As someone who craves bingsu pretty often, I was pretty disappointed by the bingsu here considering the steeper price. I got the matcha mango bingsu which came out to just over $20 after tax and tip. What was most disappointing was how little of a matcha taste I got from it. The base was a very sweet milky taste, and I really wish they infused the matcha directly into the shave ice itself. The matcha was just drizzled on top with matcha powder, along with some whipped cream which only diluted the matcha taste further. On the other hand, I will say they are generous with the mango topping, which were very fresh and perfectly ripe. They gave one single mochi cube which I feel they should either give more of or none at all. The environment itself is very noisy. Not sure what it is about the walls but they do not absorb sound well at all. Voices echo and bounce off the walls like crazy, it sounds like everyone is yelling and talking over eachother in there. That aside, the space and decor has a cute vibe and the self-serve water/coffee bar is a nice added touch. If I ever come back here, it would either be out of convenience or to try their drinks/a different dessert. Unfortunately the bingsu falls short in my opinion especially for the price tag. The base should resemble more of the flavour rather than rely on toppings. read more

Cafe Kray - Matcha mango bingsu - Korean Near Me - North York, Ontario

First time having bing su and I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the mango one and it was sooooo creamy and good. It was sweetened with condensed milk and the ice shaving was so light as ... creamy. There was mango chunks throughout the dessert. The server was nice.. ordered and gave us our goods. It wasn't too busy as it was midweek. Small place tho but it was good. Definitely will go back. FYI 2 hr seating limit. I guess when it's busy it would make sense read more

A cute cafe on Yonge and Sheppard that I've seen online a lot! I was quite excited to give this spot a try since the photos looked amazing. Strawberry matcha bingsu: Unfortunately, it was a bit disappointing. The portions were much smaller than what I thought it would be. Generous amount of toppings but there wasn't enough shaved ice base to balance with the toppings. Visited on a Friday evening, it was quite busy but still was able to manage to get a spot. Good spot to hangout with friends but can be a bit noisy if you're there for a study spot. There was a water station to refill on water which was convenient. read more

Located on the second floor, you might miss it if you don't look closely. The shaved ice was good, nice and fluffy. The mango was fresh and tasty as well! Lots of seating space, the water is self serve. The servers don't serve you, it's more of an order and sit down situation. Great place to hangout with friends or to study at! read more

Got the Injeolmi Latte with a shot of espresso and an Iced Americano. Decent drinks! There was only one barista today so service was slower than other days. We usually come here to work and were lucky enough to grab seating today. If you don't mind a bit of chatter and noise, then it's not a bad space. read more

I like going to Yonge & Sheppard for new cozy cafes. My girlfriends and I decided to visit Cafe Kray, (thanks to Yelp for the recommendation!) This cafe offers delicious desserts like cakes and Bingsu and their drinks are very good too! Although we find their Bingsu expensive, it was delightful. Love the fast and friendly service at Cafe Kray. They are minutes away from Yonge / Sheppard subway. read more

Kray is a cute cafe, up some stairs off the strip. The staff were pleasant, and the service was quick. We came for dessert, and we were delighted with our sweet nibbles.

This cafe is cute and cosy. I appreciated the relaxed atmosphere. Didn't know there was also seating at the back of the cafe until we were leaving. We ordered the mango bingsu and the pistachio bingsu. Both were delicious but I had a slight preference for the pistachio, maybe because it was a cooler evening, so the warm, nutty flavour of the pistachio was much appreciated. In comparison to other places, I agree that prices are a little higher. However, the portion sizes of the bingsus are still pretty decent. read more

Cafe Kray - Bingsu - Korean Near Me - North York, Ontario

Walked past this cafe and decided to try! Located on the second level, you are met with the coffee bar upon the top of the stairs. They have seating in the back near the restrooms and at the front as well but it was pretty packed on a Saturday afternoon. They do have a 2 hour seating limit but I did not see it being enforced super strictly. They have their wifi password posted on the walls. The menu is on the chalkboard but quite narrow hallway so hard to see. They do have paper menus at the cash. After ordering, you get a beeper to alert you when your items are ready. We ordered a flat white, injeolmi latte (not caffeinated and sweetened with condensed milk), and a dalgona latte (iced and large size only). The presentation was very cute. The injeolmi latte came with a small heart shaped skewer of mochi. All the cups are custom made and have KRAY on them and some decorative dots that may or may not trigger your trypophobia haha. My flat white was strong and I enjoyed it. The dalgona pieces were quite sweet but nice and crunchy and went well with the non sweetened latte base. Overall the prices are a bit higher especially for their food items like bingsu (super small size) and bungeoppang (fish shape pastry taiyaki) but everything looked delicious and the carrot cake looked super moist. Will be back to try other drink items (quite extensive menu) and food next time! I read more

