    Mango Bingsu (Large)
    Rachel W.

    Wowww, really yummy fruit bingsu! Our party of 9 got a large Mango Bingsu, and a medium Strawberry Bingsu to share. It was just about right for us! The mango was my favorite, especially now that mangoes are more in season - the bingsu is generously topped with fresh fruit, and the ice itself is delicious. Would definitely recommend for dessert! They offer many other dessert/drink options.

    The matcha ice cream with Dubai and oreo cereal in a container was D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!!! Will definitely bring my kids next time! I also got the mini fish with custard. Both paired well together. Sigh...I am definitely feeling satisifed...now I gotta drive home...boooo. lol

    Nice cozy spot, great place to grab coffee or bingsu and just relax with friends. Nice vibes and everything tastes good. A chill hangout spot

    This is a cute coffee shop in the Great Wall area. It's been in the plaza for a while, and I've been meaning to try it. I love the vibes inside and the decorations are really nice. I do think the drink I got was just okay, which is why I only gave four stars. But the vibes are good and a perfect place to hangout with friends or study.

    Mango bingsu and Croffle

    Good sharing portions and lots of seating available. The mango bingsu had a lot of mango and not ice heavy. Croffle was crunchy and soft as it should be. Staff is friendly.

    A very cozy home-y feel cafe! It was pretty busy when I came on weekend. Service was friendly and fast. We got a Korean iced sweet coffee and a strawberry green tea latte. The coffee was so strong and good. The green tea was okay, it was too sweet and wasn't my favorite. The bathrooms were also down this day? Both bathrooms. Overall, ambiance wise it was a a cozy place.

    What a cute coffee shop! We had to try as much desserts as we can, since everything looks so good! The seating arrangement in side of the coffee shop was super creative: some area is open and some areas are private, and I really like how they did the space arrangement. We order hefty amount of desserts and drinks, and everything came out all at once with right temperature. Great service. I highly recommend this cute coffee shop.

    -bingsoo is a classic; sometimes it's too powdery (too much flavorings) so you have to ask for less of it if you don't want it too sweet -new yogurt drink was too sweet for my liking -mini fish bread is a must get -can get really busy; honestly not the best place for studying -seating somewhat limited esp on weekends

    Very pleasant environment and atmosphere with very friendly service and delicious pastries and fantastic tea to just sit down relax and catch up with friends or just enjoy some time alone. Make sure to stop into this place. It is a little gem in this parking lot. If I lived closer, I would definitely be here more often.

    Tried this place after some friends recommended it for coffee and bingsu, but I found it to be underwhelming. I ordered the misugaru bingsoo and vanilla latte. The misugaru bingsoo was very milky, so it didn't have the usual refreshing notes that bingsoos usually have. Also wish it came in a bigger bowl so that it would be easier to scoop into the little bowls since we were sharing. Wish they had more toppings. The vanilla latte was alright, a little too sweet even though I asked for half sweet, but a pretty solid latte. Interior is interestingly decorated, quite spacious with ample seating. Staff was pretty friendly for the most part, and our order came out quick.

    What a wonderful cozy place to chill with friends over coffee! We stopped in here for the patbingsu today. It was good. We got the small size and it was more than enough for the two of us. Lots of tables, some clusters of comfy chairs and a few semi private rooms all full of people visiting, working or just enjoying coffee and snacks. Fun place!

    A busy cafe with a comfortable interior and big menu. There's some rooms where there's big leather sofa chairs for people to sit at but with a very small circle table. Those rooms are not ideal for studying but good for big groups and talking. It's a bit cramped in there too. There's a bunch of tables with pull out chairs where people tend to study, and there are outlets sporadically around: either in the wall or connected to the lights by the tree. Wifi is provided. The menu has a few interesting picks. I like how they had a tteokbkki and bingsoo combo. Coffee was decent, but not amazing. Parking can be limited or you may have to park further in the parking lot since it's located in a big plaza. They play background music kind of loud, giving it a bustling atmosphere.

