This is a cute cafe but I got their milk tea and it was one Lipton tea bag and milk. Very watery, barely any tea taste. Definitely not worth $4+ read more

When I think of shaved ice, I think of Coffee Factory. I have a lot of memories of coming here and being wow-ed at how stacked their shaved ice desserts are. They always include so many toppings, and it is a great sharable dessert. On this day, two friends and I ordered a milk tea shaved ice. Service was not the friendliest, but nothing worth pointing out. They gave us a buzzer to hold onto, which alerted us when our order was ready. It took about 15 minutes, just like they told us. The indoors is pretty small and crowded, but thankfully there was an outdoor seating set up outside. Even though we just got the shaved ice, the ice cream scoop was already melting by the time we set it outside and were taking pictures. There were also some nuts, butter cookies, and tapioca, which were delicious, but the whole thing was already falling apart! It was quite sweet, but we still enjoyed it. The shaved ice itself was perfect in texture. read more

Drinks were fine- but the lady staff who took order was rude af. A prisoner would be happier than her, she doesnt need to greet people with a huge smile but does not need to be a jerk. Def not coming back read more

Delicious green tea ice flake bingsoo. This is probably their most popular dessert and for good reason - the fluffy green tea shaved ice comes with generous amounts of soft and chewy mochi, a small side of red bean paste, crunchy sliced almonds, a scoop of green tea ice cream, and a delicious taiyaki fish-shaped ice cream sandwich to top it all off. Every bite is a little different, and the textures all work well together. The dish is definitely best shared with others, good for about 3-4 people. I also had a latte here and thought it tasted standard, not bad but nothing special. The cafe itself is pretty relaxed and quite spacious. There are a few tables in the back room where I noticed people working and studying. If I lived closer I would definitely come back regularly! read more

Green tea latte with almond milk was very good. Ambiance was clean and modern, nice spot.

This place has some of the best shaved ice in the area but their drinks are pricey as hell. $3+ for tea steeped from a teabag? F that. Espresso shot for $3+? The nerve. This ain't no artisanal coffee shop or does it try to be. It's probably on the same tier as Paris Baguette, more or less. But since there's no chain coffee shop in the area, they can charge however much they want, although their competition is merely similar cafes in the area. It also bothers me that they charge extra for almond/soy/cashew milk, as if their $4 small-sized ice-filled coffee isn't already expensive. If this place wasn't charging so much for their drinks, I think I'd come here regularly. They probably have the best workspace settings in the area, compared to the other places around--plenty of power outlets that are easy to find and you'll get privacy. Its interiors are kind of industrial-hip-chic, but who knows what its called. I do have to admit that their patbingsu is pretty damn good and well worth the money for the huge portion you get, and their presentation is adorable. read more

So this place has really nice staff and usually has seating so I want to give it 5 stars for service and friendliness. Drink prices have gone up but it's pandemic + inflation so 4 stars here. Ordered a bubble tea and yea it sucks, plus they didn't even fill it to the top. 2.5 stars Also they have decent wifi and an area in the back with plugs to do work. read more

Coffee Factory - (Very disappointing) Bubble tea, no brown sugar syrup - Desserts Near Me - Flushing, New York

Great cafe for doing work or to chat with friends. There are plenty of seats available with lots of outlets around and on the tables as well. There's also a room further in the back with more tables, books (in Korean) and a bathroom. The bathroom is fairly clean with loud music and the sink is separate from the actual toilet. They are well known for their shaved ice desserts which is actually really good. The shaved ice is more creamy than most places rather than icey. They also typically add ice cream and other ingredients depending on the one you order. The green tea one has the samanco fish ice cream with a scoop of green tea ice cream, mochi, sliced almonds all on top of a pillowy bed of green tea shaved ice. It also comes with red bean on the side which adds lots of sweetness to the whole thing. They also have cakes here (and juniors cheesecake) which are decent. Definitely come with friends to share the delicious shaved ice which comes in a big portion! read more

Great coffee and quick bites! The staff is great here! I have been coming here for a few years and always a 5 star experience!

