Modern space with outdoor seating in the back. This place is good to go with good friends to share some treats and laughs. There is a huge table in the back enough to sit 8 but there is also a wall bar with stools and outlets. The music is pretty loud so cannot recommend for folks looking for a quiet spot to study. While they have plenty of cute drinks, pastries and waffles, the bingsoo is what I would go for. They're big enough for 3 people to share and delicious. The ice is more like snow and isn't overly sweet. I can't say the staff is super friendly, but they're pretty quick and efficient so that works fine for me. read more

Cafe Auburndale - Milk Bingsoo - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Flushing, New York

How beautiful is this cafe! Newly opened Cafe Auburndale is conveniently located literally couple of blocks from my house, I am very happy. The amount of detail put in to the interior design.. I am impressed more and more each visit. The ambiance is warm and bright, it is a great place to bring your friends and family for after dinner dessert. From coffee to bingsoo, it has quite a selection. We spent about $40 on dessert and I stumbled upon their cheesecake which was amazing! I know where to go for my cheesecake craving. While sitting by the window table, I was able to see that the Honey-Lemon Tea was very popular. The cafe employees are so well-trained, they are consistently making, restocking, or cleaning something. Can't wait to try other items on the menu! read more

Came to Cafe Auburndale a few times during the spring/summer season and found it to be way too cold - they blast the AC so high that you def need to wear a sweater.. maybe even a scarf and beanie hahah. Had to take a few breaks outside in the warm weather to thaw myself. They have a chill outdoor area in the back of the cafe to do work as well. Coming here to socialize during the cooler months though - perfect indoor temperature. I love Cafe Auburndale's wooden interior design, giving off a hip modern vibe. They provide free wifi, a clean bathroom, bright lighting, a variety of differently sized tables and seats, and an awesome acoustic playlist (thanks to SiriusXM The Coffee House). There are outlets placed near certain seating areas. There are also wall hooks to hook your bags/jackets on in the front area of the cafe. I've tried the following so far (missing some other drinks): Matcha latte ($4.50) - extra sweet, but I have a sweet tooth Chai latte ($4.50) - light chai flavor, foamy Hawaiian latte ($4.50) - light coconut flavor, tastes like a regular latte with a fancy name haha Fresh mango smoothie ($6) Iced green tea ($3.75) Danishes ($3.50) Recommend them all (except maybe Hawaiian latte haha). All in all, Cafe Auburndale is definitely one of the top cafes I frequent in the area! read more

Not what I expected. I am a first timer and I was expecting traditional Korean Bingsu, shaved ices with sweet read bean and milk but couldn't find it on the menu. The counter ladies were bit confused but deconstructed $16.50 One closed to Bingsu and nixed the almonds (allergic) , mochi pieces and mugwort powder in one cup, half and half in tiny cup, shaved milk (really cool and yummy) in large bowel, and sweet red bean paste in small cup. This kindness allowed me to assemble the traditional Bingsu and it was delicious! Get there before 8:30pm to get shaved ice creations! The ice creams were all yummy. The Cafe is very well designed cool space. Definite YES for everyone to try. read more

Finally made my family bring me to this place BEFORE dinner so we can enjoy it to the fullest extent and boy did we enjoy. The Oreo bingsoo was ginormous and so good. It's shaved ice cream not ice and my daughter actually liked it. She ate all the Oreo cookies and did not share and of course took the ice cream. The iced chocolate drink was chocolatey just the way I like it and my husbands coffee was different but good. The only issue is finding a place to sit because a lot of people are here with their laptops doing work or hanging out. A couple was nice enough to move a table down so we can sit comfortably with 2 round tables. The decor is so modern, bright and clean cut. At first when I passed by I thought it was a hair salon only to find out it was a new cafe. Definitely coming back to try the matcha bingsoo. Also it's great that they ask you to recycle the cup holders read more

