Hanoi · 0.2 mi / 0.3 km

Ha Noi Cat Coffee: Bad Cat is a small cat cafe down a narrow alley at 48B Tràng Thi in Hoàn Kiếm, Hanoi, a short walk from Hoàn Kiếm Lake. Around a dozen cats share one air-conditioned room, a mix of breeds that includes Persians, a Munchkin and a Maine Coon, and kittens are sometimes brought out to play. Staff present many of the cats as rescues. A visit is sold as a combo: in 2026 reviews, 100,000 VND per person covers a drink, a snack and up to two hours with the cats, and pâté can be bought to feed them. Drinks include Vietnamese coffee, coconut coffee, salt coffee and fruit teas. The cats are most playful in the morning and tend to sleep through the afternoon and evening. The cafe has the same owners as Good Cat Railway on Nguyễn Thái Học, near Train Street.

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.

iPET Cafe is a cat cafe in a narrow house at 56 Thợ Nhuộm in Hoàn Kiếm, Hanoi, a few blocks south-west of Hoàn Kiếm Lake. It is one of three branches of iPET, a pet business whose other sites on Quan Hoa and Nguyễn Xiển offer grooming, a pet hotel and a pet shop. The ground floor is a regular cafe, and guests buy a ticket to go up to the cat rooms, which a September 2026 review put at 100,000 VND including a tube of cat treats. The top-floor room has floor cushions and cat toys and is home to many young cats and kittens, which the cafe says are rescues. The stairs to the top are steep and low, and staff advise against feeding the cats by hand. The cafe opened in summer 2026 and is popular with families and foreign visitors.

Bastet's Home Trung Phụng is the second branch of one of Hanoi's longest-running cat cafes, which first opened in Hà Đông in 2014. Opened in 2022, this branch sits in the B42 apartment block off Ngõ Cống Trắng near Khâm Thiên in Đống Đa. Guests are seated across three floors, and the cafe says it keeps more than 30 cats, rising to over 60 at busy times, from tiny kittens to large adults of local and foreign breeds; most of them stay on the first floor. There is no charge for playing with the cats: visitors order food and drinks, with drinks around 30,000 to 45,000 VND in 2026 reviews. Shoes come off at the entrance and slippers are provided. The cafe stops admitting new guests at around 8 PM, although it stays open later.

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.

Ban Công Nam Đồng is a tiny cat cafe on the second floor of an old apartment block at B1 Trần Hữu Tước in Nam Đồng, Đống Đa, Hanoi, with a balcony looking out over the lake. There is no sign: take staircase 3 to the second floor, turn left and walk to the building near the end. The cafe opened in spring 2026 and keeps about five chubby, smooth-coated cats that wander between the tables, although some go out to play during the day. It works like an ordinary cafe, with drinks and simple dishes at around 30,000 VND, and the owner is welcoming to children. The quiet, home-like setting suits people who want a private corner and a few cats rather than a busy, crowded cat cafe.
