Where you sit

The upper floors suit solo visitors or small groups who want to sit quietly, away from the noise of the Old Quarter streets. Many Google Maps reviews carry the label 'Yên tĩnh, dễ trò chuyện' (quiet, easy to talk). The ground floor is right on the street so it is noisier.

The shop name, the address 22 Hàng Mắm, phone number, opening hours and coordinates come from the Google Maps profile, read in a browser by the operator on 16 Oct 2026. The name and phone number were cross-checked against the Bing place card the same day. Foody and ShopeeFood list the same name Swaha Coffee & Bar at 35A Nguyễn Hữu Huân, i.e. the second street frontage of the same corner house. The menu and drink prices come from ShopeeFood, read on 16 Oct 2026; these are delivery-channel prices and the page carries no update date. The space (three floors, floor seating by the window, glass overlooking two streets, quiet upper floors) is compiled from Google Maps reviews by multiple independent authors, mostly in 2025–2026. Excluded: the label ‘bar’, because no operator source confirms it; two reviews sharing the surname Bretschneider, which count as one source because of their promotional tone; Foody's average price; the Mindtrip listing; Restaurant Guru, because it only copies Google reviews. The shop may previously have been called ‘Lê La coffee’: a Facebook page at the same address has a latest post of 5 Feb 2024, and two reviews from around Oct 2025 use that name.
