My favorite cafes and homestays in Vietnam
Cute places for food and coffee we found during our trip
Vietnam is a nice mixture of tradition and modern, and you can see this in the eateries you can find around the country: next to the restaurants serving traditional Vietnamese food there are cafes and homestays beautifully decorated and with a modern menu, not only for tourists, but appreciated by young locals as well.
Bom’s Coffee, Tam Coc
In Tam Coc I fell in love with this very simple cafeteria because of the many plants and the big space where my son had a lot of fun. The first time we went for coffee there, they were arranging a family dinner, with a lot of food that they lay on the floor. And they invited us to share it.
Le Robinet Homestay, Hue
Le Robinet Homestay in Hue was my favorite accommodation in the whole Vietnam. It was very welcoming, with a beautiful architecture and design, a large garden where my son had fun with the two cats of the house. They also serve delicious vegetarian food. Plus it’s in the old part of the town and very close to the Imperial City.
Fika, Hoi An
We found this lovely place by chance, cycling around the old town of Hoi An. They serve some excellent coffee and cakes. I fell in love with the books corner and the decadent look.
Lagan Bakery, Hoi An
It’s the sister bakery of Fika above, very different in style, equally great food. A great place for digital nomads that need a quiet and neat place to work.
Cam Coffee, Hoi An
This place was very close to our hotel in Hoi An. There were people working or meeting friends and colleagues. Many plants, good food, beautiful design. One of those places where you could spend hours.
Capulus, Da Lat
Another place we found by chance, walking along the canal in Da Lat. I was attracted by the people sitting on those tiny chairs by the small road, most of them really into their mobile phones. It was very busy at any hour.
By the way, Da Lat was my favorite place in Vietnam, the most authentic in my opinion.
The Joi Factory, Ho Chi Minh City
A vegetarian restaurant and shared workspace at the same time.
Vietnam is famous for its great coffee and food. Recently places like these full of character are spreading around the country, making drinking and eating even more pleasant.
