Milk & Honey Tay Ho

Great cafe. Three levels, down a quiet street, in Tay Ho, Hanoi. Owner present, everyday. Quality food and staff serving fresh food everyday. Breads and cakes made in house. -- Eggs Benedict salmon and a small coffee. 325,000 VND.

Nice place with kind stuff. I wasn’t a big fan of the smoothie because it was a little too sour for my taste. The staff explained that it was supposed to taste that way, but still offered to remake it or give me a refund. They weren’t obligated to do so, but I really appreciated how they listened to my feedback and tried to find a solution. That kind of customer service won me over, and it’s actually what made me come back for a second visit!

The food is absolutely delicious — no doubt about it! I ordered the Salmon Eggs Benedict, Overnight Oats topped with banana, and an A.B.C. drink. The staff accidentally forgot my drink, but what I really appreciated was how sweetly they handled it: they apologized and gave me the drink for free because it was served late.

And that wasn’t all. When I paid the bill, they even gave me 2 cookies along with another sincere apology. Truly outstanding service! I can totally understand why this place is always so busy!

So I used to love coming here but the last few times have not been great. I have given feedback on every occasion and honestly it hasnt changed. Today was the final straw and I probably wont return. The things that happened aren't huge things but adding up these today and all of the other times made me compelled to finally write this.

I ordered smoked salmon benedict no muffin as I took my own gluten free banh mi. The last few times I've done this have been fine although a little confusing for staff. I only started doing this as they used to let you swap to hash brown to be gluten free but the last few times they've said no. They brought the bread back before my food and had clearly tried to grill it before cutting it meaning it had gone hard. I asked them to serve it with the food. Then they brought the food, no eggs and bread was cut open but not toasted. Asked them to toast it and include the eggs, they brought it back, hollandaise was thick and congealed and the bread was still not toasted but was hard and inedible.

My husband had the smoked salmon scrambled eggs and said it was also disappointing.

Honestly for the price and the fact I've had so many issues here that could be easily fixed I wont be returning.

We had a pretty bad experience here. We ordered an English breakfast, but the bacon was overcooked. For dessert, the brownies were terrible. It was completely dry, and you could still feel the hard chunks of chocolate inside.
I asked for an extra scoop of vanilla ice cream, but I received my brownies with coconut ice cream instead. When we went downstairs to pay, I brought up the issue with my food. The staff member simply explained that they only had coconut ice cream available that day, but the waiter hadn’t informed me of this beforehand.
To make matters worse, they generously offered us a 10% discount on the brownies, which amounted to just 6,000 VND. We were honestly quite stunned by how the situation was handled.
I hope this was just a one time experience and that it won’t happen again.

This place has the most authentic Western breakfast that I've been able to find since I've been here. If you're from the West, you know we do brunch! Brunch is a thing. Brunch is one of the main things. And it's really hard to find places that do western brunch well.

But this place? Eggs Benedict, waffles, pancakes, coffee, juice– like what do you want? They got it. I do wish that they had more gluten-free options. But that doesn't stop me.

The place is huge and it's definitely set up for large groups. I always go by myself but most of the tables are for at least two to four people. Definitely a place for a group. I've never tried a single bad dish here. The service is fantastic. Just excellent. Definitely my favorite breakfast place in Hanoi thus far.

Absolutely incredible! From the delicious mocha, to the salty French dip, and finally the sweet waffles the entire meal was incredible! This resturaunt has a huge amount of space with open air seating, staff were incredibly friendly and gave great suggestions. 5/5!

Absolutely loved this place! The pancakes were delicious, and the Eggs Benedict were perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The atmosphere is beautiful, and the service was absolutely lovely friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Everything made for a wonderful brunch experience. I’d definitely come back and highly recommend it!

Nice cafe, excellent service. Had the Angus burger which was well made but a few gristly bits.
Otherwise the food and drinks were really good!

