One of my favorites, although you should definitely always come with at least a friend or two to share as the portion sizes are pretty big. Delicious bingsu and amazing bubble waffle as well. I haven't tried the toasts yet as they look pretty dense, but I am looking forward to trying their apple pie one. You order at the counter and find a seat inside, which so far hasn't been an issue but it does get crowded! Overall a lovely spot to grab dessert and chat with friends! read 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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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 . read more

My friends and I wanted to grab a sweet treat after dinner and we decided on Lumi Dessert Cafe since they had a variety of items on the menu. There was milk teas, fruit teas, coffee, bingsu, honey toast, and bubble waffles. My boyfriend and I decided on the Strawberry Banana Bubble Waffle to share between the two of us since I was too full to want to eat my own sweet treat. It was good, but it is debatable if it is $16 good. The original bubble waffle they sell is $6.99. It was SO cold inside the cafe. It was kind of unbearable, so as soon as everyone finished their drinks and desserts we left. read more

ZOMG, you guys! This was my first time at Lumi's and also trying the Bingsu. I wish they had location near me, I would definitely become a regular, easily. They have parking that was pretty easy since we came late - they close at 11pm so we got there at 9:30 - their parking is also underground - we had no problems finding a spot. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, we opted to sit inside. Once we got there, there was only 1 other customer so I was able to order right away. They have a display case that shows what they have to offer so you'll know what to expect when you get your order. They have more than Bingsu - they also have Golden Toast, Bubble Waffles, Coffee, Milk Teas etc. so if you're not a Bingsu fan, you can definitely find something else that tickles your pickle. Their Bingsu come in 3 sizes - Mini, Single and Regular. I ended up ordering the Single Banana Crumble Bingsu ---- &&&& ZOMG, IT. WAS. SO. GOOD. I am a fan, 10 out of 10 would recommend! I am a sweet tooth so I pretty much finished it all. The Regular size looks like it be a good size to share. We left around 10:30, so we took the back way to re-enter the underground garage without having to walk all the way around - FYI! All in all, my first time having Bingsu & definitely not my last! read more

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. read more

Cute little dessert /drinks cafe. I got the shaved ice bingsoo which was great. I will take down one star because the parking situation is terrible. You have to park on the street or across the street which is limited. And there is no nearby crosswalk. read more

The service was quick and the area is nicely lit. The space has a lot of windows. Getting to and from the cafe from the parking is really easy. There's a free parking garage. You'll have to leave from the back of the cafe to get back to the parking garage. The yuzu tea was nice and warm and perfectly sweetened. Will definitely come back read more

Have been here twice, and told myself I would try the dessert the second time I came, but ended up just getting drinks again. We came on a late Friday night, and it was pretty busy and packed. I got the Honey Yuzu Herbal Tea with rainbow jelly and my bf got the Lychee Jasmine Green Tea. The drinks were good. Our friends got some milk teas, and they really liked it. The only complaint was the drink sizes were small. Next time, we will need to try a dessert. read more

There is limited parking inside the building! friendly staff and a beautiful cafe inside! read more

*This review is purely an experience review. We did not eat anything here. We walked in maybe 20-30 mins before closing and they were completely out of most of the things which was disappointing. We were willing to try something else out of their menu but they mentioned we couldn't be seated. The entire reason we came out was so we could socialize outside of homes. It would've been ok if they mentioned their closing time and asked us to be out by then. There were people still seated so it wasn't great to hear that we couldn't be seated. We left and I haven't been back and not sure if I will be. read more

The best shaved ice cream I've ever had. They give such large portions I was so delighted. I had a particularly bad day so finding this little hidden gem at the end of my night really lifted my spirits!!

Wouldn't have thought there to be a cute dessert cafe where it's located in bel-red but was pleasantly surprised! Came here to try their boba a few different times and really enjoy their drinks. The only thing is that one time I went here maybe 30 minutes after they opened around 12:30 and they didn't have their boba prepared so I had to have my milk tea without the pearls which was disappointing so recommend you getting there an hour after it opens just in case. I also had their chocolate bingsoo dessert (the larger size) and shared it, and it's a pretty good portion. The ice itself was so creamy and would highly recommend trying if you're looking for something cool/refreshing and sweet. There's parking in the garage with a few spots reserved from Lumi customers - it's around the side street to the cafe and you have the drive in a bit and loop around inside to get to the indoor parking. There's also outdoor parking available. Cafe is located in an apartment plaza complex. Some good seating available inside and really nice vibe, where you can either hang out with friends or even study/read. I've got before 2pm and it's never been busy before. Overall would recommend this place for boba/bingsoo/a place to study if you wanted! read more

It feels like Christmas! Walking into the store, you can hear Christmas music playing, and with the cold weather, the environment feels warm and cozy. We were greeted with a dessert display showcasing the types of desserts they offer, which was nice because we could see what each dessert looked like. They have a wide range of drinks and desserts, so it was nice to have multiple options. The bingsoo comes in three different sizes, and the portions are great for sharing. Overall, the environment and desserts are excellent. Plus, they stay open late, making it a perfect spot to hang out with friends or enjoy a late-night dessert. Rating: *3/5 mango bingsoo: I had better bingsoo and I felt like it was interesting how the mango ice cream had a hit of lavender. * 4/5 lychee green tea: not bad but it's pretty sweet read more

