Little Bowl Chè is such a hidden gem in Hanoi! The café is incredibly cute, cozy, and full of charm—the perfect place to take a break and enjoy a traditional Vietnamese dessert. We absolutely fell in love with their chè. The Mixed Durian Bowl was rich, creamy, and packed with flavour, while the Traditional Mixed Bowl Chè was wonderfully refreshing with a great variety of textures and ingredients. Both were so delicious that they quickly became our favourites. If you’re looking for an authentic dessert spot with a welcoming atmosphere, Little Bowl Chè is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be coming back the next time we’re in Hanoi!

An amazing bowl of flavours at The Little Bowl today! I tried the Kem Chè ice cream bowl, and it was absolutely delicious. Packed with creamy ice cream, chewy tapioca, popping pearls, caramel flan, and plenty of sweet treats, every spoonful was full of different textures and flavours. Everything was beautifully balanced and clearly made with love and attention to detail. It's easily one of the best Chè desserts we've found in Hanoi so far. Highly recommended if you're looking for a unique and memorable sweet treat! 😋❤️

First time tried yogurt+jackfruit. It was amazing. Good combination. Got only one staff in a store, then you need to wait for a while to order. But all ok, somehow the dessert is good.

Little Bowl is definitely one of my favorite dessert spots in Hanoi. I really enjoyed the ambience — cozy, relaxing, and perfect for hanging out or satisfying dessert cravings. The staff were also friendly and accommodating, which made the overall experience even better. The food was delicious and definitely did not disappoint. Although their prices are more affordable compared to other dessert places, the portions are slightly smaller as well. Still, when it comes to taste, they absolutely keep up with the competition. Everything I tried was flavorful, well-made, and worth it for the price. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for good desserts in Hanoi. Great atmosphere, friendly service, affordable prices, and quality food — I would happily come back again.
