Phin Lounge

Phin Lounge sits near An Bang beach and does coffee seriously – the baristas know what they’re doing, and the latte gets repeated mentions as the best in the area (balanced enough for people who normally avoid strong coffee). Cold brew under the garden trees is the move on a hot afternoon.

The food skews healthy: granola bowls, avocado with poached egg, fresh fruit. But they also run a dinner menu with smoked duck and cao lau that holds up well – quiet evenings, soft lighting, not the kind of place that fills up with tour groups.

Hi runs coffee classes here that reviewers consistently praise for being informative without being boring. Worth booking if you want to actually understand what’s in your cup beyond ‘Vietnamese coffee is strong’.
