Lazy Sundaes had delicious drinks, perfect for dessert or to cool off on a hot day. The DUMBO location is bright and airy, with high ceilings and a whimsical vibe with all the different colors and decorations. The menu takes classic flavors and puts them into all sorts of combinations, with strawberry, matcha, and hojicha all making an appearance. You can get espresso-based drinks, or go wild with boba/jelly drinks. They even have bingsoo sundaes to try, and given I had just come from a workout, I had to get one. I tried the coffee bingsoo sundae, and it was excellent. Really refreshing, loaded with goodies, and infused with iced coffee for a little caffeine boost. And, of course, not to sweet. Definitely a great option for drinks/dessert in the neighborhood. read more

There are very few places where you can contemplate the meaning of life and sip on a perfectly roasted hojicha. Lazy Sundaes happens to be one of them. From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in danger. Cat-themed branding, pastel interior AND niche tea options? My credit card practically left my wallet on its own. I'm a complete sucker for this aesthetic, and they knew exactly what they were doing. The hojicha latte is a revelation. Deeply roasty, slightly nutty, and smooth. The ube latte is also fantastic. Creamy, earthy, beautifully purple - a drink that tastes like soft lighting. The atmosphere is comfortable enough to fall asleep in. Perfect for working, journaling, or simply just a nap. 5/5. read more

a great little spot for matcha and other fun drinks and dessert! I appreciated the variety of creative drink options and enjoyed my strawberry matcha, which was light and refreshing and not too sweet. the ordering could have been smoother, as all the kiosks upfront were broken, but the drink arrived quickly. there's some nice seating and small trinkets for sale in the cafe as well. would come back again! read more

Stopped by a couple of times this week to grab a matcha latte and a hojicha latte. The matcha was a bit on the weaker side in terms of taste and the staff didn't know what brand of matcha it was - so if you're a serious matcha aficionado this may not be the place for you - but if you're just looking for a solid iced drink on a hot day with all the fixings (loved the variety of add-ons like chia and lychee jelly) this can be your go-to spot ! I was also intrigued by the signage that said "hot boba tea" as I've never had hot boba before but alas their machine was broken and they couldn't make hot drinks read more

My husband and I came here after dinner at the Time Out Market. There are kiosks to place your order on as soon as you walk inside, which is super convenient. I got the Rose Matcha Latte and really enjoyed it! It was the perfect combination of flowery without overpowering the taste of the matcha. Delicious! The interior is very cute and Instagram worthy and the staff was very friendly, but I'd steer clear of the wicker chairs and just sit on the regular seating they have available. The cushions of the wicker chairs looked super dirty. read more

This is a cute little café in Brooklyn. They serve bubble tea and desserts although when I went, they didn't have a lot of ingredients for desserts so I got the bubble tea. In terms of ordering, there are several kiosks at the front where you can order, and then you go inside and wait for your order. There is a good amount of seating inside and the vibe is nice and spacious. The drinks are pretty good too. read more

Hands down the prettiest bubble tea cafe I've ever been to! Immaculate vibes. A new favorite go-to spot in Dumbo, especially as it's conveniently located right around the corner from the F train station. The high ceilings, pastel-colored walls and quiet patrons working on their laptops make this spot so warm and welcoming. I came with friends this weekend and we spent over 2 hours here, just chatting and catching up over BBT - it was such a wholesome evening. Since it was pretty late in the day, I went with the decaf lavender black w/ aloe jelly - it was really good! My bf went with the black sesame latte - it was a bit on the sweeter side but still super tasty and aromatic. Love the quality and variety of flavors - I was already a fan of their LES location but this brick and mortar takes it to another level. The service was also lovely - we had stayed past closing and they never rushed us out as they were cleaning up. Instead, they offered us some leftover teas from the day! We were so grateful and our friends ended up buying some cute merch (reusable drink holder/sleeve). Will be back every time I'm in the area, guaranteed. read more

I came here for dessert after having lunch in the area with my friends. I had never gone to a Lazy Sundaes but I thought I should check out the DUMBO location since this one had the most seating. You can order on the kiosks in front. I ordered the seasonal special yakgwa bingsoo (yakgwa, red bean, mochi, soybean powder, condensed milk, shaved ice). They didn't have mochi so I ordered tapioca instead. The bingsoo was quite large, definitely can share with someone else. The yakgwa (deep fried honey cookie) was delicious. The shaved ice was light and soft. I'll definitely be back, I have to try their lattes next time! read more

