Nothing captures the spirit of a true holiday more than a leisurely morning: sitting in a peaceful setting with a steaming bowl of Mi Quang and a refreshing glass of herbal tea. It’s a light yet energizing start, opening up a whole day of freedom and exploration in the ancient town.

Most homestays and hotels in Hoi An serve breakfast, but sometimes, it’s much more exciting to step outside, wander the streets, and discover a morning meal with its own unique charm. Below are some of the places considered “breakfast paradises” you should visit at least once.

By the Beach

Have you ever started your day with breakfast right by the sea? In Hoi An, this experience feels more magical than ever. The gentle sound of waves, the salty ocean breeze, and the morning sunlight shimmering on the water all combine to create the perfect sense of relaxation.

At Tan Thanh Beach, Sound Of Silence Coffee offers fresh fruit crepes, fluffy omelets, and rich coffee served in a serene garden facing the ocean. On An Bang Beach, the chefs at Shore Club prepare avocado toast with freshly pressed juices, best enjoyed while lounging on comfy beanbag chairs.

Just behind An Bang Beach, you’ll find even more choices. Thom’s Sourdough Bakery delights visitors with buttery, golden croissants fresh from the oven. Nearby, Bikini Bottom Express tempts diners with pancakes and muffins, while Cosy Corner impresses with its warm hospitality and hearty Western-style breakfasts.

Local Delights

Morning in Hoi An is the moment when the old town truly awakens. Steam rises from pots of cao lau, the aroma of bun bo and fishcake noodles drifts through the narrow alleys, and groups of friends chatter over cups of strong Vietnamese coffee – together creating a lively, authentic local scene.

From the alleys around the old town to the central market, you can easily find a wide variety of breakfast dishes: bun cha ca, bun bo, Mi Quang, pho, banh beo, and more – all simple yet unforgettable flavors.

For an authentic bowl of Mi Quang, head to Mi 92 on Tran Cao Van Street, a spot loved by locals for its traditional taste. Or grab a crispy, freshly baked Madam Khanh banh mi, paired with a glass of refreshing orange juice. Hidden in a small alley, Pho Tung serves pho prepared with a distinct Hoi An twist. If you’re in the mood for something different, try a bowl of red rice porridge on Thai Phien Street, or enjoy the city’s signature cao lau at Cao Lau Thanh, 26 Thai Phien.
