5 mountain-view coffee shops in Sapa

Swing

'Mini Bali', 'Mini Da Lat' are the names that netizens describe Swing. This is a coffee complex - an attractive attraction in the journey to Sapa. Impressive mountain scenery, a series of giant statues imitating many cultural imprints such as the statue of K'Lang and H'Biang facing each other in the middle of the lake, evoking a love story in the famous mountain town, the life-supporting five-fingered hand, similar to the Golden Bridge in Da Nang, the characteristic swing in the tropical islands of Southeast Asia, the ladder to heaven based on the Korean movie that took away so many tears of the Millennials generation...

Café 1500

The name 1500 derives from the height of Café 1500 above sea level - 1500m. The view of café is unrivaled: facing the endless mountain ranges of the Northwest. Those who are passionate about watching clouds and catching snow in Sapa but have limited health and time can choose to 'chill' right at Café 1500. In addition to the creative drink menu, the afternoon tea set is extremely elegant and plausible. Furthermore, selfie fanatics often fall in love with Café 1500 at first sight because of the four-season flower paradise lined up on both sides of the road with rare ancient flower roots which cost up to hundreds of billions of dong. The Café 1500 simulates the European square with a fountain that acts as a wishing well, a super 'artistic' Mediterranean-style gazebo observatory. The café also has an indoor seating area which is designed in Indochinese style.

Gem Valley Art Gallery

You can find Gem Valley Art Gallery in Cat Cat Village, which is around 3km from the town center. The ambiance here is unique, both a resting place, a coffee shop, and a gallery, decorated to suit the taste of the two owners - a couple of Hanoi painters, who have left the bustling capital life to find a peaceful and natural place. The space here is quite spacious, with a row of rustic wooden tables on a long relaxing balcony, overlooking the Cat Cat valley. In the harvest season, Gem Valley is filled with the golden color of ripe rice and the sweet sunshine of autumn weather. From here, you can also zoom out to the majestic Hoang Lien Son, with a glimpse of the magical peak of Fansipan. Each table at Gem Valley often comes with a heater for guests to come and warm their hands and feet on cold days.
