Lighthouse Da Nang Cafe: My Khe Beach
Hello everyone! Are you about to travel to Da Nang and don’t know how much food costs there? This coffee cafe and restaurant was on our top list even before we landed in Da Nang. Once we arrived at Lighthouse Da Nang Cafe around 11:00 in the morning. The smell hit us before we even got through the door fresh roasted coffee mixed with something baking in the back. We knew straight away this wasn’t going to be a quick coffee stop.
This blog provides a Lighthouse Da Nang Cafe review to give you more information and help you decide if it’s worth adding to your Da Nang trip. Well, as I said, Lighthouse isn’t just about the coffee.
What is Lighthouse Da Nang Cafe
Lighthouse is a coffee roastery and all-day dining spot in Da Nang, just a short ride from My Khe Beach. This cafe and restaurant is one of the most talked-about spots in the city, especially among digital nomads and people looking for a proper breakfast and a good workspace with the Da Nang lunch.
The building itself is part of what makes it worth visiting. It’s designed in an old East Coast industrial style, exposed brick walls, tall arched windows, metal trusses, and a high pitched ceiling. Inside, there are multiple seating levels, so you can pick a quiet corner upstairs or sit closer to the roastery downstairs and watch the beans being prepared.

What to order at Lighthouse
From our experience, here are a few things worth trying:
- Signature specialty coffee (Da Nang coffee)roasted on-site, so it’s noticeably fresher than most cafes nearby
- Chicken Avocado Salad one of the most recommended breakfast items, good portion size
- Salted coffee a Vietnamese twist that a lot of first-time visitors haven’t tried before
- Big Breakfast a lighter option if you just want something small with your coffee
Our experience for Da Nang Breakfast
For this article, we will talk about our experience once we went to visit Lighthouse in Da Nang. We went around 11:00 am, before it got busy, and got a table upstairs near the window. The staff were friendly and quick to explain the menu, which we appreciated since some items don’t have direct English translations.
We ordered the specialty Big Breakfast and the Chicken Avocado Salad, and both came out fast. Wifi was strong, and honestly half the room seemed to be working on laptops. So if you’re the type who needs a few hours to get things done while traveling. Lighthouse doubles as a solid workspace.
Is it worth it?
Yes, we think Lighthouse Da Nang Coffee Cafe is worth the visit, and from our experience, it’s one of the better cafes near My Khe Beach if you want good coffee, a proper breakfast, and a space that doesn’t feel rushed. It’s slightly more expensive than the small street-side coffee shops in Da Nang, but you’re paying for the roastery, the design, and the quieter atmosphere.
