Located on Le Hong Phong Street in Tan An Ward, around two kilometers from downtown Hoi An, a popular tourist hotspot, the cafe facade is covered by green trees and may be hard to find for first-timers.

The cafe, which opened to tourists mid-this year, originates from the owner's desire to create a space to connect coffee lovers with nature via a plethora of plants and natural materials. Designed by Yen Architecture, a firm based in Quang Nam Province, the coffee shop was recently featured by the leading U.S. architectural magazine Archdaily thanks to its unique design.

The 50-square-meter outdoor area resembles a small garden surrounded by trees, shrubs, and some types of vines. The trees provide shade and fresh, clean air.
|
The bar area is on the ground floor with an open design, allowing guests to witness the coffee brewing process as they order.
|
On the second floor, guests can choose to sit on a tree-covered balcony and enjoy the slow pace of life in Hoi An.
|
The third floor boasts a quiet atmosphere and is designed like a ‘co-working space’ dedicated to those looking for a place to work, study in groups, or read.

The cafe menu ranges from Vietnamese coffee, Italian-style coffee, cold brew, teas to frozen drinks, fruit juices and sweet cakes, with prices of VND18,000 to 60,000 (80 cents to -2.6 USD). Situated at 99 Le Hong Phong Street in Tan An Ward, the cafe is open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day. Authorities in Hoi An allowed restaurants and coffee shops to reopen from early September and serve guests on the spot but must maintain a distance of at least two meters between tables, with each having no more than four customers.
