NGHÉ Rice Paddy Cafe
Description
A cafe sitting right at the edge of working rice paddies, a short ride outside the old town. The setting does a lot of the heavy lifting, but the food and coffee are good enough to justify the trip rather than just the Instagram stop.
The salted coffee gets specific praise. Food skews fresh and light – salads, topped bread, that kind of thing. One reviewer liked it enough to skip every other cafe in Hoi An for their entire stay, which is a reasonable endorsement.
Go in the morning or late afternoon. Midday in the heat with limited air-conditioned seating is a different, less pleasant experience (the rice fields don’t come with shade).
Highlights
