  I had a really wonderful experience at Xlii Coffee. I was already drawn in by their beautiful outdoor decorations before even stepping inside. The staff were very knowledgeable and patiently explained every detail about the coffees. I also tried what they call the world’s best coffee — the aroma was fantastic, and it’s true that different beans deliver completely different flavors and sensations. It was truly refreshing. Overall, a fantastic experience!

  Amazing coffee experience. My son and I are coffee lovers and thoroughly enjoyed our taste buds here. Beautiful space and cute friendly dogs! We had breakfast and everything was so yummy. Definitely returning. Staff are super friendly and knowledgeable.

  xliii specialty coffee is easily one of the most beautifully designed cafés I’ve visited. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted by soaring ceilings with exposed concrete beams and industrial elements that somehow feel warm rather than cold. The skylight floods the space with natural light, creating this amazing interplay between the raw architecture and the cozy café vibe. The minimalist white counters paired with black metal accents and strategic greenery give it a very contemporary, almost gallery-like feel. The pendant lighting adds just the right amount of warmth to balance the industrial aesthetic. It’s clear that every design element was intentional. Whether you’re here for the coffee or the atmosphere (or let’s be honest, both), xliii delivers on creating a memorable experience. It’s one of those places that makes you want to linger a little longer. Highly recommend for coffee lovers, remote workers, and anyone who appreciates thoughtful design.

  Visited from Japan with my family. The architecture, atmosphere, service, and coffee quality were all outstanding. I had the Santa Lucia Triangulo Gesha, and its floral aroma and complex flavors were unlike anything I had experienced before. As a hairstylist, I deeply appreciate craftsmanship and attention to detail, and I could feel the same passion here. One of the most memorable coffee experiences of my life. Highly recommended when visiting Da Nang.

  I really enjoyed this café. The coffee is excellent — a bit on the expensive side, but definitely worth it. What I love most is that they prepare the coffee right in front of you, so you can actually see the process. It makes the whole experience feel more special and authentic. The staff speak English very well and are friendly, which makes it comfortable for both locals and foreigners. The space is great — perfect for working or having a conversation. There’s also outdoor seating, which I personally love. Overall, it’s a place I’d happily come back to.

  Honestly shocked at the cost of this place. By far the most I have ever paid for a cup of coffee in my life and I would consider myself a coffee snob back in the US getting geishas and other honorablly expensive beans and pour overs. Secondly I was not impressed with the coffee. I found the pour to be pretty small for $12 USD for a single cup. I also found it to be extremely watery. We also got the milk coffee and that was just ok but I thought a traditional Vietnamese coffee with milk was better. Additionally we were shorted 100.000d and didn't realize until we had left (I know our fault) but we were shocked we even had to worry about that since that hasn't been an issue at all with local food. We also had to pay by cash since the card reader was down which is fine but with the cost being so high almost 500,000d (I'm including the 100,000d) for two cups of coffee, it took a lot of cash we were not expecting to spend. Obviously not everything was bad, the atmosphere is good and the koi ponds with the sunked tables outside are great. Wifi is good and it's a good place to work from and open late. Also the food looked very good (didn't order any) if not overpriced as well. But overall I'm wouldn't return.

  I had a cup of coffee that cost 375,000 VND (around 21,000 KRW). To be honest, at this price point, I felt I could have experienced a much more refined and professionally crafted coffee in Korea. It was clear that they were using high-quality beans, but unfortunately, the flavors didn’t seem to be fully brought out. My wife ordered a decaf coffee, and after adding the milk that was recommended to her, much of the coffee’s original character disappeared, leaving it tasting rather ordinary. That said, the atmosphere of the café was excellent. It was very quiet and peaceful — a perfect place to enjoy some personal time. The staff also spoke English fluently and were exceptionally kind, which left a very positive impression. If they plan to maintain this price range, I think paying a bit more attention not only to the space and service, but also to the quality of the extraction and the overall coffee experience, would make it a far better experience overall. Of course, this is just my personal opinion :)

  The ambiance is great, but the service leaves much to be desired. The staff at the counter / coffee guide (with timberland shoes) was rather arrogant, isn’t particularly welcoming. The only exception was the barista with glasses, who was friendly and happy to share his knowledge. Coffee prices average around 350,000 VND per cup. Be aware that if you ask for a recommendation to match with weather in Danang, you’ll likely be directed to the most expensive coffee on the menu (750,000 VND). Regarding quality of coffee - the one I chose was not best match with my taste…