Newly opened in Dumbo -- finally a bubble tea spot in this area. Interior design is so minimal and pretty! I came during their birthday promo for $2 classic/jasmine bubble milk teas and $3 birthday bingsoo sundaes. If you like Boba Guys bubble tea, then this is the same concept. Tea is strong but the milk flavor is not as prevalent. Bubbles are soft and chewy. The birthday bingsoo was good upon first scoop but went downhill as you scoop towards middle. The bingsoo shaved ice itself lacks flavor and the first scoop was yummy because the condensed milk was on top. Wish they distributed the condensed milk throughout the shaved ice for better flavor. You can order in the front or via a kiosk near entrance of the store. read more

The cutest cafe around! The DUMBO location is a block away from the York St (F) station but on a relatively quiet block of Front St, right next to the new Lifetime Fitness. I believe they're still in their soft opening phase but the space is gorgeous, with lots of comfy seating and cozy lighting. I stopped by for their second birthday promotion and although there was a hiccup with ordering on the kiosks, I was able to order in the front without any issues.

I'm glad they allow you to choose if you want milk or not and always thankful when places have lychee jelly which is my fav! The inside is so cute and perfect to sit and hang or take some pics. The drink itself was delicious and sweet, not artificial tasting at all. Definitely worth stopping by! read more

This location is huge for anyone who is in the neighborhood and need a spot to relax, do some work or hang out! Definitely foresee this shop to be packed, especially in the summer time as it is right at the heart of DUMBO! Ordered my usual Jasmine Milk tea and Rose black for my husband and the drinks were made just how we remember having them in the past. Nice and chewy bobas, and great tasting tea! You now have the option to place your order in their kiosks which I think are such a smart ideas- can help alleviate lines. When we were there, we were the only ones so from the time we ordered to receiving the drinks, it was a super quick stop. Will be back here for more drinks in the future! read more

When you first walk in you order your drink on an ipad then you go down a ramp and then wait for your drink. The boba was a good texture, not too sweet. I got the ube latte and it had a good flavor, not too strong and not too sweet. Staff was friendly and wait time was good I eally liked the drink and the atmosphere.

They have the best Hojicha latte! I have tried Japanese cafes around the city and Lazy Sundaes has the most flavorful Hojicha options even without any sweeteners. Their bingsoo is also delicious but a bit on the pricier side for its size. Ordering through the tablets upon entering the store was helpful as the menu could get overwhelming with many options. I also like that they have fun seasonal items. read more

I wish I can say I liked it, but I really didn't. I was craving for a hojicha latte and there's not many places that offers good ones like in Japan. Thought I would give this a try reading the good reviews. I stirred it well but it just tasted like sweet milk to me. I asked for less sweet and it was still very sweet. There's no hojicha taste at all. I felt like I paid almost $7 for a sweet milk, it was bad... only extra star for the store aesthetics. read more

I come to Lazy Sundaes for the muscat oolong. I ordered it with oat milk and crystal jelly (50% sweetness is the suggested amount and it was good). The do not charge extra for oat milk. The location is right by Dumbo and all the happenings in that area. It's a large space with enough seating. The vibes are chill and a good spot to come and rest after walking along the water. They have free Wi-Fi too. Or a good place to grab a drink before your walk ;) They had about 4 bobaristas working on a Sunday afternoon so I didn't have to wait too long for my order.

I can't say enough good things about Lazy Sundaes! I was planning a work event in DUMBO from across the country and looking for a bubble tea place close to my event venue that caters. Lazy Sundaes was the first one I clicked on because, honestly, I think the name is super cute. Very glad I chose to work with Lazy Sundaes, because their team was very responsive and helpful right from the start! Big shout-out to Juniper, Keri, Tammy, and Rebekah. They were all amazing, from helping me pick out out the best flavors and toppings, to their flexibility with my last minute registrations, advice on the best set-up for my party, and the day of delivery! Juniper was my main contact person -- They were extremely friendly and helpful throughout the process, and their communication was flawless. Aside from the preparation and catering, the bubble tea itself was delicious! All of my guests raved about it and complimented the choice to support a local business. It was really fun to have this little 'build your own bubble tea' assembly set up. Cute and creative! Highly recommend Lazy Sundaes whether you're planning an event, or you want to hang out for awhile at their comfortable cafe, or you're just strolling by and want to grab a quick tea. I'll definitely be hitting them up next time I'm in town :) read more

