(Entry to the contest "Impressions of Vietnamese coffee and tea" under the program "Honoring Vietnamese coffee and tea" for the 2nd time, 2024 organized by Nguoi Lao Dong Newspaper).
In a space of about 30 square meters, everything is arranged quite neatly and tidily. On the walls are enlarged black and white photos of famous landscapes of Da Lat taken in the 1950s. All of them remind visitors to return to the not-so-distant days of this city.
The owner of the restaurant is over 70 years old, often called Nga's father.
The owner is a man over 70, impresses with his bere and is often called dad by many people. He always has a way to please customers by paying attention to each taste, asking about the health of acquaintances, introducing tourist attractions to newcomers or telling each other stories about old Dalat...
Meeting point for all ages
The coffee at Nga Cafe has a delicious, unique flavor that is hard to confuse with other places because it is roasted, ground, and brewed according to its own recipe. And if you are "addicted", it's okay because the shop accepts shipping of ground coffee with the shop's brand everywhere.
Roasted coffee, brewed in your own style
At dawn, customers knock on the door of the shop. They are the old men and women who wake up early and stop by for a quick cup of coffee to warm up before starting their journey. Later, office workers enjoy coffee before going to work. During the day, the shop becomes a stopover and meeting place for tourists every time they come to the market.

The restaurant is not very big, so running out of tables and seats is a common thing. But having come all the way here, it seems that few people want to go home empty-handed. Asking to share a seat with a stranger is a solution that many people take advantage of when the restaurant is full but there are still seats left. If there are no seats left, then everyone will buy take-out.
As you can see, not only is it a place of business, the shop has become a gathering place, connecting people who love Da Lat regardless of their age.
