TL;DR
Yes: in summer 2026 travelers in Nha Trang advised taking a Da Lat tour that includes a coffee farm visit — coffee there is sold at near-wholesale prices and cheaper than in the city. Some travelers deliberately buy coffee on tours to a coffee factory rather than in shops. Not everyone liked the coffee, and if you do not want to go, you can ask a tour to bring coffee back from a plantation.
Reviews are mixed: in late August 2026 travelers said they were taken to a coffee plantation in Da Lat but did not like the coffee there. In September another tourist said a free excursion from a tour operator took them to a place producing coffee, tea and rum, where he bought a little.
A traveler who has been to Da Lat several times wrote in August 2026 that she buys coffee specifically on tours that stop at a coffee factory, not at a shop.
If you do not want to go to Da Lat yourself, you can ask the RIC excursion agency to bring coffee back from a plantation — in August 2026 travelers bought Luwak coffee this way.
Travelers also look for combined itineraries: in July 2026 people asked about a 'coffee plantation plus waterfalls' tour from Nha Trang they had seen before, and about plantations that show the whole process from harvesting rather than just serving coffee. Check the exact itinerary with local excursion agencies.
In July 2026 a participant wrote that the pagoda is not for everyone, but a trip to the coffee plantations is worth it: the best coffee varieties there cost next to nothing.
In June 2026 travelers in Nha Trang were advised to take a Da Lat tour: it includes a coffee farm visit where genuine coffee is sold at near-wholesale prices — much cheaper than in the city.
