Nha Trang cafes: sea views, gardens, laptop spots and the unusual ones
The best cafes in Nha Trang are a lot more interesting than the Highlands chain on the beachfront. You can drink coffee on the rocks by Hòn Chồng cape, pet a capybara for 90,000 VND (~$3.50) with a drink included, or watch a train roll past a few metres from your table. We picked 12 cafes rated 4.0–4.9 on maps, checked that each one is still open in 2026, and sorted them by what you want: a view, greenery, Wi-Fi, something unusual, an evening spot or a proper Vietnamese coffee.
Cafe lists go stale fast. Rainforest, the "treehouse" cafe that 2026 roundups still recommend, is marked permanently closed on Google Maps. So every place below comes with hours, a street address and a price with its source.
Information current as of 11/2026. Hours and prices change, so check the map listing before you go.
Nha Trang cafes on a map: 12 checked spots
Most of these Nha Trang coffee shops sit in the tourist centre, within a 15-minute walk of each other. Two are out of the way: the café by Hòn Chồng cape in the north and MoKuzo on a hill to the south-west. Take a Grab or a scooter for those.

All 12 are rated between 4.0 and 4.9 on maps, most with hundreds or thousands of reviews. We left out places that still show up in roundups but are listed as permanently closed, such as Rainforest on Võ Trứ.
Cafes with a sea view
For coffee with a sea view in Nha Trang, two places on our list work: the rocks by Hòn Chồng cape in the north and the sand at Sailing Club in the middle of the beachfront. The first is a simple cafe at a sightseeing spot. The second is a beach club: coffee by day, music at night.
Hòn Chồng café
Coffee Baka Hòn Chồng sits inside the Hòn Chồng cape site, one of the top sights in Nha Trang, with tables facing the rocks and the bay. We found no published prices, and reviewers suggest bringing cash because cards may not be accepted.
- Where: inside the Hòn Chồng cape site (Khu danh thắng Hòn Chồng), north of the city On the map ↗
- Hours: 6:00 am–10:00 pm
- Rating: 4.0 on Google, 1,500+ reviews
The rating is lower than at the downtown cafes: reviewers praise the view and the service but not the coffee. If you are visiting the rocks anyway, it's a handy place to sit out the midday heat. The bay faces east, so the sun sets behind you; mornings are the better time to come.
Sailing Club
Sailing Club Nha Trang is a beach club on the sand off Trần Phú. By day it's a cafe facing the sea; after dark come the DJs and the fire show. Drinks run 40,000–200,000 VND (~$1.50–7.70): coffee near the bottom of that range, cocktails near the top.
- Where: 72–74 Trần Phú, middle of the beachfront On the map ↗
- Hours: 7:00 am to midnight or 2:00 am depending on the day, per the Google listing; a 2026 English-language guide lists daytime cafe service until 9:30 pm
- Rating: 4.2 on Google, 11,000+ reviews
You're paying for the sea and the setting. It's a cafe by day and a club with music at night, so for a quiet cup, get there before sunset.

Garden cafes
The prettiest cafes in Nha Trang with trees around you instead of scooters are AN Cafe in the centre and MoKuzo on the hill. The first has a pond plus air-conditioned rooms with sofas; the second is a wooden house with a view over the city.
AN Cafe
AN Cafe is a courtyard with a garden, a pond and unusual wooden architecture, plus a large air-conditioned room with sofas. Drinks cost 20,000–50,000 VND (~$0.80–1.90). It also serves food; reviewers even mention spaghetti Bolognese.
- Where: 40 Lê Đại Hành On the map ↗; the second branch, AN Cafe 2, is at 24 Nguyễn Trung Trực, also with a garden and a fish pond On the map ↗
- Hours: 6:30 am–10:00 pm
- Rating: 4.2 on Google (about 1,600 reviews for each branch), 4.5 on Tripadvisor
Complaints in reviews: a neglected pond, slow service and staff who struggle with English. The salt coffee splits opinion.
KaFe MoKuzo
KaFe MoKuzo is a wooden cafe on a hill about 3.5 km from the centre, with a garden, flowers and a view over the city. VnExpress compared it to the cafes of Da Lat. Drinks cost 30,000–50,000 VND (~$1.20–1.90) according to 2021–2023 data.
- Where: 112 Phong Châu, south-west of the city On the map ↗
- Hours: 7:00 am–6:00 pm
- Rating: 4.4 on Google, almost 500 reviews
Visitors like the view, the fast Wi-Fi and the strong air-con; the food gets weaker reviews. The road up is steep and too far to walk from the centre, so take a Grab. It closes at 6 pm, so it's not an evening spot.
