The Pencil Café

The space is compact but cozy, with basic decor, soft lighting, and a minimalist layout that makes it ideal for solo coffee dates, journaling, or simply watching the world go by. The outdoor seating spills gently onto the sidewalk, while the indoor area upstairs offers a more intimate, tucked-away vibe—perfect for reading or quiet conversation. The menu is small but satisfying, featuring Vietnamese coffee, espresso drinks, and a few creative options like coconut matcha cream. Each drink is served with care, and while the offerings aren’t flashy, they’re consistent and comforting—just like the space itself. The Pencil Café, located at 15 Lương Ngọc Quyến, Hoàn Kiếm, Hà Nội, is a petite, thoughtfully designed spot that feels like a quiet sketchbook brought to life. While its name might evoke images of creativity and simplicity, the experience here is all about calm, comfort, and a touch of charm. Open daily from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM, The Pencil Café isn’t trying to be the next viral hotspot. Instead, it leans into its quiet strengths: a peaceful atmosphere, a good cup of coffee, and a space that feels like a gentle pause in your day.
