Cafe Clover - Review - West Village - New York - The Infatuation

"If we get one more fresh, farm-sourced California-inspired restaurant, we’ll be in serious danger of attracting all the sun-seeking Benedict Arnolds back from San Francisco. But if Cafe Clover wants to stay a while, we certainly won’t mind. You see, they’ve somehow found a way to give off a warm, summer-y, homey vibe no matter how crowded it is or how much snow is dumping outside. Kind of like when you enter Mary’s Fish Camp and get a sudden urge to sail the sh*t out of Cape Cod. When you enter Cafe Clover, you can’t help but feel like you’re one of the pretty people who lunches on weekdays in Santa Monica. In an elegant, yet come-as-you-are kind of way. We won’t lie. The most accurate way to describe Cafe Clover’s menu is “chick food.” With “chick” being interchangeable with any term you have for humans of any gender who have an annual SoulCycle membership, attend Fashion Week events, and/or know every lyric on Michelle Branch’s break out album. All things we respect, but don’t necessarily dabble in. But next time we’re looking to prove to visiting parents that we’re operational adults, or even better, trying to show our new squeeze we know what spaghetti squash is, Cafe Clover will be on the list. It also has serious eating alone/meeting some fabulous folk at the bar potential. Just watch out for the models. They’re mean when they’re craving cauliflower steak. Food Rundown Sweet Potatoes There are several fresh-looking vegetable selections to kick off your meal, and they even offer a Westville market plate-style 3 for $22 option to share with the table. If you’re in for something cozy and flavorful, hit up these bad boys. Diver Scallops Perfectly pan-seared with a light ginger flavor to give ’em some kick. Celery Root Salad It has the texture of spaghetti squash, but the taste of a sassy vinaigrette. Chick. Food. On. Fleek. Octopus A La Planche These spicy and lightly sauced tentacles are the business. Organic Scottish Salmon We’re always disappointed when our Scottish salmon is served sans bagpipes. But the simplicity of this lighter dish makes up for it. Quinoa Tagliatelle Don’t let the word “quinoa” deter you. This dish is dangerously close to replacing Lupa’s carbonara on the top of our craving list. It’s light, but savory and flavorful. Pasture Raised Beef Burger This burger isn’t great, but if you’re in a beefy mood, this is a solid bet. It’s served on a sweet potato bun and comes with any side you want. Like always, we recommend adding cheddar. Halibut The fish itself melts in your mouth, while the vegetable and lentil accoutrements bring the party. Even halibut haters will be into this dish. Brussels Sprouts In theory, brussels sprouts roasted with jalapenos sounds genius. But in practice, they just toss them into the mix and hope for the best. We’d expect more flavor here, but instead, they’re just meh. Olive Oil Potato Purée Not only is its mini ceramic serving pot adorable, this side is a must-have. The portion isn’t huge, but the flavor is big enough to make you genuinely entertain the ultimate first world curiosity: where does Cafe Clover get their olive oil?" - Calais Zagarow

The strawberry milk ice was generous in portion and tasted really good! But I was honestly speechless that the store didn’t have the air conditioning on — especially when it was 97°F outside! It was unbearably hot inside. Also, the staff didn’t seem very friendly or welcoming.

My partner and I decided to go to Cafe Clover as it was a beautiful way to start our day . All was going well until the owner of the establishment came in, even the aura of the employees changed which was very noticeable by the way and not in a good way. My partner had his road bike which he brought inside the cafe because there's no way it was safe to leave it outside unsecured. The owner then came over to us and stated if we were only staying for 30 minutes we'll have to park the bike on the outside, but if longer than 30 minutes it's okay to leave it inside with us. My partner responded and said we would be there for a few hours but I guessed that didn't register to him. By this time we were there for approx. 4 hours, during those hours we bought multiple items ( a smoothie, cappuccino and a tiramisu shaved ice bowl). The owner approached my partner again and said in so many words " It is getting crowded, your bike cannot stay inside". My partner responded " we are getting ready to wrap things up without even giving an exact time because we are entitled to stay as long as we wish without anyone rushing us. At this point he was sitting to the right of us, all we heard was " EXCUSE ME YOU SAID 30 MINUTES YOU HAVE TO LEAVE NOW" in a very loud and disrespectful manner, that caught us by surprise. I was very upset and so was my partner because that was no way to speak to someone. How dare you!. He handled the situation better than I would've like the gentleman that he is. There was a significant customer volume at the time so everyone saw what happened. One of his employees came over being very apologetic which we truly appreciated but unfortunately the damage was already done. I can proudly say we will never support cafe clover again. Can we say racially profiled for having a bike!!!!! Just unacceptable. In addition I think it's time for him to retire. He is simply just an unpleasant human being. The happiness and satisfaction of your customers should always be a top priority. In this case unfortunately it was not.

