Good bingsoo, and great amount for the price - can be shared by ~4-5 people and the total was $15! The mango bingsoo was great! Hits the spot after a yummy meal in the neighborhood! Cash only

Peach Bingsu
Sara W.

I remember first coming here in 2019, and now coming again in 2023, the place looks very similar to what I remembered. The toast was even better than I remember actually, with a crispy toast. So delicious. Loved the pandan filling. There was ice cream and whipped cream on the side too, but didn't use too much of the whipped cream. The ice cream dipped with pandan was yum. Ambiance was very cozy, with light music playing in the background, and decent seating for its tight space. The owner is the sweetest as well. I'm sure I'll be back again.

Cute little dessert shop tucked away in the basement! It's a really small and intimate space so it might be a wait on a Friday or Saturday night. They have really great desserts and drinks. My favorite is definitely the OD toast in both the pandan and Thai tea flavor. The toast is crunch on the outside and soft on the inside, with oozy warm filling. The flavor was very strong for both and I really enjoyed pairing it with the creamy vanilla ice cream. The major downside is that there isn't too much of a service and I have to seat myself. The staff is always super busy so I often have to wait a while to flag someone down. It's a sit down place so tip is required and it's CASH ONLY.

Mango Slush (no caffeine) and something strawberry
Shelly D.

This place is somewhat concealed and can be found in the basement. The space is quite cozy and would be perfect for couples or smaller groups. I had a great experience with their bingsu, and decided to switch things up on my recent visit by trying their mix mountain with boba on top, which turned out to be fantastic! Highly recommended.

Lychee Bingsu, thai tea bingsu, Sweet Layers Choco
Sisi A.

Keep an eye out for this cozy dessert spot located on the basement level below an izakaya. They have a varied selection of bingsu and dessert toasts, as well as some other treats. What I really liked was that they had bingsu flavors I hadn't seen in NYC before, like lychee, peach, and milo. We split the lychee bingsu, thai tea bingsu, and the choco sweet layers dessert among 5 people. The lychee bingsu was super fresh and flavorful, and the other desserts had a lot of toppings like boba and coffee jelly. The place is small abd can get crowded but if you can grab a table, def recommend coming here especially after a spicy dinner!

Came here on a Wednesday night and it was the amazing. Limited seating but it was worth making the trip. I ordered the strawberry layers ($8) and the pandan od toast ($12) As I was enjoying the pandan toast, I kid you not, I was about to order a second one! It was so crispy, fluffy and not too sweet. Very balanced! Highly highly recommend. I will be back within the next two weeks for sure. The strawberry lawyer drink was classic bingsu in a cup with rainbow jelly (the one you find in bubble tea). Pretty standards, but did not disappoint. There was only one lady running the shop, which I assume was the owner. She was very friendly and made every dessert very beautiful. The shop itself was a bit difficult to find. In the basement, with steep steps, limited seating, and small store front. But don't let that discourage you! You need to make a trip here to try the od toast!!

Lychee bingsu - canned fruit over unflavored shaved ice with evaporated milk drizzle. Disappointed!
Holly C.

Coming back from Hawaii I decided to find a shaved ice place here in NY.. this place is hidden in the lower level with a tight and narrow staircase. The lychee bingsu - extremely unsatisfied with the lychee fruit they put in bc it comes from a can instead of utilizing real fruits. All of these fruits seemed to be from canned goods and stored in their mini fridge for quite some time. There is absolutely no flavor in the ice. I'm left with eating plain ice and the drizzle of evaporated milk. Yuck! Sweet Strawberry Layer - looks good but doesn't taste good. It's all strawberry syrup with fruit jelly and shaved ice in between. There's a small scoop of vanilla ice cream on top - taste very generic. They could've used a better flavored vanilla ice cream brabs with the amount they are charging for each of these cups! $8.50 and I couldn't get a decent scoop of vanilla ice cream. They should use fresh fruits for each shaved ice. There are no dates on those containers, so you don't even know how long it's been stored there.

Mango Bingsu
Sally W.

Solid dessert place in the area that's under ground. Although the cafe is small, it can seat quite a few 2-3 people parties; I wouldn't recommend large groups going. My friends and I shared the mango shaved ice and the shaved ice was phenomenal - so fluffy and creamy; not icy at all. Loved it and will be back!

Lychee Bingsu
Anna T.

One of my friends brought me here because it has great reviews. We had the pandan toast, the brown sugar milk tea, a mango slush, and the lychee bingsu. I love bingsu, but usually never order it because they always seem to come in such large portions. I love that they put the condensed milk on the side, as I tend to prefer the condensed milk on the lighter side. I have to admit that when it first came out I thought it looked a lot like sea scallops on a bed of ice, but it was so good, I can't believe we finished it all. There were so many lychee, and at the bottom they had the clear lychee jelly bubbles that burst.

Pandan Toast
Tiffany L.

Hole in the wall cafe on the basement level of Izakaya fuku. Great service and amazing desserts! Space is small but we didn't have to wait for a table on Saturday night. Definitely get the pandan toast lychee bingsu!

pandan and thai tea honey toast
Evelyn N.

