145 Espresso Cafe
Description
A family-run espresso cafe that takes its coffee seriously. The coconut coffee comes up again and again in reviews, and for good reason – it’s the kind of drink that makes you annoyed you didn’t order two. They also do phin, smoothies, and pastries worth taking one for the road.
The family running this place is the whole point. Multiple visitors mention feeling welcomed rather than processed, which is rarer than it should be in a tourist-heavy town. Free water is a nice touch (and yes, the bathrooms are apparently excellent, which matters more than people admit).
Practical notes: cash only, so sort that out before you sit down. The location pairs well with a bowl of mì quảng from Ong Hai nearby, if you want to make a morning of it.