Been in the area before but never actually stopped in and then my friend recommended this place for us to chill and complete some work. Seats were available in the front however, we decided to go to the back and sit. They have two (very clean) restrooms available. I ordered the BLT with the chipotle sauce, it came with a bag of potato chips. I also got the tropical green tea (hot). Everything tasted great.

I felt bad for the cafe since the bingsu & drinks are pretty good; HOWEVER, the service is another story. The one with glasses is okay but the one with false eye lashes is rude. She doesn’t seem to be enthusiastic to work. I said hi which she simply looked at me like I said something offensive to her. Maybe the owner needs to train their employees better???

This is one of those rare 3 stars. The people are nice and the service was quick but, the coffee was in no ways good. My girlfriend had her drink remade because it was essentially Watery, burnt coffee. We got the remade coffee and it was not great at all. The ambiance of the business was okay though. There were many students there as well as families 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 👨‍👩‍👦

Their drinks are expensive but good. downside is you have to pay for the wifi (which is fine on its own) but they often change the password so you have to pay every time for the new password, also lock up the bathroom and keep it for customers only. It just feels very stingy, not the vibe :(

I visited this café with my wife and colleagues. While the POS system was down, the owner—visibly upset—began shouting at staff in front of customers, using harsh language in Korean. The atmosphere quickly became tense and unpleasant. Although we were told we could place our order and pay later, the level of anger made us too uncomfortable to stay. When we politely declined, the owner harshly told us to leave. It was upsetting not just for us, but for other customers around us as well. What stayed with me most was the look on the young staff’s faces—silent, nervous, and clearly used to this kind of treatment. As a fellow business owner, I believe leadership should be built on respect. No employee deserves to be humiliated in public, and no customer should be made to feel like an intruder.

Their bingsoo is amazing! I got the misugaru (powder made from various grains) bingsoo and the shaved milky ice was so soft and just melted in your mouth. There are plenty of seats and tables available and the service was excellent. I will be back to try other flavors soon.

The taiyaki fish had little flavor, mostly just the taste of flour. The service was lacking; they simply brought out the taiyaki and called out our names without explaining which flavor was which, though we ordered vanilla and matcha how we suppose to tell. The hot chocolate was rich and tasty, but it wasn't hot at all. The atmosphere was quiet, but the cleanliness left much to be desired, as 6 out of 10 tables were not clean, and we noticed dirty liquid stains on the surfaces.

I stopped at Cafe Clover for some evening dessert. The cafe is open all day and offers a great variety of both food and beverage options. The interior is decorated well and has ample seating areas. I ordered a Vanilla Ice Cream Taiyaki. The employees let me know that it would be about 10 minutes since they were making a fresh batch of taiyaki. It ended up being about 25 minutes, which I thought was a bit long. Regardless, the Taiyaki looked and tasted delicious. It had a great balance of a crispy outer layer and soft interior. I had a decent experience at Cafe Clover. My dessert quality was good and compared well to what I've tried elsewhere. This place has a great variety of options, so I can see myself returning when I'm in the area again.

