Artemis Pastry & Coffee Shop in Hanoi, Vietnam

Artemis Pastry at 20 Ngo Quyen is a polished pastry and coffee shop in Hanoi’s central Trang Tien area, close to Hoan Kiem Lake and the Opera House district. The brand focuses on visually elaborate French-style entremets and cakes combined with Vietnamese fruit flavors, alongside croissants, coffee, tea and other cafe drinks. It suits travelers who want a refined dessert stop, a quiet coffee break or a special cake rather than a traditional street-cafe experience. The main tradeoff is price: current menu items are positioned above basic local coffee-shop pricing, especially full entremet cakes, so Artemis is better understood as a modern patisserie.

The 20 Ngo Quyen branch remains current in 2026 and is listed by the operator as the first of several Hanoi locations. The brand also now operates branches at 67 Van Cao, 58 Trung Hoa and 210 Nguyen Huy Tuong/Nguy Nhu Kon Tum area according to the current contact page. That wider network makes branch identification important. This page is specifically for 20 Ngo Quyen, the central Hoan Kiem location that appears in the legacy record and in current restaurant directories.

Artemis describes its concept as a meeting point between French pastry technique and Vietnamese agricultural flavors. The current online menu supports that positioning with mousse-style entremets, layered gateaux, roll cakes, baked pastries and drinks. Examples visible in 2026 include berry-vanilla entremet, tropical fruit combinations, matcha-strawberry cake, tiramisu, truffle croissants and honey croissants. These examples help explain the style but should not be treated as a permanent inventory, since seasonal collections change.

Current drinks range from Vietnamese black and milk coffee to espresso, lattes, fruit teas and matcha-based options. The live menu lists simple Vietnamese coffees around 50,000 VND, espresso from the mid-40,000s and many specialty drinks around 70,000–75,000 VND. Full cakes are much more expensive, commonly several hundred thousand dong. These are current website prices as of this research cycle and can change, so visitors ordering a celebration cake should use the live product page or pre-order line.

The atmosphere is that of a contemporary pastry shop rather than a bakery counter designed only for takeaway. Current Tripadvisor and Restaurant Guru listings mention seating, Wi-Fi, digital payment and takeaway/delivery. Recent public photos and reviews emphasize a stylish interior and cake presentation. Because those details come partly from customer platforms, they should be read as experience indicators rather than promises about crowd levels or a particular seat.

Opening hours are well supported. Tripadvisor and Restaurant Guru currently list 07:00–23:00 every day at 20 Ngo Quyen. A separate business directory extends Friday through Sunday to 23:30, while Foody shows a shorter 22:00 close. The 07:00–23:00 schedule is the best-supported common denominator across current sources, but a very late visit should still be checked directly, especially if the goal is to buy a specific pastry rather than just sit for coffee.

The location is one of Artemis’s strengths. Ngo Quyen runs through the French Quarter side of central Hanoi, and the shop is only a short walk from major Hoan Kiem landmarks. Many travelers can reach it on foot from the lake, Trang Tien Plaza or the Opera House area. Taxi and ride-hailing are also easy from farther districts, though street traffic can slow the final approach at rush hour.

A simple coffee-and-cake visit can take 45–90 minutes. A longer meeting or work session may take more time, but the cafe’s appeal is primarily food and atmosphere rather than entertainment. Travelers buying a full cake should note that the current operator site supports pre-orders and delivery, with specific collection times entered during checkout. This is useful for birthdays or celebrations but is separate from casual walk-in cafe service.

Recent independent reviews are limited in number compared with larger Hanoi cafe chains, but current 2026 listings remain active and business-managed. Customer comments emphasize presentation, pastries and a calm interior. Individual taste judgments vary, and dessert sweetness or texture is subjective; the stronger factual point is that Artemis currently maintains a broad live menu and several branches, making the brand clearly active.

Accessibility information is incomplete. Restaurant Guru explicitly marks the 20 Ngo Quyen branch as not wheelchair accessible, while other current platforms do not provide enough detail to confirm the entrance or toilet layout. Visitors who require step-free access should contact the branch before traveling. Artemis is most rewarding as a modern Hanoi patisserie with current, clearly priced products and a central location—an easy stop for pastry and coffee, but not a replacement for traditional Vietnamese cafe culture.

The branch also works well for travelers who need a pre-ordered cake rather than only a cafe stop. Artemis’s current checkout flow allows customers to choose collection details and delivery, while the operator advertises delivery support within Hanoi. Those services are useful for birthdays and hotel celebrations, but they require more planning than buying an individual pastry from the display case. A custom message, size or flavor should be ordered in advance rather than requested at the last minute.
