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!
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
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!
Honestly, I usually try to avoid this plaza at night because we all know how crazy the parking gets. And when it's like -20 outside, I don't wanna be parking in the plaza behind and walking over. BUT... for my cousin visiting from out of town, I'll suck it up this time. It was p worth it. haha. We ordered the mango bingsu and despite it being freezing cold outside, it was yummy! The shaved ice is flavoured so you're not just eating chunks of ice cube... it's actually quite creamy. They're also really generous with the fresh mango (refer to Figure 2). We also got the seasme + nuts toast thing. Holy crap, it's good BUT it's also an entire loaf of bread. Hope you're hungry LOL. It's just warm enough that the ice cream melts a bit and seeps into the crispy toast bites. The candied nuts complement it very well too. Drinks (like bubble tea) were nothing outstanding. Stick with the jugs of water they have on the side. More of a self-serve fast food place... Order at the counter and once your buzzer rings, you go up to the front to pick up your order. This place gets pretty busy at night so finding a parking spot and a free table in itself is a struggle. A dessert in which it is a meal itself. How on earth do people eat this after dinner?! I will totally return again, but it will have to be on a half-empty stomach.
I was really excited to give this bingsu place a try. The ambiance and environment is great for friends to hang out and talk. The taste of the bingsu is mediocre. Most of the flavours were on top and once you get to the middle of the bingsu there is not enough taste because they did not put enough ingredient in the middle for the flavour to stay consistent from top to bottom. The Oreo strawberries was bad, the strawberries have no taste and the Oreo layer did not taste like Oreo at all. The ice cream was the only tasty element in the bingsu. The Injeomi bingsu is also lacking almonds, there was only a few piece. I feel like they skim out on the ingredients. If they can be more generous with the topping, My rating probably would change. Snow time is definitely better. read more
We decided to come try this cute little dessert shop out as the weather was really hot. We were craving for something cold and were hungry at the same time. Going inside, the shop is decorated with some seats and a very nicely decorated couch area by the window (perfect for photos). They give you a menu where you'd choose whatever seat you want, and once you decided on your choices, you go up to the cashier. We came around 4pm on Saturday which wasn't busy. Overall the food did not take too long to arrive (15 mins?) as the Bingsu is made on the spot. - Strawberry Oreo Bingsu ($9.95): wow, it was very creamy overall. The Oreo bits were generously all over, so every bite had a definite oreo taste to it. The strawberry ice cream was equally as tasty and creamy as well. I loved how they placed two mini Oreo cookies on it to make it look like Mickey. Everything went well together. -Mini Hot Pot ($8.95): Honestly, although it came with some seafood pieces, I really didn't think it was worth the price. In a nutshell: it was spicy instant noodles with a few pieces of seafood in a clay pot. It didn't taste bad, but really not worth it; maybe for the gram. Nonetheless, i would come back in the future to try their other desserts and Bingsu. read more

Cute spot to hang out with friends and share an icey treat! Their flavour combinations are great and there's a lot to choose from on the menu. My favourite was the mango bingsu . Aesthetics are great, I'm in love with the plant wall read more

* Blueberry Bingsu * Highly recommended ! I was very impressed with their creamy milk shaved ice, it was made perfectly. It was very frosty and cold enough to the very last bite compare to other Bingsu places. It has the smooth and creamy texture, very flavourful with strawberry ice cream and generous amount of fresh blueberries and strawberries. I can't wait to try the rest of their Bingsu collections ! read more

Cute place for bingsu! Quite a bit of seating and great place to enjoy bingsu with friends. Matcha Cheese Jelly Bingsu (Recommended to anyone who LOVES matcha ice cream) -- The Matcha cheese jelly bingsu is matcha milk shaved ice topped with matcha ice cream and matcha cheese jelly. The shaved ice was very fluffy and melted as soon as it reached my mouth. At times it was hard to distinguish if I was eating the ice cream or the shaved ice because they tasted so similar - a mild matcha ice cream. The matcha cheese had the texture of tofu and tasted a bit like cream cheese and matcha. While I enjoyed the matcha cheese jelly bingsu, it was a bit one-dimensional for me and would have preferred some non-matcha toppings or a stronger matcha ice cream to add more complexity. I recommend Dear & Fro but would probably try a different flavour next time. read more

