Chu An Cafe — Restaurant in Hội An

The Vietnamese coffee experience is really something else... With the coffee beans burnt to something closer to charcoal than roasted coffee, little is left of the actual coffee flavour. Instead you drink what tastes like burnt soil diluted in water, it's served cold or warm and often infused with so much sugar (or condensed milk) as to hide the flavour. Fun fact, it doesn't work... As a devoted coffeista, enthusiast, addict, call me what you want, coffee is a gift from God, it should be cherrished and enjoyed to the fullest. To escape the horrors of Vietnamese coffee for but a second, we paid the expensive price at Chu An to get a proper cappucino. The majestic Italian espresso machine and with prices of more than twice the price of our lunch, left me confident I would get a decent coffee, finally.

We deleted it and took the refund but I am posting again to warn more people. the hot chocolate was not even that good tbh,...

They abuse their prime location and provide garbage service and it’s basically highway robbery for tourist. They could at least fill the cup above 75% WITH MASSIVE ICE CUBES included. 3 sips and it’s gone.
