🧑‍💻 A Typical Work Day at Café de Lee

Here is how many digital nomads structure their day when working from our café:

  1. 6:00 AM – Arrive early. The café opens at 6 AM and the first couple of hours are the quietest. Order a hot cà phê sữa and a fresh croissant, settle into a table near a power outlet and knock out your most focused work before the rest of Da Nang wakes up.
  2. 9:00 AM – Video calls. The WiFi handles Zoom and Google Meet without dropped frames. Background noise is minimal, so your colleagues will not hear café chatter.
  3. 11:00 AM – Lunch break at the beach. My An Beach is a five-minute walk. Take an hour to swim, stretch or grab a bánh mì from a nearby vendor.
  4. 12:30 PM – Return for the afternoon session. Switch to an iced americano, put on headphones and power through emails and tasks until 4 or 5 PM.
  5. 5:00 PM – Head to An Thuong. The café closes at 5 PM, which is the perfect time to walk or ride over to An Thuong for sunset drinks and dinner.

This routine gives you roughly 8 productive hours with a beach break in the middle — something you simply cannot get at a coworking space.

💰 Cost of Working from Café de Lee

One of the biggest advantages of working from a café in Vietnam is the price. At Café de Lee:

  • A Vietnamese drip coffee starts at 20,000 VND (≈ $0.80 USD)
  • A cappuccino or latte is around 35,000–45,000 VND (≈ $1.50 USD)
  • A croissant for breakfast is about 25,000 VND (≈ $1.00 USD)

For under $5 USD you get a full breakfast, great coffee and an air-conditioned workspace with fast WiFi for the entire morning. Compare that to a $200-per-month coworking membership and the savings are obvious.

📶 Why WiFi Matters (And Why Most Cafés Get It Wrong)

Many cafés in Da Nang advertise "Free WiFi" but deliver frustratingly slow speeds — often below 5 Mbps during peak hours. That is fine for browsing Instagram but useless for a Zoom call with screen sharing or uploading a 500 MB video file.

At Café de Lee we invested in a dedicated fibre line separate from the building's shared connection. The result: consistent 50+ Mbps download speeds throughout the day, even when every table is occupied. We test the connection weekly to make sure it stays reliable.