Great spot if you're craving Korean shaved ice - aka bingsu! My favorite flavor would have to be either matcha or oreo cheesecake. The texture of their bingsu is light and fluffy with a slight hint of flavor but not too sweet. I also highly recommend the honey almond toast! It comes with a scoop each of matcha and black sesame ice cream. The contrast of the cold ice cream paired with the warm, crispy, and fluffy toast is amazing! I've been to Snow Time which is right across from here and I can't really choose a winner - both are pretty good and have their own pros and cons. I think the portions here are a bit smaller though. read more

This 1-star review is strictly for the "Little Miss Attitude" (Asian girl with the bob chin-length black hair) that worked the register on July 4th, 2019 @ 4:32pm. Not sure what was her problem but this is how our encounter occurred: Me: "Hi.." (smiling)! Her: (Ignores me) Me: (points to menu) Could I get the chocolate.. Her: "We don't have that!" (with an attitude and still not looking at me) Me: "Err...okay, then can I have the Mango Bingsu then?" Her: (takes my money...gives me back change w/out even a "thank you", still no eye contact.) Me: (takes my change) "You're welcome!" (Shit, she might add something "special" in my food but the New Yorker in me couldn't hold back the snarky attitude...) We did came in as a big group (7 ppl) so maybe that pissed her off or something. While the drinks/food was good, she takes the cake on killing the stereotype that Canadians are friendly. Oh btw, Miss Attitude also claimed she didn't speak Chinese (ironically, in broken English) when a person from my party asked her for some extra bowls, then later heard her yelling to the other staff with fading pink braids that the teapot is full, in perfect Mandarin. Wtf. read more

Tried this place out and I would say if you're coming in a group in the evening, you're most likely waiting for a table. You order your food then wait to pick it up when it's ready. The decor inside is nice and is a good place to hang out and meet with friends for dessert! Overall I wouldn't say it's my favourite bingsoo place, but it was still tasty. Would probably come back to try out the litchi infused tea next time. read more

Black Chocolate Cake Bingsu . Taste : 9/10 Price : $12.95 + tax Service : 8.5/10 Worth it: 8.5/10 . Having tried many bingsu bowls throughout my foodie journey, I've got to say- Dear & Fro's is one of my favourites. The bingsu I ordered had an incredible aesthetic and was very filling. On the inside of the shaved ice, there were rice crispy pieces and blocks of chocolate cake. Those fillings made the overall dessert to be a very satisfying experience, as there were different flavours and textures to experience. . In terms of service, the cashier was very patient and helpful with my friends and I choosing our orders. read more
I only recently found out what bingsu is - Korean shaved ice (milk) dessert. A friend had recently suggested this place because it was "hot and new" but we ended up at another place nearby on that occasion. I had an opportunity to introduce an out of town friend my new discovery so it was a good chance to try this place. We must have gotten there at just the right time to find a parking spot and get a table. The crowd came in right after us and there was a long lineup for most of the time that we were there. The decor is very nice but we found the seating a little cramped. The parking lot is terrible. I ordered a mango bingsu and my friend ordered a waffle with mango and strawberries. It took a while for our order to be prepared but it was worth the wait. At $23.54 (with tip), however, it wasn't exactly cheap. And there's no table service. Nice ambiance, good food, long wait times, poor parking, high prices. You decide. read more
Yummy Late night dessert time! It's nice to find a nice place that opens late to meet up with friends for some dessert and drinks! Tried their classic mochi bingsu. Apparently their shaved ice are made with milk instead water. Other places are usually made with water. Also tried the litchi infused tea which was amazingly refreshing even on a cool fall night! Can't wait to try their other bingsu flavours and tea next time! read more

Dear Fro is one of those gram spots that you must visit if you love taking aesthetic photos. They offer a wide selection of bingsu, drinks, and snacks, making it a great spot to hang out with friends or family after a long day. We ordered their strawberry bingsu and it was delicious; portion sizes weren't too big and it was perfect for two people. We also ordered the cheesy rice cakes (which I didn't get a picture of) but unfortunately it wasn't that good due to the lack of flavour. I would recommend coming here more for the desserts instead. There's a decent amount of seating but it does get packed on weekends. Their iconic spot is the Treat Yo Self neon sign against a tropical forest backdrop is stunning! Again, great spot to capture a photo read more

