    Nutella Croffle
    Shivani K.

    This place is always busy - and for good reason. The desserts are very tasty, the works are quick to get orders out. Definitely a lot of younger people studying and hanging around for hours , but still plenty of space for people to come and go. The teas and coffee drinks are very good.

    Cookies and creme bingsu
    Pearl L.

    I thought I left a review for this place years ago but it seems I completely forgot and I want to fix that now. I have visited this spot at least three times now and I have never had a bad experience. The employees here are polite and ensure to get your order right every time. I come here for the bingsus mostly but the drinks here are great too. This most recent visit, my boyfriend and I got their cookies and cream bingsu. They were extremely busy and all the tables and chairs were taken up by bigger groups but my boyfriend and I were able to find one table with two chairs and we sat down to wait for our order. After several minutes, our order was ready and the presentation and generous portion for the price is perfect for two people. I love that it comes with a little thing of condensed milk as that really makes each bite more creamy and tasty. They usually have utensils but it looked like they have been so busy that plastic ones were given to us. However, I think that is great cause this spot is one of the better Korean cafe spots in Washington that my family is willing to drive to Lynnwood from Federal Way. They have way more better offerings, better layout and overall vibes.

    We visited Lumi Dessert and thought the space was really cute. We liked the mood lighting and the cozy fall-winter vibe. The bingsu itself was okay. The fruit tasted like it was either bought frozen or sliced before it was ripe and then frozen, so it didn't have much flavor on its own. Without the condensed milk the bingsu would have been pretty bland. Service was standard, nothing bad but nothing special. Overall, it's probably a spot we'd only go to because they stay open later than other dessert places, not necessarily for the quality of the bingsu.

    Strawberry waffle
    Catalina Q.

    The food was ok, they only have one level of sugar so if you would like a low sugar level, they can't provide that. The service was good. But it was weird because we order and they don't asked to us for here or for to go, and they immediately put our food for to go when we wanted eat inside, we had enough time to eat inside before they closed. Also, the shave iced was not similar to the examples that they exposed in their shelves.

    Injeolmi bingsu
    Kelly S.

    If you like banana desserts, definitely get the banana waffle. The waffle is flaky and light, unlike a typical bubble waffle (like that of Happy Lemon). Lots of bananas and ice cream. I didn't care for the cookie butter, but I'm just not a fillings fan. The injeolmi bingsu was pretty typical though I did like the legit injeolmi rice cake where others just substitute with white mochi. I would return and will try the Redmond one since I'm closer to that.

    Injeolmi and taro bingsoo (shaved ice)
    Scotty L.

    Great spot to study, meet a date, or hang out with your friends! They have coffee, tea, boba, and shaved ice! Shaved ice is Korean style and is made from milk and not water - so it is a lot softer and tastes great. I'd recommend getting a regular size for 2 people. Staff are chill and nice - just small cozy cafe vibes.

    Strawberry bingsu and injeolmi red bean bingsu
    Sabrina C.

    Just got back from Korea a few months ago and had bingsu every other day so my standards are pretty high but I've also tried almost every bingsu place in the greater Seattle area and I'd say LUMI is pretty mid. I appreciate that they add layers of toppings in the middle so you have plenty of toppings throughout the dessert, however, I thought the strawberry syrup they use was too sweet and the mochi on the injeolmi was stale. Other than that, it was pretty standard, nothing special. Service was friendly and there's a parking garage in the building. Fairly small spot so there's a few tables and bar seating.

    Strawberry milk tea
    Annie C.

    I've been wanting to try this dessert place for a while but finally had the chance to come up to Lynwood when I was doing some errands nearby. My partner and I decided to come here on an afternoon for a quick dessert break. We were craving for some shaved ice at the time. Upon entering the shop, there were numerous tables around with some window seats available. There was a glass display by the wall with fake dessert models that shows what each desserts look like. There were only two people working behind the counter at the time so we had to flagged them when ordering. We decided to share a mango cheesecake bingsu and a strawberry milk tea to try. Overall, the mango cheesecake bingsu was delicious! Presentation was amazing and too pretty to eat! The shaved ice is like snow-like texture and tasted milky. They load a lot of frozen mango chunks and fresh mangos onto the dessert with a mango sorbet on top. Drizzle it all with condensed milk. I wished there were more pieces of cheesecake to go with the mango though. The strawberry milk tea was okay, not enough tea flavor imo. So glad I got to try this place out! It is a nice cozy place to hang out especially those who enjoys desserts. One thing that will be helpful with ordering is adding a kiosk by the counter. I heard there's another location in Redmond so I will have to give that location a try next time.

    It is mango season right now and their mango cheesecake bingsu is a must order for the summer. The mango is super sweet, juicy, and soft. Good to share with friends and family, we got a shareable size that was about $20. Comes with condensed milk and mini cheesecake bites.

    Apple Pie Golden Toast
    Talha F.