We got the strawberry shaven milk ice. It was pretty big and can definitely split between 4. It is packed with strawberries and the ice is flavored so it isn't bland. The red bean is pretty sweet. Towards the bottom we were surprised with extra pieces of mochi and strawberry jam. Overall, it was delicious and would highly recommend! Cafe Clover is conveniently located in the same plaza as HMart and Dubu. It's the perfect spot to stop at for dessert or to grab a coffee. It's pretty spacious and quiet. Plenty of tables to work at & free WiFi. They seemed to have rebranded again.

A very nice date spot or hang out for friends. Korean Cafe with bingsu, taiyaki, smoothies and espresso coffees. Great avocado smoothie and strawberry lemonade! Iced taiyaki was delicious!

My 2 friends and I ordered matcha here and it was so yummy! I got a tad nervure at first as the color wasn't as green as I expected, but the texture and taste were spectacular!

Bingsu is a must! Really soft snow and perfect amount of sweet for me. Mangos were crazy good, perfectly ripe! Condensed milk on the side so you can adjust sweetness as you wish. Pretty smart. I just wish mochi bits were on top instead of hidden on the bottom though. Plenty of seating and nice, clean interior. Staff were helpful answering our questions.

Each time I come here I leave with a good customer experience. EXCEPT for this time. I called ahead to order because I was extremely busy. I'm a college student trying to get everything done, and I didn't have much time to spend, so I called ahead. I call ahead to order and when the girl taking my class asks what time I would be coming, I say "maybe 20-25 minutes". Most of the time I order, I wait like 15-20 minutes for a pastry. A good day is 10 minutes, and I've once waited 30. The time I wait doesn't really matter to me because I want what I order, so it's okay to wait. But I didn't have time to waste so I thought it would be a good idea to call ahead. Immediately I'm shocked. I asked to order, gave my order, and I am met with laughing. She says she'll wait till I get closer to make the order, but she can't hide her laughing. Literally anything she said after I said I'd be maybe 20-25 minutes, she speaks and laughs. I'm not sure how to deal with this because I've quite honestly never once had an interaction where I am ordering and the person taking me is laughing at me. So I just ignore it and pretend that she isn't just laughing at me. This is a horrible customer service. Like I don't know if she was having a really good day where she forgot how to treat customers or what. I ALWAYS have great service provided when I call ahead, but this time was disappointing. Aside from that one awful interaction, the cafe is great and the food is good. Even though I am somewhat far, I come occasionally. I would rate it 4 stars, but this interaction ruined my day in all honesty.

Great shaved ice. I had the strawberry cheese cake and it was so good it literally melts in your mouth. It had pieces of cheese cake and strawberry around it. It was very pretty too. So we came with a group of 4 and they were about to close literally in like 15 mins. They took our ordered and they didn't rush us. We literally finished it in 10 mins and stayed 2 mins passed closing. It's a pretty decent place to hang out and have conversations.

Great spot to sit and chat with a friend or even get work done! It's a pretty quiet and relaxed atmosphere and the staff is always so friendly. My favorite drink here is the Jeju Hanlabong hot tea. It's sweet and flavorful - if you like citrus, definitely give this a try! The cinnamon roll and the coffee cake are tasty as well. The breakfast sandwiches aren't bad, but I've had better. I think it's the roll they use that I don't love. Overall, great spot to visit for a relaxed vibe and good tea!

The store advertises opening at 11 AM, but when we arrived right on time, the door was still closed. We stood outside in the cold, clearly visible to the staff, who made no effort to open the door--even 10 minutes past the posted opening time. This place lacks respect for its customers. I recommend visiting Tous Les Jours in Elkins Park instead for better food, service, and ambiance.

Really good Bingsoo (Korean shaved ice (diary based)) spot close to Philly! They offer so many good flavors, there is something for everyone. In addition to Bingsoo, they offer taiyaki and western desserts like cake and cheesecake. Vibe is really chill. You can definitely come here with a group of friends to hang out or come by yourself with your laptop to do work. There's ample of parking spots in the shopping center lot right outside.

