The Espresso Station

Description

Tucked down a side alley away from the Ancient Town crowds, The Espresso Station takes coffee seriously enough that the menu will actually slow you down (in a good way). The beans are sourced from Da Lat, and the 18-hour Dutch drip cold brew tastes like it has no business being this good for the price.

The specialty list goes deep – coconut coffee, egg coffee, the Dark Soul Latte – and the staff will help you pick if you’re paralyzed by options. Presentation is careful without being precious, and the space has a quieter, more intimate feel than anything on the main tourist drag.

Food is secondary here but the granola bowl gets mentioned enough to be worth ordering if you’re staying a while. Come in the afternoon when the alley light gets good and you have nowhere to be.