Cafes to work from with a laptop
For remote work in Nha Trang cafes, the two names that come up most are Jungle Coffee and Nhà Hè: reviewers mention good Wi-Fi and quiet rooms at both. Both are in the centre and open until 10 pm.
Jungle Coffee
Jungle Coffee is a high-ceilinged room with exposed brick and hanging plants. Drinks arrive with fresh flowers. Reviewers like the salt coffee (cà phê muối), the coconut cake and the chocolate cake. A 2026 English-language guide puts drinks at $2–4.50 (~50,000–115,000 VND).
- Where: 8 Lê Quý Đôn, centre On the map ↗
- Hours: 6:30 am–10:00 pm, until 10:30 pm on some days, per the Google listing
- Rating: 4.7 on Google, 500+ reviews
According to the review summary, it's quiet and clean with stable internet and good service. If you need to sit with a laptop for a couple of hours, start here.
Nhà Hè
Nhà Hè ("Summer House") is a small cafe down an alley off Nguyễn Thiện Thuật, away from the noisy street. The menu has Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk, coconut, egg and salt coffee, plus croissants and croffles.
- Where: 120/8 Nguyễn Thiện Thuật (entrance from the alley) On the map ↗
- Hours: 7:00 am–10:00 pm
- Rating: 4.8 on Google, 1,300+ reviews
We found no published prices. Reviewers call them affordable; check the menu when you arrive. The cafe is upstairs, above a souvenir shop.
Unusual cafes in Nha Trang: capybaras, trains and seashells
The question people ask most about unusual cafes in Nha Trang is where the capybara cafe is. It's in the centre, on Âu Cơ street. The other two places here are a cafe right by the railway tracks and a cafe with seashell-covered walls where guests take turns at the piano.
Capybara cafe: Capybara Coffee & Tea
The capybara cafe in Nha Trang is Capybara Coffee & Tea at 34 Âu Cơ. Entry is 70,000 VND (~$2.70); a ticket with a drink is 90,000 VND (~$3.50). Those are the prices visitors quoted in reviews from May to September 2026. Cash only.
- Where: 34 Âu Cơ, at the corner with Vạn Kiếp, centre
- Hours: 8:00 am–9:30 pm
- Animals: two capybaras, one big and one small, plus rabbits and guinea pigs
How it works, according to reviews: you get a number at the till, wait in the area with the rabbits and guinea pigs, then get called into the capybara room. No food, drinks only, and around 10 am it's quiet.
💬 A family who visited in August 2026 wrote that each of them got a baby guinea pig or rabbit to hold and a cup of treats for the animals, and that about an hour was enough. — Trip.com review, August 2026
There is a worrying review too. In June 2026 a visitor wrote that the animals were kept in cages without hay, handled by too many people, and that one capybara looked unwell; she left after finishing her coffee. Another reviewer, on the other hand, noted that staff won't let you touch a capybara that doesn't want it. If you're going with kids, read the latest reviews first. More family ideas are in our guide to Nha Trang with kids.
Railway cafe: Cà Phê Đường Tàu
The train cafe in Nha Trang is Cà Phê Đường Tàu at 66a Nguyễn Trãi. The back of the room and the balcony face the tracks, and the train passes a few metres away. Coffee and fresh juices cost 35,000–60,000 VND (~$1.30–2.30).
- Where: 66a Nguyễn Trãi, near Nha Trang station
- Hours: 6:00 am–10:30 pm
Trains are infrequent, so timing matters. According to VietNamNet (2024) and the Vietnamese travel site MIA (2025), 6–7 passenger trains pass each day, usually around 7:00–7:30 am and between 6 and 8 pm, plus freight trains. Visitors in 2026 report the same and add that there is no strict timetable. Schedules change, so check arrival times into Nha Trang on the railway website and turn up 15 minutes early. Don't expect Hanoi's crowded Train Street: this is an ordinary local cafe where the train is a bonus.
Cafe Hòn Kiến: seashells and a piano
Cafe Hòn Kiến at 56 Đống Đa is a phòng trà, the Vietnamese name for a cafe with live music. Its walls and decor are covered in seashells. Inside there are several separate rooms and a covered terrace, and an old piano that guests take turns playing, as reviewers described in January 2026.
- Where: 56 Đống Đa, centre On the map ↗
- Hours: 6:30 am–10:00 pm
- Prices: 18,000–50,000 VND (~$0.70–1.90) per a 2023 guide; likely higher now
- Rating: 4.7 on Google, about 1,600 reviews
Reviewers single out the coconut matcha topped with coconut flakes, the coconut coffee and the chocolate mousse. They say it's especially calm after 6 pm, which makes it a good evening option without alcohol or loud music.
