Overview

Nha Trang faces east, so the sun comes up out of the sea and the sunrise here is worth more than the sunset. First light is around 5:20 in summer, 6:10 in winter. If you are on the beach at that hour the question is not which café is good but which one is open.

The earliest is Anh Coffee Roasters at 140 Hoang Hoa Tham, open at 5:30. Before first light in winter. It is also the best coffee in this group: a small shop that roasts its own, where you order the espresso tonic or the cold brew. Remember that it shuts at 17:30 and loses its seats by mid-morning. If you want somewhere at four in the morning there is nothing: the earliest opening in the city is 5:30.

For the sunrise itself, head north. Coffee Baka sits inside the Hòn Chồng scenic area and opens at 6:00, which puts it closest to the rocks; a few hundred metres away on Pham Van Dong, Cà phê Hòn Chồng View opens at the same hour, looks at the same headland, and carries the cheapest board on any of these café pages. Black coffee at 23,000₫. Neither is here for the coffee; they are here for watching the sun come out of the water.

If you want one address that works at dawn and at night, four run 6:00 to 23:00, seventeen hours straight: both CCCP Coffee branches at 22 Tô Hiến Thành and 112 Hong Bang, Cedruss at number 10 on the same Tô Hiến Thành, and Metrang at 22 Pham Van Dong. Three of the four are minutes apart on foot, so if you are staying nearby you can stop remembering hours. Minimal Coffee Roasters at 58 Dinh Tien Hoang also opens at 6:00 and pours better than any of them, but it is small and shuts at 21:30. A takeaway stop.

Three more 6am cafés sit in three different directions, and all three are places to settle into rather than to grab from. Góc Của Mây, down lane 93 off Nguyễn Thị Minh Khai, is the most central of them: a large tree planted in the middle of the room indoors, and a small stream running through the yard with tables set at its edge. Vũ Garden in the Mipeco district to the south is a Japanese-style garden with a red timber bridge over a koi pond, and the cheapest café on any page of this site. Đường Sắt Coffee at 707/1 đường 23 Tháng 10 is 8 km out, built on a railway theme with a real length of track indoors and a big ball pit for children. Not to be confused with Quán cà phê Đường Tàu at 66a Nguyễn Trãi.

One more thing before you save a place for the afternoon: four shut before 18:00. Anh Coffee Roasters at 17:30, then Sweet Secret, Mokuzo Kafe and K cafe at 18:00. All four are worth the trip; the trip has to be in the morning. If you need an evening seat, see cafés that stay open late.

    4.4★ Google · 253 reviewsOpen 6:00 – 22:0020,000 – 50,000₫

    The Mipeco district in the south, open 06:00–22:00. The cheapest café on any page of this site, 20,000–40,000₫ a cup. It is a Japanese-style garden with a red timber bridge over a koi pond, which makes it a morning to sit through rather than a stop on the way.

    707/1 duong 23 Thang 10, western Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa

    4.2★ Google · 166 reviewsOpen 6:00 – 22:00

    707/1 đường 23 Tháng 10, about 8 km from the centre, open 06:00–22:00. The furthest-out of the 6am cafés, which makes it one for people staying west rather than a stop before the beach. Built on a railway theme, with a real length of track indoors and a large ball pit for children. Not to be confused with Quán cà phê Đường Tàu at 66a Nguyễn Trãi.

    140 Hoang Hoa Tham, Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa

    4.9★ Google · 694 reviewsOpen 5:30 – 17:3028,000 – 60,000₫

    5:30, the earliest in the city, and the earliest to close too: 17:30. A small roastery at 140 Hoang Hoa Tham. Order the espresso tonic. Its regulars are early runners, and the seats go by mid-morning, so arrive before eight.

    22 Tô Hiến Thành, Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa

    4.5★ Google · 4,367 reviewsOpen 6:00 – 23:00

    6:00 to 23:00, seventeen hours straight and the longest span in this group, with outdoor seating on the Tô Hiến Thành corner. If you want one address and no need to think about closing time, this is it.

    112 Đ. Hồng Bàng, Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa

    4.6★ Google · 1,600 reviewsOpen 6:00 – 23:00

    The same 6:00–23:00 as the Tô Hiến Thành branch but inside the tourist quarter, which makes it the nearest six-o'clock option if you are sleeping around Nguyen Thien Thuat. Quieter than the other one, too.

  • Coffee Baka — Hòn Chồng

    Open map →

    Khu danh thắng, Hòn Chồng, Bắc Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa

    4.0★ Google · 1,527 reviewsOpen 6:00 – 22:00

    6:00, inside the Hòn Chồng grounds and closest to the rocks, which makes it the seat for watching the sun come out of the sea. Come for the view: the coffee is ordinary, and going down to the rocks is a separate 30,000₫ ticket.

