I did it again. I spent $234 in Hanoi cafés over 1 months to find the best places to work from. Here's my full list.
I spend a whole month in Hanoi (beside of one weekend in Ninh Binh, beautiful place btw) to finde the best places for work. Like my last post for Da Nang I tracked everything: WiFi speed (actual speed tests, not "it was fine"), food, AC, how long I could comfortably stay, power outlets, etc.
Total damage: 6.13 million VND (~€202 / $234). Worth it? You decide.
A few highlights:
- Mono Coffee Labs: 3 cafes in Hanoi. One has food as well. Love the cozy environment. Very instagrammable.
- Tranquil Books & Coffee: This is my favorite. Like Mono Coffee Lab, there are 4 Tranquil Cafes in Hanoi. I visited only two locations. My favorite is Tranquil at 5 Nguyễn Quang Bích. It has a Japanese-style area upstairs. A lot of books you can take and read in a cozy corner.
- Hidden Alley: Hidden behind a long corridor and a small backyard. No food, but good coffee and very kind staff. Not crowded and chill vibe.
- briefly on earth coffee: Chill cafe, delicious cake, long opening hours, and a very cute cat.

Happy to answer questions about specific cafés or areas in Hanoi. And if you have favorites I missed, tell me. I'll check them out next time.
