This famous Dalat cafe is designed in a rustic way, everything is made of old wooden panels. Even the interior furnishings and decor are tinged with time. The raw wooden table or bookshelf on the red sofa lay still in a small corner. Above hangs photos of artists or visitors here to take memories.

Carpentry guitars were built in the corner of the room for those playing music. The glass window overlooks the surrounding garden, the partitions are replaced with flowers, the old radio is worn out, … There is no purpose or any preparation, so naturally the shop was built. But because like that makes a difference that can not be mixed with anywhere else.

Here, in front of the restaurant, you will find a salon chair, swings so that everyone can sit and watch the flower garden below. Surrounded by wild hills and mountains, it creates a feeling of infinite immensity, so the feeling here is always incredibly peaceful and tranquil. Just sitting there and sipping a cup of coffee is able to observe all the changes of heaven and earth.

Step inside, the design of Kong Cafe Dalat is like a house to live in. The furniture is old, the decorations can not be more idyllic. The attic looks rickety, but it all brings warmth and comfort. Especially suitable for those who have the soul of an artist, love the generosity and the vintage style close to nature.

The first floor is provided with tables and chairs, and the second floor is the sitting area. The most impressive thing is the sitting mattresses with brocade pattern, rudimentary wooden tables. Looking up on the ceiling will see that it is concealed by stitching flowers together. 

Green trees and beautiful stone lotus pots are decorated around every corner. Or old books and newspapers are also a natural way to decor but bring a deep impression.