I absolutely love the "ade" drinks at this café! They are sweet and refreshing. It's like seltzer+ fruit juice. Some have popping bubbles also. The coffee and shaved ice are pretty good too. The ade drinks are definitely a favorite! read more

I've been coming to this cafe for a while now. coffee is very good. One star is only for one of the workers who I am assuming is the manager. Not sure what her issue is with me, but she is very short and rude with me. At first I thought it was because I don't speak Korean. But that was not the case b/c I have seen her be pleasant with non korean speaking people. The only thing I can think of was I did not give her a tip. The reason I think this is b/c one time after I paid she took the tip cup and slammed it down in front of me. I don't tip if the server is rude, not nice in general. She just has a nasty mood so why should I tip her? I still come since it is close and like I mentioned earlier the coffee tastes great. But unfortunately this worker is the only one working in the morning (time i usually go). So I just deal with her rudeness. read more

Was my first time here, I always see this place busy all year. Just curious what the hype was about. I was very thirsty, ordered the Blue Lemonade because I can't drink caffeine or alcohol. I never heard of Blue Lemonade before but sounded refreshing. Came out super quick ...in like 1 or 2 minutes. Was surprised by that. It tasted like Lemonade with sprite mixed in. Kind of on the bitter side though not sweet like soda. Was disappointed that more than half the cup was ice , just like Starbucks. Looked better than it tasted but it was good though. read more

A charming study-friendly cafe with a wonderful choice in music- this place was definitely my go-to dessert place after a filling Korean meal. This cafe is clean and super cute, with a variety of pasties, cakes, coffees and sweet drinks. The song selection is filled with sappy Korean osts that I shamelessly love. I've had great experiences enjoying their variety of shaved ices with my friends. For this visit, we ordered a hot milk tea and an original flavored mojito. While I want to say good things, I was just so disappointed because the mojito was not even close to being filled to the top! It just looked like such a sad and lacking drink, especially paying $5 ($4.75 with tax). A couple more chunks of ice could've fixed the problem, so come on.. It shows that the person making the drink really does not care how the drink turns out. As for the taste, both of the drinks were good but we left feeling slightly let down. read more

The matcha bingsu is both visually appealing and tasty. You can comfortably share it with 3 people. In terms of studying space. They have outdoor seating that they used to section off by party but they removed the divider which kind of sucks. However, there is plenty of outdoor study space. The wifi recently has been very splotchy and I often have to wait for a buffering video. Overall, would come back for the bingsu but iffy about the study space if I need wifi. read more

I used to always come to this spot for my coffee and sometimes their sandwiches before hopping on the LIRR since it's right across the street. I'm going to rate this as my overall experience from all the times I've gone: Drinks: -I used to get their iced cold brew since they don't have iced coffee. Their cold brew is from Stumptown's so it's pretty strong and tastes good -I once got their strawberry milkshake- it was delicious! It's basically strawberry ice cream blended with milk, but if you're into milkshakes, I strongly recommend this drink bc it was really good. -Their iced green tea is pretty good Food: -I used to get their croissant sandwiches which were delicious and I loved that they heated it up for you -Had a red bean pastry that was good -Had a regular ham sandwich which was good too Payment: -Their is a minimum for credit cards which I didn't like bc one time I was a dollar off from the limit and the cashier said I can just pay the extra dollar-um why would I do that? -Besides that moment, the rest of the barista staff were really nice Seating: -They offer a lot of seatings indoors and out and looks really cute -I'm pretty sure they have free wi-fi as well which is also a nice touch Recommend: 8.5/10 overall I really like this cafe and recommend anyone to stop by for a nice cup of joe and pastry! :) read more

Came here for dessert after eating Korean bbq meat by. This neighborhood is pretty much all Korean restaurants and Cafes, and it was kinda funny when we walked in, everyone sitting inside were Korean senior citizens! We ordered the strawberry ice flakes, which is like shaved ice, with a scoop of ice cream, and had these red balls that looked like salmon roe, but were really strawberry flavored and popped in your mouth. Very unique interesting textures and refreshing. My friend also ordered a banana bread and it was kinda dry. read more

Strawberry bingsoo was delicious and you can share it since it's large portion. It had almond, strawberry, and boba bubbles. This place is quiet and it's great to study or hang out with friends. They have a lot of different type of pastries and varieties of hot or ice coffee/latte. read more

The shaved ice is average. Their drinks are all average. There's a nice seating area. There's always people hanging out or studying.

