Story

A listening room that serves coffee.

The room is staged as a music-listening room: a wall of vinyl LPs and album covers, a reel-to-reel tape machine, a boombox and vintage radios on and under the counter. The bar is a stage — every drink is weighed pour by pour on the black digital scale, milk then coffee then coconut cream, while the records play behind the counter.

Upstairs, a nook with a floral painting and a reel-to-reel machine keeps the listening-room mood going after the cup is finished. The window tables with striped blinds are where regulars work — laptops open, greenery outside, the room quiet around them.

“Chốn cafe chạy deadline yên tĩnh ngay trung tâm” — a quiet place to run deadlines, right in the centre.

“Tìm cafe làm việc mình đều ưu tiên những quán có cửa sổ thoáng, đặc biệt là phải yên tĩnh ấm cúng” — airy windows first, and above all quiet and cosy.
