Korean bakery @ Ktown Had mango bingsoo which was very delicious. Black coffee was good too. Very modern setting, 1st and 2nd floor. The food came out promptly.
Pretty chill cafe in K-Town area, it was busy as we went for dessert on a Saturday night. We tried the Mugwort cake, Matcha and Ube Bingsu. The cake was pretty good, but not too big of a fan on their binsu as I had better experience somewhere else.
I loved the interior - it looked like a great evening study spot. Everything on the menu was SO expensive, though, for what it was, and I didn't think the taste and quality justified the small portion sizes and price.
This review is based on a takeout order. Was gifted a box of desserts from here and they were so delish! The box had juak, yakgwa, and injeolmi. All of them tasted authentic (I'm Korean) and well executed. Also tried the black sesame cake which was amazing. The desserts here reminded me of rice cake bakeries/cafes in Korea so it's pretty legit. Sad I haven't made it to their store yet but it looks beautiful based on pictures. I'd love to go try their desserts in store one day!
Such a cute cute place! It's very aesthetic inside and how they present their items! We got the strawberry mochi set, strawberry latte, and original einspanner. The strawberry mochi set came with mochi sheets, strawberries, red bean, and condense milk. It was a perfect combination of sweetness. The red bean wasn't too sweet which is perfect. Such a good light snack and perfect for pictures! The original einspanner was super creamy, not too sweet. The coffee is a bit strong so if you're a coffee lover, it's a must try! The strawberry latter was on the sweeter side, it was light and refreshing. Everything came out quickly, the workers gave good suggestions as well! I would definitely come back to this cafe to try out their other desserts!! There's cake and different dessert sets that look amazing
Probably the best bingsu I've ever had in my life! The bingsu was so light and fluffy and not overwhelming. It was so airy that when you poured the syrup on top, it would just roll right over. The strawberry and matcha syrups were so good too. The base had the right hint of condensed milk. The cakes were delicious too, not too sweet, but yet fluffy and light. It was a super crowded place, so do expect long lines! They even have seating upstairs, but the entire place was packed at 8pm on Friday.
The place is such a cute, aesthetic and cozy place to take pictures or to hang out and chat for hours! There's so much seating and it really reminds me of the cafe ambiance's in Korea! I've gotten their Ube Bingsoo on my first visit but I didn't think it was anything special. This time I wanted to give them another try and got the Mango Cake and the Injeolmi Tiramisu and this was amazing. If you're a coffee lover, I definitely recommend the Tiramisu as the espresso but very strong but paired well with the cream. There were even pieces of mochi at the bottom!
Cute dessert spot in ktown with seating downstairs and upstairs! Lots of different options- bingsoo, pastries, drinks and more!
Super cute place for a date or catching up with friends. The desserts are very unique and not too sweet. You order your dessert, pay and find your own table (they have an upstairs too snd the seating is very cute). $14-$20 for a cake (but Im pretty sure it's meant to be shared between two people). Recommend if you're in the area!
After dinner in Ktown, we stopped by here for some dessert. The space is clean, minimal, and spacious. All of the sets and dessert are also so aesthetic, but definitely pricey. We decided to get the Da-On Sang Set ($26) and Injeolmi Bingsoo ($21). Everything came out so quick --it was ready within a minute after we ordered. To start off, the bingsoo was super soft and silky. We really liked this one, especially the muted and nutty soy bean flavor of the injeolmi. As for the da-on set, I really didn't care for this one at all besides how cute it is. Everything was too sweet that we didn't finish any of these small bites unfortunately. It was also kind of tough to cut and share, especially with the wooden knives we were given. I'd mainly come here for the bingsoo. It's also a nice spot to get some work done or hang out.
Such a wonderful and artistic place. Everything is delicious. Service is good too. Give it a try.
This cafe has a massive space and long opening hours. Cake was yummy but it's definitely at a higher price point.
I really wanted to give it five stars because I loved the vibe and clean atmosphere. The benches upstairs were also turned outwards even though you're sharing a table, which I thought was interesting. The beepers (to let you know when order is ready) were really loud especially when they were all going off at once. The matcha bingsoo was delicious but very small for the amount we paid. It's not unreasonable to give a bit more shaved ice or some other toppings on the side, is it? Considering it's prime real estate in this area, it was still worth the try!
First time visiting Seoul Sweets and the space is immaculate. The cakes looked amazing, but I went with the ube einspanner instead. The drink was good, my only gripe is that it felt a little small for the price, and I'd love to see a dairy-free option. I'll definitely be back to try one of their GF cakes! read more

really expensive for how mediocre the bingsoo was. line goes out the door and takes forever, and theres not many options as they run out of items so quickly. i ordered the strawberry matcha bingsoo, and it was good but not great. the strawberries were some of the most sour of all time, and the main flavor of the bingsoo had no matcha present, and relied mostly on a strawberry jam that was poured across. it def tasted good but im confused what im paying for considering that im pouring the sauce over myself and its literally just strawberries and sugar over what im assuming is just a shaved block of frozen milk dusted with a pinch of matcha powder. the store is pretty though! read more
I believe Seoul Sweets is currently the only spot in NYC specializing in ssal cakes (korean rice flour cake), and I love how light and not too sweet it is. Made with rice flour and egg whites, it is so airy, and literally feels like cutting through a cloud. Plus, it's gluten-free! A perfect little cake for a small celebration They also make the prettiest korean dessert sets, alongside bingsu, dubai chewy cookies, and einspanner. They're seriously always keeping up with the trends! ＊Black Sesame Ssal Cake $16.5 ** My top pick. The black sesame layer on top was the richest. Super nutty without being too heavy. The sponge and cream cheese had a subtle black sesame flavor. It reminded me of the cream in their black sesame einspanner. ＊Mugwort Ssal Cake $16.5 * This one was surprisingly rich. The mugwort had a strong earthy, herby flavor, while the plain cream cheese layer helped cut through the richness. ＊Mango Ssal Cake $16.5 This was a bit of a miss to me as there wasn't any mango-flavored sponge or mango puree inside. It was just a plain rice flour cake with a few slices of fresh mango on top. Though I could really taste the mild, clean rice flavor in this one. ＊Da-On Sang Set $26 ** A must-order if it's your first time here! The mochi was super soft, and the strawberry was so ripe and sweet. The yak-gwa and joo-ak were chewy, sticky, and just sweet enough, especially paired with the tea that came with the set. ＊Black Sesame Einspanner $8.5 ＊Mugwort Einspanner $8.5 The cream was lighter compared to other einspanners I've had. The mugwort one was bursting with earthy flavor. Definitely try it if you're a mugwort fan. The black sesame was alright. I personally wish it was a little richer. read more

I don't understand all the good reviews for this place??? I had the worst experience here. First of all- confusing checkout process. I was told the tea set is for dine in service only so when checking out, I paid a 20% tip but then I find out there is NO service & everything is self serve (pick up at the counter and also bus your dishes yourselves). Secondly, how is this $40? Definitely not worth it. The tea is much too mild, the strawberry cake was disgusting and really hard (and the fruit didn't taste fresh...). I liked the Yakgwa and that was the only thing I liked. And then the most important issue I had was the lack of sanitation. The dishes and cups were dirty. There was lint, hair, dirt in the cups and the teapot. I don't understand why they didn't wash them. I complained and got a partial refund at least. But they also made an excuse about why the ceramics were dirty and apparently the only way to guarantee cleanliness is to use a disposable plastic cup. The place is pretty but that's it. Also there was a guy sitting across from us who complained that he wasn't given the espresso that came with his tiramisu. He asked and they forgot and he had to buy another one, so they didn't even comp him for their mistake. So it's not even consistent since I got a partial refund but he didn't and had to pay full price TWICE. read more

Cute dessert selection. The matcha mochi has fresh and juicy strawberry in the middle. It's definitely an upgrade from a regular mochi. I love the Dubai cookie. The pistachio filling has good amounts of kanafee, wrapped in mochi . So crunchy. To go container is quite sturdy to protect delicate pastries. The guy at the counter is very quiet and stoic. Clean store with some some seatings. read more
Overall: 5 stars Upscale Korean sweets shop with an immaculate vibe and spacious seating for casual work and conversation. The desserts run pricey, but I sampled their matcha mochi and was incredibly impressed on all accounts. The strawberry was firm and one of the sweetest I've had all year, the matcha was grassy and intense, and the mochi is soft and pillowy. Very much looking forward to trying the rest on the menu.

Service was fine. If you go before 5 you cant get the shaved ice so I got the yuzuade and tiramisu. I really enjoyed the yuzuade it was sweet and refreshing and the tiramisu was creamy delicious and has a very strong espresso on the side. The café is very bright and spacious with two bathroom at the end and a second floor but I didnt go upstairs. read more
It was around 4pm on Sunday when we came to Seoul Sweets. It was pretty packed, but we found seating for 2 upstairs. There is a kiosk at the entrance for those who want to see what is available. If you come with more than one person, I recommend finding a seat first before ordering. Unfortunately, half of the drink options were grayed out, so we ordered the Mugwort Einspänner and Black Sesame Einspänner ($8.50 each). Pricey with small portions, but flavor is good. There is a bathroom upstairs and 2 downstairs. The café is a nice place to chill. read more

Stopped by a popular dessert place in Ktown. The strawberry mochi set and cake were underwhelming--flavor was bland and nothing special (2/5). The black sesame with a shot of cappuccino, however, was excellent--rich and well-balanced (5/5). The place was busy, but tables weren't being cleared promptly, which made it hard to find a clean spot. Service could definitely improve (2/5). Come for the sesame dessert, but don't expect much from the strawberry items or the table turnover. read more
Nice spacious atmosphere and unique desert. We went after dinner on a Saturday evening after 9pm and it was still very crowded. Choices of deserts were limited as they had sold out of a lot of their items. We had the strawberry mochi, the Joo Ak (fried rice donut) and a vanilla latte. Everything was tasty. Mochi and Joo Ak were both chewy, nice texture, not too sweet. I would have loved to try some of their other items. I did think some of their "sets" and mini cakes were priced a little on the high side. There is seating available upstairs. There is a designated area upstairs on the side where you can return your dishes and treys. Would like to come back but next time a little earlier to have more options. read more