YOU WANT SOMEWHAT NOT REALLY HEALTHY DESSERT? DEAR FRO GOT YOU COVERED. First off; be forewarned, the parking lot is atrocious here. Mixing bubble tea places and expensive cars = me doing a 10 point turn. If you can take the drive, I would highly recommend stopping for a visit here. It's in the corner of the plaza and has really cute decor. You do seat yourself and after fighting some other people, me and my boyfriend got a nice cozy spot beside the ordering station. There's quite a bit of selection too, but I ultimately decided on the Oreo Cheesecake Bingsu. You order this at the front and they give you a high-tech device that will beep obnoxiously until you finally surrender it to the front in exchange for your delicious Bingsu. When we got it, thank goodness we bought only one to share. The portion is HUGE (please see attached). This was definitely enough for me and my boyfriend. What I like about this place is that even the shaved ice (by itself) is delicious. Some other Bingsu places would skimp on the toppings too, but not this place, not today! The price is also pretty reasonable, only $10, too. My Asian broke self was quite happy. All in all, highly recommend. The only reason why I took off a star is because it's INCREDIBLY busy when we went, so we did have to wait a while before we got a seat. Granted we did go at 9:00 on a Sunday night, so you might have a better time during the day! read more
Came here on a Saturday evening and it was packed! Love the interior and decorations of this place, it can feel a little cramped though. Our group of 6 ordered a few bingsu to share. We got the the two different injeolmi and the strawberry. Both were really good. I like how fluffy and milky the bingsu was, which is a bit different that other places I've tried. Would come here again to try other flavors. read more

The seating area is very quaint and cozy, perfect for a date or catchup with friends. We tried the thai tea flavoured bingsu. The taste was very light and came with whipped cream on top and tapioca on the side. Could use more tapioca and a stronger taste. Also ordered cheese corn lol and there was way too much mayo but it's satisfied my craving. read more
I think this place has gotten better every time I've come. Last night was my third visit over a period of time. I've noticed that each time there's been new items added to their menu or exclusive limited time only featured items going on... they keep you enticed! I came here with 2 other friends and we ordered 2 bingsoo's to share amongst the 3 of us. We ended up getting the Oreo cheesecake and the matcha bingsoo. First, the Oreo cheesecake was a larger size than most of the bowls... I'd say this one is meant for sharing. The bowl is split into half Oreo and half graham cracker crumbs. There's also syrups in them, mini oreo cookies on the sides, and a mousse-like cheesecake piece at the top. I like both Oreo and cheesecake, and thought it was a good combination. The matcha bingsoo we ordered was the one without red bean. It had a scoop of matcha ice cream at the top and foamy matcha cheese cubes around it. There were also some mochi pieces, which I felt was a little on the sparse side. They were both very well made and yummy but personally, I preferred the matcha over the Oreo cheesecake. The Oreo cheesecake got a little tiring for me after a while, while matcha, for me atleast, is a taste that never gets too repetitive. But you def have to be a matcha lover to enjoy it, because it is pretty overwhelmingly just matcha central. The environment here is really nice, with super aesthetic decor! It is a smaller seating space though so you may have trouble finding seats at busy periods. It is more of a help yourself style, where you order at the front and go up to get your tray when your buzzer goes off. They have a water station with cups by the front where you help yourself. My preference used to be for SnowTime but now I like them both equally. I've come to view them as less direct competitors now because they offer some different unique items and environments... different experiences! Will be back when my bingsoo cravings resurface :) read more
Dear & Fro will always be my favourite when it comes to Bingsu! Believe it or not, they actually have this hot rice cake dish that's amazing as well (not dessert), the cheese will stretch reaaaaaally long. Their portions are on the smaller side, but it's presented so quickly and nicely, and to be honest, just enough to be able to enjoy it right to the very end. It's a self seated restaurant, where you order up front, and they give you a mini buzzer (super cute btw). Parking in this plaza can get quite crammed, especially at night time. I absolutely love this place, and if you like taking photos, they've got a neat wall background at the back of the restaurant! read more

