Food 1/5
Ambiance 4/5
Superb cute Korean cafe with lovely interior design. Great place to sit and chat. I also did not have high expectations already when reading about other ppls exp and it was as expected, 'dessert taste old' that's the main takeaway
Prices are a little pricey for what you get for something not good too
Just got the black sesame roll cake and it was just bad. Sponge texture was kind of part mochi like, a little tough, black sesame cream a little too strong and a little on the sweeter end

The space is beautiful but the items offered are just ok. It doesn't justify the cost of the items, especially the food. The two things I got cost about $20? They may say the reason is because of the space/rent/etc, but if many of the customers are complaining about it, I think it's worth looking into what you can do instead of continuously giving that as the reason.
Secondly, the five star ratings. Many are due to the fact they give customers a free small item in exchange for a five star review. An item nearly $6 for free and all I have to do is give a 5 star review, I can see why people would do it.
All in all, I wouldn't come back. The treats are cute and different but not worth the trip and the bill. The drinks offered aren't anything special to make me want to come back either. Don't trust social media and hype is all I can say lol

The joo-ak are great - crisp on the outside & chewy on the inside, with a good sweetness level. Both the yuk-gwa and the oreo petite rice cake both had disappointing textures - the former is very stiff and dense while the latter was very dry and crumbly
The space is beautiful, with ample seating on two levels. Service is fast, but can be a bit disorganized - tried to gave me the wrong order a few times

The Koreans have finally brought their killer cafe game full on to NYC! This place is a great example of the stellar Korean cafe culture with beautiful atmosphere, delicious and adorable sweets and tasty tea. Having a tall handsome guy man the counter also shows how well they know their clientele. Nice job! Other reviews about the food might be they are not used to the texture of traditional Korean desserts which I love by the way.

It should be always more than a coffee and a pastry together. From their rice cakes, joo-ak, mochi and yak gwa. A lot of choices. That Korean vibe really be hitting different. And bonus is that their desserts aren’t that really sweet just the right amount of sweetness.
I can’t drink coffee so I had strawberry latte with almond milk and we ordered some jasmine tea to have it partnered with all the dessert we had ordered and tried.
They have a spacious area, there are more seats at the 2nd floor and the ambiance was really nice having those dessert and a good company would be a perfect place to have that talk and some catching up with friends.
Also very easy to locate, in the middle of everything. Might wanna try and stop by after a long walk? Certainly a good spot.

Great traditional Korean desserts. Not decadent, but just the right amount of sweetness. If you have a real sweet tooth this place might not be the place for you. Everything is so fresh and delectable!

This dessert café is super cute. Every dessert we tried was not just beautifully presented but genuinely tasty. A perfect spot for a sweet treat or a chill afternoon catch-up.

I recently visited Seoul Sweets in Ktown and had such a lovely experience! The café just opened, and the interior is cozy, clean, and very welcoming. There are plenty of seats, which makes it a great spot to relax or catch up with friends.
They offer a wide variety of drinks and desserts, including traditional Korean sweets. I ordered a chamomile tea and a green tea—both were beautifully blended and soothing. I also tried Yak-Gwa, a traditional Korean dessert, which paired perfectly with the tea. They also had a gluten-free cake that was just the right amount of sweetness.
Overall, I really enjoyed the vibe and the flavors. It’s a great new addition to Ktown, especially if you’re looking for a relaxing spot with authentic Korean treats.