We ordered mango milk snow, strawberry& mango milk snow, sampler taiyaki pack (cookie, nutella banana, red bean, and vanilla custard). For a dessert I feel like it was pricey. 1pc of taiyaki is already $5. The milk snow was delicious and cookie taiyaki. The guy that took our order was rude. They had a lot of seating and area in the back is nice. Great for people to hangout/ do homework/ read etc.

Taiyaki here is so good! They made it fresh and it came out HOT! Vanilla custard is a solid choice. We got the matcha too but the vanilla is still better in terms of flavor. We got two for 3 of us. I think if you got one and shared it, it would be enough. They're not super sweet either which makes it perfect for us

Korean shaved ice (bingsu) is the perfect refreshing cold treat. The matcha cheesecake flavor is decorated with delicious cheesecake, crispy wafer cookies, little chewy mochi, fluffy whipped cream, and a big scoop of creamy matcha gelato on top. The strawberry red bean shaved ice with mochi is also super yummy. Not pictured here, but the tiramisu one is also amazing. All of them come with a side of sweetened condensed milk for you to drizzle on top.

This is a cute cafe for desserts after a meal or a place to just simply relax. The menu has a wide variety of dessert options from coffee to milk tea, shave ice to taiyaki. I got the regular milk tea, taiyaki, and bingsoo which is shaved ice with ice cream and mango. I would recommend the bingsoo of all the items I got as the portion is huge and I don't find a lot of places around that serve bingsoo. The service was good and the food came out at a reasonable time. I didn't have to wait long.

Cozy Space. Delicious Desserts. Clean. Cafe Clover offers a warm & cozy aesthetic to complement its desserts' icy deliciousness. A wonderful place to socialize, as well as study. Clean and well-managed. While I don't enjoy the coffee here, the alternative beverages are tasty. Amiable clientele. Family-friendly. Welcoming.

Amazing little cafe with some bakery products and drink selections. I cannot believe they make Yuzu drink here omg, if you never had it you best come here to try it, it's a Japanese lemon drink that's hard to find in America. I didn't get to try their other products yet but they got teas and coffees. The inside looks really cute like a Korean cafe, with books and games. They have nice clean bathrooms for customers to use

The inside is beautifully done. Gives a great cafe vibe! Lots of places to sit and places to study, but it can get a bit noisy so bring some noise cancelling headphones if you want to study. Great place for hanging out. We got the tiramisu shaved ice bowl. It was delicious even in this chilly weather. The ice cream matched well with the tiramisu flavor. The shaved ice was light and fluffy and melts easily in your mouth. The best part is you can take your time eating this because nothing melted. The ice cream barely melted either. It's a great combination of flavor and textures. The best part was it wasn't too sweet. The tiramisu could have been better. Flavor wise it hits those tiramisu notes, but it could definitely use a more time defrosting as it was basically a brick. Overall amazing place, great prices, and delicious food.

Hello, today I adventured out to cafe clover! When i walked in i was immediately hit with nostalgia. I came here as a youngster and I have now returned. It definitely lived up to my expectations from what I remembered. The food was simple yet delicious. I devoured that avocado toast as you can see in the photo above. This is such a cute little cafe, I definitely recommend! The chai latte was average. The matcha boba was creamy and had the perfect ratio of matcha, it wasn't too overpowering. The mango smoothie is refreshing and filled my mouth with delight. There was only one person working there with many orders, so props to them!

Dessert was great! Got the green tea and cheesecake bingsu. The bingsu was nice and cold but not like regular shaved ice - it had a milk flavor essence to it! 10/10 was great. Service was quick and the ambiance was a café with lots of cute seating!

Because it's next to H-Mart (and I end up at H-Mart a lot) I find myself frequenting this cafe often. While I usually get bubble tea of some sort, this is not a bubble tea speciality shop, so you won't have an endless menu of boba and milk options to sort through. They have ice cream, cookies and shaved ice. Try the shaved ice (bingsoo), it's so incredibly tasty! It can feed a lot of people too, so don't attempt it by yourself. I had the strawberry bingsoo and it was packed full of strawberries and red beans, so even though it's expensive you'll get a lot for the money. I like this place as an all around dessert and beverage shop, and it's a great addition to the area.