Very tasty food - throughly enjoyed our brunch in terms of flavour, however, the portions are too small! It looks like they used to be bigger from looking at previous reviews and their photos (the brunch waffles were too small). We had to order a second dish to share as we were still hungry, fabulous food but expensive for the portion size. Friendly service, but particularly slow. My boyfriend’s dish came way before mine.

Visited 3 days in a row — that says it all! Cozy atmosphere, great coffee, super friendly and attentive staff, and absolutely amazing food. The salmon eggs benedict were the best, the bacon eggs benedict was delicious, the brownie was perfect, and the blueberry pancakes were fluffy and incredible. Highly recommend!

The quality of food (American breakfast) took me back to the diner food I enjoy back home in the states. It's hearty and hits the spot just right. Pork, potato hash and pancakes all taste as I remember them..

Service was fine. It was a raining and smoggy day out so it may have impacted attendance.

American was decent, I wish we could have a free refill 😂

Atmosphere is great, wow! Love the wooden decor and size of tables.

Overall pricing was fair, not somewhere I would go all the time. But for special occasions and catching up with friends? You bet!

English breakfast was a disappointment. Thick bacon looks and tastes more of cured ham cut into 3 small pieces, with one slice inedible because it’s too tough and rubbery. Hash browns- meh! I had my 70% leftovers to take away, the staff just dumped everything even though I stacked them together to avoid greasing the other food. Well…

Lovely food! I live nearby so it happens that I have breakfast here almost daily with my PC. Not a single time got disappointed. Nice selection of healthy and more filling dishes, from classics like Egg Benedict to English / US brekkie to healthy options such as porridge, fruits. They also have a huge selection of scones. My favorite dish so far was Mediterranean sandwich. The coffee is fantastic too 👏 Recommend!

Delightful spot in Tay Ho with charm, great service, and yummy food.
They say you eat with your eyes first, and the eggs Benedict and waffles was gorgeous! (Brunch waffles)
Chorizo was mild for those that don't like spicy, and the combination was a perfect tasty experience.
The server was very nice and helpful to explain the coffee choices. 3 floors and a cute outdoor area with a view. If you want a window table, I would book ahead. Good for up to size 8 groups I think.
Will definitely be back to try more!

Absolutely awful experience here. We ordered overnight oats and were informed that they were out of that- but that was fine. Then ordered an American breakfast (which includes blueberry pancakes) to be told that they were also out of pancakes - all of them. A little disappointing but still okay. We asked to get French Toast instead, as it was actually cheaper on the menu than the pancakes. The waiter said we couldn’t substitute french toast for pancakes - excuse me? So they were out of pancakes AND charged us more to substitute the pancakes with French toast. We payed it, no big deal, but unspeakably rude.

Me and my friend really enjoyed this cafe we had to visit multiple times! The staff are so friendly and lovely! The food and drinks are top notch and the seating areas are amazing!

Ordered what you can imagine and the eggs Benedict is by far their best dish

Wonderful atmosphere. Great place to bring children. Food was delicious. Will be back!

Great brunch spot with friendly staff and a cozy atmosphere. The eggs Benedict were perfectly cooked, and the coffee was excellent. Highly recommended for a weekend brunch!

Visit this place a couple of times, foods great and you can definitely request things added/ on the side. The drinks are nice, their seatings are also very nice and spacious.
Staffs are friendly and kind.
Highly recommend for lazy weekend's mornings

Milk & Honey is a calm, thoughtfully designed café that strikes the right balance between comfort and quality. The coffee is consistently well-prepared, and the fresh pastries pair nicely with a quiet morning or focused work session. What sets it apart, though, is the food—burgers and sandwiches that are made with care, using fresh ingredients and well-balanced flavors. The atmosphere is welcoming without being loud, and the service is attentive yet unobtrusive. A dependable choice in Hanoi whether you’re looking to settle in with a good coffee or enjoy a casual, satisfying meal.

