I found this via Yelp! This was located inside a Korean supermarket. The Bingsoo was indeed very good: the best Korean Bingsoo we have tasted so far. Not too sweet yet the Mango Bingsoo was not sour at all. The Black Sesame Bingsoo was not overpowering with sweetness. Got two regular sizes and just about the correct size. Will be coming again. Parking was easy to find. read more

What a hidden gem! I accidentally stumbled upon this little dessert shop tucked inside the Korean market, and I'm so glad I did. It has a very homemade feel, and everything tasted like it was made with care. The shaved ice was the star of the visit. Unlike the crunchy, icy shaved ice you find at many places, this one was incredibly smooth, creamy, and milky--it practically melted in your mouth. The texture alone makes it worth coming back for. If you're already shopping at the market, definitely take a few extra minutes to stop by for dessert. It's refreshing, satisfying, and one of those hidden spots you almost don't want to tell anyone about. I'll definitely be returning the next time I'm craving a soft, creamy shaved ice. They only take cash when I visited. read more

Amazing quality ! The shaved ice was nothing like I've ever had before it was so fluffy almost like string cheese texture. The topping were plentiful. I really enjoyed the convinced milk that went all over the strawberry. Next time I will try the mango they also appear to be very big, but we were able to finish most of it between two people read more

This is quite an unassuming place as it's located inside a grocery store. Given that, it also closes quite early too (7pm daily). The bingsoo here is super delicious!! We ordered the mango bingsoo and the mangoes were very sweet and ripe and the snow was incredibly soft and fluffy. There's central seating shared by this place and another Chinese restaurant. read more

If you're craving Korean style shaved ice, this is a decent spot to go to. It's located inside a large grocery store, in a corner next to a Chinese food spot. The prices are high ($15-18), but portions are large and service is friendly. They charge for all credit card transactions. I got the mango shaved ice and split it with 2 others and we were all satisfied, it was pretty good! Would go again. read more

They also remember your preferences and make sure you are satisfied with your order. They now sell Dubai chocolate cookies. It's so yummy. It has a nice powdery marshmallow cover and crispy Dubai Chocolate insides~ I also like the fact they are mildly sweet.

Jeff and Jen picked this place, and I am glad they did. They have excellent coffee taste. I fell in love with BingSoo right away. I can't believe this is inside a supermarket, and I got lost at first, but then I found it. BingSoo House is located inside Super 1 Mart, which is a Korean market. Service was exceptional, I was helped promptly, all my questions were answered, and my order came out timely. 5 Stars! Lots of parking because it's in this plaza with so much parking. The area where the café is not huge, and it is shared with a restaurant; yet I felt comfortable and happy.

SO good! The ube and chocolate flavors were delicious. I liked the chocolate one slightly more but I would get both again. The snow is super soft and they did not scrimp on the toppings/ sauce add-ons. We shared 2 regulars amongst myself, my mom, a 4 yr old and a 3 year old. I recently tried a pop-up serving this same thing but they hardly put enough toppings and sauce so I felt like I was just eating ice, but this place is not like that at all. They were generous with the add ons. I also tried the Nutella "fish" and it was very yummy. So happy to have found this place inside the Korean market! read more

BingSoo House in La Palma is a hidden gem located in a small food court at the Super1Mart supermarket. The Strawberry BingSoo is delicious as their shaved snow is very milky and it mixes well with their strawberry sauce and condensed milk. It's definitely shareable and I recommend eating your portion in your own bowl so that you can mix your portion well. I might upgrade my rating with future visits. I definitely will be coming back on a hot day and I think that the portion size is great. read more

This bingsoo spot is located in the supermarket on the left side and has a decent amount of seating available. Parking is easily found in the plaza. The staff was friendly and the area wasn't very busy at all. We decided to order the mango bingsoo and got a size L which was pretty large for 2 people. The bingsoo wasn't the type of bingsoo that I like since it was more icy and not as creamy as I like. The mango was also underripe and wasn't super sweet so it made it less tasty. read more

Tried their bingsoo multiple times and it hits every single time. I'm a fan of their injelomi bingsoo and mango bingsoo. The mango bingsoo is especially refreshing. The shaved ice is soft and pillowy with a satisfying milky flavor. Condensed milk was not skimped either. I used to really like their taiyaki but feels like they changed something in it? Maybe it's a different red beans recipe or brand they are using. It's still decent but not what I remember it use to tasting before. read more

One of my favorite bingsoo places! I've tried a few different flavors here, but the mango is my favorite. Mango bingsoo 9.5/10: The shaved milk ice is super soft and fluffy, rather than icy like some bingsoo shops. There is a great amount of mango and syrup, but sometimes the mango is underripe and I wish the mango was still cubed instead of sliced. The portions are also very large; the small size is easily shareable between 2-3 people. read more

The shaved ice was perfection, the amount of mangos and syrup used over the bowl of ice was perfect. The shave ice was a milk flavor and was so creamy with mangos. There was only 1 lady working and she works really hard to on taking orders and also preparing the orders herself. Major props!

