The shop opens from 10am to 10pm and is always crowded. According to the shop staff, there are peak periods when customers line up all the way to the end of the alley. Most of the customers buy the dessert to go because the shop only has enough space for 15-20 people.

Customers should also pay attention to the ideal time to visit the shop. If you want to enjoy refreshing desserts such as green bean dessert, purple potato dessert..., customers can come to the shop in the morning. However, some typical desserts such as tapioca dumpling dessert with roasted pork, lotus seed dessert... may not be ready at this time.

If you go too late, in the evening, some of the desserts may be sold out. Therefore, if you want to enjoy typical desserts such as tapioca pork roast or Hue lotus, come in the afternoon. This is the most ideal time to enjoy all the desserts, when they are cooked and ready to serve customers.
