Hoa Sua shop ambiance
Looking in, the shop is as simple as any other roadside stall, with plastic chairs and tables. Seating is arranged along both sides of the road; if the weather in Da Lat is not rainy, it will be very cool and pleasant. However, on rainy and stormy days, the shop will set up tall umbrellas to shield customers from the rain, making the atmosphere cool and comfortable.
The shop is always bustling with customers, coming and going, and the tables are always full.
If you're lucky enough to arrive just as a group of customers is leaving, you'll surely find an empty seat. Otherwise, you might have to wait a little while. But in return, the staff will happily invite you to sit down and cheerfully ask what you'd like to eat.
However, with the shop being so crowded and the staff having to carry and reserve tables, a little stress is unavoidable, sometimes leading to small mistakes.
Please be patient and wait a little. But in return, you'll get a hot, fragrant glass of milk. Sipping it, eating a sweet cake, and chatting lively with friends in this chilly weather—what could be more delightful?
