What the community said
Da Nang coffee is excellent, but if you're unwell or cautious, order it without ice. Vietnamese coffee is traditionally served over ice, so asking for it without may feel unusual, but it's doable.

Ice at local and street cafes in Da Nang is often made from tap water. A safe approach: drink the beverage but skip the ice.

Anything heat-treated — hot drinks, cooked food — is generally safe at local cafes. The main risks are questionable ice and non-bottled water.
