From the white gate at 218/10 to the red square on the whitewashed wall — four stops inside this red room.
The red square is not decoration hung up for fun — it is the room's fixed artwork, a Rothko of alley 218/10. The whitewashed wall plays the paper, and the red square is the first brushstroke that sets the whole space.
Past the white gate is a tiny but shaded green courtyard: pebbles underfoot, potted trees everywhere, round wooden tables with yellow coasters and red plates. Guests work here through midday, and when the string lights come on the yard becomes an outdoor living room.
Inside is a corner for the cinema-obsessed: an art bookshelf, film posters — including THE BRUTALIST — and a paper pendant lamp hanging like a small moon.
The red bar is the café's heart: the espresso machine, the white grinder, shelves of mismatched glasses — and a hand-written sign that changes daily: Brownie, Rare Cheese Cake, Burnt Cheesecake, each 45.000đ–55.000đ, rotating daily.
