The Running Bean Nhà Thờ - Coffee and Brunch - Cafe in Hanoi
About This Place
Nhà Thờ Street runs along one of Hanoi's most recognizable landmarks, and The Running Bean has staked out a position there that translates into one of the stronger review tallies in the Old Quarter-adjacent café scene — 4.8 stars across nearly 4,000 Google reviews is a number that takes years of consistent execution to build. The name signals the focus: coffee and brunch, the two categories that define weekend mornings in this part of Hoan Kiem. The address puts it within easy walking distance of Hoan Kiem Lake and the cathedral, which means the clientele skews toward a mix of Hanoi residents who make this a regular stop and visitors who stumble onto it while exploring the district. That kind of dual audience tends to sharpen kitchens — menus that work for both regulars and first-timers rarely survive on novelty alone. What the rating suggests is that The Running Bean has found a formula that holds up across seasons and repeat visits. For anyone spending time in Hoan Kiem and looking for a café that earns its reputation rather than its foot traffic, this is a reliable anchor point for a morning or afternoon.