Perfect place to grab dessert here after a meal at Dubu!! Hands down the best Korean shaved ice in the city, I've tried a few flavors and have not been disappointed. It is a little pricy but the portion size is generous and definitely enough to share between 2+ people. Will definitely be back to try out more flavors!

If you are in the mood for some good dessert then you must come to Cafe Clover. Any sweet tooth cravings will be fulfilled by here. My recommendations to go with the shaved ice. Can never go wrong with that. Or go with just flaky warm fluffy taiyaki. Or if you want to go a step further....get the taiyaki with ice cream on top. If this place doesn't satisfied your dessert cravings then I don't know what will.

I grew up coming here all the time, I love their menu and the setting. I always feel homey and warm being in there so obviously knowing so it became my go to cafe, I usually go for getting work done but recently i picked up the hobby of crocheting. So yesterday, i called up a few friends so we could chill and crochet in the back and were probably there for 2 hrs and 30 mins. We had ordered like 3 separate times. We gotten a medium maple macchiato, a large chai, and lastly two taiyakis. Coincidentally, as we were debating whether or not to finish off with the mango bing-su some rude man approached our table. Mind you there's many tables in this establishment and i can tell you there were 3 around us that were empty. He said to us "You guys have been here all day and have ordered nothing, people want to sit in the back." Obviously this is no way to approach any customer paying or not, you should obviously approach with a question or being reasonable. Due to our anger we left, we were saddened because this was a cafe we grow up using but now will no longer visit because whoever is managing that establishment was rude. We did stick up for ourselves before leaving and saying we did pay, as our receipt was the only evidence remaining on the table (we were so kind to have cleaned up after ourselves, i guess no trace of purchase was seen) No apology after we had proof, instead he just asked us to sit at the front. There were so many other people next to us, there was even a guy by himself that came before us already there (no drink or order on table either) and he didnt even speak to him. Word of advice if you dont want to be kicked out, just keep a laptop on the table even if you aren't using it lmao. I was also planning on giving one star, but since the workers were nice (two young girls & the young gentleman; not the cranky old man) I gave them an extra star.

Came here on multiple occasions. Nice ambiance, open tables, spacious parking lot. On Feb 7, 2023 at 2:02 pm, I had ordered a small caramel macchiato. No biggie. Person in front of me ordered a drink and sandwich and got it within 8 minutes. I waited 22 minutes for a small drink. There were two workers and seems like one was in training. I understand coffee shops tend to be busy but it was a simple drink that could've been made in two minutes (as they did eventually). I had sat in front of them and had a feeling they didn't know. I asked them politely how much longer it would be and they stated that they had forgotten when they asked what I ordered, what size, hot or cold. Ok. Other trips were fine, tables were somewhat dirty but drinks came out within five minutes. Nothing against the employees, just super disappointed this time around.

Tasty matcha green tea w/bubbles. My friend got the coconut bubble tea and did not recommend it. Other friends got mango bubble tea and thought it was ok. Mango smoothie was okay. Niece got the fish cone with chocolate ice cream...she loved it. Overall B rating.

Love their bingsoo, and the interior is always clean. A nice spot for dessert, studying, or a casual meet-up! All of the flavors of shaved ice are delicious, but I had the strawberry cheesecake shaved ice (shaved milk ice) and it was perfectly sweet! They give you a side of condensed milk to pour over it but I decided not to use it because it was just sweet enough. Little bits of Mochi are hidden underneath too. Definitely share this with a friend unless you have a massive sweet tooth or appetite.

Not many places sell delicious taiyaki in and out of Philly, not to mention a variety of Japanese-Korean-Chinese desserts (I'm eying you next, mango snow ball mountain...) There's also a lot of hot or iced drinks to choose from. This time around, I popped by for the gelato taiyaki combo: custard cream on the bottom of the fish shaped "cone" and coffee gelato on top. It was a piece of nostalgic heaven. FYI, remember to bring cash if you're spending less than $10. There's a minimum to use card. The cafe is clean, open, and the staff were very friendly. I saw several people working inside on their laptops as it's a chill and quiet place to concentrate. HMart is just across the parking lot, and the cafe is right next to Dubu and Sangkee. Highly recommend it!

Very chill area to do homework and study during the day. The ice cream taiyaki is a favorite, with red bean. Shaved ice is loaded with toppings and is really good to share with others. The workers are very nice free wifi ! Bubble tea is not my favorite here but the ice cream desserts never disappoint!

Had to come here when I heard they had bingsu or shaved ice. My friends and I got the strawberry one and it was not that bad. I was not displeased or amazed. This shaved ice did not seem as good or refreshing as the ones in Korea. The service and atmosphere is good and there is alot of open and semi private spacing. I would come back if my friends would be down. Overall: 3 Food: 3 Service: 3 Price: 3 Atmosphere: 3

Super cute place. I always see people hanging and chatting. I also see people getting work done on their laptops. I've tried the taiyaki and the snow ice here. Both were good. I like the cookies and creme ice cream. It doesn't taste like normal cookies&creme as it is much lighter tasting, but it is still very good. I always stop in after having dinner next door.

Yelp
had many of their bingsoo's, but now i pretty much settle for just a cup of coffee or their grapefruit slush. the bingsoo is good but nothing extraordinary, and it can get pretty sweet so i wouldn't recommend it when sharing between only two people. out of all the bingsoo's i had here, i'd say the mocha was my favorite because of the coffee shaved ice! their grapefruit and hallabong frozen drinks are also great as well! the only thing i would have to really say in disfavor is that they don't offer stamps on their punch card for anything other than drinks which makes no sense to me because the other items cost so much more than a drink!

So happy I was finally able to make it here. Pretty much the only place locally I know of that does the taiyaki fish cone with ice cream. Taiyaki cone with red bean filling was delicious and ample amount of gelato flavors to choose from. Was in a chocolate mood but plenty of other "different" flavors. Would love to try some of the other Korean desserts they offer!

Nice little cafe with a nice selection of desserts and other sweets. I went here with my cousins and got the ice taiyaki which was perfect for a hot summer day. I got it with the red bean filling and tiramisu ice cream, which was very rich and creamy. However, they also have a vanilla custard base which goes great with the taiyaki. We also got a slice of cheesecake which was so rich and flavorful. Definitely recommend coming here with family or friends to sit around and enjoy a wide variety of sweets!

Ugh... It was not what I was expecting! We were done eating lunch and I wanted dessert. My friend had suggested the taiyaki as we had it in different places. We got a red bean and a vanilla for $3 each with separate scoop of green tea ice cream. Although there were plenty of seats, the seats with the cushions were all sunk in. It was quite uncomfortable as I felt like I was sitting low on the ground. Our order took a bit longer since they were making it fresh. When it came out, it was nice and warm. The taiyaki was such a disappointment! I thought it was going to be light, crispy and crunchy with the filling inside. Instead, it was gooey, too sweet and chewy which was not what I wanted. The green tea ice cream was good though. Perhaps I will give it another try next time for the shaved ice.

I've been CRAVING bingsu for the longest time and when I found this place on yelp I had to jump at the opportunity to try it! Its a little bit far out from Chinatown (where I usually eat) but it's well worth the drive! I got the strawberry snow ice/bingsu and my sister got a cookies and cream ice cream taiyaki. We got a beeper and sat down. There was a lot of seating when we got there but I can see how it might fill up easily so if you can, have someone in your party grab a table first. We ended up waiting a while for our order (about 30 min for bingsu and about 15 min more for the taiyaki). I'm not sure if this is typical. The bingsu was delicious! It was so big but not too heavy. I was surprised when I found out there was red bean, strawberries, and mochi under the ice. I don't usually like red bean so next time I'd get it without but it was very good either way. I was surprised we were able to finish up all of the bingsu given it's size (it's huge). I didn't get to try the ice cream but I had a bit of the taiyaki crust and that was also good. For those who haven't tried it, it taste like a cross between a crepe and a pancake. It's very light. My sister said her ice cream was very sweet and she wasn't the biggest fan but she did like the fish cone.

