We got the K street toast and rice cake bingsoo. Rice cake bingsoo was sooo good and fluffy. The K street toast was nothing special and we found it to be somewhat bland. This place has a decent amount of seating and didn't seem too busy during the weekdays.
I come across this place through Yelp and the presentation of the bingsu looks really pretty there. However, it looks like they don't do that pretty presentation anymore. It's kinda expensive but the portion is huge; like this 'small' size can feed 3-4 people. This one has mango, cheesecake bites, mochi, and condensed milk. The cheesecake bites can feel a bit too much after a couple bites.
Came here on a weekend and maybe because it was still a little early so it wasn't too busy. It's a cute little cafe with comfortable seating. I ordered their mango cheesecake bingsu and was pleasantly surprised how good it was. The milk based bingsu was creamy, smooth and fluffy. The mangos were ripe and sweet. I didn't really care for the cheesecake as I thought it was a little too sweet and hard. I also didn't add the condensed milk as it also made it a little too sweet to my liking. The only down side is they make it fresh and maybe because it was still early and they are short of staff so I still waited a good 15-20mins for my order to arrive even though they weren't that busy. But I would still come back to try out other items on their menu.
We went for the shaved ice cream- it was just OK. It's cute inside but when it's busy it's a bit difficult to find seating. It was nice that they offered their shaved ice as the regular plate portion or in a cup portion; we chose the cup portion so that it's easier for the kids to eat but ofcourse my 5yr old still spilled it Parking is not that easy but we were able to find one on the street. They do offer parking spots in front of the place but they had no spots when we arrived. The mango shaved ice came with cheesecake cubes as well and it was good; so was the strawberry shaved ice and the original red bean. It's not the typical refreshing shaved ice but more on the creamier side. It was still good but I probably won't go back again. Note-a friend ordered the tiramisu shaved ice and said it was amazing. But I haven't tried it myself.
Tempted to give this place 4 stars because of slow service and lack of available parking, but giving it 5 stars to boost the business. Love their Bingsu's (milk-based Korean ice dessert), which says a lot for someone who's not normally much of a bingsu fan. However, be prepared to wait about 10-15 minutes or so for it! Interior is clean and modern. Seating availability is inconsistent, but mostly good. I was able to sit together with a group of 7 people, but also had a day I had difficulty finding seating for 2 people... Overall, I enjoy their bingsu (and shake) enough to keep coming here! Fav so far is their Mango Cheesecake Bingsu, and their Oreo Bingsu is a close second!
Fairly newish, we tried Miel after seeing photos on IG and was intrigued by the deconstructed bingsu. What can I say but the mango cheesecake bingsu is really good!!!!!we got the bowl ($16) and it was served on a platter shaped like a log, with 3 little side "dishes"- but those that would normally be served with bingsu : condensed milk, sweet red beans, and vanilla ice cream. The mango bingsu is flavored in the actual ice and not shaved ice with syrup. Creamy and very light and flaky. The bubble teas were ok, I don't think we would come here for those again, they were mid. But do come for their bingsu! Seating is spacious and clean, outdoor seating area is tight but clean as well. They also have coffees and pastries on the counter.
New cafe in the area - this use to be kudo society but they moved across the block lol. The table set up is very awkward - low coffee tables with lounge chairs - not sure how you're suppose to enjoy your food honestly. It's also just 1 person operating, doing the cashier work and making the stuff so you can only imagine it's very SLOW... Tried their mango cheese cake bing soo and it was tasty! It's basically a deconstructed bingsoo. Smaller portion than many other locations too
We came for the bingsoo, and it did not disappoint! We ordered their milk and red bean bingsoo which was perfect fluffy. I liked that they put the toppings like condensed milk on the side so we can adjust the sweetness level. For drinks we ordered their hot milk tea, hot mint chocolate latte, and hot caramel macchiato- all were delightful. Their cookies and cream bubble tea was just okay.
Miel is a unique cafe that offers Korean shaved ice, bing soo, coffee, and desserts. Came here after KBBQ dinner down the street and decided to give this place a try. We tried a milk flavored bing soo and a mango flavored bing soo. Both bing soos came with red bean, ice cream, and condense milk. The milk bing soo had a lighter taste than the mango, as expected, but was still good. The mango was my favorite out of the two. I would say I had a pretty solid & pleasant experience here, at Miel. The staff was super nice and gave great suggestions for flavors when we were contemplating what to get. The milk flavored bing soo definitely has a very subtle taste but I think if eaten together with the red bean, it makes for a great combo. Neither were too sweet and had the perfect amount of sweetness. Would come here again.
A nice cafe to chill on a hot day. Will come back for the threaded shaved milk dessert! Choco ice blended - so refreshing on a hot day Window like doors are open on two of the walls - they bring in so much natural light and sun. Comfy chairs, low tables. It's a small cafe but the vibe is just right. Parking is super limited though.
I wouldn't get the bingsoo, but maybe try some of the pastries. The bingsoo was a bit bland and did not have much toppings. We got the injeolmi in the larger size, but there wasn't much injeolmi powder on it. There wasn't anything layered in between either, and the condensed milk and red bean on the side wasn't enough.The cookie was pretty good though. It had a strong matcha flavor and filled with nuts.
Mango was amazing. So super flavorful and it really tasted like mangoes... the fresh mango could have been more ripe but it's not in season. I loved how the ice was shaved... such a sweet delicious dainty dessert. Good enough to share for two. Now I'm giving a mixed review because AT NO FAULT OF THE WORKER (who was working the hardest I ever saw of a teenager in a food establishment) this place is understaffed. There was one poor girl taking orders, ringing up orders and MAKING THEM. We were there for maybe 35-40 mins to wait - which for shaved ice on a weekday is crazy. The line started getting backed up and I was genuinely concerned for her. Owner should do better at staffing. I will repeat the girl working was AMAZING, I don't know how she did it. Great worker, but there's only so much one person can do. This is management issue. The dish she made despite being so busy was probably the best mango bingsu I've had in a while. So props to her for doing the best job!
It's a very quaint space. I was craving some shaved ice and boy did it not disappoint. It was like a work of art! I got the matcha bingsu and it was so fluffy, creamy, and delicious! I loved how they put the toppings on the side so you can put as much/little as you want as you're eating. They also have a variety of specialty coffees to choose from! I got the sweet potato latte and it was tasty. I will definitely be back!
It was one of the hottest days a few weeks ago. They had the AC on, but we were suffering. They need to install a ceiling fan or two to circulate the air. We ordered INJEOLMI BINGSU. To our disappointment, it wasn't real injoelmi, but rather factory-made pieces. I wish they would change that. read more
After having a meal next door, we stopped over Miel for dessert. Our group of 8 ordered two large Bingsoo ($20) in strawberry and mango cheese flavor. The mango cheese should actually be mango cheesecake as there's small chunks of cheesecake in it. The fruits were ripe and refreshing paired over the pillowy shaved ice. We did wish that there was more flavor inbetween the layers as it's all just ice underneath. You can add more condensed milk to your shaved ice though. Great for groups and having a refreshing post-meal dessert here. There's lots of seating here too. read more
A cute cafe and dessert spot. We ordered the mango bingsoo, which was decent--light and refreshing--but nothing particularly memorable compared to other bingsoo places. From photos in other reviews, we expected a more "pillow-like" presentation, but ours came in a bowl instead--likely because we ordered a small size. read more

