    I found this place on Instagram. It was such a cute spot, and super busy when I went on a Saturday afternoon. To place your order. However, there was still a short wait to grab a seat as well as get your food. All the items we ordered were aesthetically very pretty. The display is top notch. I ordered one of their tea dessert sets and the presentation was just adorable. However, it was relatively expensive. I wouldn't say the tea set was worth the price. However, the bingsu was really good. Would definitely come back for the shaved ice again.

    Absolutely adorable - desserts were delicious and matcha was perfect. Vibe is so cute, there's upstairs and outside as well. Parking was a little tight. Service was friendly and quick, really cute spot!

    Cheongsu's outdoor space is really pretty and perfect for photos, but the inside is quite plain and much smaller than I expected. We had to wait for a table because of the limited seating, and the second floor was closed when we visited. The drinks were underwhelming, and the injeolmi fromage looked more impressive than it tasted--nothing particularly special. The black sesame bingsu with red bean was definitely the highlight. It was refreshing, creamy, nutty, and not overly sweet. Overall, the outdoor setting is beautiful and very photogenic, but aside from the black sesame bingsu, the food and drinks didn't really live up to the presentation.

    Aesthetic on point, taste amazing! It's incredible how balanced the flavors are, nothing too sweet here. The bingsu offers a full, rounded experience with its soft ube ice cream and crunchy "cookies." The Korean set is pretty, though not quite my dessert type. I just wish the teapot was bigger to balance all the sweets!

    Came here for Free Wi-Fi and binsu. Didn't have Wi-Fi, and it was a disappointment. What coffee store does NOT have Wi-Fi?! The binsu was alright, and I had better elsewhere. The seats were uncomfortable as it was screaming for you to get out as soon as you are done with your food. Not enjoyable at all. Definitely not coming here in the future!

    Tea + confections and more. Crossing off another place on my list. Cheongsu in Fort Lee serves souffles, madeleines, matchas and several other items. I was incredibly intrigued by the Korean special set menu and had to get it! It comes with tea, madeleine, traditional Korean confectionery, jelly, dried seasonal fruit and candied chestnuts. I wish I have the opportunity to have this more often. I also tried their yuzu beverage. The pulp separates pretty quickly and sank in the bottom. With a filled glass, it wasn't easy to blend with the spritz. Since it was my first time, I asked a few questions and was told that they'd send a text message when it was ready. I recall reading that the soufflé takes 30 minutes to complete as well. Pro, it's great that the whole order was ready before 30 minutes; Con, the soufflé was under cooked. Also, since the food was ready sooner than anticipated, I wasn't able to retrieve the order on time and was "scolded" that they're not a table service type of establishment. 1, I'm fully aware I had to get my order myself. Unfortunately the call only reflected the main floor where the serving counter was. Not upstairs, not outside. 2. I should've been given grace since again, it was served earlier than anticipated. I also didn't get a text message that it was ready. There are lots of opportunities for improvement here, like an intercom of some sort outside and upstairs. I didn't see the upstairs so idk if it really needs it there. Since they're not a table service type of establishment, an automatic door would be great because everything had to be returned inside. Envision glasses on trays with other tablewares, full hands and the door.... Not to mention if someone was coming out from the inside. It's a disaster waiting to happen. Although I enjoyed everything because it was delicious, I didn't enjoy it to the fullest because of the one moment left a bad taste in my mouth.

    We did not go upstairs, but the downstairs space is kind of small and cramped even on a weekday afternoon. You can order on a screen. We got an iced americano, the misugaru drink, and corn bingsoo. Everything was good but the bingsoo was a standout, possibly one of the best ones I've ever had despite not having mochi nor red bean. Texture and flavor were perfect and not too sweet. This place is pricey but I would come back and I want to try their other bingsoo too.

    This place is so cute!! I was transported to another country. It's so zen upon entry. Seems like they have a parking lot adjacent which is nice. You order on one of the two kiosks. Then they call your number. The soufflés take 20-30min. They have tap water with ice if you ask. They have some outdoor tables too. And a bathroom. The cream brûlée matcha was so unique. I loved the crunchy top and watching them heat it up. The cream in it is rich and tastes very good with a dipped salted vanilla financier. We got an assortment of cookies. The standout was the Dubai matcha one. It had a kataifi in the center which made it crunch and on the outside a thin layer of chewy mochi, which was kind of floral tasting. For some reason it tasted like fruity pebbles even though that's not the flavor profile I was expecting. The soufflé was steaming hot, had red bean on the bottom and a ton of sesame on the top and inside as well. It wasn't strong in flavor and was light and fluffy. The green tea Madeleine was too dry and bitter for me. Some of the other cookies we had were on the dry side as well. Overall really unique place with lots of unique flavors. The drink was standout!

