We Let Hanoi Locals Show Us Their City: Cafés, Neighbourhood & Where We Stayed

Hanoi has so many layers, and we wanted to go deeper than the usual tourist trail. So we reached out to our community, and they delivered. The cafés in this video came from two places, a local we met in our previous video, and friends from our social media community who are based right here in the city. Real recommendations from real people who call Hanoi home. And somewhere along the way, we ended up hanging out with them too. That's the Hanoi we want to show you. 📍 BySatori Serviced Apartments, Hanoi, Vietnam Local-recommended cafés/restaurants we visited: XOFA Café - the garden bistro locals actually go to, not just tourists All Day Café - a neighbourhood staple that earns its name Artemis Pastry - Hanoi's most beautiful pastry counter, hidden in plain sight LAC: Lost and Chill - where Hanoi locals spend their evenings Toka Coffee Shop - the one nobody outside the neighbourhood knows about 🎬 Shot on Lumix S1RII + Nikon Z5II Follow Us: Instagram: @yongandmike Threads: @yongandmike Facebook: Yong and Mike If you're curious about the gear we use, here are the links!
