    I found this place on Instagram. It was such a cute spot, and super busy when I went on a Saturday afternoon. To place your order. However, there was still a short wait to grab a seat as well as get your food. All the items we ordered were aesthetically very pretty. The display is top notch. I ordered one of their tea dessert sets and the presentation was just adorable. However, it was relatively expensive. I wouldn't say the tea set was worth the price. However, the bingsu was really good. Would definitely come back for the shaved ice again.

    Absolutely adorable - desserts were delicious and matcha was perfect. Vibe is so cute, there's upstairs and outside as well. Parking was a little tight. Service was friendly and quick, really cute spot!

    Aesthetic on point, taste amazing! It's incredible how balanced the flavors are, nothing too sweet here. The bingsu offers a full, rounded experience with its soft ube ice cream and crunchy "cookies." The Korean set is pretty, though not quite my dessert type. I just wish the teapot was bigger to balance all the sweets!

    Tea + confections and more. Crossing off another place on my list. Cheongsu in Fort Lee serves souffles, madeleines, matchas and several other items. I was incredibly intrigued by the Korean special set menu and had to get it! It comes with tea, madeleine, traditional Korean confectionery, jelly, dried seasonal fruit and candied chestnuts. I wish I have the opportunity to have this more often. I also tried their yuzu beverage. The pulp separates pretty quickly and sank in the bottom. With a filled glass, it wasn't easy to blend with the spritz. Since it was my first time, I asked a few questions and was told that they'd send a text message when it was ready. I recall reading that the soufflé takes 30 minutes to complete as well. Pro, it's great that the whole order was ready before 30 minutes; Con, the soufflé was under cooked. Also, since the food was ready sooner than anticipated, I wasn't able to retrieve the order on time and was "scolded" that they're not a table service type of establishment. 1, I'm fully aware I had to get my order myself. Unfortunately the call only reflected the main floor where the serving counter was. Not upstairs, not outside. 2. I should've been given grace since again, it was served earlier than anticipated. I also didn't get a text message that it was ready. There are lots of opportunities for improvement here, like an intercom of some sort outside and upstairs. I didn't see the upstairs so idk if it really needs it there. Since they're not a table service type of establishment, an automatic door would be great because everything had to be returned inside. Envision glasses on trays with other tablewares, full hands and the door.... Not to mention if someone was coming out from the inside. It's a disaster waiting to happen. Although I enjoyed everything because it was delicious, I didn't enjoy it to the fullest because of the one moment left a bad taste in my mouth.

    Came here for Free Wi-Fi and binsu. Didn't have Wi-Fi, and it was a disappointment. What coffee store does NOT have Wi-Fi?! The binsu was alright, and I had better elsewhere. The seats were uncomfortable as it was screaming for you to get out as soon as you are done with your food. Not enjoyable at all. Definitely not coming here in the future!

    This place is so cute!! I was transported to another country. It's so zen upon entry. Seems like they have a parking lot adjacent which is nice. You order on one of the two kiosks. Then they call your number. The soufflés take 20-30min. They have tap water with ice if you ask. They have some outdoor tables too. And a bathroom. The cream brûlée matcha was so unique. I loved the crunchy top and watching them heat it up. The cream in it is rich and tastes very good with a dipped salted vanilla financier. We got an assortment of cookies. The standout was the Dubai matcha one. It had a kataifi in the center which made it crunch and on the outside a thin layer of chewy mochi, which was kind of floral tasting. For some reason it tasted like fruity pebbles even though that's not the flavor profile I was expecting. The soufflé was steaming hot, had red bean on the bottom and a ton of sesame on the top and inside as well. It wasn't strong in flavor and was light and fluffy. The green tea Madeleine was too dry and bitter for me. Some of the other cookies we had were on the dry side as well. Overall really unique place with lots of unique flavors. The drink was standout!

    We did not go upstairs, but the downstairs space is kind of small and cramped even on a weekday afternoon. You can order on a screen. We got an iced americano, the misugaru drink, and corn bingsoo. Everything was good but the bingsoo was a standout, possibly one of the best ones I've ever had despite not having mochi nor red bean. Texture and flavor were perfect and not too sweet. This place is pricey but I would come back and I want to try their other bingsoo too.

    Cute dessert spot in Fort Lee, New Jersey! The place has a parking lot with a few spots but the ramp is located in an awkward spot so it can be difficult to turn in especially when there's people leaving and coming in too. My family and I came on a Sunday evening and it was kind of packed, especially since the outdoor garden and upstairs was closed. As a result, the employees usually limit the dine-in time and encourage people to refrain from taking larger tables when your party is smaller. The place has a warm, wood theme that makes it feel very cozy inside. Upon walking in, you can see a display models of all the desserts they have or you can use one of two kiosks to look at pictures and order! My sister wanted to get one of their signature desserts: souffle castellan or fromage. I wanted to try their madeleines, financier, and shaved ice. One thing we could agree on is no yakgwa. We're not a fan of the chewy, sweet flour dessert. We shared a Matcha Fromage, Black Sesame Madeline, and Salted Vanilla Financier. The Matcha Fromage was a bit overrated. It has a hard, dry texture but the matcha flavor made it bearable. Would not order again. The black sesame Madeline and Salted vanilla financier on the other hand were out of this world. Perfect taste and texture. Soft on the inside and crisp on the outside. My sister did not want the shaved ice and I could not finish it myself but honestly wished we got it instead of the fromage. Everyone in the room had a shaved ice on their table. Whether it was matcha or strawberry - they all looked sooo good! As for drinks, we ordered an iced creme brulee matcha latte and a vanilla latte. They messed up our order and gave us a plain iced creme brulee latte which has coffee in it! The barista was nice when we told her about what happened. She informed us she will make the correct drink, but that if we wanted we could keep the drink made in error. Luckily, my sister is a coffee drinker so she drank it and I drank the matcha one. They were good but the creme brulee too definitely makes it more sweet. The vanilla latte has a cute bear art on top but flavor wise, it's just like any regular vanilla latte. Would love to come back to try other drinks as well as the shaved ice! Hopefully, when the weather is nicer, the outdoor garden is open too! FYI - there is one unisex bathroom for customers right on the left when you enter.