It's a really nice establishment and super spacious but this.. is not worth $40. Staff was nice but I think ordering off the kiosk would've been a better choice. They didn't really study their menu to be able to tell us exactly what came with our order. You also avoid the awkward tip screen because you have to bring the tray to your table yourself and then clean up after yourself so it's not even a service. Other dessert places around the area are much better options. read more
Korean cafes here in New York's K-town are a nice spot to relax, get some work done, or meet up with some friends for a causal hangout. Seoul Sweets is the epitome of that and now a go-to when I'm in the area. The decor felt sophisticated in both of its levels. The bottom floor gave a busy cafe feel where there were individual tables to hunker down and do work, while upstairs is more brightly lit and made for get-togethers. You order everything from the machine when you first enter. Once your order is placed, head inside on the first floor for them to prepare the actual items. During my first visit, I ordered a lemonade to sip and tried their Strawberry Daifuku with red bean. On my second visit, I ordered a Strawberry Matcha Latte with non-dairy milk, and sipped on that for hours upstairs while doing some work on their good Wi-Fi connection. One recommendation I have for them is to have a nutrition/ingredients menu available or to mark items on what it may contain allergen wise. The staff misinformed me about a few items that I'm sure weren't actually vegan but I didn't let that bother me too much. Still, it'd be important and easier for them if they had better labels. read more
Very cute decor and design, but the food is dense. Typical cakes you'd imagine have a fluffiness to it, here, they are very dense and solid, they look a lot better than they taste. The drinks have a musk to it. Taste: 2/5 Service: 3/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Value for money: 2/5 read more
such an aesthetic and cute place! workers were so sweet, and i also got a strawberry joo-ak, too, it was so yummy! the service was rlly fast, and the bingsoo was incredible. i'm definitely recommending this place to my friends and coming again. read more
Passing by this place as we headed for our dinner reservation, we decided we definitely wanted to try desserts here instead of at the restaurant where we were headed, and we were so glad we did. After dinner, we came back feeling a bit too full, so we shared the matcha bingsoo. It was incredible because it was light and not overwhelming, with no extra things like mochi and tapinaki. This had light shaved "snow" with matcha ice cream, topped with matcha powder and syrup. It was not overly sweet, thankfully, and it was the perfect way to conclude the night. They have three types of bingsoos: matcha, mango, and strawberry. There are two kiosks by the entrance that we used to see what the different bingsoo would look like. You can place your entire order at the kiosk if it makes it easier for you, but I definitely urge you to go in and see their entire dessert offerings. Their dessert display is quite extensive, and all the desserts looked quite pretty. Being so late, we chose not to have coffee, but they offered complimentary herb-flavored water on the side by the cashier. The aesthetic is serene and modern. There's fun music playing in the background, but we were still able to hold a conversation without resorting to shouting. There were signs displayed on the wall requesting us to leave the dishes on the table after eating, and the staff quickly came over to take the dishes and cups away and clean the table and seats. The service was quick, and the servers are very friendly and helpful should you have any questions. Their presentation as they serve their drinks and desserts is very well thought out, and they take great pride in making it a wonderful experience for you. read more
We really liked this place!! I came here with my partner for a quick coffee in the morning and the interior is beautiful. We came early enough that the restaurant was quiet and calm with music playing in the background. Service was quick too and they dont rush anyone to leave. I have not tried the desserts so I cannot comment about that but the drinks we got were delicious!! read more

The cubed latte and matcha bingsoo were amazing. Bingsoo is big enough to share too! Good area for studying or WFH. read more

I like the concept of this place, but was very disappointed by the food. Desserts seem more pretty versus actually tasting good or even seeming fresh. Came on a weekend afternoon and there was no line, but lots of people seated. Seems to be a popular place to study, read, just hangout, etc. Quite large with an upstairs and has a nice ambiance. Unfortunately I found the desserts to be a disappointment. Everything lacked flavor and it didn't taste fresh - textures even felt off for some of them (overly dry or really hard). I ordered one of the dessert sets that comes with multiple things (see photo). It's a good price, but again, nothing tasted fresh so I only took a bite out of each. Also got some of the cakes and felt similarly. I will say, the tea was quite good, so maybe this is more of a drink hangout spot! read more

I finally got the chance to try Seoul Sweets. Let me start by saying everything is delicious! I tried their tea set and cannot wait to go back and try more! Ordered at the kiosk in the vestibule and then sat upstairs. The ambiance was soooo aesthetically pleasing. Interior was designed so relaxing; I could see myself stopping here and doing work while enjoying a sweet treat. Everything came out rather quickly. Highly recommend read more
Passed by this place for coffee on a late night- got the einspanner and the black sesame einspanner and these drinks were GREAT. Not to mention that the interior is light airy and zen, it was also filled with patrons. Service was friendly and fast. Would recommend for dessert and drinks! read more
We stopped by this cafe and it was so cute! So many cute pastries and drinks. I ended up getting the strawberry matcha and honestly it was so expensive. It tasted good, but if you come here get the pastries and other drinks. There's so many other places to get matcha in NYC. read more
good bingsu and drinks but lowkey SO PRICEY . it is a super aesthetic cafe and everything is delicious but def can't be a regular with some of the prices. service was quick and we were able to find seating on a hot afternoon so that was much appreciated. read more
A charming dessert spot with a cozy and inviting vibe. Ambience (5/5): Cute, modern, and relaxing -- perfect for a casual dessert outing. Food (4/5): The strawberry mochi set was good (5/5), but I didn't enjoy the rice cakes (3/5) just not my preference. Value (4/5): Fair prices for the quality and portion size. Service (4/5): Friendly and efficient staff who keep things running smoothly. read more
