Snowday Bingsu Cafe

The last time I had Bingsu was back in high school a few years ago, and the memory of its taste randomly came to mind. I wanted to try it again so I came here as it looks like the best option with a ton of flavours. I got the cheesecake, loved the cheesecake cubes and the syrupy drizzle topping. I don’t know why they put nuts on it should’ve been like strawberries instead since that’s how cheesecakes go you know. This was 18 dollars for the large size which is quite expensive considering it is simply shaved ice/frozen milk with toppings. Felt a little sick after but that was probably thanks to the whole Malibu bottle I finished. Place was fully packed so had to eat on trunk of the fully bolt on Q50. Will likely come back again.

20250813 Update: We tried the Mango Bingsu today and it is super delicious. I think it is the best out of other varieties as the toppings & ice ratio is good. 2025: Nice Korean dessert in Toronto. The Grape Bingsu is dedicated. The Coffee Bingsu tastes delicious with mochi and crunchy nuts, topped with caramel and chocolatey sauce. The tiramisu one looks appealing and I understand the right ingredients are not stable to source in Toronto. After dinner time, it is crowded and the 2 chefs in the kitchen are doing their best to create the masterpieces for the customers. The shaved ice amazingly did not melt quickly. I imagined the Mango Bingsu and Green Tea Bingsu were also delicious.

The shaved ice was a bit disappointing. The mango tasted like it had been frozen, cold and sour. It really needs mango sauce to bring it together (Which they don’t offer) The kinako one was better, but the warabi mochi was too firm for my taste and didn’t go well with the ice. Also, the portion of kinako could be more generous - the bottom was just plain ice with no flavor. That said, the service was lovely, super helpful and friendly staff!

Had the tiramisu Bingsu with a salted caramel croffle. Bingsu is an amazing dessert considering that the flavour is a topping on a large bed of ice. Enticing plating with a slice of tiramisu places like a cherry on top. It comes with a shot of espresso. I didn't know you had to mix it all at first but after a few minutes of mixing the true flavours came out. Will bring friends next time

The grape shaved ice is so refreshing and good. I also got the sesame and the mochi in it adds a great texture and chew. Great light dessert after a heavy meal.

When we came in they were full so we had to wait for a table to open up before they started working on our order. The real fruit teas have real fruit chunks or pieces in them and they are refreshing on a hot day. The grapefruit was fairly sour when I had the chunks but rather light when only sipping the liquid. The green tea bingsu was better than I expected, no real complaints.

The coffee Bingsu was delicious. I loved that it wasn't too sweet, the sauces and the cereal on top was just perfect for the balance of taste. I shared a small size bingsu with one more person, and we ate it in about 5min. Definitely worth stopping by here!

They serve authentic korean bingsus. I’ve been longing for some good bingsu, as it’s hard to find a place that uses good ingredients, not just trying to make it look good on a budget. I really enjoyed the bingsus I ordered, as well as the croffle (not in the picture). It was closer to closing hour and quite busy when I visited, but they were super friendly.