Cafe Kray is located on the second floor. I love their drinks here! They're super creative and taste great. A lovely place to study. The staff was quick and kind. I got the Injeolmi latte, bung-eo-ppang (pizza cheese &sweet potato) and hazelnut iced latte. All the items were really good. Would avoid the bingsu though as it pretty small for the price. read more

High quality bingsu with a cute atmosphere! 4 out of 5 stars because I will admit it is a little pricy for the portion they give out but I'd say this is one of the better bingsu spots I've tried in the GTA. My brother and I ordered a strawberry matcha bingsu without red bean and we both really enjoyed it. The place looks small but actually has a lot of seating so it's perfect for hangouts, studying, dates, etc. Very instagrammable as well. They have a lot of menu items to choose from, as well as drinks and little homemade desserts by the register. read more

When my friend and I were looking for a cafe to study at, Cafe Kray seemed like the perfect place- with a serene and calm ambiance and a welcoming staff team to greet us, this was the perfect place for us to focus on our work. When looking for seating, the cafe as a whole seats about 30-40 customers in total. I've also noticed that reservations are allowed to be placed, which is also a plus. I love being the bearer of good news to say that yes there is free wifi, and for most of the seats there are outlet extensions underneath them to charge your devices. I ordered the vanilla latte and a confetti cookie, while my friend ordered an iced caramel latte, both of our orders for here. We were given a little buzzer for our order, so we were able to go and sit down until our drinks were made. Our drinks were given to us in reusable glasses and mugs (reusable!). The vanilla latte was not too sweet, you could tell these drinks had an Asian twist to it because it wasn't filled to the brim with sugar. The iced latte had just enough ice to chill the drink, not enough to make the drink not worth buying. The cookie was soft and chewy, complimenting the caffeine bitterness from the latte with its sweetness. Although the cafe does say they have a 2-hour seating/ wifi limit, the staff are not strict with the policy and will let you stay longer as long as you don't abuse the lenience. They also give out complimentary lemon water, which i think is a very nice touch. Overall, I have nothing bad to say about Cafe Kray, other than the fact that it is a little crowded at times. Their service and food/ drinks are worth the money, and next time we'll be coming back for their famous bingsu! read more

Cafe Kray - vanilla latte + confetti cookie + iced caramel latte - Korean Near Me - North York, Ontario

Cute little new cafe at North York. Their menu is a variety of coffee and tea, snacks, and of course, bingsu (Korean shaved ice). We got the pistachio, mango, and injeolmi bingsu. My friend also got their yang-nyum chicken (which she said was pretty spicy). I enjoyed the mango binsu out of all three, the mangoes were really fresh and it was nice with the milk ice. The injeolmi would be next and it had a really nice flavour. The pistachio was also good but I wish it had a more strong flavour, I just found it a bit lacking compared to the other two. I did find the bingsu to be a bit pricey for the size and portion. But the staff was really nice and the atmosphere was cozy. Would try their drinks and other snacks next time I come. Second time I came and we got the read more

newest Korean cafe in the Yonge Sheppard area. They offer a variety of coffee and tea drinks, bingsu dessert and even bungeo-ppang. Very spacious inside so it's perfect for studying or chilling with friends. . . Tteokbokki (3/5) Injeolmi Latte (4/5) . . I really enjoyed the drink, wasn't too sweet. However, it is very pricey here for what you get. Portions are also really small. If I were to come back, it'll probably just be for drinks because food is way too overpriced. read more

Cafe Kray - Pistachio bingsu, sweet potato bungeoppang - Korean Near Me - North York, Ontario

