LEVA Coffee - The Balcony is a beloved cafe in Hanoi's vibrant Old Quarter, situated on a small street known for its traditional trades. The cafe's name comes from its standout feature: a small balcony that offers a bird's-eye view of the lively street below, where you can watch motorbikes weave through the narrow lanes. The interior is cozy and rustic, with wooden furniture and local artwork adorning the walls. The menu focuses on Vietnamese coffee, including the classic egg coffee and coconut coffee, as well as espresso-based drinks. The staff is friendly and often explains the traditional preparation methods. What makes LEVA special is its blend of authenticity and comfort, providing a peaceful retreat from the city's hustle while still being immersed in its energy.
