    We stopped here for Korean shaved ice and it blew my mind. The mango was so good and tasty. Fluffy and full of flavor.

    Tiramisu Shaved Ice
    Rosalyn L.

    Came here for dessert after dinner with a group of 7 and ordered a tiramisu shaved ice, strawberry shaved ice, mango shaved ice, a tiramisu croffle, a strawberry matcha latte and a chocolate strawberry latte. The shaved ices were all delicious and my favourites were the strawberry and mango ones. The tiramisu came in only the large size so it was huge and had a big slice of tiramisu topping it. The drinks left much to be desired.. The strawberry matcha latte was probably one of the worst I've had, with the matcha not being dissolved properly, making it super powdery and bitter. The matcha they used was definitely a low grade culinary matcha. I could only manage a couple sips before tossing it. The chocolate strawberry latte was bought as a replacement for the strawberry matcha, and it was better but super sweet. We had to let the ice melt before drinking it. I would definitely come back again for their shaved ice but am skipping the drinks next time!

    Mango bingsoo
    Joanna L.

    Great place to get bingsoo! It's a bit on the pricey side for shaved ice, but it's worth treating yourself once in a while. The mango was recommended, so we had this one. I really thought it was one of the best korean shaved ice I have ever had and would love to go for this again, trying other flavors. The service is quick and efficient. The staff was helpful with giving an idea of the portion sizes. I only wish that tiramisu came in a smaller size. The decor is cute and cozy. I'd come back to try more flavors.

    A most disappointing experience by any standards but especially given the previously positive experience. We ordered the mango bongo, large. It was served with small bits of what appears to be frozen mango. Previously and as shown in many Yelp photos here, it was large fresh cut chunks. This is also how it appears on their menu. We were deeply disappointed, partly because they charged $17.50 for a large. We complained. While there was no apology offered, they did offer extra mango topping. But it just dampened the whole experience. The extra noisy table of 10 youngsters next to us did not help neither.

    With all the heat-wave warnings in Vancouver, I would rather be in this shaved-ice dessert cafe than cooped indoors! Passion8 has been my go-to spot for quite some time now and I have always tried a new flavour and never been disappointed! However, my favorite would have to be Mango Bango or Taro! It's shaved ice + ice cream + mango (or taro)... who wouldn't want that?! Their portion are huge! if you get there large, it is like a whole meal. I usually get a large to-go and have it the next day. Life hack to beat the heat this summer :)

    Injeolmi Snow + Mango Snow + Americano
    Dana S.

    I came here with a friend to try their shaved ice! I don't think they have the toasts on their menu anymore (although the person who took our order mentioned they were out of stock of a few things, so maybe that was one of the things that was greyed out on the menu) - it was just shaved ice, cake slices, and drinks. The menu as it is still offers lots of options. I was sorely tempted by the beautiful carrot cake in the display, but I had my heart set on shaved ice, so I got the injeolmi snow and an americano to offset the cold dessert in the cold weather. The shaved ice was very creamy, and I enjoyed the nutty flavour of the liberal dusting of soybean powder and red beans with the chewy mochi. There was one big mochi ball on top but I was surprised by how many smaller mochi pieces were mixed in. They definitely did not skimp on toppings for either my shaved ice or for my friend who got the mango snow. My americano actually exceeded my expectations, it was pretty strong and had a rich flavour. Order at the counter and they'll call out your order when it's ready for you to pick up. The person working the front was very nice and gave my friend recommendations. The ambiance is nothing fancy but we found it very comfortable and relaxed.

    Cute dessert shop on Cambie and 14th that serves mostly bingsoo (milk shaved ice) as well as some drinks and toast. There's a tiny parking lot in front with 4 spots, but chances are it'll be full and you'll have to do street parking nearby. My party of 4 came by Sunday afternoon around 3:30 and it was pretty empty. It was a hot day out, so some cool bingsoo was exactly what we needed. We ordered two large Mango Bongo's to share, at $16.90 each. It comes with fresh mango as well as small homemade cheesecake pieces and a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. The Mango Bongo was really good... the mango was super fresh and sweet and went well with the shaved ice. There was some more mango flavor deep into the bingsoo, but I would've liked to be surprised by more mango or perhaps something crunchy instead, to keep things interesting.

    Mango bongo - large as big as a wheel!
    Tom W.

    Imagine a Bingsoo as big as a tire! Not quite. A bingsoo is a Korean dessert made of shaved flavoured ice (typically milk) topped with all kinds of goodness - fresh fruit, chocolate syrup, matcha sauce etc. Passion8 does a good job with its authentic flavour and presentation. The mango topping is generous and most refreshing especially after eating a spicy bowl of ramen or anything spicy at all. It is a self serve concept so service is rather minimal. They use to provide a water station but that was removed. Instead they sell bottled water. Still I revisit frequently so this place must be approaching 4 stars to me.

