  1. It’s very interesting to see the wide variety of cafe’s the world has to offer. I’m not sure how I feel about the whole “hipster” thing, I’ve seen a lot of negativity around it though. These all look like rather interesting places to visit anyway.

  2. Everyone loves a good coffee shop. Now a hipster coffee shop is what I’m here for, ha. These look and sound so cute! I’d love to visit, although I’d probably get tea or hot coco because I am not a huge fan of bitter and caffeinated chocolate! Lol, thanks for sharing.

  3. I love to find neat, local coffee shops instead of the big chains. They have such a different atmosphere about them!

  4. I like these coffee shops, they might not be too spacious but they all look adorable and cozy. I would like to do a coffee shop hopping in Vietnam!

  5. Again, I have never come to Hanoi so far. Yet. Hoa 10 Giờ- Floral and Book and Work Cafe Hanoi seem to be good places to go as I am a bookworm. Truth be told, coffee shops that have vintage style and many books just make my day.

  6. I’d like to try out any of these shops. I love all the pictures you use. They look so beautifull. I really like your idea. Thank you for all!!