    My friends and I visited after I mentioned a high school friend of mine liking this place. Once I…read morerealized where it was... I was skeptical. I do not feel as though downtown Duluth truly captures the amazing food scene of the city, but again, an old friend did like it enough to tell me about it. Inside was pretty spacious. High ceilings and bright. You have to go up front and order, and they'll give you a buzzer to let you know when your food is ready. Pretty standard so far. It's not too loud, even with the music playing in the background, so not bad for hanging out with friends after the food is done, though we didn't. We were all pretty disappointed with our food. It wasn't bad, thankfully, it was just meh. We could've literally drove 5 minutes away for better, so we left as soon as we finished. The good thing is you get to choose what protein you want with your dish, which is nice. However, the chicken katsu here is thin. Also, the K-Fried chicken doesn't really mesh with the pasta. It's like a skewer on the side of your main dish. You can eat them separately and be happy enough. I was ok with the bulgogi, but I would've expected better from a Korean establishment. I haven't tried every single protein option, but I won't lie, tofu in pasta isn't the most appealing to me. For the main dishes, it was pretty bland, especially the omurice. You need the egg and the protein for flavor. The Schezwan pasta wasn't even spicy. At least the carbonara was creamy as it should be.

It's very eggy to them, which is fair, you do need more eggs than normal pancakes to make them. I don't mind at all, but they are a lot to eat alone. Good to share with friends, though it can get a bit messy to eat. I also tried a drink here, the lychee genmaicha, and it was nice. Lots of drink options in Duluth, but since I was already here, I thought that I might as well get a drink and see if it's any good. Now I'm curious about their food. They have a breakfast/lunch/brunch menu with SAVORY pancakes. I'd love to try them some time or even one of their croffles, which they can make savory or sweet as well. That being said, I've only ever been here at night after dinner. Not very busy, so there's always a table available and not much of a line. Maybe it's time for me to have some breakfast for dinner.

The Second Level / Upper Floor is reserved for if you are going to be ordering/dining in for the pastas and/or savory foods. I only tried their coffee today on the first level. I did go upstairs to check it out and did see a bunch of people upstairs just sitting and chilling on their laptops with their coffees/drinks; so they may not really enforce their "reserved for pasta dining only" rule. Not sure. Ambiance (First Level / First Floor) - clean, nice, laid-back, chill, cool environment. Casual setting. Cool architecture, design, layout, and decor. Can get loud inside as ceilings are high and can get echo-y, especially if there are alot of people. Also, there is music constantly playing in background. Service (First Level / First Floor) - customer service was quick and straightforward. They were nice and polite. A+. No complaints here. Coffee (First Level / First Floor) - tried their "Korean Iced Coffee" for $7.25. It was one size only and one price at $7.25. It was delicious. Almost similar tasting to a Vietnamese coffee in my opinion (both are delicious). That strong, brewed coffee flavor with this delicious milky, sweetened condensed milk taste. I am not exactly sure if they used sweetened condensed milk in the Korean iced coffee, but it sure does taste similar to it. It's quite good. Also had a "Large Hazelnut Hot Coffee" with creamer for $5.95. It was okay. Total with tax for the two drinks was $13.99. Keep in mind that the WiFi is on your receipt as a QR Code at the bottom. So if you want to use the WiFi, ask for the receipt and/or keep the receipt so that you can scan the QR Code in order to use the WiFi. There was no password on the receipt, only a QR Code that you need to scan. Overall - Yes I would recommend this place for a nice little coffee stop. Check it out for yourself. Enjoy!

UPDATE: Earlier I said I didn't like my Mango Matcha, now I have to change that once I put the straw in my cut and stirred the matcha it was delicious. I didn't realize I shouldn't drink it from the cup without stirring first. I feel so silly now. I changed my four stars to five stars and a newbie like me now will know to stir the matcha first. I received an awards card after ten stamps I believe I get a free item. Sounds fun. Parking is not a problem there's plenty. I can't wait to visit here again.
