1st café: Marina Club & Coffee – 3 Ha Long, Ward 2, Vung Tau

The Marina Club & Coffee in Vung Tau is a well-known, freshly remodeled restaurant-lounge-café complex in the heart of the seaside city. Its latest renovations provide a stunning ocean view and a Mediterranean-style ambiance, making it a must-see for travelers.

If you’re looking for a place to enjoy a refreshing detox drink or a refreshing cocktail, this is the place for you. You can easily get lost in the blue sky and the sea view while sipping the drinks. A double shot-ice cappuccino and carrot juice would be perfect for the hot climate.

My boyfriend had a carrot and orange juice, while I ordered a classic iced latte. The beverages range from 4 to 13 USD, which is slightly more expensive than a café in any city, but keep in mind that you are paying for the environment as much as you are for the drinks. With a selection of fresh, succulent seafood dishes also available at the restaurant, you’d be missing out if you didn’t sample the local fish too, right?

2nd café: Gazebo café and lounge – 90 Ha Long, Ward 2, Vung Tau

As I drove off on Ha Long street, along the coast of Pineapple Beach, I spotted Gazebo Beach Café and Lounge. During the day, Gazebo is a regular beach cafe but at night, it becomes an eye-catching location with a vibrant bustling lounge along with exciting and attractive entertainment activities.

Pineapple Beach (Bãi Dứa) also known as Lang Du Beach, is located between Front Beach and Back Beach, to the west of Small Mountain, near Nghinh Phong Cape. Currently, Pineapple beach is one of the most beautiful beaches and attracts many tourists to Vung Tau.

Have your morning coffee on the entrancing sundeck of the Gazebo if you want to enjoy a discussion with your friends. Toast and other common breakfast items are offered here. You could keep the conversation going with a $2 espresso. For lunch and dinner, there is fresh seafood on the menu in addition to beverages.

The drinks are typically beer and wine because it is a cafe with a luxury lounge ambiance integrated that is close to the beach. Other drinks, however, taste wonderfully sumptuous and are visually eye-catching. I came around Gazebo after dinner so I had quite an experience with the cocktails mostly.

As the sun sets and Vung Tau’s nightlife commences, Gazebo stands out as one of the more lively parts of town. From a distance, you can see and hear the pulsating music and brilliant lights, and you’ll be lured to the nightly scene that unfolds there.

When go-go dancers and dazzling stage lights entered the scene, the peace of the entire beach at Ha Long Street was shattered. The sound of the ocean waves and quiet conversation over coffee is replaced by the clinking of champagne glasses and bassy music in a high-end nightclub ambiance as DJs playing electronic music delight visitors.

3rd café: SoHo Coffee – 66 Ha Long, Ward 2, Vung Tau

Furthermore, delicate white, cool, and light blue embellish SoHo, two colors that change throughout each item displayed around the shop, gives a stunning aesthetic effect. This place is surely a must-check attraction for Instagram lovers. As a result, it’s no surprise to see young people flock to SoHo Coffee to experience the high-end, cultured atmosphere by the sea.