    Cute dessert spot in Fort Lee, New Jersey! The place has a parking lot with a few spots but the ramp is located in an awkward spot so it can be difficult to turn in especially when there's people leaving and coming in too. My family and I came on a Sunday evening and it was kind of packed, especially since the outdoor garden and upstairs was closed. As a result, the employees usually limit the dine-in time and encourage people to refrain from taking larger tables when your party is smaller. The place has a warm, wood theme that makes it feel very cozy inside. Upon walking in, you can see a display models of all the desserts they have or you can use one of two kiosks to look at pictures and order! My sister wanted to get one of their signature desserts: souffle castellan or fromage. I wanted to try their madeleines, financier, and shaved ice. One thing we could agree on is no yakgwa. We're not a fan of the chewy, sweet flour dessert. We shared a Matcha Fromage, Black Sesame Madeline, and Salted Vanilla Financier. The Matcha Fromage was a bit overrated. It has a hard, dry texture but the matcha flavor made it bearable. Would not order again. The black sesame Madeline and Salted vanilla financier on the other hand were out of this world. Perfect taste and texture. Soft on the inside and crisp on the outside. My sister did not want the shaved ice and I could not finish it myself but honestly wished we got it instead of the fromage. Everyone in the room had a shaved ice on their table. Whether it was matcha or strawberry - they all looked sooo good! As for drinks, we ordered an iced creme brulee matcha latte and a vanilla latte. They messed up our order and gave us a plain iced creme brulee latte which has coffee in it! The barista was nice when we told her about what happened. She informed us she will make the correct drink, but that if we wanted we could keep the drink made in error. Luckily, my sister is a coffee drinker so she drank it and I drank the matcha one. They were good but the creme brulee too definitely makes it more sweet. The vanilla latte has a cute bear art on top but flavor wise, it's just like any regular vanilla latte. Would love to come back to try other drinks as well as the shaved ice! Hopefully, when the weather is nicer, the outdoor garden is open too! FYI - there is one unisex bathroom for customers right on the left when you enter.

    Finally checked out Cheongsu NJ! Small space, but the vibe is so on point--very Korean café aesthetic and super photogenic The hot matcha latte had the cutest latte art--clearly made with care Tried the traditional Korean tea dessert set--beautiful presentation (10/10 for photos), but some flavors (ginger, savory sesame, cinnamon) were a bit hard for me to get used to. My Korean friend said it's very authentic though! Soufflé pancakes took ~15 mins but came out soft and fluffy The fromage (matcha + chestnut) looked stunning, with a unique honeycomb-like topping Overall, a great spot to chill, catch up, and take cute pics. Sad the shaved ice machine was down--next time!

    There's parking outside and there's also outdoor seating space. When you go up the steps it's the first door in the front, not the door on the right hand side!!! Wow everything on the menu is a must try. We tried almost everything. My favorite were the drinks, I prefer the earl gray drink and cookie. This was a great spot to hit up before an American dream mall day! Definitely stop by and try one of everything! The potion for the cake was huge, thank god we only ordered one for the 3 of us. Need room to fit all the other goodies!

    Desserts taste amazing, love the indoor decor particularly upstairs really matches the theme, service is great! Desserts are on the pricier side and they have a very small parking lot on the side of the building!

    Came here to check out this dessert spot with authentic Korean elements and overall, it's definitely more of a vibe than a "must come for the dessert" kind of place. They do have their own parking lot, which is convenient, but just a heads up, it's pretty limited and fills up quickly. The interior space itself is really cute, with a cozy and aesthetic seating area that makes it a great spot for a casual coffee chat or even to sit and get some work done for an afternoon. Everything is very Instagram worthy, from the presentation to the interior. My friend and I ordered a dessert set, two strawberry matchas, and the matcha fromage. Out of everything in the set, I only really liked the financier. It was moist, lightly sweet, and honestly the only item I'd order again. The rest of the desserts were either too sweet or just didn't quite hit the mark for my taste. The drinks: mixing the matcha and the milk and just drinking the matcha itself was actually really good. It was deep, earthy, and high quality, but once the strawberry purée was mixed in, it became overwhelmingly sweet. I couldn't even finish it. The matcha fromage was decent, with soft layers of sponge cake, soft cream, chestnuts, and a dusting of matcha powder, but not something I'd specifically crave again. Overall, everything here is on the pricier side - total came down to almost $70 for everything pictured. The aesthetics and ambiance is definitely really great, but this spot is just worth a one time visit to try and I wouldn't go out of my way to come back.

    What is the parking situation?

    There's a small parking lot next to the location, and street metered parking is available, free on Sundays. However, parking in the lots across the street carries a high risk of getting ticketed.

    I came to the US for the World Cup, decided to stay longer in NYNJ for the food scene... and I'm…read moreeven more glad I did after having discovered Cafe Oak Having spent 3 months in South Korea, I was curious to try them out I mean, in Palisades Park there are plenty of options for Korean food & drinks indeed, but what caught my attention with this one was the variety Savory food: kimbap (burdock, bulgogi, pork, bacon kimchi, tuna, shrimp tempura, etc - some being spicy, some not), rice ball (spam, tuna mayo, shrimp tempura), fish cake odeng, udon (with shrimp tempura or beef), toast (street and morning ones), tteokbokki, sandwiches, crackers... Sweet food: bingsu (shaved ice), waffles, bubble waffles, pastries, crispy banana chips... Drinks: all sorts of coffee including their signature coffee seasalt (hot or iced), tea, bubble tea (hot or iced), matcha latte, ade, lemonade... I personally first had: - Tuna mayo kimbap - Strawberry matcha latte (made with with real fruit) - Taro shaved ice (with icecream & red beans too) I loved it so much that I came back the following day, for my last day in the neighborhood, this time having: - Tempura shrimp udon (served with kimchi) - Mango ade (made with real fruit) - Strawberry and banana waffle (served with whipped cream and ice cream) - Taro bubble tea (that I chose to have hot) And I have to say it was all SO delicious! Worth noting, better come early to have the maximum choice if kimbap as they are freshly made in the morning and can sell out fast ; and for cooked food available upon request, kitchen closes at 1PM so make sure to arrive before A few extra things to mention: For convenience they have a bathroom as well, and Wi-Fi There are claw machines for fun Korean music is played, making one feel even more in Korea The last but not the least, staff is super efficient / professional My favorite coffee shop in Palisades Park, no doubt Highly recommend! Kamsahamnida

    We came here on a Saturday afternoon because our usual spot were packed…read more We were debating if we wanted the matcha one or one of the fruits one. We got mango because it was marked seasonal. I would expect fresh mangoes during mango season since you've marked in "seasonal" but nope they were frozen mango and artificial mango syrup.