Popped by after having lunch to grab some dessert. I had been here one before and definitely enjoyed the layout and the atmosphere. I also really liked how they had a small, more private section in the back that seemed like a good area to study or get work done. Menu wise, they had a decent amount of options for both drinks and desserts. The music was at a good noise level and wasnt overbearingly loud or annoying. The casheir at the front was helpful in helping to pick out options. I ordered the Curry Crochette and a Delicous hot chocolate, both of which were delicious. The Curry Crochette was room temperature and I usually like mine toasted. They were unable to do so but they were able to heat it up in the microwave. My friend ordered a Carrot cake which looked delicious and tasted amazing. Definitely need to stop by here again. read more

Nice and roomy Cafe with a decent number of tables. It's also pretty busy here. I came at like 10pm Sunday with a group of 6, and we were lucky to have found 2 empty tables and 6 chairs to sit. It was not long after we sat down that couple other groups of people came in and didn't really have seats. They also have a backroom where people usually sit and do their work or study and it's less noisy compared to the front of the Cafe. Drinks are good and decently priced. Somewhat cheaper than Paris baguette. I had a small matcha latte, and it was pretty good. It was sweet with a nice green tea taste. Sister had the vanilla latte and it was also OK. I tried a couple bites of the cheesecake and tiramisu and they were also good. We sat here for like 1.5 hours playing a boardgame (codename) that we bought in ourselves. read more

Came here for dessert after having dinner in the area. The venue was pretty spacious and there was even a section in the rear for studying and reading, as well as a clean restroom. Everything was kept relatively clean and the staff were friendly. I had their green tea ice flake, which was big enough to share. It came with green tea flavored shaved ice, a scoop of green tea ice cream, roasted almond slices, mochi pieces, a Samanco fish and red bean paste on the side. Everything was pretty delicious to satisfy my sweet tooth and I especially liked the soft mochi pieces that complemented the crunch of the almond slices wonderfully. The patbingsu wasn't overly sweet and I really enjoyed it. Overall, I enjoyed my first experience here at Coffee Factory and I look forward to returning whenever I am craving dessert in the area. The venue is close to the Murray Hill LIRR station and several Korean eateries. read more

The desserts and coffee are mediocre. The worst is the customer service. I ordered a hot drink that was spilling over the top. While trying to pick up the drink, it spilled over on my hand and when I jerked my hand back in reaction, the counter staff rolled her eyes and said that it wasn't hot and that I should just drink the top to avoid spilling. I said no, because this hot drink was JUST made, and there was a customer behind me waiting to order. When I grabbed a napkin to clean myself up and carry the drink back to my table, I heard the staff member say "so dramatic" and saw her shake her head. Just to note, the drink was hot enough that it left a red mark on my hand. Staff is so disrespectful and had ZERO customer service skills. Not only that, they clearly don't care about their customers. Never will I be visiting again. read more

After dinner, Andrea G and I always tried to save some room to satisfy our sweet tooth. Finally can crossed this off my bookmarks and this was Andrea G's pick. Coffee Factory isn't located on the main road of Northern Blvd but in the side streets and a bit of walk with the icy sidewalks (hello people stop being lazy and shovel the sidewalks duh). Okay, okay I am a bit off the tracks lol Pretty spacious dessert shop with comfy booth seats...uh yea I was eyeing on those seats and we took over a table meant for four but oh well first come first you know! We looked at the cakes displayed and check out the menu hung over the cash wrap area. How cute Ice Flakes aka Bingsoo (Korean Shaved Ice)...we choose Mango flavored! Note: They accept credit cards except for AMEX but good thing I always have a back credit card of VISA or MasterCard. Woah baby the portion size is good for 2-4 people to share definitely. I love the Mango flavored Popping Boba with chunks of mangoes and a scoop of vanilla icecream which was topped with slices of Almonds but I freaked out with any nuts touching my dessert. Awww my girl Andrea G scooped that nuts and icecream for her first bite. Damn we were stuffed and I got too many brain freezes lol I am definitely not cheating on my beloved Snowdays but the Ice Flakes was yummy =) read more

