In early April, guests to Lakebus Coffee Shop located in 77 Nguyen Hang, Cam Le District, Da Nang, were treated to the exciting music night called "Thousand miles away" to mark the 22^th death anniversary of musician Trinh Cong Son in a cozy and beautifully decorated setting. Two old buses which are placed next to the coffee shop’s stage are used for seats to serve guests who like to enjoy coffee in a unique setting.

All engines and most of the seats were already removed from the two old buses to allow sufficient space for a few small tables and chairs that seat guests comfortably to enjoy coffee. In addition, the intention is to create a great customer experience with a beautiful check-in place.

The coffee shop uses prefabricated roof and wood paneling for walls to create a unique setting in the two old buses, as well as uses large iron drums as seats for guests. Besdides, tires of the two old busses are also recycled into tables and chairs that seat guests or are re-used for planting flowers on the premises of the coffee shop.

Furthermore, Lakebus is made even more impressive by spacious outdoor seating area featuring a flourishing plant-filled garden that can accommodate nearly 500 guests. Lakebus’s outdoor seating area is designed with different styles, including nostalgic, modern, romantic, liberal and somewhat messy styles.

Lakebus with stunning design makes it suitable for all ages. Like other cafes in the city, Lakebus offers a rich menu that allows guests to find what are they looking for, including fruit juices, bottled water products, and different types of coffee drinks.

Each corner of the coffee shop is designed to express a unique way, but it is mainly decorated with wooden items, mattresses, iron chairs, recycled products and trees in a bid to create a pleasant environment for guests to relax and unwind.

Every Friday night, Lakebus organizes a fascinating musical playground for its customers with different themes. Anyone with a good singing voice can register to stand on stage to show off their talents.

In its efforts to engage guests with music in a more interesting way, Lakebus offers cold beer, cocktails and some dried food for guests.
