Hey there, fellow travelers! Lisa here, your go-to travel blogger!

After my recent trip to Da Nang, I'm excited to share a memorable cafe near My Khe Beach that truly stood out.

This spot is quite the sensation on social media, especially Instagram, thanks to its stunning photo zones designed with a unique Dubai-inspired vibe.

Let me tell you all about Cua Ngo Cafe, just a stone's throw from Da Nang's beautiful My Khe Beach.

Just a heads-up: the cafe I visited is the 'Cafe Cua Ngo' shown on Google Maps. There's another 'Cua Ngo Cafe' near Han Market, but its ambiance might be different from the photos I'm sharing.

2. Cua Ngo Cafe Da Nang: Ambiance

Stepping into Cua Ngo Cafe, it felt like the building itself was sculpted from earth, creating a wonderfully warm and cozy atmosphere that immediately put me at ease.

Given its popularity on Instagram, I half-expected it to be packed, but the cafe is surprisingly spacious. Even with a good number of patrons, it felt relaxed and uncrowded.

I even spotted some locals enjoying the sunshine and a quiet moment, soaking in the relaxed vibe.

3. Cua Ngo Cafe: Photo Spots

While Cua Ngo Cafe is a beloved local spot, its fame among international tourists, especially from Korea, largely stems from its incredible Dubai-inspired photo zones!

Just follow the cafe corridor outside, and you'll discover a breathtaking photo spot with this unique aesthetic.

Of course, I couldn't resist snapping a few photos here myself! I visited around 3:00 PM on a weekday, and thankfully, it wasn't too crowded, so I had plenty of time to capture some great shots.

I even took some lovely pictures for my in-laws!

[Pro Tips for Photos!]

✔️ Capture the full, earthy-toned space head-on for a dramatic shot!

✔️ Drinks might take a little while, so order first and then head to the photo zone while you wait!

4. Cua Ngo Cafe: Salt Coffee & Menu Delights

The menu at Cua Ngo Cafe, a true gem near Da Nang's My Khe Beach, offers a wide variety of drinks, from classic Americanos and lattes to more unique options.

You'll find Vietnamese classics like Cafe Saigon, condensed milk lattes, coconut coffee, and even egg coffee. But without a doubt, their most famous offering is the Salt Cream Coffee!

Once you place your order, they'll bring your drinks right to your table.

The staff were incredibly friendly and even brought us complimentary water, a nice touch!

As expected from their signature drink, Cua Ngo's Salt Cream Coffee was absolutely delicious! The balance of the slightly bitter black coffee with the sweet and salty cream on top was truly impressive and memorable.

The Coconut Coffee, topped with dried coconut flakes, added a delightful texture that made it incredibly addictive.

And for those who prefer a classic, the Iced Americano was perfectly refreshing and tasted remarkably similar to what you'd find back home – a great choice for a hot day!

5. A Minor Drawback

Cua Ngo Cafe near My Khe Beach genuinely impressed me, but there was one small thing that could be improved.

While the ambiance and flavors were fantastic, the interior lighting was a bit on the dim side. That was my only minor complaint.

Despite that, the incredible taste, inviting atmosphere, and affordable prices made it a cafe that my entire family thoroughly enjoyed.

6. Final Thoughts

This wraps up my review of Cua Ngo Cafe, the Dubai-inspired gem near Da Nang's My Khe Beach.

I initially wondered if it was just another Instagram-hyped spot, but I was pleasantly surprised. The aesthetic, atmosphere, delicious drinks, and great prices all exceeded my expectations.
