Besides its famed coffee, Adiuvat Coffee Roasters in coastal town Quy Nhon is well-known for its distinctive architecture.
Situated on a small corner of Nguyen Hue Street in Quy Nhon in south-central Vietnam, this coffee house lies beside a tamarind canopy. Despite its humble facade, the interior welcomes guests with a fragrant coffee grinding smell, soothing music, and distinguished design.
The coffee shop was renovated from a small stone-design house of the pre-1975 period. Added to the old structure are stonewashed walls, a polished cement floor, room-separating glass screens and wood interiors. Archdaily, one of the world’s leading architecture sites, wrote on its website: “An idea of a calm and serene place, located on an old street with a long city history, highlighted by the typical townhouse architecture style prior to 1975, which included a ground floor and signature pebble washout on the facade.”
Despite the narrow area, the coffee house feels spacious due to clear blocks of light and dark shades, along with a combination of natural and artificial light.
The cafe has two floors with differently organized seatings, which provides a refreshing change of scenery to every visit.
In the morning, guests can enjoy the second floor balcony with a view of Nguyen Hue Street, amid the coastal breeze and early sunrays, beside a tamarind canopy.
At noon, guests can take shelter in the cooling wood-covered room, situated between the front’s bar and the rear sky well.
The bar is dedicated to coffee-enthusiasts who love to interact with their baristas, to witness hand-brewing and converse with fellow coffee lovers.
To the back of the coffee house lies a sky-well garden, providing tons of natural light. Next to the garden stands a coffee roaster.
Coffee at Adiuvat are self-roasted and self-ground. You can enjoy a wide range of coffee options, from Italian espresso-based coffee and hand-brew pour-over to Vietnamese traditional phin coffee.
Due to both the variety and quality of its coffee and its architecture, Adiuvat is popular among locals and tourists.
