  The view from Phansi Coffee is next level! You’re literally sitting above the clouds, surrounded by the stunning mountains and rice terraces of Sapa. It’s one of those spots where you just can’t stop taking photos. The vibe is super chill, the staff are lovely, and both the coffee and food are really good — fresh, tasty, and perfect for the setting. But honestly, that view steals the show. A must-visit if you’re in Sapa!

  When you’re looking for a cozy spot with a beautiful surrounding view, Phansi is definitely worth a visit. We went during sunset, and the sky looked like a pink painting. The coffee and food were great too. The only challenge is the walk downhill—but a little effort is the price of a stunning view. On the way back up, we got a help from the café’s scooter service, which made things much easier. I will definitely go back when I visit Sapa in the future. ❤️

  We initially went to another café up the hill, but after seeing the crowds and the entrance fee, we decided to leave. Just about 30 meters further, we spotted the sign for Phansi Coffee and decided to give it a try. It’s about a 10-minute walk downhill, but it’s absolutely worth it. The place is beautiful, peaceful, and offers stunning views. We loved it!

  Such a beautiful place!! ❤️❤️❤️ It's a hidden gem! 🫶 Minutes away from the Moana place, don't get discouraged, just follow the signs downhill, it's totally worthed! Not busy at all and with amazing views of the valley and rice terraces. Everything is quite new, beautifully decorated; they also offer accomodation and serve delicious local food. The staff is super friendly and speaks English. Would definitely recommend this over other cafes in the area. ❤️

  Absolutely loved the view from this café! I'm so glad we decided to stop by. While the drinks were just average, the breathtaking view more than made up for it. It's definitely worth visiting for the scenery alone.

  Their signature fresh fish hotpot is really delicious, and their service is also excellent. The only downside is that their restaurant is a bit out of the way — you have to walk a section of the road to get there. Grab can’t drop you off right at the door, and if you walk yourself, it takes more than ten minutes uphill to the main road. By that time, it’s already dark at night. But their boss is a really nice person — he got one of his staff to take us back up to the road entrance on a motorcycle. I would recommend going during the daytime though, so you can enjoy the beautiful scenery.

  I had an amazing experience at Phansi Coffee! The spring rolls were absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and easily some of the best I’ve had during my trip 😋 But the real highlight was the swing overlooking the rice fields 🌾 It’s set at a breathtaking height and offers a truly unique and slightly thrilling experience. The view is unforgettable and made for such a special moment — I’ll definitely remember it as one of the highlights of my time in Sapa. Highly recommend this place for both the food and the incredible atmosphere ✨🏞️

  Superb views for a relaxing day after exploring the city. Quiet location with a beautiful view of the sapa rice fields and great for sunset. French fries were not on the menu but you can ask them for it. 4 stars because they need to update their menu a little. It’s a bit misleading. Getting there: (cars don’t reach the cafe) Once you reach the location where your grabs drops you off, call the cafe and they will send a motorbike to pick you up. If you do not have a Vietnam phone to make the call, it’s better to ask the grab server or hotel reception for assistance. Otherwise, try walking towards the cafe (:
