It's strawberry season!!! I prefer this to the previous featured fruit which was fig haha. Since not many people mentioned about their queueing experience, let me state mine: I came around 12.30pm on a Thursday and I was the first in line (they open at 1pm). You can comfortably come at 12.45pm and still get a seat, as well as their popular cakes. However, please note that the store only accomodates 2x10 seats + 6x bar seats so it is a little small and slightly noisy in a good way. Coming in with 3 or more people in a group will be a struggle. You might have to come earlier on a weekend. The staff were friendly and efficient as well. Ordered the strawberry bingsu and strawberry Dubai choc crepe cake, as well as Americano and strawberry latte. The strawberries were really huge and naturally sweet! The desserts were just right sweetness. Amazing. However, I prefer the decadent Dubai chocolate in Hanjungsun more but it is just a personal preference. I paid a total of 69200KRW in total so it is on the pricy side (my lunch costed less haha!!). However, the strawberies were really big, juicy and fresh, as well as sourced from a local farmer so I think the price is justifiable. Excited to come back for their peach next time / in summer!

Extremely busy, but worth the wait. We queued up remotely via catchtable and ended waiting more than 3 hours. The bingsoo and strawberry cake were one of the best bites of food ever! Come if you have the chance but be prepared and queue up early!

The wait was so worth it! Need to make a reservation first before you can order. I love the terrace spot, it completed the afternoon dessert vibes. The peach bingsu was amazing. The peach was so fresh, the shaved ice was so milky. Overall, it was a really refreshing summer dessert! Will definitely go back once it's strawberry season again 🥹🫶🏼

Have been seeing this cafe all over social media. We started queuing 15mins before opening time, but there was already a short queue before us. The cakes and bingsu are not cheap, but then again, it’s fully loaded with fruits. Overall, it’s good for a first visit but probably won’t try it again.

This spot was highly recommended on Instagram so we decided to give it a try. I was especially hoping to be able to try the peach bingsu but I think at the point in time when we came the season for peaches might have been over so their only offerings were fig and mango :(((( The wait was incredibly long for 4 people, we had to wait about 3 hours from the time we put ourselves on the waitlist till when we actually were seated. The price of the bingsu on the other hand made our eyes bulge out of our heads. We weren’t expecting it to be minimum 35,000 for the bingsu so we had pretty high hopes since it was this expensive. The taste was okay…I’m not sure if it was really worth it in the end so it soured the experience for us when we had such little time in Seoul to have to wait 3 hours for bingsu that was just okay. I think if you’re okay with waiting for it then you should give it a try, otherwise this place should just be a skip.

saw this place all over the internet so i decided to give it a try! the dessert here is based on seasonal fruit (it was fig season when i visit) the cakes are NOT TOO SWEET and full with the flavour of the fruits. their bingsu is a must try too!!! the staffs here are very friendly and atmosphere is a plus point!

The strawberry cake is delicious but the mixed fruit crepe cake is on average, I will rate five for the strawberry cake. I came on Sunday afternoon, arrived at 12:50 PM and there was already a line, mostly locals. By the time I finished and left, the line had already stretched to the first floor. Better to come early.

I had the shine muscat and jeju tangerine crepe cake and the iced fig latte. Both were very delicious and not too sweet! I do recommend coming when they open so your wait isn't too long as the place isn't too big but totally worth it!