One of the best bingsu places I've ever been to! The fruits they use on their products are all fresh real fruits. Portions are big and worth the money. The staff at Dear & fro are so welcoming the moment you step inside. They take your order and you're free to sit anywhere you like. They give you a pager while you wait at your table until it buzzes and you pick up the order. All the items on their menu always comes out just like the picture. Definitely recommend this dessert cafe. Check it out :) read more

I have always ate bingsu at Snowtime so I decided to give Dear & Fro a try! Firstly, this place is SO beautiful inside! The renovation is very modern, spacious and very instagrammable. My brother and I ordered the Injeolmi Bingsu & the Matcha Cheese Jelly Bingsu. After trying the bingsu at Snowtime, the injeolmi Bingsu is much more creamier in taste and texture compared to Snow Time! My brother loved the Matcha Bingsu, it was not too sweet nor bitter. Good flavour for those who love matcha! As well, their Bingsu is in ceramic looking bowls Ate here for the first time and I would totally come back here again!! Not only is the bingsu really good, the atmosphere also makes the experience more enjoyable. It is very spacious, gorgeous and clean. The seats are also really comfy hehe read more

Love the decor inside, modern And minimalistic. You make the order at the front and pick up your own food and utensils. Although it was self serve the staff was nice and accommodating. I dont like red bean and opted for seasme ice cream instead and they said it would be fine to swap with no charge. The bingsu was so good , esp w the mochi bites in it and the sesame icecream. So refreshing, light & satisfying. Ill be back! read more
The drink was mediocre, the foam didn't have much taste to it. I literally came here because I love bingsu, the closest thing to the one in Taiwan I had. The consistency of the shaved ice was smooth and milky! The girl working was very rude and when I asked if I could adjust the sweetness and ice level she wasn't too responsive, luckily the drink wasn't too sweet. Go for the bingsu, skip the drink and go to another bubble tea place, there's so many other choice in the area! read more
Tried the Ink Oolong Milk Tea and I highly recommend it! For just a little over $5, you're looking at large bubble tea in a fairly durable cup (the latter doesn't matter as much for me, but hey! If you want to reuse it, it'll definitely hold up). The bubble tea wasn't too sweet and the tapioca was just right as well. For someone who doesn't normally get milk teas, I really enjoyed this one and would most definitely return to get another one! TIP: Bring debit/cash. They don't take credit cards! You order and pay at the cashier then receive a buzzer. They'll buzz you up once your order is ready to minimize traffic! read more
What a tasty and refreshing experience at Dear & Fro. Does this make me one of the cool kids now? Who doesn't love to go for dessert before dinner? I had a chance to visit Dear and Fro before heading out to dinner with a friend last night. Her comments about this great little place did nothing to perk my expectations. Truthfully, she described it as shaved ice ... so naturally I though snow cone, right? I was SOOOO wrong! Light, creamy, and Nothing like ice in any way! Specialized in Bingsu, snacks and drinks, the restaurant made creative frozen desserts that are made with ingredients that represents Korean culture. All of the desserts are hand-maded with natural ingredients and no artificial flavors are added, and only fresh milk and no water. Organic fruits are carefully selected to prepare our drinks. With about a dozen flavours to choose from, I took the safe route and choose a Bingsu dessert covered in strawberries and blueberries. A creamy ice cream like centre , covered in frost like ice cream shavings and fresh fruit. It looked large, however the cream is so incredibly light I wanted to ask for a second. The restaurant was In a large popular plaza of Asian eateries and stores and tucked in the corner so I had trouble finding it. Parking was a bit chaotic but do not let that intimidate you. I will defiantly be back to enjoy another flavour soon. read more

