An’garden Café has two floors and a mezzanine that’s ideal for those looking for a quiet place to work. A wooden-framed curtain on the ceiling partly blocks natural light, while the top floor receives the most sunlight during the day. The ground floor contains a small pond with aquatic plants, hidden under the staircase. By providing a serene environment amidst the noisy streets of Hanoi, the café provides a space for visitors to relax, enjoy the fragrance of coffee, and take in the picturesque surroundings.
