  We stopped by this café late in the evening after dinner, before heading back to our accommodation. We had Bạc Xỉu and an egg bánh mì. First of all, the atmosphere was excellent. It felt like the perfect place to end the day. The food doesn’t really need much evaluation—it was simply good. The kind and beautiful owner made us want to visit again. Although I was only here on a business trip, this café alone makes me want to return to Ninh Binh.

  Lovely, peaceful space to sit and watch the world go by! The owner is kind, friendly and the coffee is delicious. Have been back most days on my trip here, would highly recommend. Also tried the bánh mì which was 10/10.

  The most wonderful café in Tam Coc I came to this café not so much for the food as for the warm atmosphere! Wonderful women work here, their daughters help out, and their grandmother too! I would come and spend 3-4 hours in the café, working and simply enjoying the atmosphere. Peace, kindness, love and care! And, of course, delicious food prepared with love! I highly recommend this place!

  We really enjoyed Emm Coffee and came here three times, always choosing the coconut coffee ☺️ It was so good. We also got invited to paint as one of the girls from the family is very creative and draws a lot and has her drawings all over the cafe. The atmosphere was nice and welcoming and everyone was very friendly. Also they have food options.

  Emm Coffee is a quiet little spot outside the main Tam Coc–Bich Dong tourist zone—perfect when you want a break from the noise. The vibe is cozy and peaceful, and it’s easy to settle in and unwind. The family who runs it is the highlight. They’re incredibly warm and welcoming, and the café feels more like a home than a business. If you enjoy art, you’ll love the details here: one of their teenagers is a talented painter, and her work is displayed around the space. They even invited me to paint while I was there and later hung my painting on the wall. They also invited me to join them making bánh chưng (sticky rice cakes) for Lunar New Year, which felt like a rare and meaningful cultural experience. It stays open late and is noticeably quieter than most places in central Tam Coc, with soft music and a relaxing atmosphere—great if you don’t drink or just want a calm evening. The ginger tea is excellent too. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something genuine in Ninh Binh.

  Very cute little shop! Stopped by for a salted coffee (yumm!) and admired all the scenery and hand painted art. Highly recommend!

  The cafe is definitely a hidden a gem! We came here twice in one day for the salted coffee🥹 the owners are so welcoming and friendly. There were children painting and when they noticed we’re interested in painting they offered us color and paper to paint ourselves! This will definitely one of my favorite memories on my travel so far and I will never forget this gesture❤️ I had the best evening here, so 100/10 recommend:)
