Sweet Moment - New York City

Fun vibes walking in, lots of table space to sit but you'll have to share when it comes to the larger tables. Plenty of desserts to be found in the desert book. And I was totally admiring the K-Pop wall of the recent and popular artists featured by fan pics. This visit I had the black sesame shaved ice and the matcha with strawberries over a waffle. Both desserts were delicious and a bit pricey but it was good. Service was mostly at the counter and they were very pleasant at that. Note store hours as they are not open late. Best time to go is in the afternoon or early evening before close.

The bingsoo is so adorable and so delicious. I think the cheesecake flavors are the winners. I also liked the honeydew bingsoo because it was so refreshing. I would pass on the peach latte— too sweet and tastes artificial. Just come here for the bingsoo! It’s pricey but somehow worth it too!

While refreshing on a hot summer day, ultimately the bingsoo is overdressed—more toppings than ice, and it got too sugary at the bottom of the cup. The texture of the ice is too soft and smooth that it’s almost indistinguishable from the scoop of ice cream.It’s also really difficult to eat; a bowl is necessary for this many toppings. In the case of the watermelon flavor, I had to eat a good chunk of the fruit and ice cream before I could even get started on the ice. Ideally I can easily alternate and mix up the two.

We came here a lot cause we like their food. But I feel like they are being sneaky now. Today we came and ordered large melon shaved ice as usual and they were like: we don’t have large but we have small. I asked isn’t that just the same thing and the waiter said: you see this large one takes a lot more stuff than the small one, it’s almost 4 times of the small one. (But the large one is only 2x the price of the small one? . So you trying to get me less stuff with me paying more money ?????? That’s just wired why don’t you just raise the price?

The food and desserts are overpriced, but this is still a cute cafe to chill in if you 're in the area. I tried the caramel bingsoo and the actual shaved ice part of the dessert didn 't have any caramel flavor in it, only the ice cream scoop on top had flavor. I did still enjoy it overall, but that is definitely something to consider. The staff are very nice and friendly.
