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

Strawberry Snowflake Large size

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.

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
Marceline J.

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.

-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

Tiramisu and chrysanthemum tea

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.

Pat bingsu with multigrain powder.
Su L.

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.

Yelp Template A great OTP spot for coffee, lunch, and ice cream. Location and Parking Located in Duluth, parking is free and inside of a strip mall with a medical office and a few other restaurants. Venue and Atmosphere There is plenty of seating, with small nooks on the perimeter of the restaurant. Each one of these spaces is outfitted with comfortable chairs and coffee tables, and is reserved for 2-5 people. The decor is "earthy" with brown tones and plenty of plants. Service Service was prompt, courteous, and efficient. Food and Beverages They feature shaved ice cream in several flavors. I chose the small strawberry, which was still large enough to share. I also had the turkey sandwich and a boba tea. The sandwich was served on a waffle which made for a good combination of sweet and savory flavors. The shaved ice cream is perfectly creamy; it was my first time eating it so the texture took some getting used to, but I really enjoyed the fresh strawberries on top. The mango boba tea was delicious and I would definitely order that again. Verdict I'll be back if I'm in the area!

Chocolate bingsu
Christina P.

Been coming here for years now--solid bingsu place with outlets and seatings with a cozy vibe! Bingsu (8/10) so filling and chocolatey! My friend loved the amount of ice cream that came with it. The ice shavings themselves were fluffy and refreshing. Latte (8/10): solid latte! I believe I got the wrong milk from the one I asked for but that's okay! I still really enjoyed the freshly pulled espresso. I like coming here for dessert and appreciate the larger tables to accommodate larger groups. Sometimes I try studying here but it's kind of hard to catch this place on a slow bend! They're pretty busy all the time, but that's telling of the quality they offer and the vibes of the place. There are quite a few outlets to use and comfy couches. I would love to come here and try their custard fishes the next time I'm in Duluth!

I like this art

See all

One of my favorite cafes in Duluth! They have a big tea latte selection, which is so helpful…read more(because sometimes a girl just wants a tea and not a coffee, you know?) I've tried a variety of their drinks, and my go-to is the Strawberry Earl Grey latte. It's SO GOOD. Nothing is overly sweet, and the tea flavor really shines. My brother likes the mango matcha and my cousin always goes for the vanilla earl grey latte (coffee) or the pistachio latte. We also enjoy their sandwiches too. Would definitely recommend this place! They have a little punch card, where your 10th drink is free, and the owner is so nice! There's waves of people coming and going, but it's not constantly super packed like other places. It's not the biggest place, but you can find seating, and it's a nice place to get stuff done. I wish I could gatekeep this place, but I also want them to be successful. Go try them out!

Summary: Great coffee, calm study cafe, just a bitter experience due to the owner…read more Black Sesame Ice Cream Latte: Yummy!! Would order again in a heartbeat. It's a couple scoops of ice cream with espresso. Pumpkin Spiced Latte: Was good but nothing outstanding. Peanut Butter Cream Einspanner (Iced): Peanut butter cream was good, but once you mix the drink together the peanut flavor is lost. If you like the darker bolder coffee taste, this is a good one to try. Vibe: Music is always upbeat and peaceful, mostly a calm study cafe but some people grab and go. Service: On my first visit I was offered a stamp card. 10 stamps, and your next item is free. The owner is always there and is very welcoming and polite, but it's only for the sake of business. It's not genuine friendliness or care for customers. When I picked up my PSL, I immediately noticed the cup was too light. I ordered a large and there was at least 1.5 inches of space between the fill line and the rim of the cup. Why pay extra for a large if I'm getting served a small? Given that the drink was prepared by the cafe owner herself, I would have been embarrassed to serve a customer such a drink. My other complaint is that I'd visited 3 times in the past two weeks, sat in the cafe for at 3+ hours each time, and was in a rush to attend a important zoom meeting, and planned to order after my meeting was over. 30 mins in, I was actively speaking on the video call when the cafe owner interrupted me to say that I couldn't sit without ordering a drink. So many parts of me want to justify her behavior, maybe she's anxious about the cafe not making enough money - but given that she has seen me before and I was actively speaking - that rubbed me the wrong way. I was beginning to feel comfortable at the cafe but that moment made me hesitant to return. If this hadn't happened, I would have considered this a 5/5 star establishment and found a go-to study spot.

Tom N Toms Coffee Black - Bacon, egg, and cheese croissant

Tom N Toms Coffee Black

Went today, I got a ube iced latte, a dalgona latte & a garlic cheese bagel…read more When I got there everyone was so nice & it had a great ambience. There were great options for seating. The ube latte was a perfect level of sweet as is & great flavor. The dalgona latte was on the sweeter side but had a really good flavor. I would get again if I could do half sweet. The garlic cheese bagel might have been my favorite part tbh. It took some time but very worth it. It was a mozzarella stuffed bagel with a garlic honey butter. Would absolutely recommend. I can't wait to go again soon :)

Tom N Toms is a popular coffee chain in South Korea that has recently opened up a location in…read moreGeorgia. They also sell savory and sweet pastries and sandwiches to eat. The interior is very sleek and two stories high, making it an ideal study spot. I found service to be friendly and quick. We got the Ube Cream Latte, Bagel Pizza, and Bacon, Egg, & Cheese Croissant. The Ube Cream Latte tasted pretty typical, but when you get a sip of the ube part, it was thick and creamy and tasted good on its own. I did not finish the drink as it belonged to my friend, but I think mixing everything together probably makes it taste better. My friend thought the Bagel Pizza was fine and I found the Bacon, Egg, & Cheese Croissant to be very savory despite it being a "basic" sandwich. My honest rating of this spot would be a 3.75/5 stars, but I would come back here to study, do work, or chill with friends. I also want to try their other food, specifically the Garlic Butter Bread!

This place is always packed!…read more I can't even remember the first time I visited cafe blue but I remember I purchased an iced americano. The cafe is located in a shopping center with shared parking. I love the name and the aesthetic of this place. The staff is always really kind and patient. You definitely don't always get that kind of treatment at local coffee shops. I have tried their Einspanner and can confirm it's my favorite! The tuna smash (not pictured) was so tasty! I love the sourdough a the flavor profile of the tuna. I ate the entire thing so fast. I definitely recommend. The menu consist of a few items and they have a lot of sweet treat options available. I have my eye on the basque cheesecake! Final Verdict: if you haven't visited, you must try! I feel like the prices are worth it considering the quality that goes into their products. I would recommend looking at the menu ahead of time, because they do get busy.

I was looking for someplace to eat in this neighborhood. Actually was looking for a waffle house…read more But thought I would try something new and interesting. I was confused about how many cars were in the parking lot 10 AM and the place was actually packed. Must be a good sign. Wanted something for breakfast and a cup of coffee tried to figure out the kiosk to order a cup of coffee, but couldn't find it so I asked person behind the counter. This was the strange thing that a coffee shop does not have coffee. So I ordered a corn latte that was different. It was really really good. For food I ordered a bagel and lox plate. It came out really colorful and decorative. The stuff on top of the bagel was really good but since I'm from New York City, I give the bagel zero stars. If they changed where they sourced the bagels from it would be 10 of 10. Price was steep for what it was but it's the economy. Everything's expensive now.
