Phu Quoc cafes: where to drink coffee with a sea or sunset view in 2026

Online lists of the best cafes in Phu Quoc go stale fast. Aroi Dessert Cafe, The Sun Vintage Cafe and WoodHouse Coffee still show up in them, and all three are permanently closed; The Embassy Café is temporarily closed. So this list only includes places with 2026 Google Maps reviews plus a second source: the cafe’s own site or menu, or an official island guide. Ten made the cut. Everything else about the island is in our Phu Quoc travel guide.

Since July 2025, Phu Quoc has been a special zone (đặc khu Phú Quốc) of An Giang province, and the island no longer has districts. Duong Dong, Ong Lang and An Thoi below are just parts of the island, which is how drivers and maps still refer to them.

Phu Quoc cafes on a map: 10 places that are open

All ten cafes below were operating in autumn 2026. Each has Google Maps reviews posted between April and September and confirmation from a second source. Six are in or near Duong Dong; the rest are spread along the west coast from Ong Lang down to Sunset Town.

• Chuồn Chuồn Bistro & Bar (Đồi Sao Mai): Hilltop above Duong Dong, 7:30 am–11 pm — Coffee 70,000–115,000 VND
• Zyzu Kafé (Đồi Sao Mai): Hillside garden with huts — 8 am–11 pm
• ANBA Coffee (131 Trần Hưng Đạo): Garden and indoor seating, free Wi-Fi — 7:30 am–9:30 pm
• Tarapaca Cafe (106A Trần Hưng Đạo): Laptop-friendly, egg coffee — Call to check evening hours
• Buddy Ice Cream & Cafe (06 Bạch Đằng): Terrace by the pier, coconut coffee — 6:30 am–10 pm
• Nora’s Cafe (Hẻm Chùa Ông, Cửa Lấp): Breakfast, smoothie bowls, Wi-Fi — 8 am–5 pm

• Sunset Sanato Beach Club (Bãi Trường): Beach sunset, entry 80,000–100,000 VND — 9 am–10 pm
• INK 360 Rooftop Bar (InterContinental Phu Quoc): Rooftop bar, 5–11 pm — Book a table
• RuNam Sunset Town (Sunset Town, An Thới): Sea view, 7 am–10 pm — Evening limits because of the show

Hours are from Google Maps as of autumn 2026. Cafe websites and guides sometimes list different ones, so check the listing before a long ride across the island.

Sao Mai Hill: sunset coffee above Duong Dong

Sao Mai Hill (Đồi Sao Mai) rises right above Duong Dong, by 69 Trần Hưng Đạo, and looks over the old town, the port and open sea. The sun sets in exactly that direction, which is why both cafes on the slope are the island’s best-known sunset spots and why Sun World’s official guide lists them both.

Chuồn Chuồn Bistro & Bar

Chuồn Chuồn means "dragonfly". It’s a bistro and bar on several levels with a rooftop terrace; it opens for coffee in the morning and turns into a dinner and cocktail spot at night. It has over 6,000 Google reviews and a 4.3 average.

It’s also one of the few cafes on the island with its menu online. The PDF on its website is dated 2 March 2026, and prices include service charge and VAT. Iced coffee with condensed milk (cà phê sữa đá) is 80,000 VND (~$3.10), a latte or cappuccino 95,000 VND (~$3.70), the house coconut coffee 110,000 VND (~$4.20), and cocktails 180,000–200,000 VND (~$6.90–7.70).

The tables with a view go by sunset, so people book: there’s an online booking link on the site, or call +84 297 3608 883. If you miss out, come after dark. The lights of Duong Dong from the hill are worth it too, and some guests come specifically for the night view.

Reservation is recommended for better view seats.Google Maps review, July 2026, via Wanderlog

Where: Đồi Sao Mai, 69 Trần Hưng Đạo, Duong Dong. Hours: 7:30 am–11 pm. On the map ↗

Zyzu Kafé

Zyzu Kafé sits on the same slope, reached from the lane at number 69. It’s a garden with wooden huts and several terraces, each with a slightly different view. It’s simpler and quieter than its neighbour: people ride up on a scooter for a coffee at sunset, without dinner or loud music.

The menu covers Vietnamese coffee, latte, americano, cappuccino, juices and yoghurt drinks. Prices aren’t published anywhere; reviewers call them reasonable. Food isn’t the point here. In May 2026 one guest got a barely warm cappuccino and two fried eggs instead of an omelette, though they still rated the place well.

Where: lane by 69 Trần Hưng Đạo, Duong Dong. Hours: 8 am–11 pm. On the map ↗

Central Duong Dong: gardens, laptops and a harbour view

In central Duong Dong, along Trần Hưng Đạo and by the pier on Bạch Đằng, are the cafes for a slow morning or a few hours of work. You won’t see much sea from here, but you get gardens, shade and Wi-Fi. For cheap places to eat nearby, see our guide to Phu Quoc restaurants.

