Tiệm Trà Sữa My My (Hội An, Vietnam)

A tiny alley shop serving bright, honest fruit teas that cut straight through Hội An’s heat. No fuss, no frills, just proper refreshment.  A small bubble-tea shop in Hội An serving refreshing fruit teas, simple snacks, and affordable drinks perfect for humid afternoons.

If there’s one drink that has managed to conquer nearly every corner of the world, it’s bubble tea. From Auckland to Tokyo to New York, you’ll struggle to name a place where it hasn’t taken root. So stumbling upon Tiệm Trà Sữa My My in Hội An shouldn’t have surprised me, but it did. In a town better known for chè stalls and traditional snacks, this tiny bubble-tea shop tucked down an alley felt like a modern, youthful counterpoint to the old town’s heritage energy.

My My is the kind of spot you don’t plan for; you simply discover it. After a long, sticky afternoon walk around Hội An, humidity clinging to your shirt, legs tired from weaving through lantern-lit alleys, we found ourselves craving something icy and bright. That’s when we saw it: a modest storefront, a few seats, a humble décor scheme, and a welcoming buzz of locals ducking in for a quick drink before heading home. No flashing signs, no curated “Instagram corners.” Just a simple neighbourhood hangout doing its thing.

And in a town where many shops prioritise tourist aesthetics, this little place felt refreshingly real.

A Humid Evening, a Cold Drink, and a Perfect Pause

We arrived drenched from the heat, the kind of sweat-soaked state you only get in a town like Hội An. All we wanted was something cold enough to cut through the humidity, and My My delivered beautifully.

Kumquat Tea (19,000 VND), this one hit immediately. Bright, sharp, and citrus-forward, the kumquat tea felt like it was designed for travellers melting under the afternoon sun. It wasn’t syrupy or heavy; instead, it had a clean bitterness that balanced the faint sweetness. It’s the sort of drink that resets your palate and your body temperate in a single sip.

Passion Fruit Mango Tea (39,000 VND), more tropical, more expressive. The passion fruit gave it fragrance and acidity while the mango rounded the drink with a mellow sweetness. It leaned a little more dessert-like than the kumquat, but without being cloying. A great choice if you want something flavour-packed but still refreshing.

What impressed me was the honesty of the flavours. No over-complicated toppings, no gimmicky mix-ins, just straightforward fruit teas that make sense in Hội An’s weather.

Local Vibes, Approachable Prices, and Student Crowds

My My has a comfortable standing in the local bubble-tea scene. It’s the sort of place students drift into after school, where young couples share drinks on stools, and where travellers like us stumble in by accident.

Prices are affordable by tourist standards, 19k to 39k for the fruit teas we tried, though some smoothies edge closer to what a budget meal would cost. Still, the quality of fruit in their smoothies and shakes makes it feel fair, especially considering the fresh, homemade flavours.

Beyond drinks, the menu offers simple Vietnamese dishes and snacks at very accessible prices. So even if you’re not after bubble tea, you won’t leave hungry.

Service, Atmosphere, and Practical Notes

Service is quick and friendly, the type where they recognise regulars by sight. Seating can be limited, we were lucky on the day we visited there were tons of free seats but on other days we saw this, people are standing, so it’s better for short stops rather than lingering. If you come with a group, be prepared to stand or grab your drinks and sit on a nearby bench in the old town.

For the best experience, visit in the late afternoon or early evening when the heat is still strong enough to justify an icy drink but the night crowds haven’t fully arrived.

Final Thoughts

Tiệm Trà Sữa My My may not be the trendy showstopper that dominates social feeds, but that’s exactly why it stands out. It’s unpretentious, honest, and refreshing, both in its drinks and its vibe.

The kumquat tea was crisp and revitalising, the passion fruit mango struck the perfect tropical balance, and the atmosphere felt like a genuine slice of local daily life. It’s the sort of place you pop into once…and then find yourself returning to because it just fits Hội An’s rhythm.

If you’re wandering the old town and need a cold drink that goes beyond the ordinary, My My is worth the detour.
