Hanoi: Unique cave cafe, customers line up to experience

The restaurant is located on Nguyen Dinh Thi Street, Tay Ho, Hanoi, attracting the attention of many diners thanks to its unique design with 4 floors in cave style.

From afar, the restaurant looks like a miniature corner of nature, an "artificial mountain" by West Lake, both unique and blending in with the surrounding landscape.

The entire structure has a rugged structure, like artificial stone blocks stacked on top of each other, creating the feeling of a cliff rising up in the middle of the urban landscape. The natural curves help the restaurant blend into the cool green space of West Lake.

In addition to the cave space inside, the shop has a sidewalk seating area right on the first floor, creating an airy coffee experience.

As soon as you enter the restaurant, you will immediately feel the bustling and vibrant atmosphere. People line up in long lines, waiting for their turn to order.

Bao Ngoc (born 2006), a store employee, said it took the store 3 months to complete this project. The store used reinforced cement as the main material for the walls and ceiling, all of which were built by hand.

Ngoc also revealed that the amount of cement used to decorate the shop is enough to build a house with an area of ​​1,000 square meters.

The entrance to the floors is designed like entering a large cave with undulating stone walls, creating a realistic feeling like entering a real cave. The soft yellow light from the LED lights shines into the crevices of the rocks, making the space more mysterious.

The 2nd and 3rd floors of the restaurant are designed in a unique cave style with windows that welcome natural light, creating the feeling of entering a mysterious world in the heart of the city.

Dieu Anh (born in 1986) learned about the coffee shop through social media and decided to visit. She commented that although the price of drinks is not cheap, it is still suitable for the general level of shops along West Lake. The big plus point of the shop is the beautiful view, bringing a relaxing space for customers.

However, Dieu Anh said the second floor of the restaurant was smaller than she had imagined. "When I first read the reviews, I thought the space would be larger, which is completely different from reality," she shared.

The restaurant is decorated with fake moss and wall lamps, creating a mysterious feeling, close to nature. The walls and ceiling are shaped like natural cliffs, with the main color of brown-yellow, combined with warm yellow light, creating a cozy space.

The restaurant also has private corners for those who like to watch people passing by, enjoy the beauty of the streets or feel the tranquility of West Lake. When it is sunny, the stone surface reflects the light, making the restaurant even more prominent.

Passing by the shop, Viet Anh (left, born in 1996) was attracted by the unique cave-like design and decided to stop in to experience it. "I quite like the space here, it's both unique and fresh. I took the opportunity to invite my friend to come along to learn more about the new camera I just bought," Viet Anh said.

The rooftop of the restaurant has a view of the street and West Lake. The wooden tables and chairs are neatly arranged, suitable for those who like the outdoor atmosphere.

Not limited by stone walls like the two lower floors, the top floor offers a spacious feeling with an open view, seeing the whole West Lake.

Lan Anh (right, born in 1993) is a person who loves to experience unique coffee spaces and said that she often looks for new places to visit. Lan Anh learned about the shop through TikTok and was quickly attracted by this cave-style design space.

"To get the desired photos, my friend and I spent an hour doing our makeup before leaving for the shop. Although we had to travel 10km in light drizzle, I was able to enjoy the beautiful space and take memorable photos at the shop," Lan Anh said.

Having a love for coffee shops along West Lake, Vu Thi Thuy (born in 2002) learned about the shop through social media and invited her friends to experience it.

"The space of the shop is beautiful, with a clear view of the lake, and drinks are reasonably priced. However, the stairs to the top floor are a bit difficult to climb and slippery, so I have to be very careful to avoid falling," Thuy said.
