Cute little Cafe with Asian focused menu and drinks. I love the atmosphere here: relaxed, very spacious and lots of art work on the walls both for sale and for decoration. The menu is sweets and drinks but nothing ordinary! I had a hot Korean tea (Yuzu) it was sooo delicious on a rainy day! The server was very nice and offered more hot water for the tea as I drank it down which was a nice touch. I also saw staff cleaning through my time there! One thing to note is you do have to make a purchase to sit in! Worth it though! read more

OK, but they were a little expensive for a mid latté. I also didn't appreciate the third degree given for using the restroom. "You have to buy something." Yes, OK, I plan to, when the rest of my group arrives. It's a cute place but the card machine was down and we had to Venmo the staff the order. They were nice about it, but we had to come to a resolution on our own. The young staffer had Venmo, but the older woman didn't. 80 cents for Almond milk was crazy work as well. Thusly, a latté was just about $9, absolutely surpassing Starbucks at that point. read more

I was craving bingsoo, and sadly there aren't that many options in PA/Philly for it :( Fortunately Cafe Clover have them, and it is located in the same plaza as Hmart and Dubu/Duba. I came with two other friends, and we got the mango milk snow in a bowl. It was about $27ish after tax. The bowl was a good amount for 3 people. The flavor was good. I enjoyed how soft the milk snow was, and how it just melts in your mouth. It wasn't too sweet. The store itself was very warm, which is good for the cold weather. There were plenty of tables with more towards the back. It looks like a good place for people to study. I would come back for the bingsoo, and try the other stuff they have here. There are gelato, drinks, and snacks available as well. read more

Their bingsoo is amazing! I got the misugaru (powder made from various grains) bingsoo and the shaved milky ice was so soft and just melted in your mouth. There are plenty of seats and tables available and the service was excellent. I will be back to try other flavors soon. read more

My husband and I occasionally came here after eating at Dubu, but unfortunately our last visit will be our final one. We were accidentally double-charged for a drink, and when we asked about it, the owner seemed upset with us for her mistake. Later, while I finished my coffee, my husband asked to use the restroom and was told he should have bought a drink and paid for the seat he was using--despite the café being completely empty (I've added a photo to show this). When I asked if this was her policy and if she had any signage that we missed, she became very rude. I understand this rule in a busy café, but my husband was full from lunch and didn't want anything. I truly hate writing negative reviews about small businesses, but this experience felt unwelcoming and unprofessional. read more

Bingsu is a must! Really soft snow and perfect amount of sweet for me. Mangos were crazy good, perfectly ripe! Condensed milk on the side so you can adjust sweetness as you wish. Pretty smart. I just wish mochi bits were on top instead of hidden on the bottom though. Plenty of seating and nice, clean interior. Staff were helpful answering our questions. read more

The taiyaki fish had little flavor, mostly just the taste of flour. The service was lacking; they simply brought out the taiyaki and called out our names without explaining which flavor was which, though we ordered vanilla and matcha how we suppose to tell. The hot chocolate was rich and tasty, but it wasn't hot at all. The atmosphere was quiet, but the cleanliness left much to be desired, as 6 out of 10 tables were not clean, and we noticed dirty liquid stains on the surfaces. read more

I stopped at Cafe Clover for some evening dessert. The cafe is open all day and offers a great variety of both food and beverage options. The interior is decorated well and has ample seating areas. I ordered a Vanilla Ice Cream Taiyaki. The employees let me know that it would be about 10 minutes since they were making a fresh batch of taiyaki. It ended up being about 25 minutes, which I thought was a bit long. Regardless, the Taiyaki looked and tasted delicious. It had a great balance of a crispy outer layer and soft interior. I had a decent experience at Cafe Clover. My dessert quality was good and compared well to what I've tried elsewhere. This place has a great variety of options, so I can see myself returning when I'm in the area again. read more

