The Joi Factory at Seahorse Hostel and Bar
Address: 7 Nguyen Thai Hoc street, Hai Chau, Da Nang city
Organic snacks and drinks, just a few steps away from the fresh wind blowing off the Han River, the Joi Factory at Seahorse Hostel and Bar is a great option for a good cup of coffee away from the central Vietnamese heat. Try their signature banana coffee or their coconut caramel coffee – we don’t blame you if you go for seconds.
If you’re not a fan of coffee, they have herbal teas, as well as organic fresh juices. To make the experience more special, The Joi Factory uses no plastic straws, wanting to do their part to help protect the environment.
The Joi FactoryThe cafe environment is also extremely chill. The tables and chairs are comfortable, and the design is easy on the eyes, making it a great place for digital nomads to get work done. The cafe occupies two floors, so there is plenty of space.
The Espresso Station
Address: 169/4 Tran Phu, Hai Chau, Da Nang
Are you in love with coffee and want to be a part of Da Nang’s coffee-lover community? Head over to The Espresso Station–not only is it cozy and beautiful, but your fresh cup of coffee will be fantastic.
The story of this lovely cafe began when its ‘father’ quit his well-known and secure job to search for the finest organic coffee beans in 2014. After a long while, his cafe in Hoi An grew a reputation through word-of-mouth for serving authentic Vietnamese coffee, that is personalized to your taste. You – the drinker – will have a chance to tell the baristas your coffee drinking habits, and they will customize their coffee accordingly in a clever way.
The Espresso Station’s ‘headquarters‘ is really loved by locals and tourists alike in Hoi An. Just now, on April 27th, 2018, they have launched their newest branch in Da Nang at 169/4 Tran Phu street.

The interior is not the only good thing about this place – there is also a garden that caters to those who are looking for an open area to relax in the cool air of this coastal city in the afternoon after a long day of work. Moreover, the coffee shop has a good food menu with various types of dishes, from fancy European-style breakfasts to romantic dinner meals.
