Banana split café
Description
A corner café next to the morning markets that earns its regulars through sheer consistency. Cold beer, egg coffee, fresh juices, and banh mi that multiple people have called the best they’ve had in Vietnam – that’s a bold claim, and the reviews back it up enough to take seriously.
Tay runs the place with her family and, by all accounts, actually remembers you the next day. That’s rarer than it sounds in a town where cafés outnumber bicycles.
The location does a lot of the heavy lifting – boats, tailors, walking streets, and the market circus all within eyeline. Morning coffee while the market sets up, cold beer while it winds down. Both work equally well here.
