Basic

The name “Basic” might suggest minimalism, but in Hanoi’s café culture, that often translates to clean design, curated drinks, and a vibe that invites slow moments. You might imagine soft lighting, warm wood textures, and ceramic cups cradling hand-poured brews while lo-fi beats drift through the air. 🎨✨ Imagined highlights could include: Vietnamese iced coffee and cold brew with citrus infusions Espresso drinks with coconut milk or cinnamon twists Light bites—banana bread, almond croissants, or seasonal fruit tarts Cozy corners with photogenic nooks and ambient music A mellow playlist drifting between acoustic folk and ambient jazz Mai Hắc Đế Street, The Basic Coffee is a cozy café where simplicity meets comfort and every sip feels like a quiet ritual. With its modest reviews and central location, it’s the kind of place that turns a casual visit into a mellow pause—perfect for solo journaling, quiet dates, or catching up with friends over cold brew and croissants. Whether you're wandering Hai Bà Trưng or chasing a quiet escape near Vincom Bà Triệu, The Basic Coffee offers a gentle pause in Hanoi’s specialty fold.
