July 17, 2024 - Mango Bingsu & Injeolmi Bingsu
Ann B.

July 17, 2024 - I haven't been here in so long! It's such a cute little dessert shop. We ordered Mango Bingsu & Injeolmi Bingsu, both were really good. I really liked the red bean on the Injeolmi Bingsu. The service was very good.

Dear & Fri is a lovely Korean style dessert cafe, the cafe is lovely and decorative. We tried three favour of Bingsu out of almost 20 different Bingsu! I love all of them, the ice based are so nice and they are shaved with favour milk. It tastes more natural and rich layers. There are some toppings insides the ice like the tapioca, pudding or some soybean mochi. It depends of which favour you have ordered. Staffs are nice and make the order very efficient, it is a wonderful place for desserts!

Thai milk tea bingsu was okay but was really difficult to eat - it just wants to fall over onto the plate. Everything else was either extremely sweet or bland

Mango bingsu

Scroll down for the TLDR version. Pro tip: Only Cash or Debit Card Accepted Located at midland and finch, this is located at the heart of many boba and food spots. Dear & Fro has cute ambiance and lighting but it's a small place with limited seating so seats can fill up fast. It's more of a eat and go type of place rather than one you linger around in. Service was good and if you dine in they give you a buzzer so you can grab a seat and then present it when your order is ready. I got the the mango bingsu today and I really enjoyed it. The mango was lightly drizzled with some mango syrup and the bingsu itself was creamy. The texture was also amazing as the shaved ice was really refined so it made for a great mouth feel when it melted in your mouth. I've also had other flavours such as their blueberry bingsu in the past and it did not disappoint as well. Overall the bingsu itself is a 10/10 but I only give this place a four as I don't like that the only options for payment are cash and debit nor do they offer ATM machine for clients. I'm also not the biggest fan of their seating arrangement. However if I'm looking for a refreshing and light dessert I would definitely come back to this place. TLDR: Cash and debit only place. Limited seating. Good bingsu and great refined texture for the ice.

Stopped by after munching across the parking lot at Linh Anh. This place serves dessert very similar to Cups. It was packed when we opened the door. Luckily we were getting takeout. None of us ever really ordered bingsu for takeout but we decided to give it a try for the first time cuz "oh what the hell" right"? They have recently introduced a bunch of new bingsu flavours and I was tempted to try the thai milk team bingsu, but ulitmately decided to get a tried and true mango bingsu (too classic). My friends ordered some as well. We were all pleasantly surprised at the presentation from a takeout perspective. They even added a bag of ice into the takeout bag to keep the bingsu nice and cold! As far as taste goes, it was on point. Does it beat Cups? Maybe half a tier below Cups (because of the absolutely massive portion size at Cups; one order at Cups is definitely serving 2+ ppl). I'm definitely coming back to try the thai milk tea bingsu sometime though. Cute spot, very busy.

Clean up on Aisle 2 please Milk tea flavour shaved iced!! Ice has strong milk tea flavour and topped with whip cream Many unique flavours to choose from Service was quick and easy not much service needed.

Flaky shaved ice!

A really cute spot for desserts and refreshments! We dropped by after dinner this holiday season, and it was completely empty (understandably). We had the place to ourselves! After vaccination and ID checks, we were allowed to sit down and order. We got the Matcha Red Bean and Mango Bingsu. The shaved ice came in really adorable bowls, perfectly rounded mounts topped with the shop logo. Amazing for photos! The ice was light and refreshing, the flavor natural and not too sweet. The cut mango was generous and fresh, although I didn't enjoy the mango ice cream as much, as the flavor was somewhat artificial. The portion size was adequate, and little styrofoam bowls were available for sharing. A nice spot for hangout, particular for summer!

