Meowbook Café

Meowbook Café is a book-and-cat cafe at 116 Ngõ 169 Tây Sơn in Kim Liên, Đống Đa, Hanoi, close to the Trade Union University. Its cats were rescued from slaughterhouses and now live at the cafe: a group of soft-coated, well-fed cats, including a calico and a little grey cat, that are mostly calm and not keen on being picked up. There is no entry fee; guests order a drink, such as a matcha latte or salt coffee, and settle in. The ground floor is compact around the counter, while the second floor is roomier and suits studying or working, with shelves of books, many of them second-hand, and board games, and tarot readings have been held here. The cafe fills up at weekends. Meowbook also runs a second cat cafe, Tiệm Mèo Đọc Sách, on Phan Văn Trường in Cầu Giấy.