Café Kray, located on the 2nd floor near Yonge/Harlandale, is a Korean dessert café specializing in bingsu (shaved ice), bungeo-ppang (fish-shaped pastry), and snacks (tteokbokki). They also have a variety of beverages as well where their espresso based drinks use beans from the popular Toronto coffee roaster, De Mello. They also have unique drinks like the dalgona coffee, injeolmi latte, or the mango latte. They also serve Sloane teas. My friends and I stopped by Café Kray at around 9pm on a Friday. The space is not accessible as there are a flight of stairs to navigate. Upon entering, if you are dining in, the staff will seat you to a table. There is a cute sticky-note wall for you to add your drawings or writings too which is nice. The space feels airy and bright, a perfect place to hang with friends or go on a date. We were not clear if a server would come to us to take our order or if we needed to go up to the cashier - we did ask staff and they were unclear as well where we could do both. We ended up just asking the server to take our order instead of going to the cashier. The water is also self-serve as well. Food and drink wise, we got the following items: - Dolce latte - Peaches and cream tea - Mango bingsu - Sweet potato bungeo-ppang I can only comment on the food items as my other friends had the drinks. The mango bingsu was delicious! The ice was shaved so finely it felt as if I was eating a cloud where it was soft in texture. The mango puree with the mangos was not too sweet. The only sad part was that the bingsu was not big enough! The sweet potato bungeo-ppang was also hot and fresh when it arrived at our table. The exterior of the bungeo-ppang was crispy and light while the inside was warm. Both items were delicious and you could tell they were made with care. Only complaint is that it is more on the expensive side. Service wise, staff were friendly and attentive. They also came by to check on us to make sure we were satisfied with everything. Overall, a great option for Korean dessert if you are around the Sheppard/Yonge area! read more

Cute little spot in North York on the second floor. Self serve lemon water available at the side. You place order at the front counter and they'll give you a beeper to notify you when order is ready. Menu comes with a little description and background of the food items. Our group ordered the matcha red bean Bing su and strawberry Bing su. The strawberry is refreshing but didn't quite get any strawberry flavours as the syrup is missing. The Bing su and the strawberries didn't quite mesh together in harmony, it's as if they don't know each other. The matcha Bing su was better. The matcha was blended quite well to the Bing su so you could taste the flavour in every bite. We also got the fish taiyaki in Nutella and red bean. The Nutella was delicious especially when served warm. My kid loved it! read more

Looking for a welcoming cafe to enjoy both sweet and savory Korean food, make your way upstairs to KRAY near Yonge & Sheppard. With a variety of bingsu and small bite options, this cafe is worth a visit. With 8 bingsu flavours to pick from, we had the dalgona - which had large pieces of dalgona candy, drizzled with espresso and topped with 1 piece of mochi. The coffee flavour was strong and the combo of the crunchy candy and shaved milk ice was great. However, the size of the bingsu was on the smaller size, despite a similar price point as other places.

Stumbled upon this cafe on a Friday evening. The sign for the place is quite small so it can be easy to miss and you do have to go up a flight of stairs. Upon entering, they give you the menu, you choose your seat, and then get up and order when you're ready. The menu had a wide selection from drinks to bingsu to korean nibbles such as tteokboki and bungeo ppang. I ended up getting the dalgona bingsu to split with my partner cause usually we never finish one on our own. Plus, I've never seen dalgona bingsu anywhere else. The portion was very small compared to what I expected for the price. I would say it's definitely not shareable compared to other bingsu places I've been. The bingsu had huge chunks of dalgona pieces on top, so they give you cups on the side to put those in. I feel like even tho the display was very asthetic, it was kind of inconvenient to eat. I had to remove all of the dalgona to get to the actual shaved ice at the bottom. The dalgona was too bitter to eat on its own, so I had to dig to the bottom and eat it with the bingsu in my little cup on the side. The shaved ice was also not as creamy as I would like, but that may be a personal preference. This review is purely for the dalgona bingsu as I didn't get a chance to try the other items, and those might be amazing. The interior was cozy and cute, though the few tables available to us were dirty, and we had to pick the least dirty one to sit down at. Service was very good and quick. read more

Been here twice and tried the choco bingsu and dalgona bingsu. Dalgona was definitely tastier, but both were delicious. I love the texture of the bingsu, it's so unique! It's about 15$ for one which is a little pricey but that's expected these days. The cafe itself is beautiful, but very small. It's also been very busy both times I've gone, leaving me waiting for a table or unable to get one. The staff are friendly and quick ! Overall definitely a must try read more

Ordered pistachio bingsu for takeout - be aware that takeout prices for bingsu are more expensive than dining in because the takeout portions are supposedly bigger. Would have been nice to know this before the bill being rung up. I had been looking at the menu outside earlier and saw that the pistachio bingsu was listed at $14.50 so you can imagine my surprise when the total came out to over $19. The bingsu itself was decent but nothing special - the menu description said it included mochi but there was only one piece of mochi in the whole container! The bingsu portion wasn't very large either, considering it cost almost $20. Staff there was quite friendly and happy to explain to me why the cost was more than what was listed on the menu, but needless to say, I won't be returning. You can get larger and better bingsu from other places that don't cost as much. read more