Came here with a friend a few nights ago. Was craving bingsu, specifically injeolmi. I usually go to CUPS, but we were close by to Dear and Fro. Amazing tastes, got the injeolmi of course! lol It came with Red bean paste which elevated the overall taste of the dessert. My friend got the strawberry and it was super refreshing and sweet. Overall impression Distribution of bingsu ingredients: 8/10 they did two laying of condense milk with the soy bean powder and red bean paste/mochi (perfect softness) on top. So the the top is heavy and when you did your spoon towards the bottom there is another layer of condense milk. I'm happy to see that cause some places just pour the ingredients at the top and by the time you hit the bottom you are just eating ice. This is not the case Snow texture: 7/10 a little bit on the ice side... similiar to packing snow after it rains lol. I prefer the light snow texture that CUP serves up. lol just a preference. Would come by for other items on menu. They have vietnamese thai bingsu, earl grey bingsu, milk tea bingsu and other awesome flavours to choose from.

Aesthetic & cozy place for Korean bingsu! My Korean best friend recommended this place for our hangout. We went around 4PM and it was pretty empty-which was perfect for us since we wanted to catch up & talk & could choose our seats anywhere. The interior is decorated adorably & aesthetically! The most picturesque place imo would be in the back where the plant wall is w/ a neon sign that says treat yo self Between the 3 of us we ordered 2 of their most recommended bingsu's; the early grey & the injeolmi which is like mochi covered in soy bean powder. The texture of the bingsu is my fav!! It's like snow and melts on your tongue. I would say that the injeolmi was a little too frozen vs. the early grey which had the perfect texture. I also preferred the early grey more because of the slightly salted cheese topping which was creamy and worked great with the earl grey. The boba was also super Q which was good Overall I would def come back w/ friends. As we were leaving it started to get more crowded. It's a cozy place so I can see it filling up quickly

The two women working here were friendly and worked very quickly and efficiently. The bingsu was delicious! Not too sweet, and the matcha was so flavorful. The location has a good amount of seating and there are a couple good spots for photos, if you like taking food photos!

Mango bingsu
Fatima V.

Order: Mango Binsu Price: 10.95 + tax Portion: decent-sized They are taking great precautions due to covid. Only letting one group in the store at a time and making others wait outside. They took down phone numbers to call when the order was ready so definitely efficient. The staff were very kind and gave us ice to keep the bingsu's cool when they heard we were planning on having a picnic. Genuinely caring and helpful staff. My only issue was that the bingsu was too overpriced for the taste. It was quite simple and basic. I've definitely had better. It really just tasted like milk and mangoes. I prefer mine with the cereal bits and they didn't have that. Overall, decent place but comes down to personal preference.

strawberry bingsu and mango bingsu
Tiffany C.

both the strawberry and mango bingsu were creamy and infused with the flavours of each fruit, which we loved. the fresh fruits that were topped off on each bingsu helped enhance the flavouring of the fluffy shaved ice and sauce more. dear fro is definitely one of our go to bingsu places in the area!

I was delighted that I was finally visiting after seeing so many great photos online. When entering there's seating along either wall with the seating on the right on a platform with a fake tree to add ambiance. The seating on the left is broken up by a self serve water station and the section at the end is at a hightop table. You order and pay at the counter and take a buzzer back with you. Once it starts buzzing take it back to the counter to collect your order. The armchair type seating at the front of the restaurant could use a cleaning. There's plenty of stains all over the seat covers and I noticed that the tv playing a videos of the offerings was quite dusty. My friend was hankering for sustenance and not just dessert. She got the Korean style army mini hotpot and says that it was good but spicy! The daily bingsu specials are 50% off and Sunday was matcha. It was amazing to share for that price. There was a strong matcha flavour in the ice cream and the shaved ice. It was disappointing though that there wasn't anything layered in the shaved ice. At other restaurants there's sweetened condensed milk and maybe some nuts or red bean. Nonetheless we enjoyed the food and will be back to try other items.