My son wanted shaved ice after having dinner with his classmates. So I yelped the closest dessert spot, and Cafe Auburndale came up. We wanted to try all the specialties to give it a fair review. Mango was my favorite,.. Cafe Auburndale is open once again. I drove by and ordered 4 Bingsoo's to share with friends and family. read more

I came here for dessert with my boyfriend last week after grabbing dinner in the area. The cafe is super cute and spacious. We opted for the berry croffle-it was loaded with strawberry ice cream, whipped topping, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries!! I love how generous they are with the berries because they are quite expensive--especially blackberries and raspberries!! It was my first time trying a croffle and it was amazing! The croffle itself isn't very sweet and almost a little savory because of its butter content so it balanced out the ice cream and whipped topping very well. I definitely will be back to try their bingsoo and coffee. The croffle is worth the trip alone. I'm only knocking off a star because there's no WiFi--which is weird for a cafe since this would be a great place to study otherwise. read more

Cafe Auburndale - Berry croffle! So delish - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Flushing, New York

Minimalistic, modern, hip looking café. White walls, blond wood furniture and bright lighting makes this café picture perfect for Instagram. While this cafe has some great coffee, they are also known for their Korean bingsoo dessert. This a great summer dessert made with shaved ice flavored with milk and topped with various toppings like fresh fruits or candy. When we went here last, we ordered the mango bingsoo. And it was so very refreshing! The mangos were perfectly ripe and complemented the soft, snow -like texture of the shaved ice. It's a hefty dessert and can be easily shared with one or two others. We also tried some of their cold beverages. We ordered the strawberry lemonade, matcha lemonade and the berry acai drink. The strawberry lemonade was delightful. It was not overly sweet or tangy with lemonade flavor which I liked. I thought the berry acai was very tasty but had a hint too much peanut butter for my taste. And I did not care for the matcha lemonade drink, but my friends thought it tasted great. The interior design gives off a welcoming feel; and low noise level and free Wi-Fi makes it a great spot to stay and work on your computer. They also have a cute outdoor seating area. Overall a really nice café with great drinks and desserts. read more

I tried the dalgona soft serve and I didn't really like it at all. The dalgona pieces were getting stuck in my teeth and the pieces were pretty unpleasant to chew on while trying to enjoy my ice cream. The ice cream seemed like it was just vanilla ice cream. I wouldn't get this item again. I think it looked great but didn't meet my expectations for taste. Also, it was quite pricey for what it was. If you are planning on visiting this place, just be aware it generally gets quite packed. read more

Cafe Auburndale - Dalgona soft serve - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Flushing, New York

One of my favorite dessert places in queens!! The matcha bingoo hits every time and their drinks are solid. We tried the yuzu lemonade, matcha latte, and grape slush this time -all delicious and the lemonade and slush were very refreshing. The lava cake was good, a huge portion with generous amount of ice cream. Love that this place opens late too, we came as a group around 10pm Saturday and managed to get a table even though the shop was fairly crowded. The interior and decor was so pretty too! Would recommend to anyone looking for a place to grab dessert in the area :) read more

Cafe Auburndale is what this neighborhood needs. A trendy, warm, friendly cafe with unique products. The bright lights and open space would give you the feeling of being outdoors in the middle of a Spring afternoon even if it's 9pm at night in the dead of winter. It took us a few minutes to order because we had a hard time deciding what to get. Fancy and fun waffles to artisanal ice creams can make your head spin. Finally we settled on the tiramisu waffle and affogato ice cream. Unfortunately, both items were mediocre at best. They tasted fine but that was about it. I can't agree with the price if they taste just "fine". It was a bit disappointing because we were expecting something more special like "oh wow, I never thought of this or or wow I can't make this at home". The other issue is their Covid-19 non-compliancy. We were a party of 4 and they didn't check our vaccine status. There were also 2 other large parties and that concerned me. It's unlikely we'd go out of our way to Cafe Auburndale in the near future but may give it another shot. read more

Amazing Bingsoo... mango really taste like sweet ripen mango and not that disgusting artificial stuff i hate sooo much... the ice is very fluffy... jst a tad of advice... mix the snow and the layer of mango puree in the middle to make it more mongo flavor all over... hut seriously gooo and get some read more