In search of a cafe to kill some time in downtown Brooklyn, we came across Lazy Sundae on yelp. We made our orders at kiosks at the front of the cafe, and the interior was very beautiful and minimalistic. There was a very nice and comfy seating area with outlets, which is perfect for anyone who wants to get some work done. I ordered the mango bingsoo and my friend ordered the strawberry milk latte. I requested that the bingsoo not have mochi in it, but I was sad to still discover mochi at the top. Other than that, the bingsoo was enjoyable and the cafe was really cute! read more

After my first visit: This is my favorite ramen restaurant on the planet. It's my perfect…read morerestaurant - but not because of the ramen. Because of the desserts! First - Tonkotsu (pork) ramen was perfectly balanced. The broth was deeply flavorful but not heavy, almost like an 80/20 hybrid of tonkotsu and shoyu (soy sauce) ramen. Noodles were springy and not overcooked, and the roasted pork had a slightly smoky flavor and was flavorful itself, not just protein and texture like many other ramen joints. We also had the edamame appetizer - super flavorful and addictive, and we wound up ordering a second one (for our party of four) after devouring the first one. Now here's why it's my favorite ramen restaurant- my favorite dessert is banana pudding, and Tonchin's signature Tokyo banana dessert is an elevated banana pudding that makes magnolia bakery look like amateur hour. Plenty of fresh banana and a carmelized banana on the side with a balanced pudding that's not too heavy - this is peak banana pudding. So it has my favorite ramen and favorite dessert. But can it do better? Yes. It can also have...my second favorite dessert! Tonchin has excellent shave ice desserts that reminded me of Korean bingsu. We had the strawberry and it was fresh, bright and had lots of strawberry flavor. Delightful. Service was excellent and the ambiance of the space is dark and elevated.

I've had them before so I knew what to expect but it was way too salty, less flavorful. Had a very nice flavor, the salt overpowered it though. I tasted mushroom. The sauce stuck to the noodles well and the noodles were delicious. My daughter and husband ordered the spicy ramen and they said it was very very good. Couldn't decipher distinctly from other top notch ramen so it wasn't knock your socks off. From now on I'll order the base dish when I go places so I can judge better. The gyoza was cooked very nicely, came sizzling and the bun with meat was a little ugly, it looked boiled and unappetizing. The taste was just okay. The topping on it was notable. The waitress didn't help us at all when ordering. We weren't bowled over with the food, although it was noted the meat in the ramen was high level. It hit the spot but I will try other places in the search for our "return forever" ramen place.

This is my go-to bathroom + sweet treat spot in KTown! There's typically a line, but it usually…read moremoves quickly and there's usually free seating as well. They have a water dispenser, two locking bathrooms, and plenty of outlets, so I already have a very positive view of Grace Street as a good place to rest. The food is alright. It's a bit overpriced and the teas are not good quality. However, the desserts are delicious. I usually split a slice of basque cheesecake with my friends. The regular and matcha have both been good in my experience. I don't like chocolate cake, so I haven't tried that variety. I wish the pumpkin was available in the smaller size too! I've tried their boba, and it isn't good. The hot teas are okay but not great. They're pretty much just syrup and milk. I would avoid the drinks and just get the desserts! I haven't personally tried the bingsoo, but I've heard good things. The waffle is alright--all in all, come here to recharge and for the basque cheesecake!

Backyard setting with al covered picnic style benches and tables. The owner is super sweet and she's now joined by her daughter. They also have hot dogs on the menu. The only downside to this place is that the hours of operation are inconsistent. The owners said it's because she recently a promotion at her regular job and had to switch up her schedule. So sometimes we drive by when they're supposed to be open ,only to see a lock on the gate. It's a seasonal shop as it is so if closed on a hot summer day it can be a bit disappointing but I get the reason . Overall the season closes just around Thanksgiving. Cash only. If you're lucky to catch them open it's a refreshing flavor filled treat.