Very good cake compared to the price
It tastes really western style, compared to the usual Asian style bakeries
I like the carrots cake and the pie
Tea was normal, just plain tee bag and the cup doesn’t give off the afternoon tea vibe but they do refill and its only 70k for 1 pot
The ambience is nice

Very cozy and cute place with delicious breakfast and drinks ✨💖

The staff (quite easily) coerced me into giving a 5* review by bribing me with these 2 cute doggy stickers that look just like our doggies at home.
They didn't really need to bribe me though, as everything was great 😄 so yeah its a solid 5/5, or as Brendan would say: "I'd give it a perfect 5/7"

From personal experience, this cafe is absolutely beautiful, a truly wonderful place. The staff are incredibly kind and helpful to customers. You deserve all the appreciation and respect, and it's definitely worth visiting again.

My favorite coffee in Hanoi so far, the capuchino is great (not sour like most places around).
The atmosfir is lovely, very nice to sit around, work, and theres a lot of board games too...

Really friendly service, which is on par for Vietnam but the food could have been better executed. I ordered the chicken and waffles which looked really good but had no taste at all. The portions are good and the chicken was fresh and perfectly fried but had no seasoning. I would also recommend a hot(spicy)honey to liven this dish up. The London Fog tea was the absolute best thing about this experience it was beautiful and delicious.

This establishment has quickly become our go-to spot for weekend brunch. While it may not be situated near the lake, it boasts an abundance of trees and a delightful atmosphere. Our preferred seating area is on the balcony of the third floor. I particularly appreciate the location for its serene and cool ambiance. The service and food offerings are exceptional. Although the bruschetta is my favorite dish, the portion size is quite generous for a brunch item. If it could be reduced to about 2/3 of its current size, it would enhance the overall dining experience.

Food was great, yummy and filling. The atmosphere is ok but can be noisy if crowded and all start chit chat since the table is near to each other. All staff can speak english well. Coffee was good. They prepare some board games. They have a few floor for sitting.

The food was really good and the portions were big. Even though the place was busy, the food came out pretty fast. The space was cozy and comfortable. The only thing is the cake was a bit too sweet for my taste.

The scrambled eggs were incredibly soft and silky, a delightful contrast to the intensely flavorful sausage and perfectly juicy bacon. This was, without a doubt, a good English breakfast that hit all the right notes

I just don’t get it why drinks come already with sugar. How could you possibly know how sweet I want my matcha, tea… anything? If you’re doing this - you MUST state it in your menu. Normally, sugar comes in sticks for this very reason.

Edit: The staff replaced my drink. It would be beneficial, though, to update the menu, bring sugar on the side or train waiters to always ask whether sugar should be mixed in.

Good food and the space is cute but I didn’t appreciate being pressured into ordering a dish I didn’t want despite reiterating that a few times with the staff. The price is also a bit higher compared to other brunch spots in the area.

I had the scones and the brunch bruschetta which were delicious.

Absolutely fantastic food choices and taste was exemplary. Vegetarian option of Mediterranean bruschetta was out of this world. Pls visit braid location and ambience. The staff or probably they run this cafe are so polite and sweet. Cafe mocha best one I’ve had and the carrot coconut cake yummmmmmm

Price to quality ratio is lacking for me. Toasting bread on the grill looks sexy on their socials but isn't great in reality. Soggy bread with soggy toppings is sickly and sweet toppings on bread with the taste of the grill is pretty unpleasant. Just buy a toaster!
Their bakery items are decent.
Personally I wouldn't go back for the brunch.

Wow! We loved Milk and Honey. The coffee was well done, the House waffle was loaded with delicious fruits, syrup, nuts and whipped cream it was def a must try here. Lovely chill music as ND great space to chat and hangout. Felt like home ♥️ Super Kind patient and attentive staff.

The food was delicious but the wait was really long. They only came to tell us after half an hour they were busy and would be delayed. We waited about 45 minutes for pancakes and eggs Benedict. Would consider returning again but ask them first if they are busy before we sit down to avoid being disappointed about the long wait.

Was looking for French toast and decided to try this place. The coffee shop itself is very nice and cute, with a lovely balcony seating area.

