Xoan Tây is a cafe tucked away in a rather hidden location. Despite having passed by this street hundreds of times, I never knew of its existence until my friend introduced it to me. The cafe is situated deep within a small alley that few people venture into, but once you discover it, you're likely to return many times.
I visited Xoan Tây on a scorching 40-degree day when the power was out. My friend told me that this place was always cool, and it truly lived up to that promise. The space at Xoan Tây is very airy and spacious, decorated with various types of plants.
This cafe uses industrial air conditioning and mist fans to cool the large room, which provides a refreshing atmosphere even on the hottest days.
Xoan Tây has two floors. The first floor houses the cashier counter and a few tables and chairs for customers. However, most people, including myself, chose to sit on the second floor for more quiet.Here I saw many office workers carrying laptops, suggesting this place is ideal for those who like quiet or need a workspace.
I ordered a warm red apple tea and a roasted milk tea. The red apple tea is very healthy, with a subtle fragrance of peach tea mixed with red apple, creating a delightful flavor that's good for the skin and body. The roasted milk tea was sweeter, with a rich, creamy cheese foam. Though I couldn’t taste much of the tea, the rich milk flavor with toppings of chewy black sugar jelly and sweet black pearls were worth trying. The drinks are reasonably priced, ranging from 35,000 VND to 45,000 VND, about 1.5 to 1.8 usd
My experience at Xoan Tây was truly impressive. From the spacious, cool environment to the delightful drinks, everything made me feel comfortable and satisfied. I will definitely return many times in the future.
