  A very nice place with lots of plants outside that give it a cozy, inviting vibe, and the interior decoration is very charming. The mango sticky rice was delicious, the mango was incredibly sweet. The only small drawback was that, despite the menu listing more options, there was just one type of beer available. Overall, still a pleasant spot worth stopping by.

  A charming establishment housed in a meticulously preserved French colonial villa dating back to the 1920s. Its exterior, marked by weathered red tiles and lush monstera greenery, offers a serene, hidden-garden atmosphere. Inside, the decor features a striking contrast of exposed red brick walls and intricate encaustic cement tiles. The space functions as a miniature museum, showcasing an impressive collection of antiques including vintage cameras, a JVC tube television, and a functioning gramophone. The menu focuses on traditional Vietnamese brewing methods like "Cafe Vợt" and "Cafe Phin," alongside refreshing fruit teas. Despite the professional, English-speaking staff being welcoming to international visitors, pricing remains at very accessible local levels. It is an ideal spot for those seeking historical ambiance and tranquility.

  The atmosphere in the cafe is very relaxed and the soursap tea was amazing! Our reason to come was the fact that one can get useful information and book tours of the 'Lighthouse Con Dao' operator. We chose the combined hiking and snorkeling tour to Dam Tre Bay, which is in the north of the island, close to the airport. The hike is about 2 hours one way. During the snorkeling we saw some beautiful soft and hards corals plus in certain parts a lot of colourful fish. Thank you guys for the amazing day!

  I was lucky to find this cafe on the first day on the island, I came back almost every day during my stay. It’s a cute place to spend a few hours, beautifully decorated with good coffee and music. The owner and the staff are very friendly and will help you with organising guided tours and renting bikes or snorkelling gear. I will definitely come back to visit again next time.

  The reviews seemed really great, so I gave it a try and was not disappointed. The coffee was great, the staff were friendly and helpful. They let us take in sandwiches we bought in the market and we played one of the games they had available while we watched our coffee brew in the phen.
