TRUST IN A CAFÈ THAT MAKES GOOD COFFEE
Sunshine Cafè Hoi An was a total disappointment after having read its shining reviews. I, first, asked the waitress for an iced Latte Coffee with condensed milk and fresh milk at 39,000 VND. The coffee was brought to the table in about one minute, meaning that the coffee was not freshly brewed, and perhaps was manufactured and bottled; in addition, the milk was not "fresh". This type of milk is normally found unrefrigerated on shelves in Vietnamese markets, including that so-called "coffee" was poured into a glass brimming with ice.
I was considering leaving at this point, but in fairness, I wanted to taste its so-called "breakfast menu", which turned out to be another disappointment. I placed an order for the smashed avocado on toast served with fried egg, bacon, and oven-roasted tomatoe(S) at 85,000 VND. First, the smashed avocado on toast was spread thinly on the toast and was tasteless, the egg was greasily overcooked, and the two pieces of bacon were crispy but burnt.

The staff were so friendly and after a few days they recognised our order. We felt slightly embarrassed to keep returning but the staff loved it 😂.
On our last day, the gave us our smoothie bowls for free which we wholeheartedly appreciated.
On top of that, the restaurant is had lovely decor and is really pretty so if you want to grab a coffee and relax this is the...
Read moreMy partner and I had a buddha bowl, and it was the best vegetarian lunch we have had travelling through Vietnam.
It has an amazing garden to admire whilst you relax and have food in well decorated outbuildings - which are air conditioned.
The staff are friendly and helped with our food allergies, making adjustments to the menu to cater to this. They went out of their way to create a new tasty dressing for us, as we cannot have soy sauce.
Finally, the price is affordable for fresh bespoke food - our buddha bowls each were 80 thousand, compared with other healthy restaurants charging double for a relatively underwhelming flavour and portion size.
