This spot offers a fantastic variety of Vietnamese sweet soups (chè), and every flavor I’ve tried has been absolutely delicious. The shop is clean and hygienic. I will definitely be returning for more!

The Story
About This Place
Y Lan Dessert Shop sits on Xuân Thủy, one of Thao Dien's quieter residential stretches, operating every day from 8:30 in the morning until 10 at night. That span is longer than most dessert-only spots in the neighborhood, which tend toward afternoon-only schedules, and it gives the place a dual identity — somewhere to drop in after a morning walk or to close out an evening without committing to a full restaurant. The name Y Lan is a Vietnamese woman's given name, a common signal in Saigon's food scene that the operation is personal in scale rather than chain-adjacent. With 85 Google reviews averaging 4.6, the venue has built a consistent following without the visibility boost that comes from being on a main artery. Xuân Thủy runs parallel to the busier Nguyễn Văn Hưởng and draws locals and expat residents rather than destination diners. As a dessert shop rather than a full cafe, the menu is presumably built around sweets rather than savory fare, making it a distinct stop in a neighborhood where brunch-heavy and coffee-forward venues dominate. The long daily hours and the concentrated dessert focus are the two facts that set it apart within Thao Dien's crowded cafe landscape.

Nice dessert, the bun is also very very nice when it’s served hot
They serve good dessert (many kinds of sweet soups). Quality is good but price is quite high. The shop is not large, not many seats for groups of friends. They also sell alot of togo orders. In Thao Dien area, just only one dessert shop like this.
Super delicious desserts. Perfectly not sweet, right for my pallet. Not too sweet.good seating outside for people watching and chilling. It get super busy though. Need to Come back and try their deep fried mini bao
i wouldnt call this the best viet dessert spot in saigon however it is convenient, its clean, its quiet - whats not to like? they even have the Flan dessert! and hello durian! overall i found this a nice spot for quick catch ups with mates or even a quick dessert bite on the way home. the place isnt that big, id say if ur coming in a group then to max it at 4ppl!
