“Linn says their cold brew is definitely the best she's had in Cairns. No bitter or burnt flavour and the coffee is so smooth. She says Annee's Caphe Sua Da serves the best coffee in Cairns. Really friendly staff, even when they are super busy. Their Vietnamese coffee has the right amount of sweetness and she can still taste the coffee. It's great. She feels like a lot of places use too much condensed milk but not here. All the ingredients complement each other perfectly.”
