On an area of about 2,000m2, the cafe is designed to recreate the architectural characteristics of Hanoi in the 60s.

Mr. Nguyen The Tung - co-owner of the coffee shop, said that he and another companion had to travel for 6 months in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to choose the theme "Stamps" and design.

Mr. Tung shared: "As a Northerner, I left my hometown since I was young to start a business in Binh Phuoc. Every time I return to Hanoi, my heart flutters with a very strange feeling that we will never forget. The coffee shop was born not only for business purposes, but also to ease my homesickness."

Inside the shop, the scene is reminiscent of the years 1975 - 1987, which was the end of the subsidy period in Vietnam.

“I was really impressed when I stepped into the shop. I have not had the opportunity to go to Hanoi, but the image of the capital is depicted in the cafe, which helps me see what the city is like. Outside, the traffic is busy, but sitting in the cafe, I feel very peaceful,” said Mr. Tien, a customer.
