Tea and Tales is designed for families and people who love books, conversation, and slow afternoons. Our book collection is integrated throughout the space.
For younger readers, we offer an extensive children’s library with beautifully illustrated picture books, timeless classics, and stories chosen to inspire curiosity and imagination. For adults, the collection is intentionally selective rather than overwhelming.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Absolutely not! Everyone is welcome to come in, browse, and read freely while visiting the tea room. Tea & Tales is a calm and welcoming third space for curious minds of all ages.
-
Certainly. We are a lending library afterall. Guests who would like to borrow books can become library members with a small membership fee that can be paid monthly or annually. The fee helps us maintain the collection, encourage returns, and replace books if they are damaged or lost.
-
Absolutely. We believe access to good books shouldn’t depend on where you live. Members across Vietnam can borrow from our collection by post and enjoy the same carefully chosen shelves, wherever they are.
-
Whilst we do sell the most scrumptious and homely bites in the tea room, we kindly ask guests not to eat and read at the same time. This helps us preserve the books for future readers and keeps the library comfortable for everyone.
-
Absolutely. We warmly welcome thoughtful book donations. We are also happy to purchase books that fit the spirit of the library and are not already part of the collection.
-
Respectful young readers are very welcome. We love seeing families enjoy books together, and we simply ask parents to help children handle the collection with care and keep the space peaceful for other guests.

You’re welcome to read, write, and spend quiet time in the space. We aim to maintain a calm and restorative atmosphere rather than a busy co-working environment.
