    Banana milk with toppings
    Nune H.

    Very cute and cleanly little cafe! It is a bit less accessible as it doesn't have parking right out front, you have to find a garage and walk to it. The staff was super nice and patient with us. There is plenty of places to sit. Menu covers toasts, bubble waffles, bingsu, teas and coffees with toppings. Everything we tried tasted really good. Portions were large, definitely enough to share. We want to visit again to try more

    I made my return to Lumi Cafe recently and was pleased to discover they have maintained the same high-standard for their desserts, drinks, and ambiance. I especially enjoyed their new seasonal mango cheesecake bingsu and apple pie toast. They may have the best bingsu texture in town! They use a self-service model for food collection, utensils/water, and bussing dishes - which most diners are good about, but the staff could do a better job with wiping down tables and making sure tables are cleared and utensils are topped up. I was there for over 2 hours and they ran out of metal spoons and paper napkins by the time I went to order a second drink (about an hour in). Aside from this detail, they offer a great third space for folks to hang out in. I saw groups of friends, families, and co-working people come through, and everyone seemed to enjoy their visit.

    We've been to Lumi in Lynnwood, but it's our first time to have desserts here in their branch in Redmond. Just like in Lynnwood, their desserts are awesome. We had the Taro Bing Soo and the Bubble Waffle with strawberries and bananas---both yummy. The place is large enough, in a corner of a building. There's a counter where you order and they call you to pick it up. You bus your own tables, which is ok. There are 2 restrooms in the back. There's ample covered parking which is easily accessible to the restaurant. Good dessert place.

    I love this place! Took our friends to have dessert after our lunch. We were looking forward to haven't mango bingsu. Got there and mango was not available. Not sure why, but maybe too early in the season. We did have the taro bingsu and strawberry and banana waffle. We shared them among 5, maybe we could have one more, haha. First time at this location. Parking in the building easily available. Clean place. Lots of tables.

    Nice little dessert shop in the Bel-Red area. LUMI is located in the retail area of the Modera apartment complex off Bel-Red Road. A handful of retail parking spots are available in the underground garage, otherwise there's some street parking around. I got the mini size mango cheesecake bingsoo, and was surprised by how good it was! I will say it was a bit on the sweeter side though. Portion size was quite generous for "mini", I feel like it could definitely have been shared by 2 people. Service was friendly but minimal, only interaction is when ordering. After that you will need to get your order when it's ready, get utensils, etc, and then bus your dishes on your own. The cafe is cozy with a handful of tables and some bar like seating next to the window.

    Most yummy bingsu I've had. Had plenty of options with desserts and drinks. Pricing is reasonable. A great place to stop by for desserts with good outdoor and indoor space. Service was pleasant.

    Great to see this place in business for "so many" years. Parking is still slightly odd, but once you figure it out, it's all good. Nice contrast to Hawaiian and other shaved ice offerings. This Korean "bingsu" is so much more sophisticated, starting with how much finer the ice shavings are. Asian levels of sugar/sweetness which is marginally healthier and a good mix of other ingredients, including the equivalent of ice cream to help you get over the fact that you're eating flavored (frozen) water. =) Service is outstanding and the sitting area - and bathroom - is clean and nicely laid out.

    Strawberry bingsu
    Katrina D.

    Got the strawberry bingsu. Quite a refreshing flavor with real strawberry and strawberry syrup. First bingsu place where I've seen that. I love that it comes with ice cream and that they offer different sizes! Inside was pretty packed on a Saturday night. They have a few outdoor sitting available, but it would've been nice if there was a heater to keep warm on cold nights like when I went.

    Banana pudding bingsu and mixed berry bingsu
    Cameron E.

    I recently visited LUMI Dessert Cafe and had a great experience. Even though it was super busy when we went, the staff was very friendly and helpful and made sure we were taken care of. We ordered two bingsu. I got the banana pudding one and my girlfriend got the mixed berry one and both were delicious. The portions were really good and everything was served in a cute cup which made it even better. The atmosphere inside was super cute and everything was very clean. Overall, it was a really nice place to hang out and get dessert, and I would definitely go back.

    Mango Cheesecake Bingsu
    Kamleshwar C.

    My kids love this place. We always try fruity flavors and mango is our all time favorite. Place is inviting and very clean. Little pricey but it's different experience to enjoy desert. Condensed Milk is best as topping. Service was Quick and we even asked for extra condensed milk and they were more than happy to offer it.

    Matcha bingsu
    Katherine G.

    We came here for some dessert after dinner, and I love trying new bingsu places! When we arrived it wasn't too busy and were lucky enough to get a table, but around an hour after it was packed. We got the matcha bingsu to share amongst the 4 of us, which was the perfect amount since we were stuffed from dinner. I appreciate how the ice itself was matcha flavored, as opposed to other places that just add the powder. The red bean was also delicious as usual, and the mochi chunks were also great. Overall, a solid dessert spot!

    Bubble waffle
    Nikki C.

    After dinner, we stumbled upon this little dessert gem--and we're so glad we did! The parking was a bit of a scavenger hunt (only two reserved spots), but there seemed to be some street parking nearby if you're up for the hunt. The place itself is simple but super welcoming, and the smell alone could pull you in from a block away. Right when you walk in, there's a display of the menu that made it really easy to order--and even harder to decide because everything looked so good. We ended up with a bingsu and a bubble waffle (the latter for my 8-year-old, who inhaled it so fast I barely got a taste). The bingsu was refreshing, delicious, and looked like a work of art--almost too pretty to eat... almost. Definitely planning to come back to try more flavors. We may have just found our new favorite spot!

    We ordered 3 flavors and the strawberry cheesecake was my favorite but they were all delicious and the shaved milky ice was so smooth and creamy. Very cute place though only had 3 tables and it was packed when I went on a rainy night. We ordered 3 singles to share amongst 4 people and the sizes are pretty big and we could have probably gotten 2. 3 singles came out to almost $50 so it's def a bit pricey for what is mainly ice but I think it's worth it for how unique it is and would go again .

    Although Meet Fresh is Taiwanese, it's one of my favorite Chinese dessert spots because it offers…read moreso many traditional hot and cold desserts that I grew up enjoying. I especially love that you can find things like grass jelly (仙草), tofu pudding (豆花), taro, taro balls (芋圓), and sweet dessert soups (糖水). My favorite drink is their winter melon tea with mini taro balls. I'll take those over tapioca boba any day! I've always thought tapioca boba was overrated and never quite understood why it became so incredibly popular in the U.S. The taro balls have much more flavor and character to me. Another thing I really appreciate about this location is that both the regular and mini taro balls are made in-house. They have that wonderfully chewy texture that makes them perfect in both the drinks and desserts. If you enjoy traditional Chinese-style desserts, especially grass jelly, tofu pudding, taro, and sweet soups, Meet Fresh is definitely worth trying. Service is quick and there are multiple self service kiosk. The location is also very spacious and there is a wonderful mural painted on the main wall.

    I went to Meet Fresh for dessert. It's located in a shopping center that has a lot of other Asian…read morerestaurants. So plenty of parking. I ordered a custom grass jelly that came with taro balls and a scoop of ice cream. It was pretty good. It was alittle busy when I went and ended up waiting like 15-20 mins for my order. I will say that the contents are packed well because when this thing flew from my passenger seat when I hit the breaks- nothing spilt. While waiting for my order you can see the enthusiasm and joy of the employees. Even in the late hours with a few minutes before closing they were smiling- and it was just pretty good customer service all around. Taro balls were soft and chewy. Grass jelly was firm and fresh. Perfect sweetness. I would come back again.
