Stopped by after lunch next door, their cookies are THE BOMB I literally wanted some more after I…read morehad them haha. Ambiance is calm and peaceful and cute decor fills the place, starting with three big ole bear dolls sitting on a swing on the front window display. Would come back just to try more flavors! We got oreo, biscoff, hershey's chocolate, and blueberry cookies. They are just the right sweet, not too sweet and still flavorful. It's what makes the cookie eatable in bulk I say! Also got the Americano, it's very light which I love. The straw is a pink heart shape, so soo cute.

Yes yes yes! I think I found my new favorite dessert spot for the summer! These Korean shaved ice…read moreare where it's at! They are perfectly light, and sweet and packed with flavor! You don't feel like you're eating shaved ice! You feel like you're eating a fluffy cloud! When you walk in, you are greeted by kiosks where you place your order. You don't have much interaction with the staff other than than they calling out your number when your order is ready Only downside is they were playing music way too loud! The store itself had maybe 1-2 other parties inside... but the music was too loud we practically had to yell at each other to MAYBE hear the person right next to us. I definitely was not a fan of that vibe. The dessert itself though was phenomenal

My kid has been on a Korean shaved ice kick. With her being newly graduated from Kinder [I know,…read moreWHAT A MILESTONE, right??!!] her father and I wanted to kick off Summer break with a trip to SoCal. In all honesty, the roadtrip kind of revolved around us being able to take our toddler to Oakobing. Located in LA's Koreatown, Oakobing specializes in bingsu. One glance at their melon version and my kid was absolutely sold! Please be advised that street parking is non existent and although there is signage for parking out in the back, this is not free. Self parking or valet options are available and will cost you a minimum of $5. Not a bad trade off in sparing yourself frustration, a headache, & a long walk IF YOU ARE EVEN ABLE TO MANAGE SOMETHING ALONG THE STREET. Seating is first come first serve and although there is an adjacent room available to help with the overflow of visitors, the main room where you do all of the ordering is the only cool option [temperature wise]. Don't be shy about hovering close by to patrons who are about to leave and wipe down your own tables with the supplies openly provided to guests. Purchases: * STRAWBERRY MATCHA [Large] Green tea shaved ice topped with fresh strawberries and matcha. * MANGO MELON [Large] Mango shaved ice in a melon bowl, topped with fresh melon balls and milk drizzle * STRAWBERRY [Single Bingsoo] Strawberry shaved ice topped with fresh strawberries and milk drizzle While I wished Oakobing offered melon bingsu with melon shaved ice and melon balls, they only offer the combo of mango shaved ice topped with melon. Strawberry version looked the most appetizing IMO and the match came highly recommended by other patrons. Pros: -The shaved ice is really finely shaved. This allows for a more pleasant and smooth dining experience. -The presentation is awesome- very IG worthy! -Bingsu is very light and refreshing. You aren't stuck eating a bunch of artificial flavors. -Condensed milk is provided so you can adjust the level of sweetness to your liking. Cons: -The melon wasn't remotely sweet. -The fruit flavoring in the ice was very very light. So light in the mango shaved ice that I couldn't decipher any mango whatsoever. -This wasn't my fave version of Korean bingsu. Money not well spent. 3 stars overall. I'm glad we made my daughter's day with this treat but the only thing that she seemed to enjoy was the actual fruit. The shaved ice was not great so a majority of our order ended in the trash. Service is more self serve as the staff is only responsible for making the orders and calling them out when ready. Over $50 spent, not including parking. I'd considered this a bust.

What a delicious dessert spot! We visited on a Sunday night and although it was busy we were able…read moreto get a table fairly quickly. It's a small space with about 5-6 tables inside and a bench outside. My friends and I ordered a little bit of everything to share. I had the Thai tea and I liked that it wasn't too sweet. We also ordered the matcha gelato and it was really good! The star of the show was the mango shaved iced with the sticky rice. It was delicious and perfect for sharing. I highly recommend to check out if you are looking for a great dessert spot to satisfy your sweet tooth!

Girl working counter hesitated a bit when I asked to try all the flavors but I told her I was out of town so it's like my one chance. There was no one else in line so it's not like I would've held people up. I liked most flavors so it's just up to personal preference. I will say the pandan milk was disappointing cuz I could barely taste the pandan flavor.

The mochi twist was delicious and I knew it would be because I like mochi donuts. What I didn't expect to be delicious and likely my favorite treat here was the dinosaur churro. If she didn't insist I think I would choose that last or gave it away. BUT I did try it and fell in love with it. I did share other items selected by my friend who was with me and did not get to taste them. The baristas were fun and friendly as they prepared our coffee. I was in deep thought waiting and one asked if I was okay and I said I was very good after coming back to the present. I'll be back for more dinosaur churros, coffee and other yummy treats.

But let me tell you... the oatmeal cookie is on another level. It's rich, buttery, and packed with so much aroma. The chocolate chip cookie was rich and crispy. Pro tip: microwave it for at least 30 seconds. It completely transforms the cookie--warm, melty, and almost like it just came fresh out of the oven. The oats were warm and satisfying. Definitely one of the best cookies I've had in LA. Worth the hype!
