The town has three proper places to work, and they solve different problems: a coworking space with desks and quiet for money, a room open around the clock where the seat costs nothing, and a three-floor cafe with separate rooms but a weak line. Everything else is cafes with sockets — also a working option, if you know what to expect.
The three places to actually work
ThomWork is a coworking space proper: desks, chairs you can sit in for eight hours, a quiet room. Half a day 75,000₫, a day 120,000, an unlimited month 1.75M. Open 8am to midnight.
Workspace Coffee Dalat is a working room open around the clock, and the seat is free. It is the only option when it is daytime for your client in Europe and night here.
Ori Coffee & Brunch — three glass-walled floors of work seats plus separate rooms, and the seat is free. There is a socket at every table and plenty of light. But the wi-fi is weak: on a working visit it carried neither a video call nor screen sharing, and sitting for long is hard on the plain wooden stools. Coffee roasted on site, 45,000–70,000₫ a cup.
Cafes fitted out for a laptop
The tables and sockets are fine, but they are still cafes: noisy by lunchtime, no reserved seat, and they shut at the same time as your working day.
One More Cafe — the third floor is given over to working.
The Married Beans on Yersin — a separate workspace.
Trang Coworking on Pham Ngoc Thach.
On the internet: ten megabits is not your flat City guides keep repeating the figure of 10 Mbit — that is the public layer: cafe wi-fi and a cheap router in a twenty-room guesthouse. Home fibre is a different service: we measured our own line on 5 August 2026 at 380 Mbit down with a 19 ms ping, on a 190–195,000₫ monthly plan. Across five months, rainy season included, it never dropped; the power goes more often than the fibre, so the backup to keep is a UPS and a SIM card rather than a second provider.
Prices and hours come from the place cards, checked in August 2026. The home line measurement is our own, 5 August 2026; details in the article about internet.
A coffee shop with a working room that never closes — and does not charge for the seat. In a town where almost everything goes dark by nine, and the one proper coworking space shuts at midnight and costs 120,000₫ a day, that is a rare thing: you can turn up at three in the morning with a laptop, when the client in Europe is mid-working-day.
Worth knowing. Call 0399 682 903 to check whether the room is open on a particular night: round-the-clock here rests on people rather than on a schedule. Power and wi-fi are what people come for; the wall socket is the first thing taken.
A farmer cooperative covering roughly 120 hectares and 60-plus partner farms, roasting multiple origins. Beans run 145–450k a bag if you want to take Da Lat home.
Worth knowing. The Yersin site is the workspace branch — the closest thing Da Lat has to a coworking café.
A dedicated coworking rather than a cafe with wifi: proper desks, chairs you can sit in for eight hours, and a quiet room — the thing missing from every cafe in town.
Worth knowing. Rates:
- half a day, four hours — 75k ₫
- a day — 120k
- ten visits over three months — 950k
- a month with no limit — 1.75M
No booking needed, you walk in and sit down. The way in is through the NGỰ cafe from the street, then up to the first floor. They work until midnight, a rarity in a town where almost everything shuts at nine.
Western food and a mountain view on the way up Robin Hill. Expats come here and settle in with their laptops: there are sockets by the tables and the internet runs at 35 Mbps.
The expat living room. Australian-run brunch, burgers and pasta, and the third floor doubles as the nearest thing Da Lat has to a coworking space.
Worth knowing. The upstairs floor works as the town's de facto coworking: wifi measures 25–35 Mbps, no day pass, you just order. Busiest between ten and two.
Three floors of work seats plus separate rooms, and the seat itself is free — you pay only for what you order. The glazing is continuous, so every floor gets plenty of light: tables run along the windows, the upper floors look over tiled roofs and the town, the ground floor over the trees and the street. Sockets are well placed and there is one at every seat, so no cable across half the room. The coffee is roasted here and it is genuinely good: the roaster stands behind a glass wall in a room marked PHÒNG RANG, with scales and beans beside it. The separate rooms are the move when you need to shut the main room out.
Worth knowing. Prices from the menu photographed on the spot on 22 August 2026, in thousands of ₫:
- espresso 45, americano 50, cappuccino 60, latte 65, mocha 70
- sixteen-hour cold brew 60, coffee with tonic 55
- matcha latte 65, on plant milk 70
- tea, four options, at 65
The head of the menu says what it is made from: Vietnamese catimor and Brazilian arabica, Da Lat milk, matcha grown on the Lam Dong plateau and processed the Japanese way. There is a cake cabinet by the counter. Find the house by its logo: a round bean stands in place of the first letter on the sign, so from the street it reads RI COFFEE & BRUNCH. The full menu is in the photos below.
Careful. The wi-fi is weak. On a working visit on a Monday afternoon it carried neither a video call nor even screen sharing — do not plan calls here, only offline work or something light. Sitting for long is uncomfortable: the seats are not chairs but hard wooden stools with a back rest, and after a couple of hours you feel it. It is not always quiet: families with children and schoolkids come in during the day and phones play out loud in the main room — for focused work take one of the separate rooms. There was no food at all on that visit, despite the brunch on the sign, so do not arrive hungry. We did not note the opening hours.
