Che is a distinctive Vietnamese dish that you can't miss when visiting Sacramento. Below are some places we recommend to enjoy this dish.
Lien Hoa Bakery Top Pick
Lien Hoa Bakery carries a rotating selection of chè in their dessert case. Their chè ba màu is excellent — layers of red beans, mung beans, and pandan jelly in coconut milk, served over ice. The ingredients are fresh and the sweetness is well-balanced. Also available: chè đậu xanh (mung bean) and chè trôi nước (glutinous rice balls).
My Duyen Sandwiches Best Value
In addition to their famous bánh mì, My Duyen carries a selection of Vietnamese desserts including chè. Their chè thái (Thai-style fruit cocktail dessert) is a popular choice — a refreshing mix of fruits and jellies in coconut milk.
Cafe Hidden Gem
This modern Vietnamese cafe offers a rotating selection of chè alongside their coffee drinks. Their presentation is more polished than the traditional bakeries, but the flavors are authentic.
