If you’re on the beach side, these are the best cafes for remote work in Da Nang

Even if you have super fast internet in your apartment, sometimes you need another place to work. Whether it’s to switch up with a change of scenery or a work refuge when the inevitable day long power outage hits your neighborhood, here’s a list of my favorite cafes in Da Nang to work remotely.

Mua Cafe

This is a huge, multi-floor cafe, and every level has a distinctly different feel. The place I like to work the best is an enclosed area on the second floor. It’s cool, peaceful and there are plenty of outlets to keep you powered up. The staff is friendly and a coconut coffee will keep you going for hours.

Bread n Salt Cafe

This one is my number one choice for remote work. They definitely built the place with remote workers in mind. The seating is very comfortable, there are outlets everywhere and a feeling of space and light. The service is excellent and the coffee, juices, sweet treats and breakfasts are good. It’s a bit pricey, but in my opinion, worth it. Bonus points for having a clean bathroom with all the necessaries.

Le Petit Cafe

There are three seating options: inside, on the patio and upstairs on the garden rooftop. When the power goes out in my home office, I head over to le Petit to grab a seat inside. It’s air conditioned, comfortable and they’ve placed power outlets in convenient places near tables. The coffee is excellent, though the food is only meh. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and this is definitely one of the places I like best for working when I can’t be at home. 

Six on Six

Another of the pricier cafes, Six on Six is tucked away on a quiet alley and serves a short menu of breakfast and lunch items, plus coffee, smoothies and juices. It’s a small cafe and a peaceful environment to get an hour or two of work done.

Mud Bistro

If you’re hit with a scheduled day long power outage, check with Mud Bistro. Many times I’ve found they are prepared with a generator, so they still have wifi and aircon. It’s a small place, so not ideal to camp out all day, but to get a bit of work in while enjoying some healthy food and a temperature controlled environment, it’s a good choice.

You can get wifi everywhere in Da Nang

One of the great things about Da Nang is that you can get free wifi just about everywhere. If you don’t see the password, just ask. But hot rooms, stiff chairs, bugs, sticky tables and lack of outlets do not make for a good work environment. So while you can get wifi at almost any cafe, if you want to be comfortable and productive, choose one that is well suited to remote work.

Security

You may feel so comfortable at some of these places that you start thinking of it as your own living room. It’s not. So if you need to use the loo, even though it’s super inconvenient, I would never leave my things at the table. Even if there are no other patrons. Don’t get complacent.

Another thing you need to take seriously is your data security. Never use public wifi without a VPN. I use NordVPN every time I use wifi while traveling, and also on my mobile. They’ve got some features that set them above other VPNs.

  • Fast speeds with 5200+ servers in 59 locations – this is a big deal for work because there is nothing worse than knowing you need to use a VPN for security when using it slows your connection to a crawl – this has not been an issue for me with NORD
  • Privacy – strict no logs of user activity
  • 6 simultaneous connections (I use it on both my laptops and my phone)
  • Streaming – lets you stream your Netflix, Hulu, etc.
  • Torrenting/P2P allowed
  • Built-in ad and malware blocking
  • Works in China (if you are planning to head that way you should know that not all VPNs work there)
  • Easy-to-use VPN apps
  • Specialty servers like Onion over VPN, Double VPN
  • 24/7 live chat, which I’ve found super helpful when trying to unlock my streaming services overseas

And they’ve got a 30-day money-back guarantee, so there’s no risk to trying it out.

Try NordVPN today, risk free!