    I went to LUMI Dessert Cafe with my cousin and his wife and we had a few desserts. We had the Golden Toast Apple Pie ($17.75), which came with buttery toasted milk bread and caramelized apples, crumbled biscuit, homemade whipped cream, and caramel sauce drizzle. The dessert came with a scoop of locally made vanilla bean ice cream that was rich and creamy. We also tried the Strawberry Nutella Egg Waffle ($15.75), and it included fresh strawberries, Nutella, granola, and chocolate ice cream. Both were delicious and beautifully garnished. The portion sizes were huge and perfect for sharing, which makes it a great place for a friend hangout or low-key date night. The atmosphere is cozy and modern, and it's nice to relax and treat yourself to something sweet. Keep in mind that there isn't any table service. You pay ahead of time, pick up your food when it is ready, and you clean up after yourself when you are done. It is more of a self-service, laid-back environment. It is a bit pricey for dessert, but the presentation, quality, and portion size are worth it.

    Mango and Berries Toast
    Viola P.

    The food and service was amazing. Each dessert is probably enough for 2-3 people but my husband each got one and that was our dinner. Both of them were so good.

    Went around closing time so props to them for not rushing us. Everything was good. 20$ per plate included a 10% tip, so kind of pricey.

    Fake Food Display
    Albert T.

    Nice dessert cafe with a large menu full of treats, including Bingsu, Honey/Brick Toast, Milk Teas, and more. This was our first shaved ice/snow spot after moving from Michigan, and I was a bit surprised at the pricing and portion sizes. Seattle is more expensive, yes, but portion sizes here seem to be only a third of what I'm used to combined with pricing that's around 50% more. Not to mention that looking at the past pictures of the menu, it looks like over the past year Lumi raised the prices by 25-30%. Yikes! Taro Bingsu, Single ($14.99) - This bingsu has a red bean core surrounded by super light and fluffy snow filled with taro flavor. There are fruit jellies and sliced almond surrounding the rim of the bowl the bingsu is served in. I'm not actually sure they belong in this dish - the jellies become a bit hard, and the almonds kind of feel out of place. Maybe chunks of tender, taro pudding, and taro balls would be a better fit? There's a scoop of vanilla Ice cream added to the top. I have no idea who the manufacturer is, but it's kind of gummy and icy. I like that Lumi gives the condensed milk on the side, which allowed us to sweeten to preference. This bingsu comes with boba, but we asked for it on the side to try it in the freshest form. Even when freshly scooped and warm, the boba is firm, so when cooled in the dessert, the pearls become really hard. I'm not sure I would get the boba drinks here given the texture. (4/5) Mango & Berries Golden Toast ($17.75) - Staring with the bread, it's a thick brick toast bread with a nicely chewy and fluffy interior and good toasted exterior. Lumi takes the lazy way out by only cutting four crisscrosses in the toast instead of hollowing it out and cubing, toasting, and reinserting the insides like other places. This makes it so that we had to cut the bread ourselves for the most part using the butter knife that we were supplied with. A butter knife is wholly inappropriate for this application - Lumi should really supply bread or steak knives for the toast. Otherwise, the toast is covered with a mango syrup and topped with raspberries, blueberries, canned pineapple, and cut mango. For some reason they sprinkle some rosemary on top as well, which I found a bit puzzling. There's also a scoop of mango sorbet, which I found to be on the icy side, with some hard, larger pieces of ice embedded inside. (4/5) The desserts served at Lumi are certainly tasty, but I'm not sure I'm willing to regularly spend $40 on dessert! As a side note, I also wish they had non fruit toasts!

My friend and I visited on a quiet Sunday afternoon - a perfect setting for long chats. They also had a clothing pop-up in a cozy corner.

Everything was delicious, extremely high quality and so esthetic. I loved the little details, like the spoon shaped like a little spade and a pink straw with a heart cross section. We had a very happy time at Our Place. Visiting here was like being transported to Korea. They even have croffles with flavors like brown cheese, and ube einspanners, and injeolmi bingsu!

While waiting for my order you can see the enthusiasm and joy of the employees. Even in the late hours with a few minutes before closing they were smiling- and it was just pretty good customer service all around. Taro balls were soft and chewy. Grass jelly was firm and fresh.

Much of the hot soups just had waaaaay too much stuff in them. But adding the red bean soup by itself without all the foo foo stuff maybe 2 years ago was very welcome, albeit it's buried deep in the menu to find. This was very welcome to see and their red bean soup was noteworthy for repeat visits. However, in the last 2 visits, not sure if they changed something in the recipe, the red bean soup is now TOP TIER. Top Tier for USA that is, and well, that's where we are right now. It's DELISH, pick 2 sides, so far always peanuts, and either almond pudding or black sesame ball have been just smile oozing good. So good it's almost always on our minds after a dinner somewhere that we have to stop in at the Bellevue Meet Fresh right after to finish the night. It's so gooooood! Just the red bean soup and 2 sides! Do it!!!!

With a mix of sweetness, tartness, and acidity, the bingsoo has balance and the contrast actually helps each flavor shine. The berry juices even add flavor to the bingsoo below (and there are berries at the bottom). The only mediocre aspect is the whipped cream on top which is just whatever. Taro Bingsoo - the menu has alternated between ube ice cream and taro ice cream but I think it's always been taro ice cream because it's not overly sweet. Red bean is also sweet but after devouring the toppings (including the ice cream), the bingsoo itself doesn't offer much. It's sweet shaved milk with condensed milk but the taro flavor isn't as potent.
