If you’re anything like me, you live for those chill spots that serve more than just coffee—they serve stories, nostalgia, and the kind of vibes that make you just want to stick around. That’s exactly what I found at NAM House Cafe in Da Nang, Vietnam, and now I can’t stop going back. So if you love discovering cozy, character-filled coffee spots, buckle up because I’ve got a gem to share with you.
Where Coffee Meets Retro Charm
Da Nang is no stranger to trendy cafes, but NAM House? It’s in a league of its own. Tucked away on a quiet lane just off the lively Tran Phu Street in the Hai Chau area, NAM House feels like a secret getaway in the middle of the city hustle. The kind where time slows down and the old-world decor wraps around you like an antique hug.

Inside NAM House Cafe
Let’s talk interior. Trust me, you’ll want to take your time here. NAM House is brimming—and I mean brimming!—with nostalgia. The wooden stools and tables feel like they’ve lived a thousand stories. The walls are decorated with layers of history: vintage helmets, wartime artifacts, rusted typewriters, and hand-painted artwork.
The first time I came, I barely touched my drink because I was too busy examining every knick-knack in the room.
🍹 The Menu: So Much More than Coffee
Drink Menu
You’ll find the usual fare—coffee, smoothies, juices, teas—plus some unique Vietnamese favorites. My absolute go-to? The iced peanut coffee. Sounds unusual, right? But trust me, it’s a game changer. It’s creamy, nutty, and refreshing, especially on those hotter-than-heck Da Nang days.
I’ve also tried the legendary egg coffee here (a rich, frothy, sweetened eggy delight above robust espresso) and coconut coffee, which is equally dreamy.
🫘 Iced peanut coffee: 33,000 VND
🥚 Egg coffee: 33,000 VND
🥥 Coconut coffee: 40,000 VND
Each drink comes with chilled water or hot tea—just a thoughtful little touch that shows the staff really care.

- Front counter where you order
- A water-feature garden in the back (so soothing!)
- Access to restrooms
First floor
Second Floor
- No AC, but breezy with fans and open windows
- Tons of vintage goodies: old radios, leather jackets, Vietnamese flags
- Quieter, perfect for people-watching while sipping your brew
Second floor seating
I love sitting near the open windows upstairs with natural light pouring in. Each time, I pick a different antique to obsess over.
Let the Details Tell the Story
I’m convinced the “NAM” in NAM House stands for “Never A Moment wasted.” There’s something magical in slowly sipping hot coffee amid old helmets and sepia-toned art. Even the staircase is an experience—lined with antique motorbike gear and collectibles lovingly showcased.
Going upstairs
You might catch yourself wondering how anyone collected so many cool items, and you wouldn’t be alone. I do that every time I’m here.
Final Thoughts: A Little Nostalgia. A Lotta Great Coffee.
NAM House Cafe is like a living museum and comfy hangout rolled into one. And trust me—if you’re in Da Nang even for a day, this should be on your must-visit list. Whether you’re sipping a coconut coffee downstairs in the garden, escaping the heat with an iced peanut treat, or just in it for the artsy Instagram pics—you’re gonna love it here.