Wow !!!! A little oasis in ENY Brooklyn …read more..... Been passing this Hawaiian Shave Ice Stand for the past few weeks finally had to stop today to get some relief form this heat .... Just take a look at this lil Stand, it's so welcoming nicely decorated with beautiful flowers and tropical colors a real Hawaiian theme going on which makes you feel like your on Vacation .... O, did I mention that they have Island music playing steel drums and all that Caribbean music which makes you forget all your worries !!! They provide shaded seating under a gazebo and what I really enjoyed was the water misters to keep you kool while waiting in line ..... Finally it was my turn to be served and this nice lady greeted me with a friendly smile and knew it was my first time here... she was so nice she explained how they make fresh snow as they call it, she actually made me a snow ball in the middle of July ... lol They shave block ice in a machine which turns it into fresh fallen snow ... then their flavor syrups get poured on top and the snow catches all the syrups just like it's gonna catch you !!! Over 100 flavor combinations to choose from & create .... I'm sold and will be back here with my girlfriend tomorrow night !!! Great spot for a lil date night .. Her name was Loreen and she let me sample a few flavors and every one she suggested was off the chain delicious!!! I finally decided to go with a large Hawaiian Sun Set which has guava,mango,pineapple & strawberry ... O and don't forget to add cream it's make the ice more creamy & delish !!! It's worth the .50 cents extra .... After hanging out here eating my ice I noticed that they serve Sabrett all beef hot dogs with all the yum yums !!! Sabrett Onions & Sauerkraut... I had to give them a try ... I went with the special 2 dogs & a soda for $ 5.50 great deal ... The dogs are fresh and had a nice snap when I bit into them... the onion & kraut was on point !!!! Glad I stopped in .... also got to see how the Lil kids really enjoy this shave ice stand .... A great spot to bring the family ... the kids will definitely love this place .... Thanks Loreen for the great service & awesome Shave Ice & delicious hot dogs brought back great memories from when I was a kid ... I will definitely be back & refer all my friends & family as well as my coworkers....

I haven't been here in a hot second (I'm talking years) and finally decided to come for some shaved…read moreice on a warm day. There's plenty of tables to sit at and there's also a restroom. We tried the melon shaved ice $22 for the large which was a bit pricy but it was quite delicious. We were worried that the large might be too much for two people but honestly we were able to finish it without a problem. The melon pieces were sweet, the ice is milk based so it was creamy and flavorful on its own. We barely used the condensed milk that it came with (and we loved how they put it on the side for us instead). At the bottom of the shaved ice was cereal pieces and mochi which gave a nice different texture. We also tried their drinks specifically their blue lemonade and mango-ade which I thought was just ok. The highlight is definitely their shaved ice. Definitely go for the large as the small seemed much smaller and for double the price, you can get almost 2-3x more. Overall: it's a great place to grab a shaved ice and relax . The atmosphere is chill and you can stay without feeling rushed.

This was definitely anything but a Sweet Moment…read more I came here fully influenced by Instagram and TikTok. The shaved ice looked dreamy, fluffy, and full of flavor. What I got instead was a cup of sadness with commitment issues. The shaved ice somehow had no flavor. None. I have had ice cubes straight from my freezer with more personality. Easily the most disappointing dessert I have had in NYC, and I have been living here my whole life, so please take that as you will. I kept waiting for the "sweet moment" to arrive and it never did. Just me, flavorless ice, and regret. If you are craving dessert, keep walking. This was a moment, yes, but sweet it was not.

All 3 items were refreshing, not overly sweet, and comforting in a good way. Like childhood in HK. It's crazy because when we were in Taipei, there are plenty of shops that sells this type of dessert BUT goodness, finding a delicious one here in the states, just a few years ago, like... treasure hunting.

Not only is the food awesome - I ordered a ramen, plain hot dog, and halo-halo shaved ice (addictively good) - but bonus stars to the staff who were sooo sweet! The Hawaiian style shaved ice and home-made ice cream are top notch. The ice cream is rich and delicious, with some unique flavors, and the shaved ice is very fine - fluffy and evenly slushy in texture and sweetness, unlike the inferior versions where you run into bland chips of ice. The toppings are yum too. The ramen noodles are springy, settled in a savory light broth. For a non-prestige grade ramen, I have no complaints. I also want to acknowledge the lovely hospitality. My child was in a tantrum-y mood and went to sulk by himself in a corner. Seeing the pouty little grump in a small fit, the girls at the counter coaxed him over with ice cream and stickers, which he of course eagerly accepted, pleased by the attention and confection, and was soon back to his endearing self. So I really appreciated their extra kindness! This is a fab joint for a quick-casual or just a perfect sweet treat!

The rice cake was good, but the sporks they give you are completely useless against the rice cakes. The mango cake was about the blandest cake I've ever had in my life. One good thing is that, at least on the upper level, they do not rush you out whatsoever. You can literally stay for as long as you want.
