Very chill area to do homework and study during the day. The ice cream taiyaki is a favorite, with red bean. Shaved ice is loaded with toppings and is really good to share with others. The workers are very nice free wifi ! Bubble tea is not my favorite here but the ice cream desserts never disappoint! read more

I've been CRAVING bingsu for the longest time and when I found this place on yelp I had to jump at the opportunity to try it! Its a little bit far out from Chinatown (where I usually eat) but it's well worth the drive! I got the strawberry snow ice/bingsu and my sister got a cookies and cream ice cream taiyaki. We got a beeper and sat down. There was a lot of seating when we got there but I can see how it might fill up easily so if you can, have someone in your party grab a table first. We ended up waiting a while for our order (about 30 min for bingsu and about 15 min more for the taiyaki). I'm not sure if this is typical. The bingsu was delicious! It was so big but not too heavy. I was surprised when I found out there was red bean, strawberries, and mochi under the ice. I don't usually like red bean so next time I'd get it without but it was very good either way. I was surprised we were able to finish up all of the bingsu given it's size (it's huge). I didn't get to try the ice cream but I had a bit of the taiyaki crust and that was also good. For those who haven't tried it, it taste like a cross between a crepe and a pancake. It's very light. My sister said her ice cream was very sweet and she wasn't the biggest fan but she did like the fish cone. read more

Really cute cafe near Hmart plaza with a variety of pastries, desserts and coffee! When you walk in, it seems like a place where you can hang out and work on stuff. The prices are pretty high though, especially with the bubble tea that costs around $5 (without the bubbles!). The shaved ice is worth it if you are sharing with a large group. We got the original that has red bean, some wheat powder and mochi on top. I would recommend trying some flavored ones, as the original is very plain. It was really nice that they gave us small cups and spoons to eat, since we were sharing with many people. We also got the taiyaki pastries which are in the shape of little fish and filled with yellow custard. It is not insanely sweet -- just the right amount, and it's so easy to eat lots of them since they are pretty small! Near the counter, they have a machine that you can watch that makes and fills these pastries. Also in the counter, there are some varieties of cheesecakes and pies that you can also order. read more

Its that time of year for the fruit bingsoo! I had it last year and it was so amazing. I had it again this year and it was just like I remembered. My parents were so impressed by the photos we went out of our way during a trip to philly to go there We were not disappointed. The shaved ice looks like a dinner meal (dolsot bibimbop) but it's a fruit bingsoo! The kids loved the icecream and the fish cone (can't remember name). We got the fish pasteries with red bean and they were kind enough to serve it hot and fresh. It was amazing! I'm sure they use some sweet rice or mochi like flour inside. Chewy and toasty crunchy. Hope to have it again next year when we visit. photos on my phone, you can see the great things others already posted read more

Note: I would give 3.5 but yelp doesn't give 0.5. I came back here to study. There were ample tables but very few outlets. The bubble tea I ordered was pretty good. I accidentally ordered tapioca with my bubble tea (I normally don't) but I was pleasantly surprised with the chewiness of the tapioca and I didn't mind it. One thing I didn't like was that after an hour or so, I couldn't connect to the wifi - I wasn't sure if it was just my computer, phone and tablet or if there was a time limit. Either way, food was good but I wouldn't really recommend this cafe to study. read more

Last time I came to Clover Cafe I had to leave without taiyaki since the establishment stops making fresh fish shaped waffles 30 minutes to an hour before closing for the night. No biggie. That just gave me another reason to come back. Today I ordered the vanilla cream taiyaki plus coffee ice cream. Such a cute and tasty sweet treat on a summer day. Outfitted with a skewer of gummy candy with a couple choc pocky sticks (my childhood fave snack), you can't go wrong. Looking forward to trying the taiyaki with green tea ice cream on my next visit. read more

Cafe Clover - Coffee ice cream + vanilla custard taiyaki cone - Desserts Near Me - Elkins Park, Pennsylvania

Nice little cafe with a nice selection of desserts and other sweets. I went here with my cousins and got the ice taiyaki which was perfect for a hot summer day. I got it with the red bean filling and tiramisu ice cream, which was very rich and creamy. However, they also have a vanilla custard base which goes great with the taiyaki. We also got a slice of cheesecake which was so rich and flavorful. Definitely recommend coming here with family or friends to sit around and enjoy a wide variety of sweets! read more