I saw many great reviews about ice flakes (bingsu) so I decided to stop by. Regrets. Much regret. Upon entering the store approximately 30-40 minutes before their posted closing time, the employee at the register noticed I was looking at the bingsu menu and told me that they're currently not making them. Although a table of 4 sitting by the window clearly ordered a bingsu not too long ago.. I mean, that's cool though. I've worked at a cafe and restaurant before. And by the looks of it, you tend to stop making more "complicated" items after a certain time because you're just too lazy to clean again and you want to go home. So what now? I either leave or change my order, in which I did. Ordered 2 açaí bowls, 1 dragon fruit bowl, and a dragon fruit smoothie. Considering how much they advertise these things around the store, I had high hopes. Man was I wrong. At first glance when I received the bowls, you can instantly tell it was not made properly. It was all melted and had the consistency of water. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, I took the bowls home to freeze them. Took them back out of the freezer to give them a try. They tasted like UNDERRIPE BANANAS BLENDED WITH WATER. That's it. Everything, absolutely everything tasted like bananas. Even with actual berries floating around in this soupy bowl, it's just banana.. So disappointed... Needless to say, 3 bowls, 1 smoothie, 1 muffin and a little bag of cookies costed about $50. Mind you, the bowls are extremely small. Also, the employees couldn't even tell me whether or not the muffin contained peanuts. I truly appreciate their honestly when they said "I don't know" and "I'm not sure." But if your job is to handle food, shouldn't you at least know the basic ingredients your products contain? Especially for people with peanut/nut allergies..? read more

I finally had an opportunity to visit because my friend had to pick up something in Queens. It was worth the rush hour traffic! Around the neighborhood itself, there are plenty of free parking spots - you just have to keep your eyes open. I chose this spot specifically for the green tea shaved snow dessert. It is not on the menu behind the counter, but ask the employees and they'll know exactly what you want! It's pricey for what it is, but definitely instagrammable and worth it if you want to impress a date! We shared it between the two of us, but it could have easily been split three or four ways. We're just dessert monsters. I really appreciated the presentation of the dessert and the obvious care that was put into making the ice cream bear (the placement of chocolate chips was on point), and I also liked that it was overall a really light dessert. None of the components were too sweet, however the red bean side helps to add a little bit of additional sweetness if that is what you are looking for! As for drinks, they brew stumptown coffee here, so if you are coffee snob, you are in luck! I love the ambience of the cafe. There are plenty of seats in the front and in the back. This would definitely be a top study spot for me if I lived in the area! read more

Looking for a breakfast spot open in the morning for a quick meal before heading out of town. Early Saturday, not too many inside, so was able to walk to the front and order. Most of the things behind the glass seemed to be pre-made sandwiches and desserts (as well as against the wall. Asked the people behind the counter what's inside a couple items and they weren't sure. Blindly opted for a Donut looking bun ($?), Ham and Cheese Sandwich ($?), and a large Iced Coffee ($3.25). Bun turned out to be red bean filled - not a fan. Ham and cheese sandwich was not very good - item was old and cold. Iced coffee had a mocha-like flavor which was delicious. Trying to gather information here was not easy. The packaged items had ingredients for every possible filling, so you can't determine what's inside. This place seems more like a dessert spot; not for breakfast. read more

Wonderful shaved ice. I only tried the green tea and it was delightful. Good quality green tea creamy ice cream (yes there's a big diff between good quality and not so good quality green tea ice cream) with green tea flavored shaved ice of perfect texture with Mochi and I think slivered almonds. Also came with a side of red beans (paht) and a cream and sweet red bean paste filled fish waffle. Absolute deliciousness. I don't understand how anyone can not like this. Pricey. Parking is difficult. Seats can be hard to find because it is PACKED in the summertime and space is tight inside. read more

Came in with a group of friends on a Friday night. Seating is limited for large groups and if you're driving the area is horrible for parking. Let's get to the review of the dessert: Shaved green tea ice bowl $12+ FYI - for the price you're paying for shaved ice, you'd better be getting excellent stuff and all I have to say l, it didn't leave an impression for me. You get a cute little bear looking ball of shaved green tea with some ice cream, Mochi and red bean. It was okay. The place is good for a quick meet up with friends but given the expensive price tags on the items it can easily deter people away. I would not recommend coming here because you have so many other options in flushing! read more

