If you are looking for a peaceful stop in the heart of Da Lat, Nha Ben Suoi Cafe with its cool running stream will bring memorable moments of relaxation. However, be prepared for the journey down and the waiting time.
It is a natural stream flowing tumbling through the heart of the cafe. The stream water carries a warm alluvial hue, pouring over rock rapids creating white foaming water and a murmuring sound like a song of the great forest. The cafe cleverly arranged rustic wooden chairs right at the water's edge, on large boulders close to the bank. Feel the cool mist splashing on your face. The check-in spot is 1 orange and white SUP boat anchored right next to the stream bank, promising a super quality virtual living corner for those who like a little rebellious touch amidst the wild natural scenery. A rustic space blending with flowers and grass Warm wooden architecture: The main house and order counter area are built with dark wood, with simple thatched roofs, blending perfectly into the green of the mountains and forests. The space is not at all monotonous thanks to bright purple climbing flower strips spanning across the walkway, along with clumps of daisy flower, purple heath flower blooming along both banks of the stream. On the outdoor wooden tables, the cafe always takes care to place vases of fresh flowers – a proud sunflower reaching out beside a cluster of purple heath still carrying cool water drops. The cafe has a persimmon tree laden with fruit right next to the ordering counter. The persimmons gradually turn from green to ripe orange, dangling on green leafy branches, shading the handwritten chalkboard menu written in white chalk. The feeling of standing to choose a drink while admiring persimmons drooping right before your eyes is truly a very "Da Lat" experience.
Nha Ben Suoi Cafe I just had the chance to visit Nha Ben Suoi Cafe when coming to Da Lat, and honestly, it was truly a very "slow" experience in the truest sense amid a life that is too rushed. My first impression was the space - oh, it's not a fancy or luxurious decor style, but rather a rustic, close-to-nature vibe, like sitting in a small corner of nature. The most special point is definitely the stream flowing right beside it; there are even spots where guests can sit right by the water's edge, listening to the babbling stream, which is very pleasant. There are a few tables placed right on large rocks, so the feeling of drinking coffee while chilling in nature, with the cool breeze and the sound of water - honestly, it's very hard to find at regular cafes. Anyone who likes healing, resting, and disconnecting from work will find this place super suitable. Regarding the drinks, I found them decent, not too outstanding, but nothing much to complain about either. The coffee is brewed just right, not too strong or too weak. Some other drinks like tea or fruit juice are also quite easy to drink. The price, in my opinion, is reasonable compared to the space and experience provided, not overpriced like some other tourist spots in Da Lat. The service staff here are also quite cute and gentle, not overly professional like a restaurant, but creating a welcoming feeling. However, during peak hours, service is a bit slow, and you might have to wait longer than usual. But if you have determined to come here to relax, I don't think it's too big of a problem. One point I think should be noted is that the road leading to the cafe is a bit difficult, especially for first-timers. But once you arrive, you immediately feel "ah, it was worth the trip." Open space, lots of greenery, birdsong, the sound of water - everything blends together very naturally. Overall, with a 4.1-star rating, I find it quite reasonable. This is not a cafe for those who like luxurious check-ins or quick work, but rather a place to sit for a long time, unwind, think, or simply enjoy a peaceful morning. If I have the chance to go to Da Lat again, I will still return here. A place quiet enough for me to hear myself, hear the stream, and hear my heart... sounds a bit cheesy, but it's true.
I am an easygoing person, but this is the first time I rate 1 star. After ordering drinks, I waited for 1 hour and still didn't have them, and they wouldn't issue a refund. They forced the customer to take the drinks. I intended to offer feedback in good faith so the cafe could improve, but the staff didn't bother to listen and continued making drinks for other orders. Meanwhile, I spoke very politely, without cursing or raising my voice at all. I thought only our order slip was lost so the cafe missed it. But no, at the same time I complained to the cafe, there were also 2 other families who had been waiting for a very long time. The path down to the cafe is difficult to travel, steep, and bumpy.
The view is ok, the stream is cool, clear, and fresh green. Deduct 1 SEO because the path down is a bit difficult to walk 😭 a space worth experiencing for those who love nature
I visited Tiệm cà phê Nhà Bên Suối and quite liked the space here because the cafe is right by a flowing stream, feeling very poetic and pleasant. I ate grilled chicken with bamboo-tube rice, found it delicious with prices equivalent to other places in the same segment, and the drinks were also fine. The path down to the cafe is quite far and steep, walking will be a bit tiring, but I saw that 4-seater cars can still drive down so going by car will be more convenient.
