🚉 Coffee by the Tracks – A Serene Night at Hoa Xa Cafe, Hanoi

While exploring Hanoi at night, I chanced upon Hoa Xa Cafe, a quiet little spot tucked right beside the railway station. It wasn’t planned, but sometimes the best finds are the ones you stumble upon—and this one definitely fits that category. I visited late in the evening, so I couldn’t really appreciate the view of the station through the windows. But luck was on my side—midway through my coffee, a train rumbled past, just a few meters away. I quickly stepped outside and managed to snap some great pics and videos. That unexpected moment added a real spark to the visit. The café itself had a chill, understated vibe, with a setup that would likely feel even more special during the day, when you can see the tracks and surrounding area clearly through the large glass windows. As for the coffee, it was smooth and well-balanced, though it seemed to be made from arabica beans rather than the more typical local robusta blend. Still, it was enjoyable and served its purpose as a cozy pit stop. ⸻ 💬 Final Verdict: Hoa Xa Cafe is a cool little gem, especially for train lovers or anyone looking for a unique, quiet place to unwind in Hanoi. The occasional train passing just outside is a rare treat—daytime visits would offer a better view, but even at night, it had its charm. #summervacay #hoaxacafe #hanoicafes #coffeebythetracks #hiddengemshanoi #hanoiatnight #vietnamcafeculture #hanoicoffeespots #traincafehanoi #unexpectedfinds #cafewithaview #hanoi #hanoitrip #vietnam #vietnamtrip
