T22 Coffee

In Hanoi, specialty cafés like T22 Coffee Roaster stand out for their precisely crafted brews, particularly the Orange Cold Brew and Matcha Latte, served in a sleek yet welcoming space. Meanwhile, Godmother Café is perfect for those seeking an elegant brunch experience, with its bright glass-walled interior and must-try Chiffon cake. For something more intimate, Meet You Café provides a cozy retreat with a well-curated coffee menu. On the other hand, an exciting evening out can be found at Parallel Cocktail Bar, where dim lighting and expertly crafted cocktails create a sophisticated atmosphere. Transitioning to Hue, I stayed at two homestays that emphasized comfort and cultural immersion. Chiuu Homestay, featuring modern, spacious rooms with a rooftop pool, offered a welcoming and well-equipped stay near key attractions. In contrast, Hachi Homestay & Spa immersed me in nature, surrounded by pomelo gardens near the Perfume River. The wood-built traditional architecture and herbal spa treatments added to the relaxing experience, while bike rentals made exploring the historical sites of Hue easy. Throughout my journey exploring Hanoi and Hue, I discovered a remarkable mix of coffee culture and tranquil accommodations. Hanoi’s café scene offers an artistic, stylish, and diverse range of coffee experiences, while Hue’s homestays provide a peaceful escape into nature and traditional architecture. From handcrafted coffee to tranquil homestays, this journey showcased the best of both cities. Each stop carried its own unique charm, proving why Vietnam remains a top destination for café culture and restful getaways.
