The city also has a growing specialty scene with third-wave pour-overs and single-origin beans.
Is Da Nang good for specialty coffee?
Yes — Da Nang has emerged as one of Vietnam's best specialty coffee cities. Places like XLIII Specialty Coffee, O2o First Roast, and Lighthouse are pushing Vietnamese beans to new heights alongside international origins. Vietnam is the world's second-largest coffee producer, and Da Nang's scene reflects both traditional robusta culture and modern specialty approaches.
How much does coffee cost in Da Nang?
Traditional Vietnamese coffee (cà phê phin) costs ₫15,000–₫30,000 ($0.60–$1.20 USD). Specialty pour-overs and espresso drinks range from ₫50,000–₫120,000 ($2–$5 USD). Even high-end specialty cafes like XLIII rarely exceed ₫150,000 ($6 USD). Da Nang is incredibly affordable for coffee lovers compared to Western cities.

Most cafes have reliable wifi and don't mind you staying for hours. The An Thượng area near the beach has the highest concentration of work-friendly cafes.
What is salt coffee (cà phê muối)?
Salt coffee (cà phê muối) is a Central Vietnamese specialty invented in Huế. It's made by whipping salt with fermented milk and cocoa powder into a frothy cream, which is then layered over strong Vietnamese drip coffee and served cold. It sounds unusual but the salt cuts the bitterness beautifully. Cà Phê Muối Huế on Nguyễn Văn Thoại is the best place to try it in Da Nang.
Which Da Nang coffee shop has the best atmosphere?
NAM House is widely considered Da Nang's most atmospheric cafe — it's a vintage time capsule filled with antiques, nostalgic decor, and a second floor that's perfect for Instagram. SẾU The Tearoom offers a serene Japanese-influenced space. For modern vibes, WONDERLUST's 3-story building and Brewman Coffee Concept's sleek design stand out.
