    Cute bathroom decor!
    Vivian Z.

    I'm rarely in SJ but decided to ride with hubby to work today, and found this cafe a few minutes away! I wanted a cute and cozy spot to do some work, and this was exactly what I found. First thing I noticed and loved was that there were a ton of plants, and lots of decorations catered to anime, superhero's, and games. There were some arcade games which was cute, and a fish tank (that definitely needs to be cleaned). I came here because I noticed some cool latte flavors, like Pho and Miso??? Unfortunate I was too chicken to try it, so I ended up getting the black sesame latte (half sweet) due to popular reviews. Service was straight forward and quick, not too much interaction. I asked for wifi because I had zero reception and they gave me a tiny slip of paper with a code on it, which only worked for 1 device for a designated 2 hours. Weird but fine, the wifi worked well. My drink was decent as well, the sesame flavor wasn't as pronounced as I would have liked, but the latte art was beautiful! My hubby joined me during his lunch break and ordered a red velvet latte to go, and I liked that one better. Overall I had a good experience and found what I was hoping for, so I would come back!

    Came here on a weekday morning for a quick coffee pick up! Very cute store, not too crowded, clean and friendly staff. I got the cappuccino and was quite pleased with it. Coffee was very well made. I'd like to come in again to try some of their other specialty coffees

    Nice spot in Cupertino -- excellent coffee, modern relaxed vibe, and friendly staff. The pour-over and cold brew are both top-notch.

    Interesting coffee shop with many interesting coffee me up like miso latte and pho latte. The interior is unique with a lot of action figure, plant and old arcade machine. It has limited pastries choices. One worker is friendly. One Miso latte is interesting. It has saltiness but cannot taste the miso. I like the arcade machine. The price is reasonable.

    Black Sesame latte

    Update.... Today was a great visit!! I swung in to grab two lattes on my way to meet a friend for a hike and the worker was fantastic - chatty, friendly and super pleasant The shop was quiet at 815 on a foggy Sunday morning, would have been great to sit and read with my latte I asked for extra hot and it was perfect!!

    Red velvet latte
    Ankitha D.

    Came here on a Sunday afternoon with a friend to grab coffee. The ambiance inside is cool and inviting, with amazing decor around. I ordered the red velvet latte with oat milk, the barista ensured it wouldn't be too sweet, they made the drinks pretty quick and they tasted good! I was hoping to try some of their dessert but they seemed to have ran out of their bakery items by the time I made it. But I would still come back for the latte! Cute spot for a nice hang.

    Lavender Latte
    Kelsey S.

    I hadn't been here in years and decided to get a coffee since I was in the area. From what I had remembered the coffee was okay, but the owner/worker wasn't super friendly. I walked in and immediately recognized the worker and his attitude. In the short 5 minutes I was there, he was rude to two different people. He also doesn't bother greeting or thanking his customers. Anyways, I ordered an iced lavender latte and it was... okay. Flavor was decent but the drink was tiny for 7 dollars. Honestly, you can find better coffee and service elsewhere!

    Cute cafe with unique drink items! Located in a plaza so it was easy to find parking. The interior was cute, with an arcade game and some seating. Ordered the red bean matcha, red velvet latte, and hazelnut chocolate mousse. The matcha and red bean were light in flavor and the red velvet mainly had a coffee taste. The latte art was pretty. The mousse was good, but gets very chocolatey and sweet as you eat it. I liked the interior and decorations around! There were tables to sit by and a couch area.

    Black sesame latte was delicious with oat milk! Just one barista when I went on a weekday afternoon (I think it was the owner) and they whipped up my drink quickly. Heads up, they don't do personal cups. I usually bring my own to keep my hot drinks hot even when I dine in since I'm guilty of babysitting my drinks-but no biggie since my latte was so good I finished it up quicker than I normally would. Plenty of parking both in front of the shop and I think there's a garage. The vibes inside were very cozy today near the window as it drizzled. I liked the decor and took some moments to admire the walls of art and the huge plant near the door. I'd come back to try some other things.

    Cute little coffee shop with enough tables for you to work. They have a lot of Asian based flavored drinks, which was really cool. Got the black sesame latte and it was good. Only thing I didn't like was that they had horrible reception. They offered free wifi but it was only for one device, so I was connected on my laptop, but my phone was basically a brick.

    There's plenty of parking around and plenty of seating. Drinks are great. Highly recommended coming here. :) Heads up: If you're here to study, you are given a code upon drink purchase. It's for 2 hours and for 1 device only! Black Sesame Oat Milk Latte 5/5: Very good, not too sweet and strong sesame flavor. What really impressed me was that the oat milk was foamed quite well! The way cow milk vs oat milk is foams is slightly different and most of the time, the oat milk gets over foamed and ends up with lots of bubbles which disrupts the smooth texture of the latte. This cafe did a great job with the latte and I can't wait to try out more of their drinks! Service: Fast! Ambiance: This cafe is one of the few places left where they encourage you to lounge and chat. It's cozy with tons of places to sit and even more knick knacks to spot. And with drinks that are that fantastic, it's definitely a place to visit over and over again.

    yuzu matcha and breakfast sandwich
    Angel L.

