My Khê Beach is regularly ranked among the best beaches in Southeast Asia — wide, clean, and just minutes from Da Nang's city centre. What many visitors don't realise is that the dessert options nearby are surprisingly excellent. Whether you want to cool down after a swim or reward yourself after a long beach walk, here are the five best sweet treats within easy reach.
See our full Top 10 rankings for a broader look at Da Nang's best desserts across the whole city.

1. Crema Gelato — Best for a Post-Swim Cool-Down
If there's one dessert made for beach life, it's gelato — and Crema Gelato is Da Nang's best. Made using an authentic Italian recipe with real ingredients, the flavours are clean and intensely satisfying. It's a short walk or quick Grab ride from My Khê, which makes it the natural first stop after towelling off. Expect flavours like pistachio, mango sorbet, and dark chocolate, all freshly churned. This is the kind of gelato you'd queue for in Milan.

2. Sugar Daddy (via Grab) — For When You Can't Leave the Hotel
After a full day on the sand, sometimes you don't want to move. That's where Grab delivery becomes your best friend. Sugar Daddy — Da Nang's beloved brioche bakery — delivers directly to hotels in the My Khê area, and their warm Nutella brioche is one of the most popular dessert deliveries in the city. It arrives fresh, packaged well, and tastes every bit as good as dining in. For beach-holiday convenience, it's hard to beat. Order on Grab here.

3. Bánh Flan (Street Stalls) — The Beachfront Classic
As you walk along the seafront promenade, you'll spot portable carts and small stalls selling bánh flan — Vietnamese-style crème caramel. Cold, wobbling, set with a thin caramel layer on top, and priced between 10,000–15,000 VND, this is one of Vietnam's most beloved street desserts. It's not fancy, but it's absolutely delicious on a hot afternoon. Don't overthink it — just point and pay.

4. Mlem Pudding — The Instagram-Worthy Experience
A short Grab ride from the beach brings you to Mlem Pudding, one of Da Nang's most visually striking dessert spots. Their signature puddings come in elaborate flavour combinations with photogenic plating — they're genuinely delicious too, not just good-looking. If you're travelling with someone who documents every meal, this is the place to take them. It's also available on Grab if you'd rather stay beachside.

5. Nắng Ngọt — A Proper Sit-Down Pastry Break
For those who want to escape the sun and sit in a beautiful café, Nắng Ngọt is the answer. This elegant spot blends French and Vietnamese pastry traditions — think buttery croissants, delicate tarts, and house-made cakes served in a light-filled interior. It's the kind of café that makes you slow down and savour the afternoon. Perfect for the day you want something more refined than a beach snack.
