XLIII Coffee, Mỹ An
The flagship of the roastery that did most to put Đà Nẵng on the specialty coffee map.
Why it matters
This is one of the clearest places to see the argument in specialty coffee in Vietnam happening in a room: a Vietnamese roastery selling Vietnamese coffee to Vietnamese customers at specialty prices, which was not a viable business here fifteen years ago.
The roaster sits behind glass in the main space, which is unusual and is the point.
A note on the name
It opened in 2018 as 43 Factory Coffee Roaster — 43 being Đà Nẵng’s vehicle registration code — and now trades as XLIII Coffee. Both names are still in circulation, including on their own site, so you will see either.
What to expect
Specialty pricing, not pavement pricing: a filter coffee here costs several times what a
cà phê sữa đá costs at a cà phê cóc two streets away. That is the trade, and both are worth
doing.
If you want the traditional drink, this is not the place for it — go to a cà phê cóc instead.