    Finally checked out Cheongsu NJ! Small space, but the vibe is so on point--very Korean café aesthetic and super photogenic The hot matcha latte had the cutest latte art--clearly made with care Tried the traditional Korean tea dessert set--beautiful presentation (10/10 for photos), but some flavors (ginger, savory sesame, cinnamon) were a bit hard for me to get used to. My Korean friend said it's very authentic though! Soufflé pancakes took ~15 mins but came out soft and fluffy The fromage (matcha + chestnut) looked stunning, with a unique honeycomb-like topping Overall, a great spot to chill, catch up, and take cute pics. Sad the shaved ice machine was down--next time!

    There's parking outside and there's also outdoor seating space. When you go up the steps it's the first door in the front, not the door on the right hand side!!! Wow everything on the menu is a must try. We tried almost everything. My favorite were the drinks, I prefer the earl gray drink and cookie. This was a great spot to hit up before an American dream mall day! Definitely stop by and try one of everything! The potion for the cake was huge, thank god we only ordered one for the 3 of us. Need room to fit all the other goodies!

    Came here to check out this dessert spot with authentic Korean elements and overall, it's definitely more of a vibe than a "must come for the dessert" kind of place. They do have their own parking lot, which is convenient, but just a heads up, it's pretty limited and fills up quickly. The interior space itself is really cute, with a cozy and aesthetic seating area that makes it a great spot for a casual coffee chat or even to sit and get some work done for an afternoon. Everything is very Instagram worthy, from the presentation to the interior. My friend and I ordered a dessert set, two strawberry matchas, and the matcha fromage. Out of everything in the set, I only really liked the financier. It was moist, lightly sweet, and honestly the only item I'd order again. The rest of the desserts were either too sweet or just didn't quite hit the mark for my taste. The drinks: mixing the matcha and the milk and just drinking the matcha itself was actually really good. It was deep, earthy, and high quality, but once the strawberry purée was mixed in, it became overwhelmingly sweet. I couldn't even finish it. The matcha fromage was decent, with soft layers of sponge cake, soft cream, chestnuts, and a dusting of matcha powder, but not something I'd specifically crave again. Overall, everything here is on the pricier side - total came down to almost $70 for everything pictured. The aesthetics and ambiance is definitely really great, but this spot is just worth a one time visit to try and I wouldn't go out of my way to come back.

    Desserts taste amazing, love the indoor decor particularly upstairs really matches the theme, service is great! Desserts are on the pricier side and they have a very small parking lot on the side of the building!

    I came here for Bing Soo and the place was honestly incredible. Watching the service and the efficiency of how everything went out was fantastic when our dessert arrived it was definitely a 9/10 for sure and that's a great thing. I didn't check out the second floor but the first floor was cute. Would go back.

My chicken pho came out very quickly and first. This was delicious and I could tell it was made with so much love. I also loved the lemongrass flavor they added to it. It was a very generous portion for the price. Shortly after, my strawberry teddy bear matcha was served. This was just the perfect balance of sweetness from the strawberry and earthiness from the matcha. The teddy bear on top was the cutest touch.

I have to say it was the best ube drink I have ever tried. The coconut mixed with the strawberry and matcha is a game changer. The teddy bear made of ice was so cute and makes for a cool IG pic. The owner was sweet enough to ask if we liked it. I gave her the thumbs up and said they were excellent and that we will be back. Oddly they also serve pho here, it's not a restaurant per se. We didn't have any so I can't comment. But definitely come for these yummy Vietnamese concoctions. Street meter parking only.

Most of their beans are single-origin, and while some may be a little nervous that it's next to a gas station, rest assured, it will be one of the best coffees you will ever enjoy. Bold statement, but a true statement. Seating is very limited. One side has four seats at a long bench table, while the other side offers two seats. There was also a table with a few chairs outside. This place has espresso drinks, coffee, a limited tea selection (tea bags, not loose leaf), banana bread, croissants, and other various baked items. We had a buttery croissant and banana bread -- both were heated up and outstanding!! The coffee beans are roasted in-house, and they also offer coffee on tap. It turns out they have several locations, and they all roast their own beans on-site. You can also purchase beans to grind at home, should you choose. Parking is tight but free. They do have a bathroom if you need to use it, and the baristas who work there are all experts at making coffee. They are incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, and are great to chat with about their beans when the place is at a rare slow time. They are dedicated to their craft. Anytime we are nearby, this will be the only place we will be stopping for a supreme cup of java. My biggest regret: not purchasing a bag to take home. The Roast'd Legender is calling out to me.