My favorite is the banana matcha and sometimes I'll get a hot tea to watch my lecture videos. The drinks aren't anything spectacular but the late night study environment really became a third space I had been needing or a while now. Owner is very nice and makes the place feel very personable. He always brings students an extra water for studying and sometimes a sweet treat.

I think I've found my new favorite coffee shop for this part of town and there are a lot of great…read morecoffee shops in this area! We had a Flat White & Cortado. Both were excellent rich & creamy and served at the perfect drinking temperature. This is honestly one of the best Flat Whites I've had in years!! Will be going back soon to try some of there other drinks. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable of the drinks. There is also a large variety of beans available for sale. I was even able to find filters for my home pour-over setup! Its a smaller shop with a modern, welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay. There is limited seating inside and a couple of benches outside. Not the kind of space where you can sit down to work or study. But perfect for visiting with friends and enjoying the wonderful drinks. Ondo is located in a busy strip mall so parking can be tough. We actually parked in the strip mall next door LOL There is also some street parking in the area.

Came back but it felt something is not the same. Just fyi, I dislike tipping culture but when you…read moreget a bag of beans and they ring you up for a drink, just make sure you calculate the tip because I forgot it included both the beans and drinks so the staff got a big tip from me. As for the drinks, the pour overs is lacking as of late. When I get pour overs I would like the staff to be attentive to my drink than being side-tracked. I'm paying almost $8.5+ for my pours mind you. I'll continue to come for the beans but I don't know about the drinks right now.

Overdue review!…read more Picked up a few goodies for work and everything was so good! I have yet to try the cookies again cuz I wasn't able to eat them right away, so not mentioning them. I got the Butter and Blueberry Scones and they were pretty flavorful. I also couldn't get over the NICE packaging for a to-go box. The staff was very helpful and considerate. More visits in the future.

Service was nice, interior is cute, coffee drinks were tasty. It was a little hard to find, tucked…read moreaway in warehouses, there's a small plaza with a Jimmy John's sandwich shop. The coffee shop is right next to the hair salon. There were a lot of people on their computers, working/studying on a Friday afternoon. I ordered the Jeju tangerine espresso tonic. It's carbonated and refreshing. I haven't had anything like it. I would get it again. I also ordered the Biscoff latte at 50% sweetness, and that was good too. I haven't tried any of their pastries, but it was cute to try out this shop!

Latte, Kaymak, strawberry matcha latte~!! ^^

Like everyone else, I've been a big fan of Nook's Costa Mesa and Torrance locations and was super…read moreexcited to see the new store in La Palma! They just make good coffee and matcha with really nicely balanced flavor varieties. I love having their Lavender Matcha around locally! The store is simple but spacious and the service is good. I do wish they kept lids on the counter where drink pickup is but that's a quibble.

Look, I've been a fan of Nook for the past few years. I've literally been to every location…read more(technically not Costa Mesa--it was closed when I passed by but potayto potahto haha). The real ones know this is the best matcha out there. Literally, Nook has never failed me. So when the news broke out about their new La Palma location, I was all in and ready to cross this one off my list. Didn't walk, but RAN. Matcha? No notes. Same creamy nutty umami consistency as usual, and I don't feel like a cow because I'm not tasting grass here. Inside has a nice luxurious wood design, but seating is super limited (just once small bench against a wall). But fear not, there is a good amount of common outside seating shared by the other businesses in the plaza. Service is quality, just like the others. Conclusions? The best of the best did it yet again. Come here for a good time, not a long time (because little seating). I'll stay posted for their next location lol.

The presentation was beautiful: each bowl piled high with finely shaved, snow-like ice, topped with generous amounts of fresh strawberries, strawberry syrup, and a dollop of sweet cream. The fruit was juicy and ripe, not overly sweet, and the ice melted in your mouth -- so soft and fluffy it felt like eating a strawberry cloud. Service was fast, and the staff were friendly and patient, even though we took a while to decide (they have a ton of options!). The place was clean, cozy, and perfect for a post-dinner treat or mid-day hangout. We were this close to trying different flavors, but honestly, the strawberry bingsoo is such a standout that we just leaned in and tripled down. Worth it. Highly recommend for anyone who loves strawberries or is new to Korean shaved ice -- this is a great intro. Best Bingsoo in Orange County !!! Can't wait to come back and try the mango next time! read more

If you're a fan of refreshing treats, you must try shaved ice with mangoes at the Bingsoo House. This tropical delicacy combines finely shaved ice, creating a snow-like texture that perfectly contrasts the sweet, juicy, and vibrant mangoes. The natural sweetness of the mangoes elevates the cool, light base of the ice, offering a satisfying and indulgent experience. Whether it's topped with condensed milk, or puree, their shaved ice with mangoes is an irresistible treat that provides the perfect balance of flavors. It's refreshing, delicious, and guaranteed to transport you to a tropical paradise with every bite. Don't miss out! read more
