Best cafés in Hanoi for workaholic people
Ha Phuong 11:46, 2017/04/25
With so many distractions and a terrible amount of noise, Hanoi can be a remarkably difficult place to lesson plan, article research and presentation prepare. It was time to get back to work and so we scanned the streets for the best laptop friendly café.
Work Cafe Hanoi

It’s easily accessible downtown and equipped with one of the most reliable WiFi systems in town, since the cafe doubles up as an office and collaborative work space. Other than its coffee, Work Cafe features one-of- a-kind selection of pastries that can’t be found anywhere else in the city, at very affordable prices.
It’s also worth checking out the design itself. Scandinavian at its core, but with touches of Vietnamese identity with books and magazines from popular Vietnamese authors and editorials. The work areas are spacious and well-equipped by any cafe standards.

You’ll also often find people hunkering down here with their laptops for long periods, so come on the earlier side if you plan to work. I would also be aware of the event schedule.

An add-on to the increasingly well-known Clickspace co-working office, Spacebar occupies the ground floor of a handsome modern mansion in the heart of Hanoi’s expat enclave. It’s quiet, laid-back, and there’s no need to worry about pesky monthly membership fees as co-owners Jason, Jody and CK aim to create somewhere suited to the more temperamental freelancer. Having only opened since April of 2015, Spacebar is still young and the owners are developing things as they go.
Drinks are also good, with decent coffee, great juices, and a healthy selection of alcoholic beverages that can be summoned should the day require it.

Without a coherent design concept, there is a somewhat disjointed feeling about Spacebar- the wooden tables are probably a little too bright for the industrial-chic chairs and they are still grappling with how to keep the walls alive. But if you spend some time here, you will see why certain decisions were made. The furniture pieces are all solid and practical, with broad and comfortable seating options to suit your mood and stress levels.
The music situation couldn’t be better. A careful selection of recognizable yet un- overplayed tunes played from the speakers just loud enough to be sensed, but not so loud that you can’t tune into your own audio library with some headphones instead.

Spacebar may have a little bit further to go, but for now things are already looking up.

Clickspace has come a long way since pioneering Hanoi co-working in 2013, but opening Spacebar is undoubtedly the best move yet in making the place more user friendly. Spacebar may have a little bit further to go, but for now things are already looking up.
