Lighthouse

I came in at 9:00 AM to work, like most customers here - this café is usually full of people on laptops. Instead, management decided it was a good time for construction: staff were cutting metal window frames and repairing doors during business hours, with sparks from the angle grinder flying into the seating area where customers were sitting with their laptops and drinks. This is not a minor inconvenience — flying metal sparks near customers is a genuine safety hazard, on top of the noise and dust. Work like this belongs outside opening hours, or the café should simply close for the day. Doing it over the heads of paying customers shows zero respect for them. The location and the coffee don’t matter if you can’t sit there safely. Not recommended until management learns to schedule maintenance properly.

Lighthouse is a cute, quaint spot with a lot of potential. The space itself has a stylish, relaxed café feel, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The food was good overall, with reasonable prices and generous portion sizes. I had a nice, healthy breakfast, and my husband enjoyed most of his meal, though he found the chicken sandwich a little bland. That said, the overall dining experience was not quite what we were hoping for. This is definitely a great place if you are a digital nomad looking to work, eat, edit, or connect with others. However, if you are looking for a peaceful breakfast or a quiet place to chat, it may not be the best fit. The restaurant was full of people working on laptops, spreading out with equipment, and using the space more like a co-working café than a dining spot. It made the environment quite loud and busy. Seating was also a bit of a challenge. It felt a little like the Hunger Games trying to find an available seat, and it ultimately turned into community seating. We ended up sitting with a couple who were talking, coughing, and kissing throughout the meal, which was not exactly the dining experience we had in mind. Another small downside is that you have to order at the front before sitting down, which can feel a bit rushed when there is a line forming behind you. Overall, Lighthouse has good food, fair prices, friendly staff, and a cute atmosphere. I would recommend it if you want somewhere to work and eat, but not necessarily if you are looking for a calm, strictly dining-focused breakfast experience.

This used to be my favorite café. I had been going there for about 1.5 years, but over time I saw it change, and unfortunately not for the better. Mostly, this is not entirely their fault - the number of people visiting the café increased a lot, and sometimes you literally had to fight for a place just to sit somewhere. Maybe because of this, the level of service also dropped a bit. Sometimes they forget to give a spoon or a straw with the coffee, which makes it really difficult to drink. But honestly, these are just small things. The key moment for me was when I once found a thin, long, sharp metal object in my drink, almost like a needle. I can forgive many things and close my eyes to small issues, but this is genuinely dangerous. If I had swallowed it, I could have died if it got stuck in my throat or entered my lungs. This is unacceptable in any situation. At this point, it is not even about service anymore, but about basic safety. Also, many times I saw cockroaches running inside the café, and a couple of times even rats. But even that does not compare to finding something like a needle in a coffee. I would really like to leave an excellent review because this once was one of my favorite places, but because of several unacceptable situations, unfortunately I cannot give more than 3 stars. But I would also like to mention some positive things separately: the staff are very responsive, attentive, and friendly. That is genuinely true. The coffee is also very tasty, as well as some of the food. The pastries are delicious too. The place itself is beautiful and has a very cozy atmosphere. I really hope that in the future the café will be able to fix these mistakes and shortcomings 🫶🏻

Lighthouse has one of the best atmospheres for remote work and coffee in Da Nang. The industrial-style space feels open, modern, and comfortable, with plenty of natural light and a relaxed digital nomad vibe. The coffee quality is excellent, and the food menu has solid Western-style breakfast and brunch options. Wi-Fi is reliable, making it a good place for working or meetings, and the overall community energy is great if you enjoy being around other remote workers. The main downside is that it can get very busy during peak hours, especially in the mornings, so finding seating may take time. Service can occasionally feel disorganized when crowded, and food orders may arrive slowly. Overall, though, Lighthouse is still one of the top café-workspaces in Da Nang and definitely worth visiting if you want a stylish café with strong coffee and a productive atmosphere.

A Reddit post highlighted Lighthouse as one of only two must-visit coffee spots in Da Nang. In a country where high-quality coffee is a staple, narrowing the field to just two is quite an achievement; even better, they do not disappoint. They offer three standard roasts: light, "fun" (medium), and dark. The "fun" option is a seasonal blend, and we were able to sample a mix from three regions (Brazil being the only one I recall clearly). The depth of the aroma and tasting notes are remarkably pronounced—the strawberry bouquet was especially pleasant. My wife ordered a standard flat white and was very happy with her cup. I ordered a "Dirty," as I am partial to dark roasts. I was pleasantly surprised by the Vietnamese twist: a hint of condensed milk that made the drink sweeter, richer, and more velvety. The dark roast—a blend of Vietnamese and Ethiopian beans—provides a nice kick without being overpowering, finishing with a subtle chocolatey aroma. The pastries and food items are equally well-crafted and complement the coffee selection perfectly. While their croissants and French pastries are fantastic, I would love to see them introduce some local Vietnamese items to the menu as well (a breakfast Banh Mi, perhaps?). In a city full of great coffee, this place managed to stand out. It turns out the Reddit recommendation was spot on. It’s easily some of the best coffee we had in Da Nang, and I’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in town.

Stopped by Lighthouse Coffee & Roaster for a work session and ended up staying longer than planned. The coffee was really good, especially if you’re into freshly roasted beans, and the atmosphere felt relaxed without being too quiet. Plenty of space to settle in with a laptop, good natural light, and an overall vibe that made it easy to stay productive for a few hours.

This is a great place to work & chat for the digital nomad!! Multi levels with plenty of bench’s for singles and tables and chairs for groups!! The coffee is great and the food is amazing!!! Latte and match latte was nice and matcha comes with e stick of match Kit Kat!! The burger was amazing too, bun toasted, wagyu burger was tasty with the bacon and mayo. I separated the onion rings so it was less stacey and easier to eat!! The fries was also delicious, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside! Also tried this salmon avocado with scrambled eggs and chicken avocado salad… it’s hard to find a coffee place with nice food and this is definitely one of them. And I haven’t got to their bakery yet… their croissant was very puffed and delicious so does their nice selection of patties. You can easily work there all day, which I have been… there are power plugs along all the benches and some tables! Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all good!! Perfect for the Digital Nomad!!! Please take note that this place is the busiest during brunch lunch hours and be prepared to queue, the tables does flip fast as there are quite a few seats… but avoiding the peak hours are the best… say after 2pm!!

Not a bad place. The coffee is good as are the pastries. Getting a seat is tough. Lots of tables of 4 taken by one person on their laptop. If you are a bigger group than one it is sometimes hard to find somewhere to sit as single customers take up more space than they should. The staff could manage this problem but they seem young and inexperienced. Patrons could be more considerate but that's a lot to ask of this generation! It seems taking up a lot of space whilst nursing a coffee for ages so you can work in air conditioned comfort is the way forward.
