Thai Binh rice field café offers visitors tranquil retreat

A small café on a rice field in the northern province of Thai Binh has given visitors a breath of rice-scented air and a taste of rural tranquillity at sunset.

The coffee shop has been operating for more than one month. It uses a wooden pushcart with a roof reminiscent of old northern-style tiles with tables and chairs.

Despite its small size, the pushcart contains all the essentials, including drink ingredients, brewing tools, cups, spoons, and an icebox.

The café opens daily from 5 pm to 10 pm, depending on the weather

The café owner said he had six years of experience running two previous cafés.

"Rice farming is still the backbone of Thai Binh. I grew up among the rice fields, while many young people today know little about this or have never experienced it. This inspired me to open this café to provide people with the calm of the countryside," he added.

Most of the visitors and customers to the café are young people.

Chu Thu Thuy, 20, from Thai Binh, found the café through social media, so she and her friend went there. The café also offers mosquito repellent and insect spray.

"Each sip of coffee amid rice fields is different from drinking it within four air-conditioned walls," Thuy noted.

The café closes on days when pesticides are used nearby to ensure safety.

The café offers familiar coffee, tea, and milk tea, along with rice-based options such as roasted rice water and roasted rice oolong tea, priced between VND 20,000 and 25,000.
