Da Nang's Cua Ngo Cafe

Location

Near My Khe Beach

Approximately a 5-minute drive from Dragon Bridge, 8 minutes from Han Market

You might find yourself wondering, "Is there really a famous cafe around here?" Cua Ngo Cafe is truly a 'hidden hot spot,' tucked away in an alley you'd easily miss if you weren't looking for it.

Step inside, and you're greeted by a unique interior that subtly blends old-world charm with modern sensibilities. The exotic Moroccan-inspired vibe is captivating; for me, it even brought back fond memories of traveling through India.

While the interior space isn't overly large, its distinct, cozy atmosphere made our visit visually delightful from start to finish.

We heard that it can get quite busy during peak hours, sometimes even with no seats available. We visited around 1:30 PM on a Thursday and were lucky to find a vacant table for four. By 3:00 PM, when we were leaving, there were plenty of open seats.

Menu and Recommended Drinks

True to a local Vietnamese cafe, the drink prices were generally very affordable.

Cua Ngo Cafe Signature Menu

Salt Cream Coffee, Egg Cream Coffee,

Coconut Coffee, Mango Smoothie

Among these, the Coconut Coffee and Egg Cream Coffee are highly praised and frequently ordered by visitors.

My husband and I ordered Bac Xiu and White Pearl Milk Tea, while the kids enjoyed orange juice and pineapple juice.

Despite the affordable prices, the service was excellent. They offer a complimentary cup of tea for each person upon seating and kindly refill it when you're finished. Thoughtfully, they provided water for the children. The staff even delivered our ordered drinks directly to our table, which left us truly impressed by their kindness ❤️

Air Conditioning

While there is an air conditioner, we weren't entirely sure if it was running as we didn't feel much cool air. It's advisable to grab a seat closer to a fan if you can.

Laptop / Workspace Environment

The Wi-Fi password is conveniently printed at the bottom of your receipt, and there are power outlets on the walls, making it a great spot to spend some time on your laptop or tablet.

We observed several digital nomads, seemingly from Western countries, leisurely working on their laptops here.

The internet speed was fast, and we experienced no buffering while watching YouTube.

Restroom

If you open the back door, you'll find the restrooms outside. They are separated for men and women, offering peace of mind. What really caught our attention was the hairdryer next to the sink – we're still wondering about its intended use!

The Insta-Worthy Outdoor Photo Zone

On the way to the restroom, you'll discover a famous outdoor photo zone that's absolutely perfect for Instagram. With such a unique and exotic backdrop, you're guaranteed to get some incredible shots with minimal effort. If you visit Cua Ngo Cafe, make sure to step outside and capture some memories!

There wasn't a queue for photos, and we noticed times when it was completely empty while walking to and from the restroom. Wearing white clothing would really make your photos pop against this vibrant backdrop.

Cua Ngo Cafe is truly a charming space in Da Nang that's worth a visit. It's the perfect place to unwind from your travels, enjoy fragrant Vietnamese coffee, and soak in an exotic atmosphere.
