First time having bingsu

We lived in Hawaii for a while in the past, so when I heard about bingsu as Korea's version of shave ice, I had certain expectations -- but they are very different!

This is a non dairy milk base that was super creamy, sweet but not too sweet, and very unique. It's large so I'm glad I shared one with my friend.

You take a buzzer device from a bin, order at an electronic kiosk, and then type in the number on the buzzer, so there's no real interaction with the staff.

Everything was really delicious, though.

Seating is upstairs! Great view.

lovely but limited ‘cakes’ and sugary coffee

The latte was dousled in sugar and there were no cakes but sugary treats. But it’s a cute place with a bit of a view.

Pros: The view upstairs

Cons: Too much sugar, even in the coffee (without asking

No babies or children allowed

Carted our pram all the way up the stairs only to be told they have a no kids policy and we couldn't bring our 11 month old baby in. Have been in Korea a month and this is the only time this has happened, everywhere else has been so welcoming - surprised as I thought a vegan place would be more inclusive, not less!

Cons: No kids policy

Delicious Bingsu

Was very delicious, they have a wide range of tarts, cookies and Bingsu and drinks. I had a chocolate tart and the black sesame Bingsu, can highly recommend it.

Ok, but expensive

The bingsu itself tastes fine and it looks nice. But thr valrhona chocolate sauce is thin and not really chocolaty. Also the matcha shake and chocolate shake are not really tasty. The place has a nice view, but is really loud because of a lot of customers. Also quite expensive. The bingsu was about 19000 and the shakes each 7500 Won.

Pros: View

Cons: Expensive, Not tasty

Vegan Bingsu

It was my first time eating a vegan Bingsu, and it was awesome. Got the pistachio one, not too sweet ! I love the setting, cosy, you can study quietly there.

Vegan bingsu

After climbing all the stairs on a hot day, try the vegan version of the Korean dessert bingsu! The pistachio one was really good and like the other reviews say, not too sweet.

Something new

Never had shaved ice before and definitely wanted to try it. To me it tasted better than a scoop of icecrem because of the different textures and flavours. Can recommend the black sesame one, they also had pistachio and chocolate. Asked if they could make a smaller portion but they only make one size.

Cons: Enormous portion

Pretty good

My non-vegan friend who's gluten intolerant felt like she was in heaven! The cookies were really good so I bought a few more extra to go. The only downside was the place uses way too much plastic!

super tasty, not too sweet

soooo the tart and spoon cake we got were SO GOOD. especially for it being “healthy” vegan desserts. the place itself is adorable but we didn’t get to enjoy it. the reason being that we got two desserts (around $12, which is expensive for two small things in korea). however they wouldn’t let us sit inside to eat the dessert bc we got desserts and not drinks which was frustrating😒this is common in korea but still sad bc we wanted to enjoy our desserts in the warmth of the building!

Merenda golosa

Posto carino dove fermarsi per una merenda. I loro dolci sono veramente gustosi e uno basta per sentirsi pieni. I prezzi sono leggermente più alti di quelli a cui si è abituati a Seoul.

Pâtisseries et café vegan très charmant

Tout est vegan ! Des café, thé, latte aux jolies pâtisseries et biscuits, avec une charmante salle qui dispose d'une belle vue.
J'ai pris une "tarte" chocolat et framboises. C'était très bon et consistant ! Il n'avait plus de latte au matche mais une autre boisson similaire qui était très bonne. J'ai pris un cookie pour la route qui était très moelleux 😉

Pros: Choix de pâtisseries et biscuits, Boissons bonnes et généreuses , Salle très charmante/romantique

Great!

Used to visit here a lot when they were located near Hongdae. The selection seems to have shrunk but still a lot of good choices. The tart was a bit dry, but that’s to be expected from gluten free products. If you’re searching for healthier options, definitely visit here!

Delicious!

We got a black sesame bingsu and raspberry marble tart. The bingsu was lovely and not too sweet, compared to others I've eaten. It's ideal for sharing, or just one hungry person. The tart was interesting and had a few different textures, which we enjoyed. Imo, the tart was very filling so is better for sharing! Would visit again to try the other bingsu flavours.

Pros: Oat milk bingsu and variety of flavours

Amazing vegan dessert selection!

So happy I got to try vegan bingsu before I left Seoul! I had the tiramisu flavour which was so delicious and not too sweet. I really wanted to try the cookies and cakes but most contained tree nuts which I'm allergic to. The staff were incredibly helpful with checking allergens😄
I would highly recommend the tofu shakes too! It's such an interesting texture and flavour. I prefer the matcha version over the chocolate but both are good!

Pros: Bingsu, Great range of treats and drinks

미묘..

맛과 식감 모두 미묘... 맛 대비 비싼 가격. 경리단길에 있는 비건카페들 가서 좀 더 맛있는 디저트 먹는 게 낫다고 생각.

Cute tarte

There were many flavours of tarte and they looked so cute! I picked the tiramisu flavour. The tarte came with four layers, tiramisu mousse on the top, then coffee mousse, sponge cake and tart. The taste was good. Would definitely try it again!

Nice little cafe

Lovely little cafe a short walk from Itaewon station. Had an oat milk latte and an earl grey chocochip smile rice tarte.
The tarte was very sweet and yum for an afternoon snack. Deceptively large portion however!
Latte was good, much needed break from Starbucks!

Pros: Lots of options

Cons: Almost too sweet

Good food, nice location

The portions are a little difficult for one person, especially the bingsu, but everything is well made and tasty!
If you don’t like coconut this place may not be for you though. The smoothies and pastry are made with coconut cream/oil and you can taste it a little.

Pros: All vegan, Delicious food , Big portions

Cons: A little expensive

Delicious

After eating dinner we wanted something sweet and were exciting to try out Pan Honesta since it was close by! We arrived a bit late so they were closing soon but luckily still managed to order some things.

We ended up having the Pumpkin Muffin (Which was amazing!) I don’t like pumpkin at all, but this tasted divine. The cream was lovely and the crust was crunchy. The only bad thing was the difficulty of cutting it, we had a really hard time trying to divide it in pieces and ended up destroying it😒

On the other side, I ordered an Iced Chocolate Latte which was good! A bit too dense for me, but that’s just personal preference.

I’m excited to come back and try the bingsu with some friends~