Cafe Clover is not safe and hostile to patrons that are deemed unworthy . Young patrons specifically are told to leave and harassed if they are not constantly purchasing drinks or food. Today I witnessed several young patrons being told to leave if they did not purchase what the woman felt was a necessary amount to spend. The woman then proceeded to yell and threaten to call the police. I would never recommend anyone and more specifically teenagers to go here. I felt sorry for the younger staff to have to witness such prejudice against their own age group. Most of the other cafes in the area such Tous Les Jours have an amazing staff and treat the customers great! This place is unwelcoming and terrible. read more

We got the strawberry shaven milk ice. It was pretty big and can definitely split between 4. It is packed with strawberries and the ice is flavored so it isn't bland. The red bean is pretty sweet. Towards the bottom we were surprised with extra pieces of mochi and strawberry jam. Overall, it was delicious and would highly recommend! Cafe Clover is conveniently located in the same plaza as HMart and Dubu. It's the perfect spot to stop at for dessert or to grab a coffee. It's pretty spacious and quiet. Plenty of tables to work at & free WiFi. They seemed to have rebranded again. read more

Very nice cozy cafe. We ordered two drinks (Lavender bubble tea, regular bubble tea) also ordered a pastry (Leek & Parm) the cashier guy was nice, we waited about 5 mins for the drinks and for him to toast the pastry. We sat for about 40 mins enjoying our drinks. Went to use the bathroom when we finished our drinks. I went to look around because it was my first time here. I was pleasantly surprised by the nice interior and cozy book section. I sat down in the back, shortly after this old woman (worker) approached us, seemed to not speak English well, she said "Order", or "Did you order" I said "excuse me?" she then got a nasty tone saying "ORDER" it was evening time around 6pm the cafe was empty... she watched us the whole time we were drinking our drinks, then basically kicked us out like we came in from outside not spending any money. We spent $20 in there... if I want to sit and relax in the cafe until closing I should be allowed. I spent money. Basically saying if you're not actively drinking your drinks "GET OUT". Very rude first time experience, this has never happened to me, I was shocked! read more

Great spot to sit and chat with a friend or even get work done! It's a pretty quiet and relaxed atmosphere and the staff is always so friendly. My favorite drink here is the Jeju Hanlabong hot tea. It's sweet and flavorful - if you like citrus, definitely give this a try! The cinnamon roll and the coffee cake are tasty as well. The breakfast sandwiches aren't bad, but I've had better. I think it's the roll they use that I don't love. Overall, great spot to visit for a relaxed vibe and good tea! read more

Each time I come here I leave with a good customer experience. EXCEPT for this time. I called ahead to order because I was extremely busy. I'm a college student trying to get everything done, and I didn't have much time to spend, so I called ahead. I call ahead to order and when the girl taking my class asks what time I would be coming, I say "maybe 20-25 minutes". Most of the time I order, I wait like 15-20 minutes for a pastry. A good day is 10 minutes, and I've once waited 30. The time I wait doesn't really matter to me because I want what I order, so it's okay to wait. But I didn't have time to waste so I thought it would be a good idea to call ahead. Immediately I'm shocked. I asked to order, gave my order, and I am met with laughing. She says she'll wait till I get closer to make the order, but she can't hide her laughing. Literally anything she said after I said I'd be maybe 20-25 minutes, she speaks and laughs. I'm not sure how to deal with this because I've quite honestly never once had an interaction where I am ordering and the person taking me is laughing at me. So I just ignore it and pretend that she isn't just laughing at me. This is a horrible customer service. Like I don't know if she was having a really good day where she forgot how to treat customers or what. I ALWAYS have great service provided when I call ahead, but this time was disappointing. Aside from that one awful interaction, the cafe is great and the food is good. Even though I am somewhat far, I come occasionally. I would rate it 4 stars, but this interaction ruined my day in all honesty. read more

