unlike the bustling streets of the Old Quarter, make your way up the narrow and winding staircases to the...highest floor to enjoy amazing views overlooking the Hoàn Kiếm Lake.More

A must if you wanna have egg coffee in a very unique hanoian place (second floor terrace, interior garden). I have to say that this place is beautiful. Note... egg coffee is not for everybody. I'm a sweets person and a coffee person, but for...some reason, I just didn't like egg coffee, so keep that in mind.More

Finding it is the first challenge as the sign is above the alley entrance at the back of a silk store that fronts the property. You walk into the alley /courtyard entrance where you are brusquely waved upstairs. Go to the very top for the...terrace view to the Hoan Kiem lake. Not a wide or great view but pleasant on a hot day. Waitresses are nice. Egg Coffee is sweet and creamy.More

Great view of the lake if you get to the top of the stairs! The egg coffee is really good and can compare with the best at Cafe Giang!

There isn't much up the rooftop, except a small glimpse of the lake. Coffee is ok. You need to climb a long set of stairs going up the rooftop area.

Beautiful hidden cafe near the lake and in old quarter. You go into a small alleyway, go past a massage place, until you see a counter to your left. Make your order, then start climbing up the floors, four of them! This will lead you...to a nice rooftop overlooking the lake. They have all sorts of coffee including egg coffee, and alcoholic drinks; tiger and Saigon beers available, and for reasonable prices. Recommended for a relaxing drink in downtown Hanoi!More

The atmosphere of this place is great and I imagine that is why it is scored so high. Service is bad, coffee is just okay, and the pho was filled with ants!! The beef was suspect. There is better coffee in Hanoi, and obviously better...food too.More

Came here directly after arriving in Hanoi, checking into our hotel and in need for some coffee and Phô. We found this place by pure chance (nearest one on Google maps) and were totally glad we did! At first we nearly missed it because it...is well hidden behind some silk/spa combi shop, with just a little sign pointing to the back with the name of this Cafe. But upon entering we were stunned by the beauty and peace of the inner courtyard. If you dare climbing 4 stories of small and winding stairs you're rewarded with an ok view of the lake, however if you're not sitting in the front its not worth it and even then you have another building in front of you blocking part of the view. We didn't come for that anyway, just looking for some peace and quiet after some stressful rainy days in Hoi An and Da Nang. That's why we chose our seats on the first story, on the little plateau built overlooking the courtyard, and it was perfect. Prices were okay-ish considering the location, and the food and drinks were good. I'd say it's worth stopping by for escaping the noise and stress of the old quarter for a while.More
