Coffee in Pleiku: where to sit, by mood and ward

Tiệm cà phê Ngày Bình Yên

Ngày Bình Yên (“Peaceful Day”) is the one to pick if you want to sit and look at the yard and the rice fields rather than try drinks: the view is calm and every angle works for photos. The drinks are less of a draw. They smell strongly of flavourings and the coffee is quite strong, so order something simple and skip the matcha and the unusual milk teas.

Cafe Thu Hà

Cafe Thu Hà is the place for a coffee in an old-school shop where the owner knows the regulars, a brand with more than 50 years in the trade. Some customers have been coming for 15 years. You can drink in or take a bag home, since the shop sells Arabica and Robusta beans, ground coffee, paper phin filters and instant coffee; the fifth line of the card below asks for beans. It closes at 9 pm, earlier than the others, so do not plan a late evening here.

Hani Kafe & Kitchen

With one afternoon and a wish to see Pleiku from above, go to Hani. It has a rooftop terrace, a view over the city, sunsets and plenty of photo corners. It is on the same street as Ngày Bình Yên, Tô Vĩnh Diện, so the two fit into one outing. Come with friends; for a quiet corner alone, The Quao is better.

The Quao Coffee & More

When it rains and you want to sit among plants and listen to it, The Quao is the place. Drinks that stand out are Trà Sen Vàng (Golden Lotus Tea) with lotus cream, a lightly rich Coconut Milk Matcha Latte and hot Hạt Dẻ Cười (pistachio) on a cold day. Staff are friendly, quick, and happy to help a group set up a small birthday. The space is airy and quiet. It gets very busy around Tết (Lunar New Year) because of the view, so avoid that week if you dislike crowds.

Prices (August 2026): black phin coffee 23,000 VND, phin coffee with milk 28,000 VND, bạc xỉu (white coffee, mostly milk) 38,000 VND, espresso 40,000 VND, cappuccino 45,000 VND.

The Wind Coffee

The Wind is an easy choice with a group or small children, because there is a koi pond for kids to watch. It is spacious and airy, with good drinks at friendly prices and a menu from coffee to tea, plus snacks. It is down an alley at the back. Turn in; it’s worth it.

V7 Coffee Gia Lai

On a rainy day, V7 is a garden café with plenty of trees and wooden furniture. It is airy, with sun slanting through the leaves and friendly staff. The yard is paved with asphalt and gravel, the big trees and wood give it a slightly nostalgic feel, and the toilets are clean. Order the hot creamy milk coffee or the hot cappuccino for a wet day; office workers like it for a fairly priced cup. It has no view and drinks come in plastic cups, so go elsewhere if a view matters.

KAP Bistro

KAP is a bistro at 46 Hùng Vương for an evening with food and drink in a smart setting: the décor, the steak and the attentive staff stand out, and there are many photo corners. KAP leans toward meals, so for a quick coffee go elsewhere.

Café Cuội

Café Cuội, at 62 Đống Đa, is a garden café with soft music: the band, the pretty, airy and quiet space are what people mention. The music schedule changes from week to week, so phone ahead to ask about tonight. If you want a view down over the city, pick Hani instead.
