About Coffee Cat

Soft jazz melodies float through the warmly lit space where Coffee Cat creates a welcoming ambiance that encourages lingering over drinks. The combination of textured wood and lush greenery lends a cozy, relaxed vibe, inviting casual conversations or quiet moments alone. Occasionally, a barista’s cheerful nod punctuates the calm with genuine attentiveness, adding a subtle human warmth to the otherwise tranquil atmosphere. Photographs shared online capture this aesthetic well, though the real experience is richer in its gentle clinks of cups and murmured exchanges.

Among the variety of offerings found on the Coffee Cat menu, the rich Vietnamese iced coffee stands out, balancing boldness with a creamy smoothness that many local favorites aspire to but seldom replicate. Little surprises appear, such as a lightly toasted brioche alongside the espresso or seasonal syrups that refresh the palate. Not all desserts maintain the same finesse, however, occasionally feeling overshadowed by the expertly crafted drinks. While typical reviews highlight the consistency of the coffee itself, some suggest the food pairings could benefit from more creative refinement.

The near absence of bustling crowds results in an unhurried rhythm that suits study sessions or casual meetups, though its quietness might feel too subdued during peak daylight hours. The location in Van Lam, Hoa Lu District, offers a respite from the busier scenes nearby, appealing to those seeking a peaceful escape framed by modest prices. The Coffee Cat restaurant balances well between a community hub and a discreet nook, resulting in an experience remembered more for its comforting quiet and well-poured coffee than flashy innovation or complex flavor journeys.

I can confidently say it's a 100% recommendation. The first thing that caught our attention was the cats, not knowing that their food would be really good. Plus, the welcoming attention. Vietnamese people are super warm and helpful. At first, we went to another place, but it was under renovation. Then, the owner brought us to this amazing place — a great example of how they work as a community.

They take amazing care of the cats, you can tell how well loved they are. Had fried rice, fried pho and lemongrass tofu. Everything was too sweet for our palate but otherwise enjoyable

This is an amazing place. We stumbled across it walking from our hotel and have been back several times. Beautiful setting looking out over the lake and hills. Very close to the centre of Tam Coc where the boat rides go from. The food is outstanding. Had many dishes from prawns to noodles to rice and spring rolls are the best. The family are so friendly and showed us some kittens that were only 3 weeks old. The cats are very socialised and happy to be petted, though if you don’t like cats they are not a problem. They are well fed and looked after by this lovely family. A great experience all at a great price too. I would definitely recommend.

We came here twice during our three day stay. It was such a unique and adorable experience. The cats are super cute, obviously very friendly with one another and the staff is super accommodating and friendly as well. 10/10 experience! My cat passed away at home the day we went, and having a kitten sleep on my lap for 2 hours was really healing! Thank you

This is my favourite place in Tam Coc. The staff ans cats are so lovely and cute, the coffee is fantastic (didn't eat here) and the view is stunning. I got to meet the little girls and one of them joined me for a lovely walk in the area. Thanks Tina!

Best experience for cat lovers! Wanted a coffee place and stumbled across this fanatic open cat cafe so the kitties can come and go as they please but so happy to have a lap to sit on. Had a great egg and bacon banh mi as well as duck and rice. People are so lovely as well as the month old kitten they have!

We really enjoyed our time here! The beautiful view and the many friendly cats made for a unique and relaxing experience. I had the iced coconut coffee and pineapple fried rice—both were absolutely delicious, 10/10! My husband ordered the mushroom pho and really enjoyed it as well.