The desserts (from the two I've tried so far) are tasty and super generous. I also like that they offer non-basic flavors. Can't say too much about the service because it's one of those cafes where you order and you pick up and sit down yourself, which is totally my vibe because it means I have to talk less. The one thing that doesn't sit well with me is the loudness. The ice machine is quite loud, so the people in the place talk louder over that and, overall, it be loud. But you can fix that with some noice cancelling earphones. All good :3 read more

Been wanting to try their matcha bingsu after coming across some of the pictures awhile back. Came with a group of friends and ordered the matcha bingsu, lava cake, and a dalgona affogato. Overall, the consensus was "it's ok"/average. Matcha bingsu - 4/5 - A bit pricey but good to share with 2 or 3 people. Lava cake - Friend got this and was a little disappointed that there wasn't any "lava" when the cake was cut, just sort of a regular chocolate cake with solid-ish filling. Dalgona affogato - Friends got this weren't too impressed with the flavor or item overall The interior was quite nice and there was lots of seating. The staff was quick and the orders came out in a timely manner (they have the portable buzzers). The space was quite filled even an hour before closing. However, one thing that irked our group quite a bit was the music being played were extremely loud and almost vibrated our seats. I probably wouldnt go out of my way to visit again, but would be open to coming again if I knew someone else that was interested because the friend group I went with didn't seem up for it unfortunately... read more

I recently tried the matcha bingsu from here and it is SO GOOD. I loved that the matcha flavor was very apparent and it complemented well with the read bean, mochi pieces and the matcha ice cream. Also the portion size is huge!! We were able to share it between 3 people. The service was very quick as well, we got our food within a few minutes. Lastly, this place is also quite aesthetic, giving that classic dessert store vibe. Would recommend!! read more

My favorite cafe in Bayside. Their desserts are yummy and the vibe is super chill. Great place to stop by and hang out with a group of friends or just to grab a quick coffee or your drink of choice. They have an awesome selection of desserts and they have bingsu!! I ordered their Oreo soft serve recently and devoured this in record time! The brownie bits they put on top really gave the ice cream extra texture and flavor! 10/10! read more

I really like this place - the ambiance and the environment is wonderful. Just the pricing is a bit too crazy. 9$ for a soft serve? That's a lot when you're giving the same with syrup. Their drinks and coffee and treats are great. Just wayyy overly priced. Unfortunately it's filled with a ton of students doing work taking over space long while after they're done eating so we couldn't sit down inside. read more

The family rolled in for just one thing - bing soo. Located in a semi quiet strip of Auburndale miles away from downtown Flushing, this place has perhaps the best shaved ice in all of Queens. The decor is bright and colorful - really great vibes for a cafe. The bing soo here is next level good. We ordered the green tea, oreo and mango to try. The mango is a perfect balance of tangy mangoes along with rich vanilla bean ice cream topping a mountain of powdery creamy shaved ice that feels like powder. The oreo was shockingly good - an amazing texture experience that had rich chocolate ice cream that tops the creamy shaved ice but mixed with crushed chocolate cookies which was incredibly fun to eat. The winner though for me was the green tea - creamy green tea shaved ice topped with sweet red beans, green tea ice cream and rainbow mochi is about as good as you can get. I'm having flashbacks just by typing this. The orangeade was also really good - fresh OJ with sparkling soda was very tasty. Prices for the shaved ice range from 14-16 bucks but they're massive and really meant to shared by 2-3 people. If you're looking to take one down yourself, it's still worth the price. This place will be my go to whenever I have a shaved ice craving from now on. read more

Very cute Korean cafe! We saw this place on tik tok and decided to stop by before driving out to Long Island. We didn't order any coffee or drinks but their desserts were the bomb! We got the mango bingso and the portion was huge. It's good to share between 2-3 people. We also tried to Oreo matcha croffle (croissant+ waffle) and it was chocolatey and warm. The cafe looked very cozy and seemed like a quiet place to work or read a book. I would come here all the time if I lived closer. read more