    Mango bongo

    Remains a great spot for an icy treat! Tried the large matcha, and it was great! The toppings all worked very well, including the cake, mochi, red bean and whipped cream.

    I came here on Aug 4th with my coworkers for dessert. It was busy here as usual. It took us some time to find seats here. We waited for 20 minutes for Bingsoo to come and it did not disappoint. We ordered small Injeolmi Bingsoo ($11) and Mango Bongo ($12). My coworkers really liked Mango Bongo, but I liked Injeolmi for the savory sweetness. Mango Bingsoo was sweet and tasty. Injeolmi Bingsoo wasn't too sweet which I really liked. The rice cakes inside Injeolmi Bingsoo were very soft. Ice shavings were soft and milky, YUM! Even the freeze dried orange topping was so damn tasty. Mango Bingsoo had some chopped mangos, chopped cream cheese along with ice shavings underneath. Passion 8 is an awesome place for a dessert fix or summer treat. They also sell Croffle, sweets, toasts and drinks as well.

    Strawberry Blossom (small)   Freshly sliced strawberries with ice cream and homemade cheesecake with sauce on snow-shaved ice.
    Suman K.

    Stumbled upon this place when walking around in Vancouver with a friend. We ordered the small strawberry blossom bingsoo and it was delicious! Their shaved ice was so light and pillowy with a balanced sweetness. I wish there were more than just 4 small cheesecake bites, but there were a ton of sliced strawberries all throughout the tower. The vanilla ice cream top was also a good addition. This is definitely a place that I'll come to again to try out some delicious sweet treats!

    There are a lot of tables inside and their shaved ice is delicious! I tried their red bean bingsoo and the only thing I didn't like was the pretzel cookie on top and the whipped cream, but the rest was delicious and refreshing!

    Mango shaved ice
    Stephanie M.

    We came on a Sunday afternoon at around 2:30pm. There was only one other table other than us inside. They are usually more popular at night. We got their mango shaved ice. Service was really nice and they were pretty quick in making it. I loved the separators between each table making it more private. Overall the mango ice wasn't too sweet and the mangoes tasted fresh. I like that they layered some mango syrup in between the layers to keep it from getting boring. Great place to hang out

Heck yes. Was it the dreamiest, creamiest dessert I've had in awhile? Yes, yes and yes. The matcha flavor was strong, it was smooth, no complaints here. Will have dreams about this drink. Strawberry: 3/5 stars. I saw it was their most popular and eh honestly I've had better. It wasn't bad, but the matcha wasn't strong enough. It was more on the green milk side for flavor, but the strawberry was nice and not artificial tasting. Vibes: 6/5 stars. Super cute. Little mid-century modern vibe to it. The workers have cool vibes.

Parking can be a bit tricky -- if you're lucky, you might find street parking right out front. With limited space inside, expect a line outside if there are more than a few people ahead of you. We ordered the Earl Grey Matcha, Earl Grey Flat White, and a Pastéis de Nata. The drinks took about five minutes to prepare, and the staff worked efficiently. Their menu seems to rotate seasonally, so you might find limited-time or specialty flavors depending on when you visit. As for the drinks, they were just okay in my opinion. The flat white was quite strong, and while it included Earl Grey syrup, the flavor didn't come through as clearly as expected. The Pastéis de Nata was decent -- not too sweet, but a bit dense. Overall, prices are reasonable for what you get. Worth a visit if you're curious about their seasonal offerings.

We ordered the following: Tiramisu Latte Caprese Bite London Fog Apple Cookie Cherry Matcha Tonic Tiramisu Sea Salt Caramel Gelato The Cherry Matcha Tonic was pretty but wasn't too crazy about the flavor. I should have just gone with my original gut instinct and chosen a hot beverage like Hojicha Latte or something like that. I was sort of thirsting for something cooler for a change though, and the Cherry Matcha Tonic was the first "cool" drink that caught my eye so I decided to go for it. Won't do that again. Everything else was good though. The Sea Salt Caramel Gelato was the star of the show! In the store there's a sign beneath their gelato section that says "Canadian Gelato Champion". I believe it after tasting the Sea Salt Caramel! They had Nama Chocolates too. I was tempted to get some but...only so much a person's wallet and waistline can handle at one time. Will try the Nama Chocolate some other time. You can order in person here, or you can place an "Express" order at the Kiosk. We tried both ways of ordering. Ordered at the counter first and then after finished my Cherry Matcha Tonic decided I wanted to try the Sea Salt Gelato so then tried ordering that from the Kiosk. Most of the parking in this area is paid but I lucked out and got a free spot right around the corner from this place!
