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.

Ha ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌⁠Noi Cat Coffee: Good Cat Railway is a cat cafe at 29A Nguyễn Thái Học in Hanoi's Cửa Nam ward, beside the railway line near Train Street, with a window view of passing trains. The cats live in an upstairs room and include a big Maine Coon called Bigfoot, a short-legged cat and a tuxedo who meows a greeting at every new arrival, while staff take orders downstairs. Entry works through a combo: in 2026 reviews, 100,000 VND per person buys a drink and a snack with up to 90 minutes of play time, and there is an option to feed the cats. Drinks include salt coffee, orange coffee and teas. The cafe draws many foreign visitors exploring the Old Quarter and the railway, and its owners also run Bad Cat on Tràng Thi.

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.

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. Reviews from late August to early November 2026 repeatedly described sick kittens with crusty eyes and bald patches, thin cats and cats shut in a hot room without air conditioning.

theRainyCats ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​⁠is a tiny cafe on the second floor of an old collective housing block in ngõ 65 Vạn Bảo, in Ngọc Hà ward in the former Ba Đình district of Hanoi, furnished like a cosy apartment living room with warm lighting, sofas, high tables, board games and comics. Two or three plump resident cats live there; a reviewer in February 2026 counted three and noted that it is a cafe with cats rather than a cat cafe, and visitors don't always see them all. Drinks cost 40,000 to 60,000 VND in August 2026, with fresh juices and artichoke tea recommended, and water is free. The cafe is hard to find: visitors park in the block's courtyard for about 10,000 VND, of which the cafe has covered 5,000, walk about 50 metres to house 14A and climb the stairs opposite, under a black-cat sign; the entrance is unlit at night. Seats are few, so it is worth calling ahead at weekends. It opens daily from 9 AM to 10 PM.

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. It is open until 10:30 PM. Reviews in September and October 2026 described many cats with runny noses and fungal skin, sick cats kept among the others and a strong smell.