Came here the other day with my friend and I was very pleasantly surprised!! It's very nice inside, perfect for taking pictures and the food is pretty good too. I had the strawberry honey toast and it was really filling. I thought that it was only meant for one person but it's basically a loaf of bread cut into pieces so it's meant to be shared Definitely check this place out if you want some fancy dessert and maybe a new pic for your ig read more
Service - Standard service, you pay at the counter so you don't interact with them much but the little bit you do interact is nice. Food - Lots of desserts and bingsu! They taste good at first but for me it gets kind of bland and boring after the first half or so.... Price - The price is good, not too expensive but still not cheap either. Atmosphere - Comfy atmosphere, nice place for a mini date after dinner or just a casual place to eat and chill. read more
Got the mango Bingsoo! I really like the texture of the Bingsoo here. It has the texture of shaved chocolate, and tastes a lot more creamy and milky than other places. Since the shaved ice is thicker, it also takes longer to melt. The mango was no doubt very sweet as it's currently in season. It's also topped with mango ice cream too. You pay at the counter and they'll give you a buzzer. This is a great place to hangout and chat for hours! read more
Came here for the first time today and got their new summer item- the coconut grey bingsu! I was actually at Snow Time right across (used to love it there) only to be super disappointed, you can check my review on that. The total came to $13.50 for a pretty generous portion. The coconut grey comes with roasted toast, fresh mango, dried blueberries and coconut mochi and coconut sugar on the side. Definitely a very unique combination for a bingsu, love it! The only suggestion I have is making the toast bits smaller (maybe it's to keep the crunch factor though) or maybe even add some flavour in the toast. The toast is really bland after all. Anyways I really like the idea and they did a good job implementing it. Will be back to try their earl grey one next time! They also give u a stamp card- collect 8 for a free bingsu yessss haha. Atmosphere here is a bit more fancy, but as with other bingsu places, u order and pay and then they hand u a buzzer. You seat urself and they have water (I think) in a tea pot that u can self-serve. read more
Came here after work and it was pretty busy and packed at 9 pm, so there was a bit of a wait for a table to clear up to sit. Although there is seating, this place requires you to order up front and then return to your seat with a buzzer. After a while they will ring your buzzer and you go up to the front to get your order. I got the Injeolmi Bingsu to share with my friend and although it looks small, there is quite a bit of shaved iced in the bowl. I did find that compared to my friend who also ordered an Injeolmi Bingsu it seemed like they got a bit more toppings but it's fine. The toppings in the Injeolmi Bingsu were good I did like the red bean and the powder all around. The bottom actually has condensed milk making the bottom taste super sweet and yummy, overall this is decent place for shaved ice. read more
The stars are based foodwise. I've won an Instagram giveaway where I received 2 free bingsu. I ordered the Oreo bingsu and the Matcha cheese bingsu. It was my first time having a shaved ice dessert in Canada, and I definitely LOVED it. Foodwise: The shaved ice for both bingsus was perfectly shaved, so beautiful to the eyes and it literally melts in the mouth. People would usually think that it's too sweet just by looking at them, but the sugar level was on point. Although both were delicious, I found the matcha one a bit plain as everything was matcha (it was also my choice, so not their fault). The oreo bingsu had its top covered with crushed oreo cookies and something else that tasted a little peanuty. And on top of that was a piece of oreo cheesecake, surrounded by mini pieces of oreo. Personally, the Oreo bingsu is the winner of all bingsus at that place (although I only tried 2). On the downside is the price. An average bingsu is $9-$10, which I find a bit pricey. Also in the pictures the desserts look big, I thought that the size is sharable with a group of 3, 4 people, but when I saw it in person I was surprised that it's quite small (1 or 2 people). Will go back if/when I crave for bingsu as this is my first and only bingsu place i've been here. read more
Went here for a quick snack after my flight based on my cousin's recommendation. They serve a limited amount of Korean snacks and mainly desserts and drinks. I ordered some tteobokki but it took a long while to get and it was a bit too spicy for me to enjoy. The pineapple tea was okay. My cousin got some bingsu which I thought was pretty good, so I'd lean towards the desserts here! read more
The decor of this cafe is super cute! The service is kind of lacking (apathetic/dismissive cashiers who seem like they don't want to be there), but at least the drinks and desserts are good. We got peach tea with foam, Earl Grey milk tea shaved ice, Thai milk tea shaved ice. We liked how authentic the milk tea flavours were. read more
It is a very nice and cozy place. The plaza has lots of bubble teas shop and the all different kinds of restaurant. We went in in early afternoon and the place was packed. The decoration is very cute, with a fake cherry blossoms tree make the environment very cozy. We ordered Mochi Binsu and Mango Binsu. The Binsu is already flavoured. It tasted like vanilla ice cream and mango ice cream. It worth the drive. read more

