Che Bong Dessert & Snacks

Chè bong is our go to spot for Vietnamese desserts and really love their variety! As someone who became obsessed with Chè after eating it in Vietnam, I was a bit disappointed with the Che options here’s until Chè bong opened! At one point last year, I was obsessed and going every week . There’s a lot of variety in the desserts so it’s hard to get bored! Our go to orders are generally the durian Chè, fruity Chè, pomelo Chè and mango sago. But I’ve also had their tofu, coffee, coffee Chè. Pretty much have tried every single dessert option here lol and you can’t go wrong with anything! First off they use REAL jack fruit (Not canned)! It’s one of my fav Asian fruits but it’s so hard to find in desserts here. It’s pretty labour intensive to peel fresh jackfruit not to mention it’s expensive! Secondly their durian is really good - I always wish there was more in the durian Chè but it’s creamy and adds such great pungency to their dessert. I became a fan of pomelo Chè when I ate it in Hanoi a few years ago but have never been able to find it anywhere / it’s also incredibly labour intensive to make - but they have it here on the weekends!! It’s difficult to explain the flavour and texture - but it chewy, sticky, and there’s no citrus notes from the pomelo as the rind is used. It’s cooked in a tapioca liquid so it makes it almost gooey, and I love the little bit of coconut cream on top. It’s one of my favourite desserts here. Spot is tucked in Chinatown and there isn’t a ton of seating but we often get their desserts to go. They do have some small tables and chairs, but seating is limited. The owner and staff are friendly and service is quick. Their prices generally $ range from $8-10 which I think it’s reasonable because they make a lot of things from scratch and they use more expensive fruits! Would definitely recommend visiting Chè bong if you’re looking for authentic Vietnamese desserts!

The mango sago was refreshingly cold, and the mango contrasted the sweet coconut milk. The milk pudding was really tasty and overall the dessert was not too sweet but perfect.

Ordered a mango sago and a strawberry pana cotta to enjoy at the little cafe tables they have outside the shop. Both were great! None of us had ever had anything like the mango sago and we all loved it!

This is my favourite spot in Calgary for Sago - With my favourite being their mango Sago. It is very affordable with the toppings you can add also very reasonably priced. The staff are super friendly and their desserts have me coming back over and over again! Couldn’t be happier :)

I ordered Banh Mi sate beef and brown sugar tofu pudding. It was so good! I will be back soon.

After going to Tina Dessert a lot in Vancouver, I have been trying to find something similar in Calgary since Bambu closed and so happy that I found one! The drink is soo delicious, toppings are generous and I now don’t have to fly to Vancouver often to get my weekly dose of che!!!

This place? Absolute madness – in the best way possible. I was just wandering by, minding my own business, when my sugar cravings hit like a truck. Saw the sign, walked in for one dessert… and suddenly I’m questioning why I even have a home.

The chicken sate banh mi is yummy! Quite generous and larger than I was expecting. I wish they put more spicy sauce and more cilantro as it was a little on the dry side but enjoyable nonetheless. The desserts were unique and much like those I tasted in Vietnam which I was pleasantly surprised to find in Calgary. Servers are sweet and efficient, though my sandwich did take quite a bit of time to be made. Overall would recommend.