We ordered mango milk snow, strawberry& mango milk snow, sampler taiyaki pack (cookie, nutella banana, red bean, and vanilla custard). For a dessert I feel like it was pricey. 1pc of taiyaki is already $5. The milk snow was delicious and cookie taiyaki. The guy that took our order was rude. They had a lot of seating and area in the back is nice. Great for people to hangout/ do homework/ read etc. read more

Taiyaki here is so good! They made it fresh and it came out HOT! Vanilla custard is a solid choice. We got the matcha too but the vanilla is still better in terms of flavor. We got two for 3 of us. I think if you got one and shared it, it would be enough. They're not super sweet either which makes it perfect for us read more

This is a cute cafe for desserts after a meal or a place to just simply relax. The menu has a wide variety of dessert options from coffee to milk tea, shave ice to taiyaki. I got the regular milk tea, taiyaki, and bingsoo which is shaved ice with ice cream and mango. I would recommend the bingsoo of all the items I got as the portion is huge and I don't find a lot of places around that serve bingsoo. The service was good and the food came out at a reasonable time. I didn't have to wait long. read more

Great shaved ice. I had the strawberry cheese cake and it was so good it literally melts in your mouth. It had pieces of cheese cake and strawberry around it. It was very pretty too. So we came with a group of 4 and they were about to close literally in like 15 mins. They took our ordered and they didn't rush us. We literally finished it in 10 mins and stayed 2 mins passed closing. It's a pretty decent place to hang out and have conversations. read more

Amazing little cafe with some bakery products and drink selections. I cannot believe they make Yuzu drink here omg, if you never had it you best come here to try it, it's a Japanese lemon drink that's hard to find in America. I didn't get to try their other products yet but they got teas and coffees. The inside looks really cute like a Korean cafe, with books and games. They have nice clean bathrooms for customers to use read more

Really good Bingsoo (Korean shaved ice (diary based)) spot close to Philly! They offer so many good flavors, there is something for everyone. In addition to Bingsoo, they offer taiyaki and western desserts like cake and cheesecake. Vibe is really chill. You can definitely come here with a group of friends to hang out or come by yourself with your laptop to do work. There's ample of parking spots in the shopping center lot right outside. read more

I absolutely love this place the works are nice and the desserts and coffee are delicious.

The inside is beautifully done. Gives a great cafe vibe! Lots of places to sit and places to study, but it can get a bit noisy so bring some noise cancelling headphones if you want to study. Great place for hanging out. We got the tiramisu shaved ice bowl. It was delicious even in this chilly weather. The ice cream matched well with the tiramisu flavor. The shaved ice was light and fluffy and melts easily in your mouth. The best part is you can take your time eating this because nothing melted. The ice cream barely melted either. It's a great combination of flavor and textures. The best part was it wasn't too sweet. The tiramisu could have been better. Flavor wise it hits those tiramisu notes, but it could definitely use a more time defrosting as it was basically a brick. Overall amazing place, great prices, and delicious food. read more

Because it's next to H-Mart (and I end up at H-Mart a lot) I find myself frequenting this cafe often. While I usually get bubble tea of some sort, this is not a bubble tea speciality shop, so you won't have an endless menu of boba and milk options to sort through. They have ice cream, cookies and shaved ice. Try the shaved ice (bingsoo), it's so incredibly tasty! It can feed a lot of people too, so don't attempt it by yourself. I had the strawberry bingsoo and it was packed full of strawberries and red beans, so even though it's expensive you'll get a lot for the money. I like this place as an all around dessert and beverage shop, and it's a great addition to the area. read more

Hello, today I adventured out to cafe clover! When i walked in i was immediately hit with nostalgia. I came here as a youngster and I have now returned. It definitely lived up to my expectations from what I remembered. The food was simple yet delicious. I devoured that avocado toast as you can see in the photo above. This is such a cute little cafe, I definitely recommend! The chai latte was average. The matcha boba was creamy and had the perfect ratio of matcha, it wasn't too overpowering. The mango smoothie is refreshing and filled my mouth with delight. There was only one person working there with many orders, so props to them! read more

