Why your workspace matters more than you think
Here’s something nobody tells you before you land in Da Nang: the cafe culture here is so good that you might never set foot in a coworking space. Vietnam has one of the most incredible coffee scenes on the planet, and Da Nang wraps that tradition in fast wifi, cheap drinks, and air conditioning. It’s a remote worker’s dream.
But not every cafe is built for a full workday, and not every coworking space is worth the membership fee. After testing workspaces across the city, I’ve put together the spots that actually deliver for people who need to get real work done. If you’re still planning your move, check out our complete Da Nang digital nomad guide first. If you’ve already booked your flight, keep reading.
Top coworking spaces in Da Nang
ACE Coworking
ACE is the name that comes up in every Reddit thread and nomad conversation about Da Nang — and it earns the hype. This three-floor space near An Thuong has a ground-floor cafe, a quiet middle floor with hot desks, ergonomic chairs and free external monitors, plus a rooftop terrace with phone booths for calls.
The community is what sets it apart. Weekly pickleball on the beach, group lunches, rock climbing outings, and an active members-only WhatsApp group that’s actually useful. They’ve earned a perfect 5.0 Google rating from 180+ reviews. Day passes are about 180,000 VND (~$7), monthly memberships 3,000,000 VND (~$120), and ethernet hits 800+ Mbps. Open 7 AM to 2 AM — perfect for Western timezones.
Coworking Da Nang
If community is your top priority, this is your spot. Run by Tiffany and Anton, it has the liveliest social atmosphere in the city. Monday events include shared meals, pickleball, and frisbee on the beach. The garden vibe is refreshing, and members brew real Vietnamese coffee themselves — not the instant stuff you’ll find elsewhere.
Day passes: 200,000 VND, monthly: 3,000,000 VND. Heads up — during peak season (February through April) it fills up fast, so grab a membership early. Great option if you’re new to the nomad lifestyle and want a social circle fast.
Enosta Space (formerly Enouvo Space)
Enosta was one of Da Nang’s first coworking spaces and feels the most professional. Two locations near the beach with modern industrial design, soundproofed meeting rooms, monitor rentals, and reliable internet. This is where you go when you need to impress on a video call or run team meetings. Fixed desks start at ~$90/month, private offices ~$290/month. More expensive, but you’re paying for consistency.
Seaview Coworking
Panoramic ocean views from the 9th floor of the Waikiki Beach Hotel, right next to My Khe Beach. The pricing is aggressively cheap: 135,000 VND/day (~$5.50), 2,000,000 VND/month, with 24/7 access. They run a “Stay and Work” program combining accommodation and coworking — clever if you haven’t locked down an apartment yet. Honest note: it gets warm up there. Grab a desk away from the windows if you run hot.
Beans Workspace
A clever hybrid by The Local Beans — cafe on the lower floors, dedicated coworking space on top with strong wifi, AC, and strict quiet rules (phones on silent, no food in the workspace). The discipline makes it genuinely productive. Pricing is the real draw: just 24,000 VND for four hours (less than $1). If you’re watching your spending (see our Da Nang cost of living breakdown), Beans is hard to beat.
Best work-friendly cafes
43 Factory Coffee (XLIII Coffee)
The fancy one. Glass architecture, soaring ceilings, and tranquil ponds — it looks like a coffee laboratory designed by someone who actually likes coffee. Fast wifi, power outlets embedded in the floor, and a quiet international crowd working on laptops. The catch: imported specialty beans mean a single cup runs 250,000-500,000 VND ($10-20), compared to 25,000 VND at an average cafe. Treat it as a special-occasion workspace, not your daily driver.
The Hideout Cafe
Tucked into a quiet alley, The Hideout delivers a calm escape with good food, excellent egg coffee, plenty of power outlets, and reliable wifi. The kind of place where you settle in at 9 AM and look up at 2 PM wondering where the morning went. It doesn’t try to be flashy. It just works.
Wonderlust Bakery and Coffee
Three stories by the Han River with views of the Dragon Bridge from the upper floors. Fast wifi, floor-to-ceiling windows flooding the space with natural light, and enough room that you never feel crammed. The coconut coffee is excellent and drinks are cheap. One tip: bring a short extension cord — the power outlets can be a stretch from some seats.
Bread N Salt
This one comes up constantly in nomad forums. Spacious with reliable wifi and a comfortable atmosphere for long sessions. The vibe is similar to 43 Factory but without the premium price tag, making it a practical daily workspace. Best for morning sessions — grab a window seat early, knock out your hardest work, then switch venues after lunch. That kind of flexibility is what makes Da Nang ideal for building strong productivity habits for remote workers.
Joy Box Coffee
Built from four repurposed shipping containers with cozy seating, plenty of power outlets, and a small garden with a fish pond for screen breaks. A nice wildcard when you want a change of pace from your regular rotation.
Tips for cafe working
Order every two to three hours. You’re using their space, electricity, and wifi. A 40,000 VND coffee is a small price to pay. Don’t nurse a single iced tea for six hours.
Don’t take important calls in cafes. Blender sounds and the motorbike symphony outside will make you sound unprofessional. Use coworking phone booths at ACE or Enosta instead.
Avoid peak hours. Cafes pack out during lunch (11:30 AM – 1:30 PM) and after work (5-7 PM). Arrive before 9 AM for your pick of seats.
Know when to switch to coworking. If your work demands rock-solid internet all day — video calls, large uploads, anything where a dropout means trouble — just pay the $4-6 daily coworking rate. It’s not worth gambling on cafe wifi when your job is on the line.
Internet and connectivity
Vietnam’s internet infrastructure is strong. Apartments in Da Nang typically come with fiber delivering 50-100+ Mbps, and coworking spaces are often faster. For mobile data, the main providers are Viettel (largest network, best rural coverage), Vinaphone, and MobiFone.
My advice: skip the airport SIM kiosks. You’ll overpay for tourist plans with annoying restrictions. Instead, grab a cheap eSIM before your flight so you’re connected on arrival, then visit an official Viettel or Vinaphone store within your first day or two. Bring your passport — you need it for registration. A prepaid plan runs about 120,000-160,000 VND/month (under $7) with several gigabytes of daily data. Most plans support hotspot tethering, giving you a solid backup connection anywhere.
If you’re planning trips to Hoi An, Hue, or Ba Na Hills, stick with Viettel — it holds 4G signal in areas where other providers drop to 2G.
Building your daily routine
The best approach isn’t picking one workspace — it’s building a rotation. Get a monthly coworking membership at ACE or Coworking Da Nang for your “anchor” days: important calls, deep focus work, guaranteed reliability. Use the community events to meet people. Then spend two or three days per week at cafes for lighter work — emails, planning, creative thinking. Rotate favorites so you don’t burn out any single spot.
Da Nang’s nomad community is growing fast, and coworking spaces are the easiest way in. If you’re focused on building your remote work community, showing up consistently to the same space is the fastest path. You’ll go from stranger to dinner invitation faster than you’d think.
