    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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!

    I absolutely love iced coffee and this place does it right. The inside is unique. It has a mix of real and fake plants/trees. I like it. I've never had a bad cup of coffee here. While I usually opt for the iced variety, I have had a hot white mocha and it was also solid on flavor and strength. The iced white chocolate mocha is my favorite. I've now switched it to half sweet because I feel like regular amounts of sweetener is too sugary. The price is fine. The service is fast and efficient. I don't find them to be overly friendly but definitely not rude either. When I'm in the area this is my go to spot for coffee.

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!

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.