First day of opening (soft launch) and I'm feeling it! Super cool and clean decor and ambience, calm and friendly vibe from staff, deep and smooth lattes, and solid affogato. Looks like there's plenty of seating despite the store frontage, with maybe room for outdoor seating in the back in the future? I saw some outlets scattered around, so come quickly if you want to stay to work, and l noticed them having smoothies in time for the warmer weather. They have a point card system that's straightforward, a stamp for every $5 you spend so you wouldn't mind buying more than a drink, and looks like they're planning to expand their food items in the future as well. I like the location as well since it's far away from the busier Bell Blvd area, while being a short walk from the Auburndale LIRR station. I recommend stopping by and checking them out, and wish their team success! read more

The decor is great and even has a nice outdoor seating area. However when it's busy the tables are dirty and even though we asked them to clean it - it was sticky still. The price is about average for the current rates for milk shaved ice from $16-19. However they are all basic with just the milk shaved ice, a scoop of ice cream or just red bean with a fruit or mochi but pretty. The green tea shaved ice was ok - very sweet and didn't taste like green tea; more like vanilla. The milk shaved ice was ok as well with just red bean, mochi, and milk shaved ice but no classic multi grain powder. The strawberry shaved ice was the best. The best was the ice vanilla latte - the espresso beans were great but the price was steep costing a little over $7 for a large - which is more than even an ice venti vanilla latte from Starbucks. However knowing that, I have to say if everything, I would go back just for the coffee but other than that I'd pass. read more

Like most people, I have a go-to dessert place that I always thought I would think was the best dessert place in the world. Then I came to Cafe Aburndale. After just one bite of my cookie butter croffle, I knew I had tasted something that instantly became the best dessert I've ever had. Soft, delicious, flavorful - and something I don't think I'll ever get tired of. Just wow. My friend had the Oreo sundae which was also good, as were our drinks. The shaved ice looked humongous, and is definitely on our radar for the next time we come here. A new favorite for sure! read more

I've had Cafe Auburndale bookmarked for a while. I was drawn by photos of the modern, aesthetically pleasing cafe, and knew I had to stop by one day. My friend and I came for dessert one night and we shared a matcha bingsoo. I also ordered an earl grey tea on the side. I'm not sure what it was exactly, but the bingsoo didn't quite hit the spot. There wasn't enough matcha flavor, the mochi was a bit strange, and overall just wasn't what we expected. No comments on the earl grey tea - it's exactly what you would expect it to be. A bit disappointed with the experience, but would be willing to come again to try other desserts and drinks. It also does get a bit loud inside, so I wouldn't really recommend it as a working cafe. read more

Northern Boulevard is lined with cute cafes, but Cafe Auburndale is a strong contender. My boyfriend also told me how he loved coming here to study for his board exams, and I can see why. It's a beautifully constructed, bright space with wooden chairs, tables, and a backyard outdoor seating area. They sell drinks, coffees, and desserts like croffles, lava cake, and bing soo. Coffee lovers may rejoice-- they use Partner's beans! On this hot summer day, I ordered their matcha bing soo and shared with 2 friends. It is an impressive looking dessert, big enough for 3 people. The shaved snow was so fine and powdery that it just melted in our mouths. The matcha ice cream has a strong matcha flavor that balanced the sweetness of the red bean and mochi toppings. To summarize, it is a delightful concoction that instantly cools you down and brings you to a state of blissful decadence. Prices are very fair for the quality of the food and drinks here. This will be my new go-to-spot for shaved ice! Oh read more

LOVE this awesome, cute & modern local cafe! It has such a nice interior decor & sleek looking bar & seats all throughout. Drinks & food items as well as pastries are so enticing! We got the green tea bingsoo & it was sooo good. I've been here many times since they first opened & I gotta say... it's still killin it. Business is popping even through the pandemic. They're compliant with the current health safety guidelines & always check for your vaccination record before they allow you to dine indoors. Definitely recommend checking them out if you're looking for a nice modern looking cafe to hangout with some friends over some coffee/tea or desserts! 5/5 for me! read more