My husband was in Philadelphia for work and stopped by Cafe Clover to pick up some dessert. He got the lemoncello cake and three of the stuffed fish cakes (nutella, matcha custard, red bean). The fish fakes were a little smaller than ones I have had at other places but soooo good. THe dough is a bit different because I think they use the delimanjoo batter, so sweeter and chewier. I loved the Matcha custard and will get at least two of those next time, but all of them were really good. THey are also good for later, you can just pop in the air fryer for a few minutes to warm them up.

Really cute cafe near Hmart plaza with a variety of pastries, desserts and coffee! When you walk in, it seems like a place where you can hang out and work on stuff. The prices are pretty high though, especially with the bubble tea that costs around $5 (without the bubbles!). The shaved ice is worth it if you are sharing with a large group. We got the original that has red bean, some wheat powder and mochi on top. I would recommend trying some flavored ones, as the original is very plain. It was really nice that they gave us small cups and spoons to eat, since we were sharing with many people. We also got the taiyaki pastries which are in the shape of little fish and filled with yellow custard. It is not insanely sweet -- just the right amount, and it's so easy to eat lots of them since they are pretty small! Near the counter, they have a machine that you can watch that makes and fills these pastries. Also in the counter, there are some varieties of cheesecakes and pies that you can also order.

When it's in season, the Mango Shaved Ice is unbeatable. Let's break it down: finely shaved ice (milky); fresh mangoes - and lots of them; a dollop of vanilla gelato; a side of condensed milk to drizzle to your liking; mochi balls; and mango drizzle. If you're taking out, they package it like an impeccable dessert to be hand delivered to the president. It's carefully and beautifully packed in a secure container, seated atop a bag of ice, with a side cup of condensed milk, and cups/spoons, if needed. I cannot recommend this place enough. This could be big enough for 3-4 people, but realistically, my husband and I always end up devouring it ourselves. Oh, and the staff are always sweet and attentive!

Its that time of year for the fruit bingsoo! I had it last year and it was so amazing. I had it again this year and it was just like I remembered. My parents were so impressed by the photos we went out of our way during a trip to philly to go there We were not disappointed. The shaved ice looks like a dinner meal (dolsot bibimbop) but it's a fruit bingsoo! The kids loved the icecream and the fish cone (can't remember name). We got the fish pasteries with red bean and they were kind enough to serve it hot and fresh. It was amazing! I'm sure they use some sweet rice or mochi like flour inside. Chewy and toasty crunchy. Hope to have it again next year when we visit. photos on my phone, you can see the great things others already posted

Note: I would give 3.5 but yelp doesn't give 0.5. I came back here to study. There were ample tables but very few outlets. The bubble tea I ordered was pretty good. I accidentally ordered tapioca with my bubble tea (I normally don't) but I was pleasantly surprised with the chewiness of the tapioca and I didn't mind it. One thing I didn't like was that after an hour or so, I couldn't connect to the wifi - I wasn't sure if it was just my computer, phone and tablet or if there was a time limit. Either way, food was good but I wouldn't really recommend this cafe to study.

Last time I came to Clover Cafe I had to leave without taiyaki since the establishment stops making fresh fish shaped waffles 30 minutes to an hour before closing for the night. No biggie. That just gave me another reason to come back. Today I ordered the vanilla cream taiyaki plus coffee ice cream. Such a cute and tasty sweet treat on a summer day. Outfitted with a skewer of gummy candy with a couple choc pocky sticks (my childhood fave snack), you can't go wrong. Looking forward to trying the taiyaki with green tea ice cream on my next visit.

Service needs training. Took my receipt up to them after waiting 20 minutes while others who got there after me got their orders. They completely forgot about my order. Couldn't find my receipt on their end until I showed proof that I ordered... Continued to make other orders while I had to wait for my tayakis. Giving two stars just for the food. Very loud when I came in also.