Desserts here are very aesthetically appealing, so I decided to hit up this place with a friend. There seems to be a nearby visitor parking garage to get here, though I settled for tough-to-find street parking since it was a Friday evening. The place has both outside and inside seating, and the inside is clean and kinda modern-like. Servers are very friendly here and give you very recommendations if you ask them. Before you order, you can see a preview of the golden toast and bingsu desserts and how big they are behind a glass full of mannequins of the desserts. They also serve milk tea, fruit tea, bubble waffles and coffee here. I got the golden toast with mango and berries, and my friend got their dark oolong milk tea. The toast was pretty HUGE, and also accurate with the display at the front. There are mango pieces, a scoop of mango ice cream on the top, a mix of blueberries and raspberries sprinkled all over and some whipped cream on the side. Needless to say, this was really tasty and the mangoes were very fresh too! My friend's dark oolong milk tea was all right, and it didn't look like there were choices on the size. Great, chill place to hang and talk, and have some huge and Instagram-worthy dessert! read more

Newish Korean dessert shop serving bingsu and dessert toasts. I came in to get one of their big "golden toast" dessert cubes, but saw a new item on the menu. A Korean style dessert toast. I thought what the heck. I'll give it a try. It's two pieces of milk bread with a big layer of mochi in the middle drizzle honey. On top is a scoop of ice cream and malted dessert powder. It was okay. I probably should have stuck to the Golden toast cube. read more

Dessert cafe with a big menu for different flavors and textures. Bubble waffles, binsu, milk tea drinks and sweet toast. Pick from multiple fresh fruits and sherbet ice cream. Although they have a parking garage stalls are limited. Manager said you could park in front for short time, but keep an eye on your car. The street parking is deceiving. It appears that there are stalls with no red curb markings, however there are no parking signs on each end of the curb. Outdoor seating is available. I will come again to try new flavors. The cashier is friendly, place clean. May need a bigger set up to clean up dishes. This dessert place opens late. Visited again for birthdate dessert. Out side tables available. We shared multiple Binsu desserts. Asked for extra spoons and bowls. Each were delivered to us to our outside table. They do need to get a better bigger clean up area. It is too small and need to have a clean area outside too. Having 2 separated areas - 1 counter/table with clean utensils and the 2nd counter to dispose the dirty dishes. read more

Was somewhat frustrated by our trip to this location. We went in the early afternoon and they had already run out of 3 or so of the bingsoo flavors. After our order had already been started, we were told that another major ingredient for the injeolmi (rice cakes) was missing - though they did substitute in ice cream, it just wasn't quite the same. We also were only given literally 2 almond slices for garnish, although the display made it look like it was meant to be a main feature. Bingsoo in itself was good, great texture and taste. Sparkling peach tea was SUPER sweet even after some of the ice had melted. We had to take it home to water down further. I've had better luck at other locations, perhaps this was just an off day. read more

I give this cute dessert shop 5 stars! The bubble waffles are delicious, perfect crunchiness but still soft and gummy on the inside. Kiddo is allergic to berries and they were able to replace it with bananas. Since they came with sprinkle nuts and it didn't say in the menu, we were able to eat it. They quickly remake it with no fuss. I definitely will return. Love love love this cute little gem. The dining room looks bright and had a water station. The only downsides I say is their parking. The parking garage fits only compact cars. I ended up found street parking. read more

I tried the banana crumble bingsu, which was delicious! It was well-made, had just the proper amount of sweetness, and was the ideal dessert. Please be aware that because they are so popular, they run out of alternatives quickly. If you're lucky, you might get what you want; if not, I would advise ordering what's available; you won't be disappointed. which is how, we ordered the banana one and enjoyed it. read more

The berry bingsu was good and refreshing, but looks nothing like the photos/example. There was a lack of berries on it, but it was still good. Also came with a side of condensed milk, but it was already sweet enough as is. I didn't love the nutella bubble waffle and didn't try the banana box toast my friend ordered. Get here when it's not busy or else you will be standing around eating your dessert. There is a lack of tables...esp when there's more than 3-4 parties. They do have a few tables outside, but the weather doesn't cooperate during the fall/winter months in the PNW. read more

Really like the options they had for dessert. Though they have three main items: shaved ice, toast, and bubble waffle, they have a lot of different creation/flavors to pick from. We tried their mango shaved ice, and their banana crumble bubble waffle. My kids devoured it so fast, I'm lucky I even got to try some! Bubble waffle was a great texture, but I also believe this is because we ate it right away. Good, creaminess for the shaved ice, and good flavors too. The condensed milk is served on the side, so you can have better control of the sweetness level. Service was good, quick and friendly. Price is on the steeper side. I do wish they had some savory options. Like fries/y fries. Just something to cut the sweetness. I would come back to try their bubble tea. Nom nom. Good option here. There's also retail parking in their building. read more

4/27/24- store was not prepared. They opened at 3p. We were 2nd customers of the day. - No more strawberries - No more boba - Opened April 1, 2024. - Original location in Lynnwood. Food- *Taro Bingsu- *Boba Bingsu- no more boba, they substituted rainbow jelly. -Middle of both Bingsu with red bean. - Both good flavors. *Lychee Jasmine Tea with boba- substitute with side of rainbow jelly. Service- only 2 people, wifi system down with growing crowd. - did not feel there was enough prep done before store opened. - Guy said it was unusual for the crowds (today was also opening of the light rail). Ambiance- cute and clean. Variety of table and bar seating. Location- in an apartment complex, with garage. Free parking. Back door to store was not opened from garage. Had to walk around. * they normally do open the back door. Value- pricey. The volume of food placed on bingsu was not abundant, and definitely not representative of the fake food in display case. Recommend- it has potential and opportunities for improvement. -Overall experience today was disappointing, but empathize and optimistic they will improve. Suspect off day. read more
