Phin Coffee

Phin Coffee is a family-run coffee shop tucked away in a shady courtyard off Tran Phu Street, next to the Secret Garden restaurant. It is reached by an alley off a lane at 132 Tran Phu, so it is easy to miss, and the shady courtyard is a quiet contrast with the main street.

The family roasts its own beans in its own roastery, sourcing them from small growers in Vietnam and beyond. The menu covers the specialty side of coffee, with pour-overs and French press, alongside a list of house specialities that put a playful twist on Vietnamese traditions. Look for the peanut butter ice blended coffee, a creamy coconut egg coffee and a coffee made with coconut ice cream and condensed milk. On a hot day, the icy cold brew with lime is a refreshing choice, and the French press and pour-overs show off the beans from the family roastery and its growers.

Phin also runs a Vietnam Coffee Tasting Experience led by a coffee expert named Bui, which is a good way to learn about Vietnamese beans, roasting and brewing methods. The tasting suits curious coffee drinkers and anyone who wants a hands-on activity in the old town.

Recent guides give the opening hours as morning to late afternoon every day, so it works best for breakfast coffee or an afternoon break. Grantourismo's cafe guide, updated in August 2026, still includes Phin among Hoi An's best coffee stops.

The cafe is ideal for couples and solo travellers looking for a quieter spot within the Ancient Town. Because it sits in a courtyard rather than on the street, it is also a pleasant place to sit out the midday heat between visits to the heritage sites on Tran Phu Street, such as the Fujian Assembly Hall at number 46 and the Museum of Trade Ceramics at number 80.

To find it, look for the lane at 132 Tran Phu and then the alley that leads to the courtyard. If you want to join the coffee tasting, ask about times when you visit, and try one of the coconut coffees if you have not had one before.
