Lyly is an amazing and special person! I originally wanted to stay just a week and travel more around Vietnam. I ended up staying almost three weeks and I don't regret. Lyly is an amazing cook, artist and is incredibly kind, thoughtful and dedicated. She really loves animals and plants, they are all around her and she takes beautiful care of them.… read more

This was my first (and only, so far) WorkAway experience. I stayed for around 10 days. Lyly and her family are wonderful and welcoming people. I was immediately made to feel at home. The work itself consisted mostly of helping her family build a new coffee shop next to the existing one. The food was awesome, the accommodation comfortable. Everyone… read more

I spent a week at Lyly’s cafe in the serene and peaceful Dalat countryside. Lyly was very helpful from the minute she picked me up from the bus stop. Her home and cafe was a wonderful and inviting place. I was working with her uncle helping to build a new cafe, even though I did not have construction experience, but her uncle gave me directions on… read more

I went to Lyly’s place after few days in Dalat. Since the first moment I spoke to her it was fully of good energy. I met Lyly’s family and Thi, the girl that works in there and such a nice girl that I could spend even 24hrs together. The work wasn’t hard at all, mostly was help at the cafe and gardening, cleaning if needed. Lots of time for… read more

I spent one amazing and too short week at the coffee.
I mostly help Thi, a generous women who works there, to clean and take care of Lyly’s most friendly dogs. It wasn’t hard at all.

I had the honour of being the first workawayer here. I'll start by saying that I was supposed to stay 2-3 weeks to help during 'Tet' holiday (Chinese New Year), and I ended up spending almost 2 months, because of how much I loved everything about this place!
Also, I usually choose places that already have at least a few feedbacks, but when I read… read more the description I had a positive 'gut feeling' about it, which I also felt when I received Lyly's (the host) lovely reply. I couldn't be more glad that I decided to follow my instinct...!
The coffee shop is located a good 60 km away from Dalat and from tourist tracks, there are no foreigners around and therefore everything feels really local and authentic.
Lyly's parents, sisters and other relatives are so nice and friendly, I got to meet most of them and they all treated me like family, despite the language barrier (only Lyly speaks English and she basically had to be my personal interpreter for the whole time I was there).
The work at the coffee shop, once I got around it, was quite straightforward. Lyly and Thi (the other girl working there) were both so patient and professional teaching me pretty much everything about the job. It would be an ideal place for anyone who is interested in learning about that field. The coffee shop itself is absolutely beautiful, with so many plants everywhere, nice chilled music and atmosphere.
Also, Lyly or Thi were always there taking care of the main things and I just had to help making some drinks, serving them sometimes, washing... and being stared at from most of the customers, haha.
In return for such simple tasks I had my own, simple but comfortable room, and I won't lie, after almost three months of travelling Asia and sleeping in dorms, huts and hostels sharing with up to almost 20 people at the same time - it felt like a total treat to have a space of my own.
I also ate with the family the most amazing meals. They're all excellent cooks! Luckily Lyly's mom is vegan so there was a lot of choice for me as well - another thing that hadn't been so easy for me in Vietnam until then.
The land around the house is peaceful and beautiful, there are places just a few minutes away where you can watch sunset or meditate. I helped Lyly's dad, for a couple of days to clean a small area where we then grew vegetables, and it was fun. Probably during other times of the year the work here could be more related to working in the coffee fields, so interesting for whoever wants to learn about that.
I basically chose to spend most of my time in Vietnam getting to know this lovely family and I don't regret one minute of it.
