"Run by American Jeff Richardson and his Vietnamese partner, Truong Viet Binh, Café Moca is a busy establishment near the city center."
"For some good coffee and desserts, or to just sit, rest, and watch the world go by along busy Nha Tho Street, stop in at Moca Café, one of the city's popular traveler hangouts." Full review
"Moca is a trendy cafe that draws plenty of customers to savor its wide range of international cooking, with dishes ranging from Mexican to Bengali. "
"Located in the hip cathedral area, Moca’s huge picture windows are ideal for people-watching over a mug of the creamiest, frothiest café latte in town, and prices aren’t steep either."

To avoid them, head for the second floor and eat at low tables while sitting on floor cushions, or go up to the rooftop terrace on the fourth floor and enjoy views over the Temple of Literature.
