XLIII Coffee: Discover Da Nang's Specialty Coffee Scene
For travellers interested in specialty coffee, XLIII Coffee offers an experience centred on the craft behind every cup. Rather than focusing on traditional Vietnamese coffee, the cafe explores how bean origin, roasting and brewing methods influence flavour, with knowledgeable staff happy to explain the coffees being served.
The minimalist architecture complements this approach. Large glass walls look onto shallow ponds, while outdoor seating is surrounded by water where koi swim beneath the platforms, creating a calm setting that reflects the cafe's attention to detail.

The menu includes a broad selection of coffees alongside teas and fruit drinks, allowing visitors to choose something that suits their taste while enjoying the surroundings. The combination of nature-inspired design and varied menu has made Forest98 a popular cafe for both locals and visitors.