Came here on a whim after an omakase dinner next door. We needed some dessert to top our sushi dinner and I am glad we came. We order the Thai tea & pandan toast/bread, passionfruit green tea, and classify bubble tea. All were super yummy and satisfied our sweet tooth. It's a little cramped inside but also cozy? Will definitely be back for more dessert runs.

OD Toast
Anthony P.

More like 3.5; Cute little place that you have to walk downstairs to find. Jackson heights definitely benefits from an asian dessert place and overall bingsoo was really good, fluffy and creamy. The signature OD Toast was good but not mind-blowing MANGO BINGSOO Refreshingly, light, not too sweet, and again the ice is SO creamy. What i love is that they give you the syrup on the side so you can decide how much you want to use for your taste buds. VOLCANO BINGSOO This was really delicious too because they crushed up oreos/ chocolate chip cookies and dusted it with milo powder and have a really delicious and not saccharine chocolate syrup that goes over it. This one I liked more than the mango one just cause you get more of a mix of textures, esp with the frosted flakes sprinkled over top. I love a crunch and the syrup itself wasn't too sweet which i liked. OD TOAST Their signature item that I was excited to try. It's essentially a column of golden toast filled with either pandan or thai tea filling. The filling itself is injected into the toast and it's a cool concept; the flavors of the filling were pretty good and the thai tea had some coconut flavoring as well. I wish the texture was more melty and less runny though, like a custard, because it runs out of one side of the toast and doesn't necessarily stay in the bread. BLUE MOUNTAIN COFFEE SLUSH A pretty standard coffee flavored slush but they did a good job not making it too sweet so the coffee flavor stands out and remains on the bolder side. The ice wasn't super well blended with the rest of the drink so you do get bits of just ice randomly and it's not a smooth homogeneous slush, per se.

Came here after dinner with friends. We stumbled upon it as it was underneath the restaurant we were eating dinner at. It is a cute very small dessert place that gets very crowded. They have bubble tea and fantastic desserts. I highly recommend coming here. My husband and I had milk tea. His was chocolate flavored and mine was taro. We both got lychee boba in. It and it was delicious! My friend and her husband shared the sweet layers choco which is essentially ice cream with Oreo chips and marshmallows. They enjoyed it. We will be back!

To Laiko represents the kinds of Greek-owned businesses that are disappearing by the minute in Astoria. It just so happens that this one sells Greek pastries and coffee. While the outside awning notes "The Little Coffee Shop", to my understanding "To Laiko" means "The people's" in Greek. I'm not sure how long they've been around, but they've been a fixture for as long as I've stepped foot in the borough (#1). This has certainly been a place that has been for the people (#2), which is always a great sign. They're among the only folks to my knowledge that sell authentic bougatsa, a breakfast phyllo rich specialty pastry that skews sweet and is enjoyed best with tea and/or coffee. They also have an excellent selection of spanakopita, which is Greece's most famous pastry containing feta and spinach. (#3) The kasseri cheese pie is also not to be missed, along with koulouri (sesame circular bread rolls), savory pastries, and the occasional loukamade (aka Greek donut). Prices aren't back breaking, but they've crept up over the years. While I think they accept credit card, it's always best to go with cash here to avoid any upcharges. Service from Angela is sweet and cordial and I prefer getting a drink with several pies on the go since seating is minimal. My hope is that this review helps others find them, since this is a place not to be missed. I'll certainly make this a pit stop during my next return back to Queens. __________ (#1) So, 20 years at least. (#2) Of mostly Greek patrons. (#3) Yes, spinach pie.

Gold N Honey was the winner of my last stop destination and the final recommended visit of Jando S. I'd never had Loukoumades before, but they are essentially large donut holes. There are many different types of toppings you can add, most of which are quite appealing, but I went with the Gold N Cream, which had chocolate, bavarian cream and biscotti. Upon my first bite, I assumed I would only be able to eat a few of my box because of the aforementioned crazy eating before coming here. But as I kept going, I realized, somehow, these little delights were nowhere near as heavy and filling as they looked. And by the end of it, I suffered zero stomach-based consequences from my actions. This can only mean that loukoumades are extremely healthy and amazing for you. They're practically grilled chicken! The cold brew was fine - it got the job done and saved me from an epic food coma. And I got to try a new dessert, so everyone won on this day.

This is actually cheesecake rather than the lighter Japanese version, with a strong black sesame flavor. Hojicha creme brulee: this came as part of a promotion, and the taste is strong. They do brulee the top on the spot and my sugar top got a little too burnt. Oolong tea cheesecake: still good, would get this again still. Lighter flavor but the floral flavor does come out at the end of a bite. Coconut milk jelly: the lightest of the flavor but still sweet and flavorful enough to come through. There's a dusting of graham crackers and strawberry jelly to complement. We also got a hot matcha jasmine latte but it was actually cold. It seems like it normally comes iced and perhaps they have no way of warming up the jasmine part. There's a points program and tons of promotions that rotate. There have also been different desserts that rotate so I'll have to keep coming back to try more. They have a lunch special too where you can get a drink or dessert for less cost.