If you are in the mood for some good dessert then you must come to Cafe Clover. Any sweet tooth cravings will be fulfilled by here. My recommendations to go with the shaved ice. Can never go wrong with that. Or go with just flaky warm fluffy taiyaki. Or if you want to go a step further....get the taiyaki with ice cream on top. If this place doesn't satisfied your dessert cravings then I don't know what will. read more

Korean shaved ice (bingsu) is the perfect refreshing cold treat. The matcha cheesecake flavor is decorated with delicious cheesecake, crispy wafer cookies, little chewy mochi, fluffy whipped cream, and a big scoop of creamy matcha gelato on top. The strawberry red bean shaved ice with mochi is also super yummy. Not pictured here, but the tiramisu one is also amazing. All of them come with a side of sweetened condensed milk for you to drizzle on top. read more

Perfect place to grab dessert here after a meal at Dubu!! Hands down the best Korean shaved ice in the city, I've tried a few flavors and have not been disappointed. It is a little pricy but the portion size is generous and definitely enough to share between 2+ people. Will definitely be back to try out more flavors! read more

Love their bingsoo, and the interior is always clean. A nice spot for dessert, studying, or a casual meet-up! All of the flavors of shaved ice are delicious, but I had the strawberry cheesecake shaved ice (shaved milk ice) and it was perfectly sweet! They give you a side of condensed milk to pour over it but I decided not to use it because it was just sweet enough. Little bits of Mochi are hidden underneath too. Definitely share this with a friend unless you have a massive sweet tooth or appetite. read more

Not many places sell delicious taiyaki in and out of Philly, not to mention a variety of Japanese-Korean-Chinese desserts (I'm eying you next, mango snow ball mountain...) There's also a lot of hot or iced drinks to choose from. This time around, I popped by for the gelato taiyaki combo: custard cream on the bottom of the fish shaped "cone" and coffee gelato on top. It was a piece of nostalgic heaven. FYI, remember to bring cash if you're spending less than $10. There's a minimum to use card. The cafe is clean, open, and the staff were very friendly. I saw several people working inside on their laptops as it's a chill and quiet place to concentrate. HMart is just across the parking lot, and the cafe is right next to Dubu and Sangkee. Highly recommend it! read more

Came here on multiple occasions. Nice ambiance, open tables, spacious parking lot. On Feb 7, 2023 at 2:02 pm, I had ordered a small caramel macchiato. No biggie. Person in front of me ordered a drink and sandwich and got it within 8 minutes. I waited 22 minutes for a small drink. There were two workers and seems like one was in training. I understand coffee shops tend to be busy but it was a simple drink that could've been made in two minutes (as they did eventually). I had sat in front of them and had a feeling they didn't know. I asked them politely how much longer it would be and they stated that they had forgotten when they asked what I ordered, what size, hot or cold. Ok. Other trips were fine, tables were somewhat dirty but drinks came out within five minutes. Nothing against the employees, just super disappointed this time around. read more

Had to come here when I heard they had bingsu or shaved ice. My friends and I got the strawberry one and it was not that bad. I was not displeased or amazed. This shaved ice did not seem as good or refreshing as the ones in Korea. The service and atmosphere is good and there is alot of open and semi private spacing. I would come back if my friends would be down. Overall: 3 Food: 3 Service: 3 Price: 3 Atmosphere: 3 read more

had many of their bingsoo's, but now i pretty much settle for just a cup of coffee or their grapefruit slush. the bingsoo is good but nothing extraordinary, and it can get pretty sweet so i wouldn't recommend it when sharing between only two people. out of all the bingsoo's i had here, i'd say the mocha was my favorite because of the coffee shaved ice! their grapefruit and hallabong frozen drinks are also great as well! the only thing i would have to really say in disfavor is that they don't offer stamps on their punch card for anything other than drinks which makes no sense to me because the other items cost so much more than a drink! read more