💬 Visitors who came for a morning coffee wrote that the whole cafe is decorated with thousands of shells, and that you can sit outside under a huge tree, calm even though it's in a busy part of the city. — Wanderlog, March 2026
Alpaca cafes and the "helicopter cafe" didn't make the list. The first appear in catalogues, but we couldn't find a second independent confirmation that they're open at the listed address; the second we couldn't find at all.

Vietnamese coffee in Nha Trang: where to drink the local classics
Vietnamese coffee in Nha Trang costs 15,000–30,000 VND (~$0.60–1.20) for a cà phê sữa đá, iced coffee with condensed milk, at a basic street stall. In the cafes below expect 30,000–60,000 VND (~$1.20–2.30), and you get the interior thrown in. What to order:
- Cà phê sữa đá: strong robusta dripped through a phin filter, condensed milk, ice.
- Bạc xỉu: the same, but with more milk than coffee.
- Cà phê muối: salt coffee with a creamy foam.
- Cà phê dừa: coconut coffee, blended with coconut milk and ice.
More on the styles and how they're brewed in our guide to Vietnamese coffee. If you want to try kopi luwak or take some home, first read how to spot fake luwak coffee.
Cộng Cà Phê
Cộng Cà Phê is a Vietnamese chain with a military-retro look: old posters, radios, wooden furniture and vintage bulbs. The signature drink is coconut coffee with condensed milk. Drinks cost 30,000–60,000 VND (~$1.20–2.30).
- Where: 97 Nguyễn Thiện Thuật, centre; another branch at 23 Nguyễn Chánh
- Hours: 7:00 am–10:30 pm per a 2026 English-language guide; Foody and MyTour list 11:00–11:30 pm
- Rating: 4.3 on Google for the Nguyễn Chánh branch, 1,600+ reviews
If you've been to Cộng in Hanoi or Da Nang, the interior will look familiar. It is a safe bet for a first coconut coffee.
K Cafe
K Cafe is a small, cosy, old-school coffee shop at the northern edge of the centre. People come for bạc xỉu and coconut coffee, and it also does hand-brewed coffee, espresso and craft beer. Reviewers suggest asking for coconut milk in your drink.
- Where: 11 Phan Chu Trinh On the map ↗
- Hours: 6:30 am–6:00 pm
- Rating: 4.9 on Google, about 500 reviews, the highest on this list
No published prices. It closes at 6 pm, so go in the morning or afternoon.
Ola Cafe
Ola Cafe has curved sand-coloured walls, cacti and plenty of photo spots. People come for the coconut coffee: a 2026 reviewer wrote that it "tastes actually good" and liked the coconut chips on top. Reviewers also praise the guava tea, the matcha latte with cheese foam and the tiramisu.
- Where: 31 Nguyễn Hữu Huân, centre On the map ↗
- Hours: 7:30 am–10:00 pm
- Rating: 4.5 on Google, about 1,300 reviews
💬 A reviewer called the flavours creative, the coffee robust and very smooth, and the place a mix of architecture and local decor. From the signature menu, they recommend the coconut milk coffee and the tiramisu. — Wanderlog, January 2026
Prices in guides vary a lot: a local blog says 20,000–35,000 VND, a 2026 English-language guide says $2.50–5. Check the menu. There are menus in English and Korean, and it's popular with Korean visitors.

Where to go in the evening and what to know
For an evening in Nha Trang, three cafes on our list fit: Hòn Kiến (until 10 pm, quiet), Cà Phê Đường Tàu (until 10:30 pm, evening trains) and Sailing Club (until 2 am, loud). MoKuzo and K Cafe are closed by then; both shut at 6 pm.
| If you want… | Go to | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Sea and rocks | Coffee Baka at Hòn Chồng | cafe inside the cape site, open until 10 pm |
| A garden | AN Cafe | pond, garden and an air-conditioned room |
| A view over the city | KaFe MoKuzo | hilltop, but only until 6 pm |
| To work | Jungle Coffee, Nhà Hè | quiet, good Wi-Fi |
| Something for kids | Capybara Coffee & Tea | capybaras, rabbits, guinea pigs; 70,000–90,000 VND |
| An unusual photo | Cà Phê Đường Tàu | a train a few metres from your table |
| A quiet evening | Cafe Hòn Kiến | seashells, a piano, separate quiet rooms |
| Local coffee | K Cafe, Cộng, Ola | bạc xỉu, coconut and salt coffee |
The biggest mistake is trusting "top cafes" lists without checking. Rainforest, with its rope bridges and slide, still appears in 2026 guides even though it's closed on Google Maps. Before you go, open the place's listing: if it says "permanently closed" or the latest reviews are a year old, it probably isn't open.
For where to eat after your coffee and what meals cost, see our guide to restaurants and food in Nha Trang. For everything else about the city, read the Nha Trang travel guide.