Super fancy, well-decorated restaurant with some pretty cute fun desserts. Reasonably priced. The vanilla bingsu was flavourless and the black sesame seed ice cream barely tasted like black sesame seed and it was just a mini scoop on top. However the nut powder they place on top was tasty. Every day of the week they have 50% off of a different flavor. You can check it out at the cashier. The Honey Nut toast was huge. It was like a cake that could serve like 8 people. It tasted pretty cool though. The red bean sticky rice was also very good. It tasted like guava cheese/paste. Sweet and smooth. Just $5. read more
Delicious! Came here today and tried the Oreo Matcha Bingsu, Mochi Bingsu, and the Red Bean Sticky Rice Cake Toast. They were all well made and a fair portion for the price. The mochi was just chewy enough and paired well with the soybean powder and red bean. They gave a generous amount of Oreo crumbs for the Bingsu and topped it with a dollop of match ice cream. The toast was also surprisingly very good, since many places focused on snow ice or similar desserts can be lacking in other areas. It was filled with mochi, red bean and honey. The atmosphere is also quite comfortable and cozy with an Instagram picture worthy backdrop at the back of the store. Highly recommended! read more
Visited this place after we won two bingsu desserts during their Christmas Contest on Instagram. Pretty little place in a horrible-parking wise plaza. I really love the inside of the store! It was so chic and pretty! The seats were really comfy as well. The employees were all very nice as well. I thought the Bingsu was delicious. We got the Oreo Cheesecake and the Mango Bingsu. I really love how the mango is infused into the shaved ice. It was mango flavored shaved ice!! I really loved it! The oreo-cheesecake on the other hand was very simple. I felt that there was not enough "cheesecake" taste in the oreo cheesecake slice they put on top of the bingsu. The mini oreos and mochis were a great touch. Also, they decorated the mango bingsu with fresh mangos! The Bingsu was decorated very nicely and the employees were soooo efficient when it came to making sure the tables were clutter free and cleaned. I couldn't comment on the prices as I didn't have to pay for any. However, I did get a glimpse at the prices and felt they were a little steep. I don't know if I would pay 10-13 dollars for their portions. All in all, i loved it! Might be back if someone decides to treat me! #brokestudent. read more
Been here numerous times. I think it tastes better than snow time which is located in the same plaza. Creamy taste for the bingsu. I only really come for bingsu when they have promos because it's pretty pricey tbh. Full price is like 12$ plus tax and the portion is enough for only one person. But I love their mango coconut drink which I always go here just to get. Tastes amazing read more

Was lucky enough to try this place a couple of times before putting up a review. In terms of Bingsu, this place is ideal to try it out. As for the different flavours and variations that they do have, they are also worth trying. I've tried the traditional, strawberry, earl grey, and coconut milk flavoured Bingsu's that they have to offer, and so far I have no complaints about any of them. I would recommend this place to other people, and with regards to the overall setting and ambience this place has, you can expect a nice place for posting up photos on social media, and the music has its own quirky appeal to it too. I'm only giving it a 4/5 because every time I've visited, the tables were a bit sticky and the entrance kind of smelled funky; but looking past that it is definitely worth going to! read more

Ordered Oreo bobo bubble tea. There's nothing too special about the taste of the bubble tea. It's bubble tea with a layer of crushed Powder like Oreo on top. I got regular sugar and ice, which is too sweet for me. There are 5 or 6 bubble tea places in the immediate area, will continue trying other new places. read more
AMAZING! Dear Fro is my favourite bingsu café by far. The desserts are delicious, the café is renovated and well decorated, the desserts came quickly and the service was good! Most importantly, everything tastes great. We ordered the matcha bingsu and the mango toast. Both were amazing! The ice has a rich creamy matcha flavour rather than just condensed milk ice. Other cafés have ice that is lacking in flavour but this one really comes together nicely. The mango toast smells and tastes divine - the pieces of toast are pre-sliced and are toasted with butter. I really enjoyed my experience here, especially compared to Snow Time which is next door. You do need to order and pay at the counter before, but this is similar to many other cafés. Definitely coming back to try other items on the menu! read more