I grew up coming here all the time, I love their menu and the setting. I always feel homey and warm being in there so obviously knowing so it became my go to cafe, I usually go for getting work done but recently i picked up the hobby of crocheting. So yesterday, i called up a few friends so we could chill and crochet in the back and were probably there for 2 hrs and 30 mins. We had ordered like 3 separate times. We gotten a medium maple macchiato, a large chai, and lastly two taiyakis. Coincidentally, as we were debating whether or not to finish off with the mango bing-su some rude man approached our table. Mind you there's many tables in this establishment and i can tell you there were 3 around us that were empty. He said to us "You guys have been here all day and have ordered nothing, people want to sit in the back." Obviously this is no way to approach any customer paying or not, you should obviously approach with a question or being reasonable. Due to our anger we left, we were saddened because this was a cafe we grow up using but now will no longer visit because whoever is managing that establishment was rude. We did stick up for ourselves before leaving and saying we did pay, as our receipt was the only evidence remaining on the table (we were so kind to have cleaned up after ourselves, i guess no trace of purchase was seen) No apology after we had proof, instead he just asked us to sit at the front. There were so many other people next to us, there was even a guy by himself that came before us already there (no drink or order on table either) and he didnt even speak to him. Word of advice if you dont want to be kicked out, just keep a laptop on the table even if you aren't using it lmao. I was also planning on giving one star, but since the workers were nice (two young girls & the young gentleman; not the cranky old man) I gave them an extra star. read more

Cafe Clover - Tiramisu Milk Snow - Desserts Near Me - Elkins Park, Pennsylvania

We went in after dinner at Dubu for some shaved ice. We'd tried the "snow" shaved ice about a month ago elsewhere and really liked it, so we decided to try one that's more local. It's very smooth and tasty, but it does seem to melt kind of fast. We got it with strawberry, kiwi, and red bean, which was a nice blend of tart and sweet, although the strawberry could've been sweeter. Price-wise, it's up there compared to where we had tried this shaved ice the first time, so we wouldn't be able to justify getting it too frequently. I could see us going for some once in a while, though. read more

When it's in season, the Mango Shaved Ice is unbeatable. Let's break it down: finely shaved ice (milky); fresh mangoes - and lots of them; a dollop of vanilla gelato; a side of condensed milk to drizzle to your liking; mochi balls; and mango drizzle. If you're taking out, they package it like an impeccable dessert to be hand delivered to the president. It's carefully and beautifully packed in a secure container, seated atop a bag of ice, with a side cup of condensed milk, and cups/spoons, if needed. I cannot recommend this place enough. This could be big enough for 3-4 people, but realistically, my husband and I always end up devouring it ourselves. Oh, and the staff are always sweet and attentive! read more

Cute cafe that has seating and good little desserts Their coffee is good but their Taiyakis are what you need to try The ice taiyaki is good and all their regular taiyakis are good too! (The batter makes it sooo good!) We ordered the tiramisu ice snow, green tea gelato ice cream, and a taiyaki sampler (Nutella, Nutella walnut, red bean, and matcha custard) and they were all so good!! Service here is good and price is fair read more

What a hidden gem!! The interior is very nice done in the natural wood. The servers were very nice. We came for the unique Taiyaki.

Was shopping at H-Mart and wanted to grab some coffee for the ride home. The young woman behind the counter was super nice and really helpful. I got the Cafe Saigon which is Vietnamese coffee (espresso + condensed milk + water). It was really delicious. I want to try one of their desserts so I'll def be back. Parking here is a little bit of a game of chicken...the rows in the parking lot are hella narrow. read more

I went here yesterday for the first time and it was great! The location is so convenient and the decor is really cute! It's a very comfortable place and I could see myself going back often! And the snow milk was amazing! read more

Such a cute little gem and so glad I got to experience it. The cafe's located near an HMart and other Korean establishments, making the location very convenient. The cafe wasn't hard to find at all and we were pleasantly surprised by the scenery. The staff were incredibly welcoming and nice upon our arrival. It was a Saturday morning and not a ton of people were there, making seating pretty easy. I ordered the blueberry toast, misugaru latte, and dalgona bingsu/milk snow. My friend ordered "The Remy". Misugaru latte - Delicious! Not too sweet and had a lightly roasted, cereal-y flavor, reminded me a lot of puffed brown rice snacks. Perfect for a cold day. Blueberry toast - A very impressive starter to the day. It contains ricotta, blueberries, blueberry preserve, honey, and lemon. The lemon is pretty subtle and paired nicely with the blueberries. The ricotta added a nice creaminess. Again, not too sweet. Dalgona bingsu - The star of the morning. This contained dalgona (made from brown sugar, sort of like honeycomb), dalgona coffee, black sugar syrup, milk snow, tiramisu chunks, and mochi hidden at the bottom. This was so so good and I'm not a huge coffee fan. The milk snow was super soft and helped balance out the bitter coffee foam. The dalgona candy added a nice sweetness before the coffee got too bitter, as well as a pleasantly brittle crunch. The tiramisu added a nice creamy flavor and texture and the mochi was an unexpected, but pleasant surprise. The whole bingsu was SO huge and I wish my friend and I had more stomach space for it. The Remy - So so good. I took a bite and mistook the onion jam for honey since it was that sweet. I found that the sharp cheese paired really well with the sweet onion jam, and the thyme just added that extra kick. A great savory break from the sweets. I would say, the prices are slightly on the higher scale but it's very worth it! I'm looking forward to the next time I can visit. read more

