A dainty little cafe in upstairs myeongdong market popular for their shaved ice binsoo and other desserts. He place is split into 2 mezzanines and is quite comfortable and cozy (although I hit my head standing up). Quite a poplar place as there aren't many dessert cafes around. The strawberry, melon and Mango binsoo are a must try however, be …

Don’t be misled by the entrance: this cafe was cute, cozy, and delicious. Staff were friendly upon arrival and seated us right away. We ordered the seasonal melon bingsu and it was wonderful. The ice itself had a sweet, milky flavour. There is also free wifi with the password given on the receipt. Would recommend!

A delicious dessert place that serves both bingsoo and other types of desserts. The staff are exceedingly friendly with limited English but were super helpful and kind.

The best bingsoo in korea. The service is top notch, the taste is tasteful to the maximum limit. The atmosphere is homy yet warm

Best bingsu in Korea. The ice was so light and fluffy and the mango was fresh and flavourful. The milk ice cream was creamy and tasted so delicious and milky - not the cheap vanilla flavour. Matcha was also good but not our favourite (ice cream tasted a little medicinal) Staff friendly.

Amazing bingsu! Very smooth, creamy and flavorful. Need to share as portion is huge, very generous toppings, I barely can finish half the cherries
