Tràng Tiền Ice-Cream, Hanoi

Tràng Tiền Ice-Cream is a beloved Hanoian tradition that dates back to 1958, located on Tràng Tiền Street in the heart of Vietnam's capital. Originally introduced by French colonists during the colonial period as a luxury item at the Grand Hotel, ice cream was out of reach for most locals until the establishment of Tràng Tiền Ice-Cream. This local vendor transformed ice cream from an inaccessible luxury to a popular treat and a cultural icon in Hanoi.

The ice cream parlor is renowned for maintaining the high quality and unique flavors that have captivated locals and tourists alike for over 65 years. Featuring natural fragrances and a tender texture that melts instantly in the mouth, Tràng Tiền Ice-Cream offers a variety of flavors such as chocolate, green rice, and green bean, each crafted using traditional handicraft production methods and natural ingredients. This approach not only enhances the taste but also ensures the product's healthiness.

One of the highlights is the Tràng Tiền Ice Cream Cone, a favorite among patrons. This treat combines freshly made, mildly sweet ice cream with a crunchy, cinnamon-scented cone, providing a delightful sensory experience. The ice cream's perfect storage temperature ensures it is neither too cold nor too hard, making it enjoyable throughout the year.

Today, Tràng Tiền Ice-Cream is not just a place to enjoy a tasty snack; it is a cultural landmark and a must-visit destination in Hanoi for anyone looking to experience the authentic flavors and traditions of this historic city.