I came here based on the Yelp reviews and pictures. I tried the green tea shaved ice cream and the caramel macchiato. The four stars are for the customer service, ambiance and cleanliness. This is located in a quiet neighborhood... it actually seems kind of too quiet. We didn't even realize that the coffee place is located there. The ice cream was good, not too sweet, which I like. However, it was a HUGE portion and not cheap. Maybe it is meant to be shared, but i feel like they should offer smaller portions. The ice cream fish cone was pretty stale, I was looking forward to eating it. It came with a sude of red beans, which I did not touch. The coffee beverages were amazing. I ask for very little caramel and that's what they gave me so I definitely appreciate that. I didn't think to ask if they had alternative milk options such as coconut milk or soy milk. The cafe itself was very clean...including the dining area and bathroom. The staff was very nice. I noticed a lot of people come with their laptops and sit there and enjoy. It has an extension with more seating. I'm not a local so the chances of me coming back are pretty slim, but I would highly recommend this place. read more

So, just cuz we were disappointed with chocomodo we headed here to they their shaved ice/ice flakes (at least that's what they call it here). Thanks to my yelp elf (he's very good at it). Ordered the green tea ice flakes. My! My! My! Just visually satisfying right away! Bowl was ginormous, so green and with a generous amount of red bean, mochi, roasted almonds and a scoop of green tea ice cream and the star of it was the taiyaki ice cream. And soon as you tasted it, feels like you're in Matcha heaven. Just satisfying in all aspect. Bf and I can't even finish it, kept begging him to finish the whole bowl. The place is neat, spacious, outdoor seating is even available on a nice weather. Friendly staff too. Price? Can't really compare it with anything in Queens cu the city is pricey. A very good dessert to end our night. read more

Well~I really like their shaved ice whatever summer or winter. It is big and tasty. However this time I gave 2 star, because I am so disappointed about how they treat shaved ice togo. I know ice will melt, but it was just 10mins drive, also where is my green tea ice fish cream??? Is it just disappear because the weather is too hot? Or is it melt with the ice??? So I asked them can I togo shaved ice, they said yes. However they didn't let you know how they serviced it. And you pay the same price with a very small dish... read more

Bingsoo craving fix!! Located right across the street from Murray Hill stop/LIRR. A few korean restaurants around. Decent amount of seating and there's a small quiet room in the bag to study. It's almost always packed, with people staying or on-the-go. They offer drinks/coffee and desserts. Come for their desserts! The bingsoo portion is HUGE, definitely enough for 4 people to share. Ordered the green tea. The ice was delicious - thick and milky and green tea in every bite. The mochi and almonds were a great addition, with red bean on the side. There was also green tea ice cream on top which had a great strong flavor. The only downside was the taiyaki (fish filled with ice cream). The vanilla ice cream was terrible and the cake was way too soggy. Total is a bit over $12. Would DEFINITELY come back! read more

A bingsoo to end all bingsoos--in sheer size. I got the #3 Matcha Ice Flakes, topped with mochi, almonds, & a taiyaki filled with red bean and ice cream. From the looks of the reviews and pictures it's what most people get. I wanna tell you to it's worth $14 & the pictures, but it just was okay. Highbrow: the ice flakes are fluffy, the matcha is matcha-y & overall not too sweet at all, even with the matcha ice cream scoop. It's definitely matchauthentic. The mochi is chewy and the almonds really compliment the flavors. That taiyaki is super cute while also being super delicious. I wish you could just buy it separately as a snack. The cafe is cute and spacious with an area for laptops. Lowbrow: It's pretty far into Flushing, accessible by car only. You can't mix flavors 1/2 & 1/2. The pricing is steep for a desert, BUT understandable with the presentation. At the end of the day, I really just wanted regular bingsoo with condensed milk and fruit. read more

Came to Coffee Factory randomly on a whim on a cold winter night. It was super late but Coffee Factory closes pretty late like a lot of the Korean cafes do around the area. We were in search of the best honey toast and were recommended to this new location. Right near the LIRR, Coffee Factory, like most of the Korean cafes, makes various espresso drinks and bubbly, sweet drinks. They also serve some desserts, including honey toast with whip cream. I ordered a fizzy grapefruit drink with our honey toast and dined in. The famous grapefruit soda drink was good but too "summery" for the weather. I suggest ordering a typical white mocha or coffee on a cold winter day. The honey toast was good but a little dry, so we had to smother it with whip cream. It was still delicious. There seems to be a couple of tables for dining on with friends. Seems to be a great place to catch up in. read more
