☕️ An Cafe in Nha Trang｜Tropical Vibes, But Not for Remote Work?
Looking for a stylish cafe while traveling often leads you to charming, nature-filled places like this. But let’s face it—”great atmosphere” doesn’t always mean “great for work.”
In this post, I share my honest experience visiting An Cafe, a local chain with several locations across Nha Trang, from the perspective of a digital nomad.
📘 Quick Glance
| Aspect | Review & Comments |
|---|---|
| Atmosphere | ✅ Beautiful mix of natural wood and tropical greenery |
| Drinks | ✅ Tasty, sweet, satisfying. Slow service. |
| Wi-Fi | ❌ Slow speeds—not ideal for work |
| Power Outlets | ❌ Limited and not accessible from all seats |
| Customers | 🇰🇷 Mostly tourists from Korea, Russia, and China |
| Airflow/AC | ⚠️ Open-air fans outside; air-conditioned indoor seating available |
🟩 First Impressions
- Located in the central area of Nha Trang, with easy access.
- A two-story wooden structure that feels spacious and airy.
- When I visited, the front was packed with parked motorbikes—a good sign of local popularity.
🌳 Immersive Tropical Ambience
- A large tree grows at the center, surrounded by seats and a mini water feature.
- Natural lighting and warm wood tones create a relaxing vibe.
- Second floor is quieter, breezy, and somewhat cooler.
- The open-air space is covered and equipped with fans.
- There seems to be indoor seating with air conditioning too.
☕ Drinks & Ordering Process
- I ordered an iced tea-style drink—it was flavorful and refreshing.
- However, the sweetness was quite strong. One cup was more than enough.
- It took around 20 minutes from ordering to receiving the drink.
💡 Note: I visited on a Sunday during the peak tourist season in July. A local told me July is one of the busiest months for tourism in Nha Trang.
💻 Wi-Fi Speed & Work Conditions
- Download speed: 11 Mbps
- Upload speed: 22 Mbps
- Latency: 34ms (tested via Fast.com)
- There were some power outlets scattered around, but not all seats had access to them.
👉 If you’re planning to work remotely, this might not be the ideal spot.
🛍️ Coffee Beans & Souvenirs
- They sell various beans: Robusta, blends, and Arabica.
- Product labels include Korean—clearly targeting tourists.
- Not just a cafe—you can also grab gifts for coffee lovers back home.
🔚 Final Verdict: Not for Work, Great for a Break
While An Cafe nails the tropical aesthetics and laid-back atmosphere, it’s not the best choice for focused digital work. Slow Wi-Fi, limited power outlets, and long wait times make it more suitable for casual breaks than remote tasks.
