The cafe has both indoor and outdoor seating.

Thanks to its unique location, the scenery around the cafe turns a golden yellow during rice harvest season.

In addition to coffee and drinks, the cafe also serves sweet cakes, fruits, hamburgers, steaks, and salmon with prices ranging from VND30,000 to 200,000 ($1.31-8.76).

About seven kilometers from downtown Hoi An is an old brick kiln abandoned for 20 years in Vinh Nam Village, Duy Vinh Commune of Duy Xuyen district.

In the past few years, the brick kiln has become a popular photo shooting place for tourists. In early 2020, a coffee shop overlooking a rice field was opened, attracting large crowds every day.

From the brick kiln to the cafe, there is a winding bamboo path running through the field. The rice field is still green in February and March and starts ripening with a golden yellow color in April, making it an ideal place for tourists.

The café is open from 4:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Its owner has turned the space into a farmstay that produces wine and tea, sells agricultural products, and offers camping and bungalows for guests to stay overnight.