    49 Đ. Củ Chi, Bắc Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa

    3.9★ Google · 603 reviewsOpen 6:00 – 22:00

    6:00–22:00 at 49 Cu Chi. A large garden café with two things few early openers have: a ball pit for small children and a television showing football.

    22 Phạm Văn Đồng, Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa

    4.2★ Google · 582 reviewsOpen 6:00 – 23:00

    6:00–23:00, the only place on the northern coast road still serving at eleven at night. It has a sea view and a slide for small children. Order coffee rather than the fruit teas.

    58 Dinh Tien Hoang, Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa

    4.9★ Google · 504 reviewsOpen 6:00 – 21:30

    6:00, and it pours better than most of this group. A roastery at 58 Dinh Tien Hoang. Small, and mostly a takeaway stop before work. Shuts 21:30.

    3 Lý Tự Trọng, Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa

    3.3★ Google · 502 reviewsOpen 6:00 – 22:00

    Opens at 6:00, 6:30 on some days, at 3 Ly Tu Trong, with a coffee-and-breakfast combo and an air-conditioned room. Service is very slow, though: people have waited over an hour, and the city has better six-o'clock options.

    10 Tô Hiến Thành, Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa

    4.6★ Google · 464 reviewsOpen 6:00 – 23:00

    6:00–23:00, a few doors from CCCP at 22. Two seventeen-hour cafés on one street. Cedruss is the larger, with a corner set aside for studying and working; the trade is self-service and real noise when it fills.

    6 Pham Van Dong, north Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa

    4.1★ Google · 430 reviewsOpen 6:00 – 22:0023,000 – 45,000₫

    6:00, at 6 Pham Van Dong, facing the same headland as Coffee Baka but far cheaper: the board on the wall reads 23,000₫ for a black coffee, the cheapest on any of these pages. Shuts 22:00.

    83 Dang Tat, north Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa

    3.9★ Google · 249 reviewsOpen 6:00 – 22:30

    6:00–22:30 at 83 Dang Tat in the north. Large and airy, though a recent refit removed the fish pond and it runs hotter than it did; the phin coffee is adequate. The map address is garbled, so use the button.

    05 Le Thanh Ton, Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa

    3.8★ Google · 185 reviewsOpen 6:00 – 22:0031,000 – 37,000₫

    6:00–22:00, a small bean-coffee shop in the north at 31,000–37,000₫. A plain local place. Worth it for proximity if you are staying nearby.

Addresses come from each shop's own Google Maps listing, and the Open map button opens that shop's pin rather than running a search. 18 shops on the site have no listing we could confirm, so they have no button: the address lookup returned a different business, and a button that points at the wrong place is worse than none. A Google score appears only when Maps carries both the score and the number of reviews — a bare average cannot be weighed, so this page leaves it out. Street-food stalls change hours and close without telling anyone; call ahead if you are travelling across town.

What to order

  • Anh Coffee Roasters opens at 5:30, the earliest in the city and the best coffee here
  • For sunrise: Coffee Baka and Hòn Chồng View both open at 6:00, facing the rocks
  • Four run 6:00–23:00 if you want one address for the whole day
  • A 23,000₫ black coffee at Hòn Chồng View, the cheapest board on these pages

Practical tips

  • Sunrise runs about 5:20 in summer, 6:10 in winter, only Anh Coffee Roasters is open before it
  • Four places shut before 18:00. Do not save them for late afternoon
  • At a roastery order the phin, not a latte, if you want it sweet and strong

Frequently asked

Which café in Nha Trang opens earliest?

Anh Coffee Roasters at 140 Hoang Hoa Tham, at 5:30. After that come eleven places opening at 6:00, among them both CCCP Coffee branches, Cedruss, Metrang, Coffee Baka at Hòn Chồng and Minimal Coffee Roasters. Nothing opens before 5:30, so for coffee at four in the morning you will have to ask your hotel.

Where do you drink coffee for the Nha Trang sunrise?

The city faces east, so the sun rises out of the sea, and the best seats are north: Coffee Baka inside the Hòn Chồng grounds, and Cà phê Hòn Chồng View a few hundred metres away on Pham Van Dong, both open at 6:00. In town, CCCP on Tô Hiến Thành and Cedruss on the same street also open at 6:00 but face no water. For a seat looking straight at it, see cafés on the water.

Can these opening hours be trusted?

The hours come from the seven-day table each shop publishes about itself, looked up by place id rather than by name. This list holds two shops called AN Cafe and two called CCCP Coffee, and a name search reads the wrong branch. Only one varies by day: Cà Phê Gốc Tiên, at 6:00 or 6:30. Hours a shop publishes can still be wrong, so ring ahead if you are travelling for it.