I have been wanting to try the ice tayaki for a while now, and I finally got it today. I got it with vanilla custard and and Nutella ice cream. It was dressed up with pocky sticks and some jelly sugar candy. It was delicious and I'd definitely come back to try more flavors. This is the only place I've been able to find taiyaki in Philly. I've been here a few times before for coffee and pastries and I haven't been disappointed yet. Service is great here. There is WiFi (the password will be on the bottom of your receipt) and plenty of seating if you want to sit and study, but it does tend to get pretty crowded and loud on weekends. read more

I came in here after eating at DuBu in search of dessert. Actually, they have a good selection of dessert! I honestly couldn't decide on one, but we chose the green tea cheesecake bingsu. It was delicious and refreshing, however I only wished it had red bean in it! (Maybe it's just me being used to having red bean in all my bingsu ‍). I would still recommend this place and I will return to try more items on their menu. The staff was friendly and helpful with any questions. Keep up the good work, Cafe Clover! read more

Service needs training. Took my receipt up to them after waiting 20 minutes while others who got there after me got their orders. They completely forgot about my order. Couldn't find my receipt on their end until I showed proof that I ordered... Continued to make other orders while I had to wait for my tayakis. Giving two stars just for the food. Very loud when I came in also. read more

My friends and I went to this place for dessert. They have a wide range of desserts. From cakes to cheesecakes to ice cream with so many flavors. They also have coffee, cappuccino, & lates. Even bubble tea! We got the mango snow ice cream. It was in a 32oz bowl. It can fill up to 5 people. I would recommend 1 for sharing. We loved the mango snow! Definitely will come again to try the other flavors. read more

The red bean taiyaki was good, but overpriced. The fruit smoothie tasted frozen and not fresh, not sure if I would come back. I like how there is a study area in the back and the place is clean. The person taking our order was new working there I believe, didn't really know anything when we asked. read more

I was so excited to try this place as there aren't many places in the area that sell bingsu (Korean shaved ice) or taiyaki, and it definitely lived up to my expectations! Cafe Clover is a Korean style dessert cafe located next to Hmart just north of the Philly border among other Korean spots. I came after lunchtime at DuBu. It wasn't crowded but there was a fair amount of people in there studying and quietly chatting. Service was friendly, college students I presume (like me). I tried to order the delimanjoo but it wasn't available when I went; the person who helped me kindly referred me to some walnut cakes instead. Our main dessert was the strawberry patbingsu (shaved ice with sweet red bean), which had a smooth milky snow consistency. It came out fairly quickly, around 5-7 minutes after ordering. They really loaded it up with strawberries, enough to have multiple strawberries in each bite until the very last. My favorite part about bingsu is that there are always surprises at the bottom- in this case, it was more red bean and mochi pieces! Don't sleep on the side of sweetened condensed milk they give you to pour on your shaved ice because it seals the deal. And definitely bring a friend or two to help you out with the shaved ice- it may seem pricey at first, but the shaved ice is a huge mountain of delicious toppings and yummies. As if one dessert wasn't enough, I just had to try their taiyaki, a fish-shaped pastry filled with delicious warm fillings like custard or red bean. I opted for the red bean taiyaki with green tea ice cream (they had a variety of different gelato flavors). I just loved the blending of the warm taiyaki cone and red bean filling with the cold green tea ice cream! A bit messy to eat, but very instagram-worthy with added ornaments like chocolate pocky sticks and a skewer of colorful mochi pieces. As if TWO desserts weren't enough, I ordered an iced misugaru latte to go. Misugaru is a Korean multigrain powder comprised of roasted grains like barley, brown/black rice, millet, sesame seeds, and soybeans, and the latte drink was popularized in the states by Caffe Bene (what I believe Cafe Clover was called previously). The latte was rich in misugaru (and if you're not careful you could probably choke on the powder lol) but had a pleasantly sweet, roasted nutty flavor that I very much enjoyed. The hip, modern, comfortable atmosphere of Cafe Clover makes me wish that there were more spots like this in the area. It makes a good spot to study or just to hang out with friends and family! read more

