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!

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 🥹🫶🏼

WOW. I can’t even put into words how good this place was! The staff were super friendly, and the shop itself was clean, cozy, and so inviting. But the real highlight? The sweet treats. I finally got to try the honey fig bingsu I’d been eyeing for days — and it did not disappoint. The ice was incredibly smooth and creamy, almost like snow that melts perfectly in your mouth. It’s topped with fresh, juicy figs — honestly the best I’ve ever had. I think I read somewhere that they hand-pick them daily? Not sure if that’s true, but whatever they’re doing, they need to keep it up! If you’re looking for a delicious treat, this is absolutely the place to go. They have cakes too, but honestly, the real star of the show is the bingsu.

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.

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.

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.

have been there once with 2 hrs++ waiting ar the end popular strawberry cake is sold out! I ordered Strawberry Bugsu, taste goood not too sweet but not mucb worth waiting for 2 hrs.

This is such a cute place with real fruit as decor. It is definitely on the pricier end and there is a wait, but the desserts are really good! The fruits are sweet and really juicy. Highkey recommend giving this place a try to fruit lovers who also like desserts.
