Cafe de Mayfair sits near the book street and pedestrian street around Hoan Kiem Lake. It serves Vietnamese coffee, and in the evening several kinds of pho are added to the menu. The European-style interior holds five or six tables, with outdoor seating on Dinh Le Street and Nguyen Xi Street, and jazz music plays. The lake and a children's play area are close by, so the front of the cafe is loud and crowded.