A great cafe spot with very slow service and an average coffee. The cafe itself is decorated superbly- definitely a spot to hang out and get work done in. Very themed and comfortable. The customer service certainly left a lot to be desired. When I arrived I made eye contact with the barista, who then spent about 7-10 minutes in the back while I waited at the register. This gave me plenty of time to Google what some of the items on the menu were, as I was looking to try something new. When I asked questions about the menu she seemed irritated with me and gave me short answers, but in the end I decided to try the Vietnamese style coffee. It was a slow process which I attribute to the technique it must take to create this coffee. I personally did not like this coffee, but if you like very sweet coffees, this is for you! The prices were pretty typical for cafes, so you are looking at the $4-$7 range. This is the place for you if you have plenty of time to hang out, and you want to try something new. There are plenty of traditional Asian treats, and it is the only one unique to that in this area! read more

This has been my favorite cafe for quite some time now. I love coming here to study and get some homework done. The employees always greet me with a smile and are very friendly. There's good WiFi and lots of seating. The white mocha is really good so if you're into espresso, definitely try that out. Their teas are also so good, and the summer drinks are my favorite. I've been to cafes where the music is just too loud on top of the people in the cafe but they keep the music low, making it so much easier to focus on what I'm doing. If you haven't stopped by yet, what are you waiting for? read more

I've been to this place twice now and I would honestly come back again (despite the lengthy drive). So far I've only tried their taiyaki, gelato and milk teas. First off, best milk tea I've ever had. Wasn't too sweet and it had such a creamy taste, I finished my drink within minutes. The boba itself wasn't anything special. Their gelato had great flavor, which I enjoyed a lot. This was my first time having a taiyaki and it wasn't bad. Basically a fish shaped waffle, vanilla custard and gelato. Not complaining though, it was still really good, and looked really cute. Definitely want to come back with friends to try more things! Just make sure you get there before 9 because that's when their kitchen closes (made that mistake the first time) read more

I've come here for drinks and desserts a few times after dining at Dubu. Overall a nice place to sweeten up your post-spicy meal next door! Desserts and good, drinks are average. Most, if not all, their milk teas are made out of powder, so your $5 drink is merely a mixture of pre-mix powder and hot milk. PS, why do you call it milk tea when there is no actual tea or caffeine in the drink? Misleading menu. read more

My husband was in Philadelphia for work and stopped by Cafe Clover to pick up some dessert. He got the lemoncello cake and three of the stuffed fish cakes (nutella, matcha custard, red bean). The fish fakes were a little smaller than ones I have had at other places but soooo good. THe dough is a bit different because I think they use the delimanjoo batter, so sweeter and chewier. I loved the Matcha custard and will get at least two of those next time, but all of them were really good. THey are also good for later, you can just pop in the air fryer for a few minutes to warm them up. read more

Ugh... It was not what I was expecting! We were done eating lunch and I wanted dessert. My friend had suggested the taiyaki as we had it in different places. We got a red bean and a vanilla for $3 each with separate scoop of green tea ice cream. Although there were plenty of seats, the seats with the cushions were all sunk in. It was quite uncomfortable as I felt like I was sitting low on the ground. Our order took a bit longer since they were making it fresh. When it came out, it was nice and warm. The taiyaki was such a disappointment! I thought it was going to be light, crispy and crunchy with the filling inside. Instead, it was gooey, too sweet and chewy which was not what I wanted. The green tea ice cream was good though. Perhaps I will give it another try next time for the shaved ice. read more

Cafe clover is located in Cheltenhem's shopping plaza along with hmart, Paris baguette, Dubu and other restaurants. After I devour my sundubu, Korean side dishes and bibimbap I walk 10 steps to cafe clover for some desserts and coffee. Cafe clover changed its name and their menu in the last couple of years. They now have Korean shaved ice, cakes, tayaki, gelato and many others. I usually get an americano and my mom opts for a sweet pastry. It's a very family friendly atmosphere with excellent customer service. I love cafe clover and will continue coming in! read more

Hello? Yeah, I'm the cranky bald white guy in the corner, tapping on a mobile device trying to get some business done. Cafe Clover is the best place in terms of decor and general comfiness, but today the music is loud and (because I'm an aging boomer) resonating as low grade, mass-produced, aural treacle! Not that long ago volume level was perfect and I could put on head phones and drown it out. Not now. Really hope it changes. read more

When you walk in, you are immediately greeted with a fresh scent, cool temperatures, and smiling employees.