    I got the yuzu matcha and breakfast sandwich! I liked the yuzu matcha a lot! Both flavors were present, and neither one overpowered the other. The sandwich was pretty decent, but nothing too special. There's a decent amount of seating and the playlist was great. It is a little expensive for the serving size, especially the tiny drink, but it was definitely worth trying.

    Are there outlets available for customers?

    Yes! But not a lot...

    When are the busy hours?

    I don't go during the weekdays. But it is decently busy in the afternoon and early evening on weekends.

    Are there lots of outlets?

    I believe there is an outlet in the couch area. There is one outlet at another corner where all the tables are with a power strip. I suggest bringing your own extension if possible too in case your seat is too far from the power strip.

    Is there a huge comfy couch in this coffe shop?

    Yes they do.

I ordered the Yumberry Yogurt Drink, Peach Gum Drink, and Grape Yogurt Drink. I got all of them at 30% sweetness, and they were still pretty sweet, so I'd recommend ordering them with even less sugar if you prefer drinks that aren't overly sweet. Even though they're always busy with orders, it wasn't crowded inside. I was able to find a seat since most people just grab their drinks and leave. The drinks are very fruit-forward and taste incredibly fresh and high quality. If you enjoy fruity drinks, this place is definitely worth trying. My favorite was the Yumberry Yogurt Drink because it was so unique--I've never had anything quite like it before. It reminded me a bit of a mulberry drink with a creamy yogurt twist, and I'd definitely order it again.

They have an impressive variety of drinks and desserts, and I especially love that their snow/bingsu comes in three different sizes (small, medium, large), making it perfect whether you're treating yourself or sharing with friends.

My only note is that I wish the layer on top was a bit thicker for a creamier texture. Even so, the quality and consistency keep me coming back.

It's also great for sharing a few different flavors with friends. On this visit, I ordered the Strawberry Mango Snow with extra condensed milk. Both were refreshing, flavorful, and not overly sweet. The fruit tasted fresh, and the extra condensed milk added the perfect amount of richness to every bite. Ordering was quick and convenient through the self-service kiosk, and our desserts were ready within just a few minutes. The process was smooth and efficient, making it an easy place to stop by for a quick treat. Another thing I appreciated was the spacious seating area. There was plenty of room to sit and chat, making it a great spot to catch up with friends over dessert. The toppings on the snow dessert were generous and complemented the shaved ice perfectly. Overall, if you're looking for a lighter, more manageable portion of bingsoo that still delivers on flavor, I would definitely recommend checking this place out. The desserts are delicious, the service is quick, and the atmosphere makes it a great place to relax and enjoy something sweet.

We walked into a clean, modern space with a casual café feel that works well for stopping by after a meal or meeting up with friends for something sweet. The shop focuses on creative variations of bingsu with toppings ranging from fruit to chocolate, matcha, and other dessert-inspired flavors, and the layout encourages lingering over a shared dessert rather than rushing through a quick stop. The biggest highlight is the texture of the shaved ice itself. The ice is extremely soft and light, melting quickly while still holding the flavors from the toppings and condensed milk. We ordered the Injeolmi Sulbing, which showcases the more traditional side with nutty flavors, and the combination of the fine ice, chewy rice cake, and nutty powder created a dessert that felt both refreshing and satisfying. The Tiramisu and Chocolate Brownie Sulbing turn it into a much more indulgent experience, with richer flavors that feel closer to a full dessert than a light treat. The presentation is impressive, with each bowl arriving looking carefully composed, and the layers of toppings are distributed well enough that you get a good mix in every spoonful. The portions are also a major part of the appeal. A single bingsu is easily shareable, making it a good choice for groups or anyone looking for a dessert to split after a meal. We found that sharing worked well, as the portion was generous enough to satisfy two people without feeling like we were missing out. Beyond bingsu, they also offer items like toast and other sweet treats, which give the menu more variety and make it a place you can visit even if you are not in the mood for shaved ice. The main thing to keep in mind is that the experience depends heavily on the flavor you choose. Some versions rely more on the toppings for their flavor, while others feel more balanced throughout. The presentation is impressive, but certain options may feel less satisfying if you expect every bite to have the same intensity as the first. The fruit-based versions, for example, rely on the freshness of the fruit to carry the dessert, while the chocolate and tiramisu versions have a more consistent richness from the base itself. Sulbing is a great spot for trying Korean-style shaved ice. The unique texture, large portions, and variety of flavors make it stand out from typical dessert shops, especially if you enjoy lighter desserts with creative toppings. The balance of refreshing and indulgent options across the menu gives you room to explore different styles on repeat visits, and the quality of the ingredients makes each bowl feel considered and well composed.
