📍 Two seaside Starbucks in Nha Trang (about 22 min / 1.6 km apart on foot)

TL;DR: For quiet laptop time, go to Beachfront (inside Vinpearl). For a quick stop while shopping or walking the beach, Nha Trang Center is fine. The difference came down to cleanliness, available seating, and finding power outlets. Below is my on-foot comparison (visited Jul 2025).

Nha Trang Center (mall by the beach)
Vibe & crowd
Right on the beachfront, this store draws many tourists. During my visit it was very crowded, and not ideal for sitting down to work.
Restroom
Frankly, it was not up to Starbucks standards when I checked—trash bins were overflowing. (Status at the time of my visit; it may improve.)

- Address note: this mall shares the 20 Trần Phú address with Diamond Bay Hotel, which often causes confusion; the Starbucks is a Nha Trang Center mall tenant.
Beachfront (inside Vinpearl Beachfront, lobby level)
Cleanliness & comfort
Because it’s inside a five-star hotel lobby, the overall housekeeping is excellent. First impression was great and the space felt calm.
Outlets & Wi-Fi
- Outlets: under-seat sockets (see photo) made laptop work easy.
- Wi-Fi: 43 Mbps on Fast.com in my test—fine for browsing and writing; large cloud uploads may take longer.

Bottom line
Beachfront wins for cleanliness and workability (outlets + calmer space). Nha Trang Center is convenient for quick stops while shopping or walking the beach. Choose based on your plan for the day.
