I came here in the past for their bingsoo and it was good. I haven’t came here in years and so I decided to get a drink from there. I ordered a strawberry matcha, and someone else ordered a caramel macchiato both less ice and less sweet. I was told that the caramel macchiato was good but the strawberry matcha I had was really bad. There was no matcha flavor at all and it tasted mostly like milk. I did ask if I could exchange the drink but the cashier said I couldn’t so I asked him if he could make it sweeter or add more flavor in it so he added more strawberry syrup which made it taste better but barely. It wasn’t the sweetness that was the problem, it was that matcha flavor itself. Another thing was that they charge $0.25 for less ice. I wish they would’ve informed me of that beforehand otherwise I wouldn’t mind regular ice. Even when I got less ice, the cup wasn’t filled all the way up. I’m not expecting it to be filled from the brim, but especially because I paid for less ice I would expect to have a little more liquid. Overall the decor is nice and it’s a good place to chill/hangout. Music is good too. Maybe next time I’ll come to try a different drink and stick to the bingsoo. But this time I came, I was a bit disappointed.

I stopped in on a whim looking for a sweet treat and I found one. The mango treat hit the spot. It was made to order and seemed to be fresh mango. From the looks of it the portion of the other treats were big, so things are shareable. many people were enjoying coffee and working when I arrived. The space was clean and spacious.

I’d give the shaved ice a 3.8 out of 5. A decent treat. But definitely nowhere near as good as bingsu in Korea. We liked the mango cheese cake better than chocolate Oreo. We paid about $19 for both

Aye t̾e̾r̾p̾y̾fam now thissss.....this tf I'm talkin bout!! this has to be one of the best dessert shops in the city. I'll be back soon af cuz this is a bib frfr. The shaved ice is a nice consistency, the small cups are tricky to eat but the experience is unreal. The strawberry matcha is wild... the matcha sauce with how fresh the strawberries were just crazy. Overall not super sweet and an asmr experience in textures. The condensed milk gummies are soooo good. This is a big win! Got a yuzu-ade which really delivered authentic yuzufruit flavor which is like a sweet lemony grapefruit mfer. This one rly surprised the fucc outta ya guy so much I'll be in here more often ngl

We ordered matcha red bean sesame milk shave ice, and it was super good! You got different layers or flavors and textures, and I must say whoever came up with this idea of the orchestration among these three ingredients is a genius. The store is pretty busy during the weekend afternoon, so it is kind of hard to find a seat.

Such a cozy little dessert spot tucked in Manhattan! I stopped by for a treat and was so glad I did. The bingsu was fluffy and not overly sweet, and the presentation was adorable. The staff were kind, the vibe was chill, and it’s the perfect place to relax after a long day. Whether you’re into shaved ice, matcha drinks, or aesthetic desserts, this spot has something special. Will definitely come back with friends!