I ordered the French toast and a cappuccino, and also picked up some scones to take away since they looked appealing. The cappuccino was just average—nothing special, just your regular cup.

Unfortunately, the French toast was tasteless. The brioche was dry, and the berries didn’t complement the dish. Overall, it felt more like a vague interpretation of French toast rather than the real thing.

I had the scones the next morning with my coffee, and again, they were very dry. I definitely know what good scones are like—and these weren’t it. They were crumbly, bland, and tasted more like plain American bread.

For the price, I think they could put more effort into what’s supposed to be their specialty.

On the positive side, the service was great—fast and friendly—so no complaints there. But I definitely won’t be coming back.

My cousin and I came in yesterday and this place is delicious. The staff is super nice and the food is great. Try the brunch waffles! They’re fantastic.

I came here twice, once to celebrate my birthday and once with friends. First, in terms of food, although I have only experienced two sweet dishes, French toast and pancake, compared to my initial thought that European food may not suit Asian tastes, the food is extremely flavorful, fresh and delicious. The drinks are also very filling compared to the price. 1 vote for the chef team here. Second, about the space, from the outside it looks small but when inside it is very spacious and comfortable for large groups of people. And finally, regarding the service attitude of the staff, the staff welcome guests very enthusiastically and attentively. When I first arrived, I didn't know what to eat and was introduced to many dishes that might suit my taste, including the above two dishes, which have become my favourites and I will try again. Besides, the service staff is very professional and dedicated, proving that the management here is quite good, compared to many restaurants I have been to. Specifically, I was quite impressed with a male staff, who seemed to be in charge of general duties and management here, very enthusiastic in communicating and helping customers as well as other staff! In general, the restaurant is quite ok, but on weekdays I find it a bit empty. Hopefully, people will know more about the restaurant, and I will come here to try more dishes like salty dishes!!!

Great food, especially the breakfast. Also had a big selection of games to play while there. However, the staff were lackadaisical at times, and the AC wasn’t very good.

The food at Milk & Honey is great and they offer very delicious brunch. With regards to the service though there is some room for improvement. The two times that we went the way tables were given to customers was very random disregarding reservation signs and then asking us to move again. The system could definitely be improved for better customer satisfaction and atmosphere.

I absolutely loved the Prosciutto Bruschetta. The only slight let down was the butter sourdough, which I found a bit average.

The setting is calm and peaceful, with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff, including the lovely security guard, were all incredibly kind and attentive. Thank you so much; I’ll definitely be back to try more from the menu.

The place looks good. The kind of place where every table is taking photos before anyone takes a bite.

But the food did not live up to it.

We waited a long time. When the dishes finally came, they arrived separately and neither was hot. It felt like the plates had been sitting forgotten in the kitchen.

I went with my wife and really wanted to like the place. But for the price, there are better spots nearby with better food and better service.

pretty interior, when i went it wasn't crowded so i enjoyed the quiet atmosphere ~

the workers are soft-spoken and they check up on you to see if the food's good or get you water🫰🏻

i got the french dip panini and the portion is pretty filling, the main dish itself is really great esp the sauce but the side fries can be improved

the prices are definitely not cheap, but i think occasionally it'd be fine to treat yourself here ☺️

Amazing food and great service. Some of the best hashbrowns and waffles I’ve had in Asia!

Still the best one in town so far.

Went for brunch and the place was great but noisy. The Vietnamese coffee was mild, there was too much milk and still too sweet (asked for reduced condensed milk).
The house waffle was spot on; slavery waffle was alright (something wasn't fresh as I had stomach discomfort after).

I recently visited a restaurant that caught my eye with its lovely decor. The ambiance was inviting, making it a great spot for brunch. I decided to order the Eggs Benedict, a personal favorite of mine. Unfortunately, the ham used in the dish didn't meet my expectations and detracted from the overall taste. However, the other ingredients were fresh, and the dish was well-presented. The service was prompt and friendly, and the coffee served alongside was excellent. Overall, while the ham was a letdown, the rest of the experience was very enjoyable.
