Fantastic service above and beyond

I have eaten here a couple of times. Had the salad which was delicious, the fried rice , also very good and a lovely hot banana cake which was my favourite. The lovely woman serving is so friendly. She went above and beyond and even gave me a lift back to my guesthouse on her electric scooter - now there is service for you !

Pros: Great service, Tasty food , Speak good English

Delicious food from a caring and passionate owner

Situated down the alley and up the stairs, an adorably cute setting where you’ll be taken very good care of. The good is amazing with a lot of attention and care.

Delicious food, great vibe, excellent service

We were so happy to find Lazy Bug on our trip to Cao Bang. The food was delicious (especially the tofu and seitan in everything. I don’t know how they prepare it but it’s some sorcery) and the banana bread for dessert was so yummy. The vibe in the restaurant is peaceful and lovely, and they had Jenga at the tables to play which was a fun addition to our visit. The host is truly the sweetest and most accommodating, and even delivered us food the next day before our long bus back. Thank you so much!

Great place

Just down a small alley, off the street is this little gem of a place.
A really nice welcoming place.
Most of the options are vegan, the food is delicious, especially the kimchi rice! I returned here repeatedly whilst in Cao Bang.

Pros: Food, Atmosphere , Family run business

Amazing food and family

We ate here everyday in Cao Bang. The food was very fresh and tasty. It was also such a treat to find vegan banana bread and it was probably the best we’ve ever had!

Amazing

Incredible food, incredible service! Came back every single time I was in Cao Bang. Delicious food, I tried everything on the menu and couldn’t decide which was the best. Also the banana cake is a must! Highly recommend🤗😍

Treasure in Cao Bang

We loved everything about it! The food is simply outstanding. We had both noodle soup and banana cake for dessert. The restaurant is in the familily home and the meals are cooked by them. Since the mom is Buddhist, the meals are naturally vegan, and full of flavor. Chau (the owner) speaks the best English I've heard in Vietnam and she is who baked the banana cake, which is excellent. We ended up talking for hours with her and we now have a new friend. I can't emphasize enough how great everything there is and we only wish we'd stay more days to repeat again.

Thank you Chau!

PS: the lemonade and coffee were amazing as well.

Pros: Noodle soup, Banana cake , Lemonade

Best vibe!

We came here for dinner and loved it! Really lovely vibe, and food was excellent too - the iced cacao was insane! It’s a bit difficult to find as it’s tucked away down an alley, so look out for the vegan sign on the main road and follow that.

Pros: Delicious food, Cheap, Lovely host

We loved this calming and beautiful cafe

The whole vibe of this cafe is beautiful. Down an alley, above the families house. The food is delicious and the owner has a small shop selling clothes, cards, jewellery. I love this place!

The banana bread was also delicious

Pros: fried rice, shop, ice coffee

Lazy bug our favourite place

Our favourite place in cao bang its an amazing family run restraunt. The food was absaloutley incredible. We went back several times and tried everything on the menu, all of which was incredibly tasty, you have to try their banana cake. The restraunt gives off a very cosy vibe where you can chat to new people and Chau who ran the restraunt was extremely friendly and helpful, she knew all the best spots around cao bang and helped us put together a travel plan and if all this wasn't reason enough to go to Lazy Bug there is an adorable dog Deng Deng who greets you when you arrive.

Pros: The food was delicious , Chau was the best host ever , Deng Deng their dog was absaloutley adorable

Unbelievable

The best Pho I have ever eaten, incredible dishes, and the kindest most welcoming family to boot. Cannot recommend enough!

The family who run the restaurant are vegan and so all the dishes are fully vegan. Truly exceptional, we visited many times during our stay in Cao Bang.

Pros: The amazing family, The spectacular Pho, Wonderful atmosphere
