Da Lat cafes: who roasts their own and what a cup costs

Coffee grows half an hour from Da Lat, so roasting here is not marketing but a room behind glass in the cafe. A cup costs from 20,000₫ at a street cart to 110,000₫ at a valley-view place; specialty sits at 40,000–70,000. Here is who roasts their own beans, what to order besides a latte, and where to go for the farm itself.

The cafes that roast their own

An in-house roaster is what separates a Da Lat cafe from a chain: the beans come from farms nearby, and you smell them from the door.

• La Viet Coffee, 200 Nguyen Cong Tru — a roastery in a converted warehouse where the production floor is open to the room. Drinks are 30,000–60,000₫, the cheapest specialty cup in town.
• The Married Beans — two branches, 6 Nguyen Van Troi and 35-3 Yersin. Drinks 40,000–70,000₫; the Yersin branch has a separate work room.
• Đậm Đà Lạt Coffee Roasters, 138 Yersin — a pour-over station behind the bar and a page of house drinks. Americano 50, espresso 55, cappuccino and latte 65, mocha 75. Cold brew on passion fruit, mulberry or wampee 65–67; oat milk adds 10.
• Ori Coffee & Brunch, 11A Dinh Tien Hoang — the roaster stands behind a glass wall in a room marked PHÒNG RANG. Espresso 45, americano 50, cappuccino 60, latte 65, mocha 70, cold brew 60. The seat is free and there are meeting rooms.

What to order besides a latte

The Vietnamese half of the menu usually runs 10,000–20,000₫ below the European one and arrives faster: the phin filter is brewed in advance.

• Cà phê sữa đá — black coffee with condensed milk over ice, 45,000–50,000₫ in a cafe and 20,000–30,000 at a street cart. The baseline everything else is measured against.
• Bạc xỉu — the same but milkier, 50,000₫. For anyone who finds Vietnamese coffee too strong.
• Cold brew on local fruit — passion fruit, mulberry, Da Lat strawberry: 60,000–67,000₫. Steeped for sixteen hours, with the fruit acidity doing half the work rather than acting as flavouring.
• Coffee with a local twist: Croissant in Dalat at 15A Tran Hung Dao brews coffee with black garlic; a cup or a croissant is 45,000–65,000₫.

What a cup costs

• A street cart or a market stall — 20,000–30,000₫.
• A cafe roasting its own beans — 40,000–70,000₫. That covers La Viet, Married Beans, Đậm, Ori, Phe La (45,000–75,000) and Sì Dalat, where a cappuccino is 55,000.
• An old city cafe is cheaper: Tung at 6 Khu Hoa Binh stays at 30,000–45,000₫.
• You pay for the view: Thô's Artisan on the roof at 10 Phan Boi Chau is 50,000–100,000₫, and the Me Linh coffee garden 20 km out of town 40,000–110,000.
• For comparison, the chains: Starbucks at Galaxy Tulips by the market is 55,000–85,000₫.

Cafes that are not only about coffee

• Q Bunny Cafe, 36/34 Nguyen Luong Bang — rabbits in the room, drinks 45,000–65,000₫.
• LSD Coffee Mèo, 71 Hung Vuong — the same idea with cats.
• Still Cafe, 59 Nguyen Trai — a Japanese courtyard with Totoro, visited for the photo rather than the bean.
• Le Pin Dessert & More, 6 Trieu Viet Vuong — a cafe with its own bakery.

Prices come from menus photographed on the spot in July and August 2026; each place card carries its own check date. Cafes here open and close fast, so check the card before a long trip across town.

Options and prices

Thô's Artisan Coffee gợi ý

Rooftop of 10 Phan Boi Chau, above the 10th floor · 06:00–22:00

50–100k₫

$1.90–3.80

a cup · khoảng

The city seen from above: a rooftop over the tenth floor with the whole valley in front of you. Open from six in the morning, so the sunrise view costs the price of a coffee.

Cần biết trước. You cannot just walk up. The lobby entrance is on the right of the building; tell the concierge you are going to the cafe on the tenth floor — he taps his own card and only then does the lift move. When you step out, take one more flight of stairs up: the cafe is a floor above the lift. Seating is under a roof, so rain does not cancel the visit.

Cẩn thận. Prices are two to three times a normal Da Lat cafe — you are paying for the view.

Sì Dalat — European coffee bar

42 Phu Dong Thien Vuong, corner of Vo Truong Toan, Lam Vien · 06:00–22:00

55k₫

$2.10

a cappuccino · đã kiểm chứng

The place to go in Da Lat if you want coffee the European way: cappuccino and latte pulled on an espresso machine, not the phin drip with condensed milk that most cafes around here serve. There is no kitchen — the only food is cookies, four kinds in glass jars on the counter, and a small shortbread one comes with every cup.

Cần biết trước. Open every day from 06:00 to 22:00 — the hours are printed on the window. Leave the motorbike across the street: the power cabinet by the door carries a sticker asking guests to park opposite. The room is small — a few tables and two rows of green leather booths along the walls.

Cẩn thận. You cannot eat here: no hot food and no pastry, only cookies. Plan breakfast and lunch somewhere else.

Still Cafe — a Japanese courtyard with a Totoro

59 Nguyen Trai, Lam Vien

A cafe in a glass pavilion in the middle of a green yard: a greenhouse frame, wooden tables, and nothing in the windows but trees and a wall under vines. The second room is wooden, with tubular leather armchairs and paper lamps shaped like fish. The yard itself is dressed as Japan — koinobori carp streamers over the roof, a concrete Totoro with a yellow umbrella, a Japanese bus-stop sign by the entrance.

