Great atmosphere - Edit
I had the tempeh sandwich which could have been a little bit more flavoursome. My girlfriend had the vegan lasagna which was sensational, I would definitely recommend it to all!

Pretty good - Edit
I ordered the tomato pasta, it was good, satisfying, but quite a bit of balsamic vinegar so quite sour.

Great - Edit
Great atmosphere, great staff. Definitely a place you stay a while at. LGBT-friendly space. The roof area was great. I had the vegan lasagna which wasn't as great as I'd hoped, but I got a lot of it. Lots of greens on the side too. Definitely worth the money. Has gluten-free options too, which is great. Mot of the people there seemed to be couples on date night.

Good western vegan options - Edit
Great if you feel like a break from Vietnamese food. Good atmosphere. Had the falafel sandwich and it was tasty. Menu had a vegan lasagne (among other options) which I wish I had a chance to try.

Enjoyed vegan breakfast here - Edit
Good options for a range of tastes here. The breakfast chia pudding with black rice and the beans and quinoa are great. It’s also a very nice, alternative setting with instruments to play and live music advertised.

Great veggie burger - Edit
Really good veggie bean burger, one of the best veggie burgers I’ve had since turning veggie 1 year ago. Highly recommend! The prices may be higher than traditional Vietnamese street food but still really reasonable and good quality in a really cute setting.

cute setting but overpriced - Edit
The setting is cute but the food was very expensive and overpriced and very underwhelming. We ordered the avo toast and it wasn't great at all (and we've had great ones in Vietnam.)

Cute spot - Edit
The service was excellent and the food was delicious. A bit expensive for the amount of food. They had run out of the tempeh which was the special of the day. Limited vegan options.

Lunch - Edit
We found this place in the nick of time - we were both starving and had tried 3 places before this but they’d all been closed for the day. We were so excited to finally sit down and ordered quickly. We both got the black bean burger. It comes with mayo so make sure to request no mayo if you are vegan. The burgers tasted wonderful, and the buns were delicious, too. Our only complaint was that we were expecting french fries with our meals but got salads instead. It wasn’t until the meal was placed in front of us that they told us the fryer was broken. The manager was very helpful in rectifying the situation - she gave us a discount on the food. Drinks: We ordered the ginger beer - good, and the mango lassee with soy - not very good in my opinion. The power kept going out while we were there which could definitely factor into our experience vs. other’s experiences.

Kept Coming Back - Edit
While in Hanoi for 5 days, I came here for breakfast twice and once for afternoon tea. The black rice and chia pudding is super good. They also have a very strong cold brew that has a chocolate flavour - so good! The prices are higher than street food but they have AC and good wifi. I really like this place and would definitely recommend it. The building is super cool as well.

Nice muesli and soy coffee - Edit
Asked for the oats on the breakfast menu to be vegan, was really nice. Coffee was good, although I asked for double shot. Rather expensive but it’s all really nice food so worth it!

Definitely a must try! - Edit
Several vegetarian options that can be made vegan. Really good service and English speaking staff. Cosy atmosphere especially in the night! Absolutely in love with this place! I got the green bean salad (without feta), homemade chips with salsa (make sure to eat them right away as the salsa make the chips soft) and a tempeh sandwich that were simply amazing! Can’t wait to be back next time I’m in Hanoi.

Quality food - Edit
I enjoyed my meal here. The patty on the veggie burger is vegan but not the bun and omit mayo. I loved their regular French fries and tempeh Rueben made vegan. Would go back.

Not many vegan options, confusing - Edit
Attention: we asked staff and they told us that they use refined sugar (which is not vegan at all) for making food and baked "vegan" cakes as well.. (?!)
Read more:-/
And I had not much choices actually.. :-/
The vegan pavlova (the only vegan dessert) was too sweet (because of adding too much refined sugar?) and I was wondering about the vegan creamy topping that I had eaten.. :( still think that creamy topping was hyper-sweet too and I was quite scared and could not finish my tiny portion of Pavlova (70k) because its taste was so close to dairy products. Frozen dark berries on top (which I was not eating) and some strawberry and kiwi slices. Maybe strawberry and kiwi were the safest parts of that pavlova..
However, the place was hippie and I loved that atmosphere where I could speak French again with other customers. Quite a good place for the community, but not really a right place to eat for vegans or the ones who search for healthy plant-based food.
#refined_sugar should be off the menu. Really.

great start for 1st meal in Hanoi - Edit
My friends and I had. Just reached Hanoi and wanted to have breakfast. Went here on Happy cow recommendation and loved it. We had the bircher museli and vegan lasangne. My non- vegetarian friends also got great options! The ambience and food is great. Must for everyone on Hanoi! 🤘🏻💜

Very nice atmosphere with a very nice green terrace. Some veggie options. I had the veggie burger with fries and was very good, though a bit over priced was a good size.

Decent vegan options - Edit
Had the Lentil Pasta and Mango Curry which were vegan. They were both pretty decent but could have used a pinch more of salt. Portions are pretty huge which justifies the slightly higher prices. Also got the chai tea which was a little thin and mild in flavour. Friendly bunch of staff and cool interior.

Lots of veggie options, only a few vegan but totally worth it as the meal was delicious! Big portions, excellent friendly service, & the slushies are a must at this place. Would definitely recommend this place along with the mango curry!

all around superb - Edit
very nice food with numerous vegan options. the Hanoi social club is famous in Hanoi. breakfast and falafel especially recommended. the service is a little slow at times but can be forgiven since I was told that street kids are given a chance here. try the Vietnamese coffee black. goes down like a thick cup of delicious dark chocolate.
