Tiệm Mèo Đọc Sách Cafe
Tiệm Mèo Đọc Sách Cafe is a cat and book cafe at 5 Ngõ 12 Phan Văn Trường in Cầu Giấy, Hanoi, a short walk from the Nhà Xanh market in Dịch Vọng Hậu. It was opened by the team behind Meowbook, the cat and book cafe on Tây Sơn, and a sizeable group of resident cats roams its three narrow floors. Some are happy to curl up beside guests, while others keep their distance, especially when the cafe is busy. There is no entrance fee: visitors order a drink, from coffee and tea to juices, and can stay as long as they like. The second floor is lined with bookshelves, and the cafe also has board games and ceramic figurine painting. The vintage-style rooms are popular with students who come to study or work, so seating gets tight at peak times, and motorbike parking in the lane is limited.

Tiệm Cà Phê Mèo JennyMiaw
Hanoi1.3 mi / 2.1 km
Tiệm Cà Phê Mèo JennyMiaw is a cat cafe at 1144 Đường Láng in Láng, Đống Đa, Hanoi, and the first of two JennyMiaw branches; the second is on Nguyễn Ngọc Nại in Phương Liệt. More than 30 cats live with the group, most of them pedigree breeds: British Shorthairs and Longhairs, Ragdolls, Munchkins, Bengals, Maine Coons, Siamese, golden British cats and a Somali, each listed by name on the cafe's website. Entry works on a single ticket that covers time with the cats plus unlimited drinks and snacks, and the cafe keeps a stack of board games for groups. The cats are clean, well groomed and lively, though many only come running when someone opens a packet of dried chicken treats, and staff are protective of them when guests get rough. The business also runs a bathing and grooming spa for dogs and cats.
Quán Kẻ Cót
Hanoi1.4 mi / 2.2 km
Quán Kẻ Cót is a traditional tea and coffee house with resident cats, at 17 Ngõ 113 Phố Yên Hòa in Cầu Giấy, Hanoi. It occupies the green front yard and rooms of the owners' family house, furnished rustically with wooden tables, brick walls and calligraphy, and it bills itself as a place for tea, coffee and art. Many of the cats were taken in by the owner from people who could no longer keep them. They are healthy, sleek and lively, roam freely between the garden and the tables, and are not made to entertain guests. There is no entrance fee: guests buy a drink to pet the cats, and cat food is sold cheaply for feeding them. The menu is simple and inexpensive, with pink milk tea, cocoa with pearls, avocado smoothies and bánh mì que. There is a TV room upstairs.

Drinks and light snacks are served, and families with children are frequent visitors, though the room can feel cramped and warm when it is busy. Katty used to be on Phạm Huy Thông by Ngọc Khánh lake before settling at its current address. Besides the cafe, the business runs a pet hotel and a grooming spa for dogs and cats.
