Oleoleo Coffee Books & Cats is a book-and-cat cafe at 63 Phố Trúc Bạch in Ba Đình, Hanoi, facing Trúc Bạch Lake, and the best known of the three Oleoleo cafes in the city. A large group of cats lives here, a mix of rescues and cats raised at the cafe since they were kittens, among them fluffy long-haired cats and a short-legged calico. Most are affectionate and will happily share an empty chair or a lap. There is no entry fee: visitors order a drink, with coffee around 50,000 VND in a September 2026 review, alongside slushies and matcha drinks, and soup treats can be bought for the cats. Tall bookshelves, plenty of board games and the lake view make it a favourite for reading, working and chatting, with tables outside by the water. Guest rooms upstairs are rented out to travellers, with a rooftop balcony over the lake.

Cat Coffee Train Street is a family-run cafe on Hanoi's Train Street, at No. 54 along the tracks in Hoàn Kiếm, where guests sit right beside the railway and wait for trains to squeeze past. It doubles as an informal cat cafe: the owner says the family keeps eight cats, four adults and four kittens, and she brings them out to the tables for visitors to pet. There is no entry fee; guests order from a long menu of egg coffee, avocado and matcha coffee, cheap beer, spring rolls and other Vietnamese dishes. The owners are known for their warmth with foreign visitors, and big football matches are sometimes shown on a large screen. Seats along the track fill up before the evening trains, so reviewers suggest arriving by mid-afternoon.
