Place Hanoi's Retro Coffee Shops: A Step Back in Time

[admin]

The dimly lit "Tối Mờ" coffee shop in Hanoi uses oil lamps and a wood-burning stove as décor.

From the outside, the "Trà Nhà Cổ" (Old House Tea) shop at 23 Chau Long Street (Ba Dinh District, Hanoi) stands out from its surroundings. Its mossy tiled roof, aged wooden doors, and dim lighting evoke the image of an ancient house. This unique exterior draws curious passersby to stop and explore.

Stepping inside, visitors are surprised by the scenes reminiscent of old Vietnamese villages: a wood-burning stove, a water ladle hanging neatly on a wall of rustic red bricks, and more.

The shop's ambiance is like stepping back in time. A glowing ember in the corner radiates a familiar warmth; an old wooden cabinet displays the marks of time. Every object, from the water ladle to a chipped rice jar, evokes memories of the past.