We had a wonderful afternoon hanging out at this cafe in their cozy arm chairs. Wonderful fluffy bingsoo is served with a trio of diy toppings on the side plus fresh fruit. The sandwiches were enormous, deliciously greasy and sweet and spicy and savory all at the same time. Try the black sesame latte, which isn't super sweet but still refreshing on a hot day. Nice service and cozy environment. The store is small so tables can get snatched up. read more
I stopped in to grab a cappuccino and the staff was very friendly to me. The cappuccino the owner made me was perfect! I'd definitely recommend this cafe to everyone especially if you're leaving out of the spa, they will make you feel awake after a long spa day. I can't wait to come back to Miel's read more

I came with a bigger group after eating at tosokchon next door because we saw an IG reel about this place. We decided to order different flavours of bingsoo so we could taste different ones but in comparison the price difference between the cup and the tray it's worth it to share the tray. We got green tea, mango cheesecake, and tiramisu. One person from our group ordered the melon flavour but because the service was slow she asked if she could change the flavour. After this we noticed other groups were receiving their bingsoo orders before hers came out, we had waited 50 minutes at this point while she still hadn't gotten hers so she asked for a refund and they were apologetic about the situation and gave her the refund. The bingsoo was light and fluffy but they forgot to put cheesecake on my mango cheesecake cup so i had to ask them about it at the till and she gave me some cheesecake pieces in a cup. All flavours come with red bean and mochi so if you're not a fan of either of these toppings be sure to request for a modification. I think that they could have been overwhelmed by the size of our group but they also seemed to not have enough staff that day. I would probably still come back to try other flavours and maybe their sandwiches too. read more

The food is good, and the drinks and treats are sweet but the tasty kind of sweet, not the too-sweet kind of sweet. It took a really long time to get our order, but that was because there was one person servicing the entire store. Comfy sweats and the bingsu machine wasn't crazy loud. read more

Im disappointed. The mango cheesecake bingsoo changed. It used to be flavored ice that was mango. Now it's a bowl of unflavored ice with mango syrup and unripe mangos. Very sad day. read more

Super clean space and chill atmosphere, small little cafe to relax and work from! Their bingsu (threaded ice) is great and creamy along with their coffee. They have polite staff and colorful decor with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating! read more

Even though it's winter, I still had to satisfy my bingsoo craving. My boyfriend and I got the tiramisu cup bingsoo, but it noticeably didn't have any red bean or mochi like the other reviews on yelp said. I wasn't sure if that was because the worker forgot to add it or if they just changed their menu or something, but I definitely felt kind of scammed for the price. The bingsoo is super creamy but it got bland quickly because it was just frozen tiramisu bits at the top, and then just chocolate bingsoo until the bottom of the cup. It definitely could've benefited from extra toppings. Another reason why I gave this place 2 stars instead of 3.5 or 4 is because the table we sat at was extremely dirty. When we first came inside, we thought it looked super aesthetic, but upon closer examination there were a ton of stains and weird sticky residue on the table. You can't see it clearly in the photos because I did my best to crop it out, but it's clear that the tables aren't wiped often. TLDR I really wanted to like this place and come again but my experience wasn't the most positive :( read more

Sooooo good. The shaved ice was literally like iced noodles, I have never had shaved ice like this and I think I like it more like this. The melon bingsuu had actual scoops of melon which were super sweet and crunchy, it really had melon flavor like the melona popsicle! The green tea was super good too, tasted like green tea. Both came with condensed milk, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and red bean and mochi (favorite) on the side. It did take a while to come out but definitely worth it, I will be coming back soon!! read more
