Top 10 Beautiful Cafes Near Dragon Bridge
Highlands Coffee VTV8
We had the pleasure of visiting Highlands Coffee VTV8, a prime location within the Highlands Coffee chain. Located adjacent to the VTV8 television station and offering a view of the Dragon Bridge, we found it delightful to enjoy a cup of coffee while taking in the city’s sparkling night lights, all set to the tune of gentle ballad music.
Highlands Coffee is recognized among coffee enthusiasts for its simple yet elegant architectural style, which exudes a classical and sophisticated charm. We were particularly struck by the design of Highlands VTV8, with its unique two-story circular structure, spacious interior, and ample parking space.
The venue is thoughtfully divided into two areas: a ‘do-it-yourself’ area on the lower floor and a modern coffee space on the upper floor, complete with air conditioning and a beautiful view. We found the second floor to be lively and vibrant, while the ground floor offered a quieter, more tranquil experience.
The decor at Highlands Coffee follows a minimalist and elegant approach. As such, we noted that the venue might not appeal to those who prefer novelty, cuteness, and vibrant colors. We encourage you to consider this aspect when choosing your preferred setting.
In our opinion, Highlands Coffee VTV8 is an ideal destination for those searching for a beautiful cafe near the Dragon Bridge. Our personal experience there was both enjoyable and memorable.

Molly’s Coffee
Its location, right under the foot of the Dragon Bridge and near the Love Bridge, offers an invaluable view that is hard to match. However, we noted that this cafe does not receive high ratings for the quality of its drinks and prices.
With a rating of 3.2/5 stars, most customers do not highly rate the drinks here. Despite this, many appreciate the view at Molly’s, describing it as a quiet and cool location, suitable for chatting with friends. The cafe offers views of the Han River, the Dragon Bridge with its fire-breathing display at night, and more.
If you’re seeking a picturesque view and a tranquil cafe where lights shimmer on the calm surface of the river, observing the Marina cruise terminal or the Carp turning into a dragon, then Molly’s Cafe could be a good choice for you. Customer reviews may vary based on individual preferences, so if you’re not overly concerned about the drink quality, we encourage you to go and experience it for yourself!

Phuc Long Coffee & Tea
With numerous branches throughout the city, we would like to highlight two beautiful cafes near Dragon Bridge: Phuc Long Cafe on Nguyen Van Linh Street and Phuc Long Coffee & Tea on Tran Hung Dao Street. Both locations offer views of Dragon Bridge and the Han River, ensuring a delightful experience.
For those who appreciate the taste of Vietnamese coffee, we recommend trying some of Phuc Long’s famous coffee drinks like Golden Lotus Almond Coffee, Cafe Latte, Cafe Cappuccino, etc. However, we found that Phuc Long is most popular for its various tea selections, especially fruit-flavored teas such as Lychee Tea, Peach Tea, Herbal Tea, Longan Tea, etc.
Our interaction with the well-trained and customer-oriented staff at Phuc Long was highly satisfactory. We particularly appreciated that Phuc Long’s menu system is always updated with new items, offering a diverse range of options at varying price points to cater to everyone.
In addition, Phuc Long also provides products like packaged tea, canned tea, coffee sets, and various types of mooncakes, making it a one-stop shop.

Coffee Trinh
Despite its classic old-time style, it’s immensely popular among young people, making it a bustling spot. With four locations in Da Nang, we found the Le Dinh Duong branch to be an ideal destination for those seeking a beautiful cafe near Dragon Bridge.
Embracing a vintage style and simple design, Coffee Trinh exudes its unique charm. We were intrigued by the old cassette players and tapes, reminiscent of the childhood memories of many generations, and even antique motorcycles from distant times.
Coffee Trinh not only evokes nostalgic memories but also serves as a peaceful haven for those seeking tranquility. It offers a space to read old books and relax to the gentle tunes of Trinh music. The energetic and friendly staff create a comfortable atmosphere for customers.
The signature dish of the cafe is avocado coffee priced at 39,000 VND per cup. According to some customers’ reviews, it tastes like an avocado smoothie with added coffee, delivering a delightful aroma and richness that we recommend trying.
Coffee Trinh provides numerous picturesque corners for photo opportunities. If you’re looking for beautiful pictures, we suggest visiting early in the morning when the cafe is less crowded. Due to the high customer influx, seating arrangements might be a bit chaotic, and the outdoor area can be noisy. Therefore, if you prefer a quieter ambiance, we recommend the interior section of the cafe.