ANBA Coffee

ANBA has a big garden with outdoor tables, and when it’s too hot you can sit inside. It has nearly 1,400 Google reviews and a 4.6 average, and guests keep mentioning the staff. One regular wrote that almost a year after their last visit, the staff still remembered to bring warm water instead of iced.

VinWonders’ guide recommends the coconut coffee here, while 2026 reviews mostly praise the matcha drinks (matcha with salted cream, coconut matcha, mango matcha). There’s pasta and snacks too. Wi-Fi is free. Some find the food on the sweet side. Prices aren’t published.

Where: 131 Trần Hưng Đạo. Hours: 7:30 am–9:30 pm. On the map ↗

Tarapaca Cafe

Tarapaca is a bright, minimalist room on the main road, a couple of minutes’ walk from ANBA. It gets recommended for working: its Wanderlog listing mentions power outlets, and it holds a 4.7 average across about 750 Google reviews. The owners reply to reviews, including ones from 2026.

The menu on its website has separate sections for Vietnamese-style coffee and coconut drinks, a house egg coffee (Paca’s Egg Coffee), bạc xỉu and all-day breakfast. Guests suggest the salted coffee, coconut latte and waffles with coconut ice cream. No prices on the site.

Opening hours are a mess: Google Maps says 7 am–7 pm, the cafe’s website 8 am–10 pm, VinWonders’ guide 8 am–8 pm, and Restaurant Guru has it opening at 9 am. It’s definitely open in the morning and afternoon; for the evening, call +84 977 148 499.

Where: 106A Trần Hưng Đạo. On the map ↗

Buddy Ice Cream & Cafe

Buddy is a long-running cafe with a shaded terrace right across from the pier and a view of the harbour. Its New Zealand ice cream and burgers are covered in our Phu Quoc food guide, but it’s worth a stop for coffee too: 2026 reviews praise the coconut coffee and the egg coffee, with one guest calling it one of the best he had in Vietnam. Reviewers describe prices as fair, without figures.

Where: 06 Bạch Đằng, by the Duong Dong pier. Hours: 6:30 am–10 pm. On the map ↗

Cua Lap: breakfast and work near Long Beach

Cua Lap (Cửa Lấp) is the stretch south of central Duong Dong where Long Beach begins. The cafes on Trần Hưng Đạo are a few kilometres away, so it’s handier to have breakfast nearby.

Nora’s Cafe

Nora’s Cafe is tucked down the lane by the temple (Hẻm Chùa Ông) and only opens during the day, 8 am to 5 pm. It has over 1,100 Google reviews, and the recent ones mostly praise breakfast: smoothie bowls, pesto toast and kimchi toast, dragon fruit smoothies and mango juice. Vegetarians have plenty to pick from.

People come here to work too: a March 2026 review singles out the fast Wi-Fi. It won’t work for sunset or evenings, though, because it closes at 5 pm. Prices aren’t published.

Our favourite breakfast and brunch spot. They only take cash, so make sure you bring some.Google Maps review, October 2025, paraphrased, via Wanderlog

Ong Lang: coffee in a garden up north

Ong Lang (Ông Lang) is the quiet part of the west coast north of Duong Dong, with beaches and resorts along road ĐT45. Only one independent cafe here had recent reviews and a second confirmation.

The Garden Coffee, Food & Spa

The Garden is about a kilometre from the gate of the Mövenpick Waverly resort, and hotel guests walk over for breakfast; they say it’s much better value than the resort buffet. It’s a garden of ferns and trees around a koi pond, lit with candles in the evening, and it scores 4.8 across almost 800 Google reviews.

Besides coffee there’s pho, banh mi, fried rice and milkshakes, and the cafe has a small spa: one guest in May 2026 booked a 30-minute foot massage. No exact prices are published; the listing rates it as cheap. Other spas on the island are in our guide to massage in Phu Quoc.

Nice inside, but there are a lot of flies because of the water. Cold drinks come with too much ice: a small amount of drink and the rest is ice.Google Maps review, January 2026, paraphrased, via Wanderlog

West coast: sunset on Bai Truong beach

Bai Truong (Bãi Trường) is the part of Long Beach south of Duong Dong where the sun goes straight into the sea. The two sunset spots on this list here are a beach club and a rooftop bar, both attached to resorts. More on the coast itself in our guide to Phu Quoc beaches.

Sunset Sanato Beach Club

Sunset Sanato is a resort beach club with large art installations on the sand: figures, a "bird nest" and a "stairway to heaven". The architect, Nikita Marshunok, is quoted on the resort’s site saying they were designed to frame the sunset, and that’s when people photograph them.