Cần biết trước. The yard is shared with the neighbours: at the back is Kaito, a noodle shop with red noren curtains — if coffee turns into lunch, you do not have to go anywhere.

Đậm Đà Lạt Coffee Roasters — own roast on Yersin

138 Yersin, Lam Vien

50–80k₫

$1.90–3.00

a cup · đã kiểm chứng

A roastery cafe: an espresso machine and a pour-over station behind the bar, brewing posters on the wall, and a menu with a page of its own drinks — cold brews on local fruit and coffee with almond. Upstairs is a wooden room with tall windows into the greenery, bookshelves and soft benches: a place people sit in for hours, not a five-minute stop.

Cần biết trước. Prices from the menu photographed on the spot on 15 August 2026: americano 50k ₫, espresso 55k, cappuccino and latte 65k, mocha 75k. The house drinks — đậm đen (black) and đậm sữa (with condensed milk) — are 55k, bạc xỉu 67k, almond dirty coffee 60k. Cold brew on passion fruit, mulberry or wampee runs 65–67k. Oat milk adds 10k, an extra shot 20k.

Croissant in Dalat — croissants and black garlic coffee

15A Tran Hung Dao, Xuan Huong

45–65k₫

$1.70–2.50

a coffee or a croissant · đã kiểm chứng

A cafe that turned the local oddity into a menu: black garlic is grown in Lam Dong, and here it goes into a signature coffee, a latte and even ice cream. The taste is not garlicky in the usual sense — fermented garlic reads closer to molasses and balsamic. The other half of the place is a bakery: butter croissants baked daily. We tried the coffee and the pastry ourselves and have no complaints. The stone-walled room looks into a garden, and upstairs there is a roastery with its own roaster and shelves of beans.

Cần biết trước. Black garlic coffee is 55,000₫, and the affogato on it costs the same. Plain coffee is cheaper: black, with milk or bac xiu at 45, cappuccino and latte at 55. Croissants run 55–65,000₫. Know about the almond one in advance: it is not the French pastry with almond cream inside, but an ordinary croissant scattered with flaked almonds. Mousse of the day 45, tiramisu and strawberry waffles 59, ice cream 55. The croissants are made with French Elle & Vire butter, as the banner at the entrance claims, along with daily coffee roasting. The menu boards and the receipt say Cafe Toi Den — same place, that is the name of the venue with the coffee side. The menu is duplicated in English, which is rare here. The crockery, the light and the plating are clearly built for a camera: people come here to shoot, too.

Cẩn thận. Maps send you to the wrong spot: 15A Tran Hung Dao puts you at the top by the wooden sign, while the cafe is below — an asphalt slope runs down from there. No car can get down, as the sign at the entrance warns; call 0968 115 005 and they will tell you where to leave it. On a motorbike or on foot there is no problem. Navigate to our pin rather than to the address.

Q Bunny Cafe — a cafe with rabbits

36/34 Nguyen Luong Bang, Xuan Huong

45–65k₫

$1.70–2.50

a drink · đã kiểm chứng

A cafe with rabbit pens set around the room, and the rabbits can be picked up. The owner is Singaporean, meets guests himself and talks to them; there is no separate charge for the rabbits, you just order something from the menu. The house is built out of coloured shutters, old doors and planks, with books and lamps inside — homely rather than a photo set. The coffee is strong: even the latte comes out dense, worth knowing if you are used to a milky one.

Cần biết trước. Coffee runs 40–59,000₫: black 40, latte and cappuccino 52, salt coffee 55, coconut 55. Tea, chocolate and matcha 55–65, yogurt drinks and milk tea 49–59. The food is more than pastry: pasta 65–89, waffles and crepes 65–69, toasties 55–65, Asian rice and noodles 75–79, and pizza in three sizes, from 89,000₫ for the small to 229,000 for a large with two flavours. There is a kids' menu at 45,000₫.

Ori Coffee & Brunch — four floors to work in, with its own roastery

11A Dinh Tien Hoang, Xuan Huong

miễn phí

for a seat · đã kiểm chứng

Four floors of glass where working is free: nobody charges for the seat, you pay only for what you order. The tables run along the windows — from the upper floors you look out over tiled roofs and the town, from the ground floor over the trees and the street. The chairs are wooden with padded bolsters at the back: not office chairs, but you can sit in one for several hours, which is more than can be said for the stools in most cafes here. The wi-fi runs at 400 Mbit/s. There are separate meeting rooms, so a call does not have to happen in the middle of the main room. The coffee is roasted on the spot: the roaster stands behind a glass wall in a room marked PHÒNG RANG, with scales and beans beside it.

Cần biết trước. Prices from the menu photographed on the spot on 22 August 2026, in thousands of ₫. Coffee: espresso 45, americano 50, cappuccino 60, latte 65, latte on plant milk 65, half-and-half latte 65, mocha 70. Cold: a sixteen-hour cold brew 60, the same with lemon, Da Lat strawberry or milk also 60, tonic coffee 55, americano with lemon 60. Matcha: latte 65, on plant milk 70, half-and-half 70, chocolate 60. Tea — four options at 65: earl grey with lemon, jasmine with starfruit jam, oolong with Da Lat strawberry, lotus with mulberry. The menu header states what goes in: Vietnamese catimor and Brazilian arabica, local Da Lat milk, matcha grown on the Lam Dong plateau and processed in Japan. There is a cake display by the bar. Look for the logo rather than the name: the round coffee bean on the sign stands in for the first letter, so from the street it reads RI COFFEE & BRUNCH.

Cẩn thận. We only photographed the drinks list — coffee, tea, matcha and chocolate at 45,000–70,000₫. The sign says brunch, but we never saw a food menu or its prices. We did not note the opening hours either, so turning up early or late is a gamble.
