  This place serves delicious coffee/beverages & fresh made-to-order breakfast dishes. The owner is very sweet & helpful. My partner & I stopped by for a light breakfast on our way to Bai Dinh Temple. Lin was very welcoming and made our order with love. She is also very knowledgeable of Ninh Binh, providing advice on the best order to sightsee to avoid peak tourist influxes and overrated landmarks. It was very enjoyable talking to Lin in the company of her cats, and the banana peanut butter overnight oats& muffin were delicious too. I recommend visiting if you pass by this area, a very pleasant way to relax & enjoy some fresh food and coffee.

  This place is amazing!!! Me and my partner visited twice while on vacation and got the chocolate muffin, banana muffin, egg coffee, and salt coffee between those two trips. Everything was nicely priced and extremely delicious. Some of the best coffee we have had in Vietnam, and the muffins are so fresh and yummy. Atmosphere is tranquil, and the cats are so cute! If visiting Ninh Binh, definitely stop by.

  Very cute cafe. The egg coffee wasn’t the greatest I’ve had (tasted more like a normal latte, the coconut coffee sounds much better) but the chocolate muffin was great (not as chocolatey as Western chocolate muffins but still similar), 60k each. They’ve got a lower & upper floor, and their 3 cats hang out with you (4th cat is currently at the vet). You can tell the cats are healthy, and the cat ‘Latte’ is a cuddler who was always cuddling with a patron. They’ve also got recommendations of where to go in Ninh Binh, great spot to start your stay here and decide where to go based on their many options. Highly recommend!

  We had a really good coconut coffee here, the cappuccino was also really good. They also have oat milk for the people who like it. The brownie with ice cream also tastes amazing. We would love to come again. And my cappuccino hat a great latte art 🥰

  The salted cream coffee hit all the right spots. The atmosphere was laid back and relaxing. Perfect rest stop after biking and also great place to start a day of biking around the town The owners share a lot of recos for your stay and i recommend following one of their suggested bike routes

  Very cute cafe and lovely owners! We had oat cappuccino and a salted coffee which the owner tried to make vegan for me (still yummy!). The banana muffin was super fluffy and moist and they also had granola bowls, overnight oats etc.! Lovely terrace with some cute cats! The owners also have some google maps lists you can scan with local tips for to dos in the area! He was really helpful in suggesting a nice biking route including a small boat when we skipped trang an due to crazy lines which we appreciated a lot!

  Cute cafe outside of Tam Coc with very nice coffee and one of the least touristy that I’ve seen. The prices are on par with the area. The owner is very friendly, speaks good English and, major bonus, she has 4 beautiful cats. They also have a board with a bunch of recommendations for notable places and sightseeing organized in Google Maps lists, which is a very nice touch. Also they have normal lo fi/jazzy music in the background and not the AI/edm trash that they often play at cafes in touristy areas.