Ut Coffee Shop
Every time we passed by, we were drawn to its ancient space, an old house selling coffee amidst the modern city. The green and wooden tones of the cafe seemed to slow down time as we sat there, savoring a cup of traditionally flavored coffee while watching the flow of traffic. Ut Coffee Shop is a place that preserves many unique and distinctive features.
Compared to many modern cafes in Da Nang, Ut Coffee Shop is built and designed with inspiration from ancient houses. The walls, made of interwoven wooden panels with warm brown tones, and adorned with a few paintings and vintage items, carry the imprint of time.
The menu at Ut Coffee Shop includes some familiar drinks, expertly crafted and affordably priced, ranging from 17,000 to 35,000 VND. Our experience of enjoying a cup of delicious coffee and chatting about life while observing the passing traffic was undoubtedly ideal.
In addition to the drink menu, Ut Coffee Shop also has a small and special grocery store, selling only sweets and a few familiar items. We enjoyed choosing from a few items there to accompany our coffee. This beautiful grocery store holds many childhood memories for many people, as it offers some small cakes that may have been tried before, loved, and whose flavors will always be remembered.

ADOR Dalgona coffee
We had the opportunity to try the Dalgona coffee at Ador, a popular beverage in Da Nang. This unique combination of coffee, condensed milk, and froth has won over many patrons, even those who aren’t typically fond of coffee. The sweet froth on top, combined with a not-too-strong latte layer below, creates a delightful balance. In particular, the egg froth coffee mixed with egg cream is a drink that we found to be quite enjoyable.
Depending on your preference, we suggest two ways to enjoy the delicious dalgona coffee at Ador:
- Use a spoon to savor the froth layer to feel the crispiness, allowing the froth to gradually melt in your mouth before enjoying the coffee layer.
- Stir well to blend the layers together and then savor. This way, you’ll experience the harmony between the flavor and aroma.
The café’s space is cute and airy. If you visit during the rainy season, seating may be limited, so we recommend going on sunny days for more photo opportunities. The drinks here are rated at an average level, depending on individual tastes. The major drawback is that the parking space is quite far from the café, creating some inconvenience.
However, a significant compensation is the melted butter baguette, rich and fragrant, which is a best-selling dish at the café. The melted butter baguette and Dalgona coffee make a perfect duo that you shouldn’t miss when visiting Da Nang. This flavor will linger in your memory. It is considered one of the unique coffee options in Da Nang. Additionally, the café frequently offers various discount programs and promo codes, so we suggest following their fan page to stay updated on these promotions.

Tigon Coffee
Its central location and spacious, airy layout make it easy for tourists to find and enjoy. Adorned with an abundance of greenery, the two-story venue provides a refreshing and pleasing atmosphere.
Tigon Milktea often receives high praise from visitors, and with menu prices ranging from 25,000 to 42,000 VND, we believe it’s a worthwhile experience to both enjoy the ambiance and taste the beverages offered.
However, some feedback indicates that due to limited fans, the venue could potentially become uncomfortably warm, particularly during hot midday hours. Hence, to maximize the enjoyment of your visit, we recommend choosing times in the early morning or evening when the weather tends to be cooler.

La Bonne Café Da Nang
We appreciate the unique charm of La Bonne, a café creatively decorated with greenery and delightful adornments spread across two floors. The venue offers numerous picturesque corners, both indoors and outdoors, making it an ideal spot for capturing beautiful photos, particularly during festive seasons.
The Japanese-inspired interior design of La Bonne Café, complete with coffee tables and small cushions, creates a warm and inviting ambiance. This, coupled with the meticulously crafted beverages by a dedicated team of bartenders, makes for a delightful experience.
La Bonne Café is particularly known for its vibrant and tasty fruit yogurt drinks. Two items that have received high praise from customers are the salted cream coffee and egg cream coffee. The smooth cream layer harmoniously blends with the coffee, making it enjoyable even for those who aren’t typically coffee enthusiasts.
With a diverse drink menu priced between 15,000 to 40,000 VND, Hanami considers the café’s pricing to be quite reasonable given its location and offerings. The quiet and spacious second floor of La Bonne Café has become a favored study spot among young people.
Additionally, the café often runs special promotions during holidays. We recommend taking advantage of these offers for a unique and memorable experience.

When visiting, we strongly suggest trying the waffle, priced at 25,000 VND. If purchased with a drink, you receive a 20% discount on the waffle. The waffle, warm and crispy on the outside, neither too thick nor too thin, is served with sweet honey and light butter. It’s indeed a delightful treat!