Hanbingo - Blueberry and mango cheesecake bingsu cup

So the bear itself in the affogato was a solid icy chunk of milk (coz we chose the milk flavour) that just frozen. We added the affogato on top of it and while it looked aesthetic, the dessert didn't make sense at all. We were unable to break the frozen chunk or be able to mix it with the coffee and the coffee mixed with that frozen chunk submerged tasted really bad. Paying $16 for that wasn't worth it at all. The bingsu was good though. We got the mango bingsu bowl and it came loaded with mangoes and a marshmallow and an oreo cookie to make it look pretty! I don't think I'd come back to try anything else here. Was a little disappointed.

Holy Choco - Sushi Crepe (7 pieces, $16.95)

One of the only places to get Late-Night dessert! Holy Choco stays open till 4 AM which means you…read morecan satisfy your sweet tooth at (almost) any hour of the day Their menu is HUGE and unfortunately has some steep pricing, but the food quality is excellent. Delicious desserts, waffles ice cream, smoothies, and more. We ordered: Medium Mango Smoothie - $7.95 Simple Pleasures Waffle - $15.50 The waffle was light and fluffy and the toppings of fruit and chocolate were a great combination. I requested to be lighter on the chocolate but there was still a LOT of chocolate on our waffle. The mango smoothie was refreshing and sweet. I started going to Holy Choco when they first opened and their service was really good from some of the owner. Super attentive and caring staff. Unfortunately, it's since gone downhill since they've hired new staff and we had a number of small problems when visiting this time (dirty tables, dirty cutlery, requested if our food could be put in to go containers because they didn't want to do dishes, unfriendly, etc.) I hope they improve upon these staffing issues soon. Their seating area is good for friends and groups to loiter. Also, if you plan on bringing a laptop, they have MANY OUTLETS!!

Holy heck this dessert spot by Wellington Station was amazing…read more Highly recommend the dessert wheel ("Fondue for 2-3" $29.99). We chose dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and Nutella. For items: we chose strawberry, banana, halal marshmallow, waffle bites, brownie bites, and Oreo with a round of cappuccino's ($5.50 each). The interior is nicely decorated with a cute angel photo op in the back, and window bar seats and couches to choose from. Great spot for 2-4 people. The only criticism I could have was it took a while to get our order. So, it's not one of those places you can be dipping into expecting to be done in 20mins! We stayed for nearly 3 hours and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.

Kream Dessert - earl grey spanner

Kream Dessert

(55 reviews)

Downtown Core

I stopped by Kream after seeing all the hype on Instagram about the famous Korean "Dubai…read morechocolate." When I saw the price was $9.90 per chocolate, I was honestly a little surprised, bc it's sold under 7 per chocolate in Korea. But they were running a promotion until the 15th -- 5 for $30 -- which made it much more reasonable. I've never had the original version sold in Korea, so I can't compare it directly, but from what I've seen and heard, it seems pretty similar to what's trending there. Korean reviews are overwhelmingly positive, and people say it tastes just like the viral version. The texture is definitely chewy, just like the name suggests, and it's very sweet. Personally, it was a bit too sweet for my taste, but that's just my preference. That being said, I gave some as gifts and they absolutely loved it. So if you enjoy rich, sweet desserts -- or you're looking for something trendy and fun to share -- this would be a great choice. The shop itself is small and cozy, but very welcoming. The staff were friendly and made the experience pleasant. Overall, even though it's not exactly my personal favorite flavor-wise, I can understand the hype. It's a fun treat to try at least once, especially if you've been curious about the viral Korean Dubai chocolate trend. I'd recommend stopping by and taking advantage of the promo while it lasts!

Kream is a really solid dessert stop. Everything looks freshly baked and beautifully presented, and…read morethe flavours live up to it. The cube cakes are rich without being overly sweet, and you can tell care went into both texture and balance. They're also filled generously with so much cream! Prices are fair for the quality, especially given how unique some of the flavors are. Great spot if you're craving something a bit more refined than your typical bakery dessert.
