Experience 3 vintage-style cafes in Da Nang to immerse yourself in the vibes of the 'good old days'
Perhaps, we often focus on stylish cafes in Hanoi and Saigon, forgetting that Da Nang is also a vibrant entertainment destination. Like the other two 'heads,' Da Nang boasts not only chic, modern decor and high-class spots but also gathers a variety of nostalgic places for those seeking a peaceful retreat.
Admit it, modern life brings countless conveniences and integration, but its fast-paced nature sometimes leaves you feeling exhausted, craving the simplicity of the past. If you're longing for the serene atmosphere of the 'good old days' and searching for a place to transport you back to your childhood, then try visiting these Da Nang cafes with a nostalgic touch!
Bao Cap Refreshment
Address: K30/14 Bach Dang, Hai Chau, Da Nang
Opening hours: 6 AM – 9 PM
Prices: 15k – 35k
No need for many words about the ambiance of this place as the name Bao Cap Refreshment says it all. From the retro-brushed signboard, it transports you to a space reminiscent of the 70s and 80s. Upon deeper exploration, you'll feel like you're time-traveling.
This Da Nang cafe is tucked away in a small alley, with a space not too wide and entirely decorated in the style of the wartime era from the entrance to the first floor and the small attic on the second floor. Here and there, you'll find various items from the 'old-fashioned' era like advertising posters, old wooden tables and chairs, a collection of yellowed vinyl record covers, and an antique radio. The menu here is handwritten, not fancy printing.
Visiting Bao Cap Refreshment, you'll experience a different side of Da Nang. It's not the bustling, modern Dragon Bridge city anymore; it's an old, quiet, and nostalgic Da Nang.
La Pensée Café & Library
Address: 27 Yen Bai, Hai Chau, Da Nang
Opening hours: 7 AM – 11 PM
Prices: 10k – 30k
Nestled in an old apartment building, La Pensée Café & Library requires navigating a narrow alley and a small staircase, but the space here will surely not disappoint you.
La Pensée has a relatively small area, decorated in a vintage style, old-fashioned, and filled with books. While the exterior stands out with bright yellow windows and many small green plants, the entire interior of the cafe is designed in a muted tone, creating a deep, tranquil feeling, completely separated from the hustle and bustle outside. Wooden tables and chairs are neatly arranged next to bookshelves, providing a delightful and spacious atmosphere.
Pause at La Pensée Café & Library, savor a fragrant coffee, contemplate the pages of a good book, or engage in a few words with a new acquaintance – an experience that will be hard to forget if you happen to visit Da Nang.
Danang 1975 Coffee
Address: 30 Bach Dang, Hai Chau, Da Nang
Opening hours: 6 AM – 10 PM
Prices: 20k – 40k
True to its name, Danang 1975 Coffee recreates a Da Nang from 1975 with a classic, vintage space. The overall design of the cafe features old-fashioned architectural lines, adorned with countless rare and antique items that are hard to come by today: from the floral patterned stone floor to the hanging ceiling fans along the staircase, to the patched wooden door frames, and the echoes of ancient music in the air.
Visitors come to Danang 1975 not just for coffee but, above all, to immerse themselves in a nostalgic and peaceful space, inhaling the 'good old days' atmosphere. It seems like pouring one's heart into such a serene and tranquil space is the best way to dispel all weariness and gain energy for a new workweek.
