Da Nang's café culture has always been strong — the city's specialty coffee scene rivals anything in Vietnam — but matcha arrived later and has matured fast. The turning point was the opening of dedicated matcha bars rather than coffee shops with a matcha option: places sourcing directly from Uji and Shizuoka, building menus around the leaf rather than treating it as a token green drink. The result is a scene concentrated in My An and Ngu Hanh Son, close to the beach, where a handful of specialists now do matcha at a level that would hold up in Tokyo. All five below are verified open as of 2026.
Da Nang's flagship matcha destination and the café that made the city's matcha scene worth taking seriously. SẾU bills itself as a contemporary matcha bar and specialty coffee shop, and the ordering is deliberate in both directions — the matcha is sourced from Uji, Kyoto, and the coffee programme is a genuine specialty operation rather than an afterthought. The signature drinks are the Green Salt and Brown Salt, both salted-cream matcha preparations that have become the café's calling card: the salt cuts the sweetness and sharpens the matcha's grassy edge in a way that a standard latte does not. The room itself is minimal-Japanese with warm orange tones and wooden furnishings, quiet enough to sit in for a couple of hours. The homemade cakes are worth ordering alongside — the hojicha cake in particular. Open 8:30 to 21:30 daily, in the My An area a short walk from My Khe beach.
A dedicated matcha and tea room built around a Japanese zen aesthetic — low light, quiet materials, and a menu that treats matcha as the point rather than one line on a coffee list. Magicha opened as a specialist from day one, and the format has clearly worked: the brand has since expanded to a second location in Hoi An, making it one of the few Vietnamese matcha operations building a genuine regional presence in central Vietnam. The menu runs broad for a small room, covering straight matcha preparations alongside the flavoured and layered drinks that Vietnamese café customers expect, and the quality holds across both. Open 9:00 to 22:00, which makes it one of the more reliable late-evening matcha options in the city — most of Da Nang's specialty cafés close by early evening.
A specialty coffee roaster first, but one with an unusually inventive approach to matcha — the standout being a matcha served with lemon and gin, which is more interesting than the description suggests. The citrus and botanical notes work with matcha's vegetal bitterness rather than against it, and the drink has become something of a local signature. O2o's roasting credentials are the reason most people come through the door, and the matcha benefits from the same attention to sourcing and preparation that the coffee gets. Located on Phan Tứ in the My An area, walking distance from several of the beachfront hotels, which makes it a practical stop for visitors staying on that side of the river. Worth going for the coffee and staying for the more experimental end of the drinks list.
Bright orange walls, a courtyard, and a cheerful modern character that sets it apart from the more austere Japanese-influenced rooms elsewhere on this list. Tourane's reputation rests on doing the fundamentals properly — the drip and filter coffee is excellent, and the matcha latte is made with the same care rather than being an obligatory menu item. The result is one of the better-value matcha lattes in Da Nang, in a setting that is more social and less contemplative than a dedicated tea room. The on-site gift shop, Ngay Mai Crafts, sells work from local makers, which makes Tourane a practical stop if you are looking for something to take home alongside the drink. Good for a mid-afternoon break rather than a destination visit.
The novelty here is the setting: a rooftop café positioned for plane-spotting, with a direct view over Da Nang International Airport's approach. It is open from mid-afternoon through to the small hours, which makes it genuinely unusual in a city where most cafés shut early — if you want a matcha at 2am, this is effectively the only option. The drinks are tasty and reasonably priced, with the matcha latte a consistent local favourite, and while the matcha is not sourced or prepared to the standard of SẾU or Magicha, that is not really the point. Nóc is where you go for the view and the hours. Located in Thanh Khê, closer to the airport than the beach, so it is a deliberate trip rather than somewhere you stumble into.

Tips for drinking matcha in Da Nang
- SẾU is the one to prioritise — if you only make one matcha stop in Da Nang, the Uji-sourced salted cream matcha is the drink that defines the city's scene.
- The specialists cluster in My An — SẾU and O2o are both in Ngũ Hành Sơn within walking distance of each other and the beach — easy to do both in one afternoon.
- Magicha covers the evening — open until 22:00, it fills the gap left by Da Nang's specialty cafés, most of which close by 18:00.
- Nóc is a trip, not a stop — it is out by the airport and opens mid-afternoon — go for the view and the late hours rather than the matcha itself.
- Da Nang pairs well with Hoi An — Magicha runs locations in both cities, and Hoi An is under an hour away — easy to combine into one matcha itinerary.