You pay to get in, even if you only want a coffee at the bar, and children pay the same as adults. In January 2026 guests paid 90,000 VND (~$3.50) each for entry plus 100,000 VND (~$3.80) per sunbed; in February the gate quoted 80,000 VND (~$3.10), and a September 2026 Sun Paradise Land guide gives 100,000 VND (~$3.80). Opinions on whether it’s worth it are split.

The sunset is beautiful, but the beach is narrow and steep and the entry fee is overpriced.Google Maps review, July 2026, paraphrased, via Wanderlog

If you want photos at the installations, come early: a January 2026 reviewer arrived an hour before sunset, and that wasn’t enough for the two friends taking photos.

Where: ấp Đường Bào, Bai Truong beach. Hours: 9 am–10 pm. On the map ↗

INK 360 Rooftop Bar

INK 360 is the bar on the roof of the InterContinental, with a 360-degree view over the sea and coast. It isn’t a cafe: it opens at 5 pm and serves cocktails. But summer 2026 reviews praise it precisely for the sunset view. Book a table; after sunset the neon lights and music come on.

I was surprised that this rooftop bar welcomes children and babies.Google Maps review, February 2026, paraphrased, via Wanderlog

The official website warns that hours may change depending on hotel occupancy. Prices aren’t published.

Sunset Town in the south: coffee with a sunset view

Sunset Town is a Mediterranean-style quarter in the south of the island, next to the Hon Thom cable car station. It has plenty of cafes, from Starbucks to the Maison Kayser bakery. In the evening the Kiss of the Sea show runs nearby, and its schedule decides how long you can stay at a cafe by the water.

RuNam Sunset Town

RuNam is a Vietnamese coffee chain, and its Sunset Town branch is a cafe-restaurant facing the sea. It serves coffee, tea and desserts, with full dinners in the evening. It averages 4.1 across about 1,650 Google reviews, and some of the good ones still note that the Vietnamese dishes are tuned for tourists.

In August 2026 a guest reported that at sunset, regular customers can only stay until 7:40 pm: the show starts next door, and staying on costs an extra 200,000 VND (~$7.70), which he calls a show ticket. A June review says bookings after 8:10 pm require the fireworks set menu, though those guests found a free table as walk-ins after 8:10. These rules come from reviews; RuNam’s website doesn’t list them.

The restaurant isn’t cheap either: lobster pasta in the same review cost 480,000 VND (~$18.50). For the show schedule and tickets, see our guide to things to do in Phu Quoc.

Where: Sunset Town, An Thoi. Hours: 7 am–10 pm. On the map ↗

What to order and how much coffee costs

Cafe prices in Phu Quoc depend on the view. With a panorama, coffee costs 70,000–115,000 VND (~$2.70–4.40); at a simple local cafe it’s a fraction of that, and the price table for local places is in our guide to Phu Quoc restaurants. Most cafes on this list don’t publish their menus, so Chuồn Chuồn is the benchmark: its prices are public and already include service and tax.

Prices from the Chuồn Chuồn Bistro & Bar menu dated 2 March 2026; checked in November 2026.

If Vietnamese coffee is new to you, start with the classics. Cà phê sữa đá is strong coffee with condensed milk over ice, and bạc xỉu is the softer version with more milk than coffee. Coconut coffee is a common order on the island; reviews single it out at Chuồn Chuồn and Buddy, and VinWonders’ guide recommends it at ANBA. Egg coffee comes from Hanoi, but Tarapaca and Buddy both make it. The differences and history are in our guide to Vietnamese coffee.

Common mistakes

Trusting an old list. Aroi Dessert Cafe is still recommended as a sunset cafe even though it’s permanently closed. The same goes for The Sun Vintage Cafe, WoodHouse Coffee and Coffee House in Cua Lap, while The Embassy Café and Rory’s Beach Bar are temporarily closed. Before you go, open the place on Google Maps and check the date of the latest reviews.

Turning up right at sunset. The sun sets between 5:40 pm in winter and 6:30 pm in summer, and the best tables on Sao Mai Hill and the spots by the Sanato installations fill up earlier. Come an hour early, earlier still for photos. Any weather app shows the sunset time for your date.

Not knowing where you’ll pay extra. Sunset Sanato charges for entry and separately for sunbeds, RuNam, according to one guest, charges an extra 200,000 VND after 7:40 pm, and INK 360 is simply closed before 5 pm.

Planning an evening at a daytime cafe. Nora’s Cafe closes at 5 pm, and Tarapaca’s hours differ between the map listing and its website, so call before an evening visit.

Forgetting the rainy season. May to October is the rainy season on Phu Quoc, downpours tend to come in the afternoon, and the sunset may simply not happen. Month-by-month conditions are in our guide to Phu Quoc weather.

More places to eat, drink and visit on the island are in our Phu Quoc travel guide.
