Set in a small alley No 21/27 on Ong Ich Khiem Street in Da Nang, the vintage-style Lu Café promises to bring you warm and comfortable feelings, as well as help you alleviate stress and anxiety.

Walking into this classic café is like travelling through a time portal to a Da Nang City of a different era.

The vintage-inspired interior and timeless sountrack played at a moderate volume help enhance the café’s unique and retro feel, taking you back to a golden era while sipping your favourite drinks in nostalgic comfort.

The 50m² coffee shop only serves a maximum of 15 guests. It is the collection of remarkable vintage 1980s furniture, including wooden furniture, oil lamp, radios and black-and-white TVs.

On the spotlight at this inviting venue is a bookshelf with many different genres of books.

Lu Café is easily one of the best places in the city to get some work done in peace. Its abundance of power plugs, coupled with its extensive menu of premium drinks and food ensure maximum concentration as you enjoy uninterrupted work sessions while keeping the hunger pangs at bay.

A diverse selection of teas and coffee, served in adorable teacups and saucers, can be enjoyed with teatime favourites such as lemon cake and sandwiches.

Additionally, the coffee shop boats its chatty and pleasant staff, plus environmentally-friendly items such as paper straws and glasses, and bamboo spoons.   

It opens daily from 7.30am - 9.30pm.