My friend and I came here for dessert after dinner on a rainy weekday, and the cafe was mostly empty. I was a bit nervous with this being the first dining experience I'd have where people choose to sit themselves, but I did notice some plexiglasses up to separate different parties. We ordered a croffle with berries and strawberry icecream to share and it was very good! I was surprised that the croffle itself was still so crispy and buttery with everything going on on top of it. The scoop of icecream was also huge and there were enough berries to accompany every bite. read more

Pretty cute cafe to sit in and catch up with a few friends. We shared a mango bingsoo among the three of us. So refreshingggg! The bingsoo melts in your mouth like ice cream and the mangos on the side were perfectly tart. The ratio of ice cream, mangos, and shaved ice is perfect to share between 3-4 people. There were a few instances I noticed the place getting crowded but the turnover for seating is also pretty quick. The place can get a bit loud so not sure if I'd ever do work here but would definitely come back for a post lunch/dinner dessert! read more

Visited some time last month to grab desserts after dinner and specifically chose this cafe because it opened later than most places. The cafe is quite small but it does have a back seating area along with a backyard with outdoor seating (it was closed but it might be available for events?) We ended up choosing the matcha red bean bingsoo and a chocolate lava cake. The -1 star was due to their lava cake as it was not exactly "lava". The chocolate cake was completely solid and we had excepted the chocolate to flow out once we cut it open. It also was overly sweet and vanilla ice cream as well. The bingsoo was perfect but wished it was more fluffy. Flavor was on point though! This cafe is def great for someone who may be studying and grabbing something small + coffee break or IG worthy :) read more

The aesthetic here is modern but comfy, and their binsoo is hands down the best I've ever had. Not only was it fluffy, but creamy with a subtle hint of milk in eat spoonful. The dalgano soft serve was also excellent! The vanilla base they use is simply delicious and dalgano "combs" are crunchy and flavorful. So so good! read more

We come here for the mango bingsoo. The shaved ice is powder soft with just the right amount of sweetness. The mango pieces are always sweet though I'm not entirely sure they're fresh or just in syrup. Still not a deal breaker for me.

You can't go wrong with shaved ice/bingsu! I've been craving and it definitely hit the spot. It's a huge portion (which matches the price tag) so definitely be prepared to share (3-4 people). The mango was delicious - not fresh mangoes but with a syrup and still tasty. There was bits of mango in the shave ice too so you had with almost every bite. It's a cute cafe with seating to the back and outdoors - however does seem to be filled with younger kids studying or hanging out. read more

Came here for dessert as we were craving shaved ice. We ended up getting the matcha shaved ice with matcha ice cream. It comes with red bean and rainbow mochi as well. Overall, enjoyed it but it was honestly way bigger than expected so we only finished half of it! The matcha ice cream was super flavorful, the shaved iced tasted great, and the mochi tasted as usual. Though, I would share with someone, maybe two people as its huge. Would come back. Also, the interior design of this place is quite beautiful. They have a nice outdoor sit area as well. read more

I had the dolce iced coffee which was delicious (I'd buy it 100 times if I could), the price was a little too steep for me. $6 for a medium (which is the smallest size) is too much, it shouldn't be anything more than $4.50 considering half of it was ice... being that we're still in a pandemic I won't give them less than 5 stars. The shop itself is gorgeous... so clean and spacious! Covid barriers in place. It's a great location for students or to hang out with some friends. Parking is ok, northern can be tough but it's manageable. read more

I really enjoyed the bingsu, we got the oreo flavor at $17.5 which is large enough for at least 2-3 people to share. Its a bit more on the lighter side in terms of flavor compare to its peers since there's no condense milk any chocolate syrup. It did include a scope of chocolate ice cream though. Nonetheless it was delicious. I liked that the flavors didn't overpower the shaved snow. read more
