It's quite popular, so there are always people coming in and out. Because of that, I would describe it as having more of a social vibe than a study vibe. I would definitely recommend trying the mochi dessert and matcha. The mochi was the highlight for me, while the matcha was good but not exceptional. While I enjoyed my visit, I probably wouldn't come back specifically to study due to the busy atmosphere. Ratings * Matcha: 3.8/5 * Mochi: 4/5 * Vibes: 3/5

Ambiance is calm and peaceful and cute decor fills the place, starting with three big ole bear dolls sitting on a swing on the front window display. Would come back just to try more flavors! We got oreo, biscoff, hershey's chocolate, and blueberry cookies. They are just the right sweet, not too sweet and still flavorful. It's what makes the cookie eatable in bulk I say! Also got the Americano, it's very light which I love. The straw is a pink heart shape, so soo cute.

Matcha latte Oakobing is a popular Korean dessert cafe in Koreatown known for its bingsu (shaved ice). The ice is shaved super fine and topped with fresh fruit and creamy milk drizzle. Tried the strawberry bingsu and a matcha latte -- perfect mix of fresh, creamy, and not too sweet.

Cute Korean shaved ice cafe! There's lots of options to choose from…read more It was super busy when we arrived. Parking is tough with the large amounts of people. Seating was completely full and spills over to an extra room they have for seating. The waiting line was out the door for the two ordering kiosks. The Injeolmi Shaved Ice was my favorite. It is a creamy milk flavor. Ice was finely shaved and melted in the mouth nicely. Mochi pieces gave it extra texture. Dirty green tea oreo shaved ice has a shot of coffee on the side to drizzle on. The green tea isn't really a strong taste and the ice just makes it more watery. Coffee drizzled on just made the dessert a little more bitter. Overall an okay place for shaved ice. I'll probably only order the injeolmi shaved ice next time!

What a delicious dessert spot! We visited on a Sunday night and although it was busy we were able…read moreto get a table fairly quickly. It's a small space with about 5-6 tables inside and a bench outside. My friends and I ordered a little bit of everything to share. I had the Thai tea and I liked that it wasn't too sweet.

I highly recommend to check out if you are looking for a great dessert spot to satisfy your sweet tooth!

We came on Memorial Day around 3pm, and we waited in a decent line. It was fast-moving, and thankfully, we managed to get a table in the indoor seating area right away. To-go was not an option because we'd ordered the signature mango sticky rice shaved ice, which is HEFTY. It's like eating a dessert meal in terms of serving size, but it's light and fresh enough to follow a Thai food lunch from one of the nearby restaurants (which is what we did). The mango sticky rice shaved ice was delicious. If you like either mango sticky rice or Taiwanese mango shaved ice (or Korean bingsoo), you will love this. It's served with condensed milk, sticky rice, and additional mango on the side to add on as you eat. It's definitely enough for at least 2-3 people to share. We also had a couple orders of gelato, which surpassed our expectations. One of us, who spent 4 months in Italy, said it was some of the best gelato she'd ever had. Standout flavors included jasmine matcha and Earl Grey Thai tea. Do yourself a favor and stop by! We got pretty lucky with parking because all the nearby meters were free for Memorial Day, and I can imagine parking might be difficult at night. But this dessert is well worth a parking hassle!

This cafe has a nice ambiance and free parking! Something that you don't really see in ktown…read more I visited during the weekday so it wasn't packed. Their photo booth is really cute and easy to use, but you do have to pay $10 which is not bad at all. They have their pastries facing the street entrance to the cafe (not the entrance from the parking lot). I didn't know that they had pastries on display until after I had payed for drinks and had to make line again. Can't imagine how frustrating it can be when it's a bit busy and having to make line again. I ordered a regular matcha latte with oat milk, the color was promising but once I took a sip of it I was disappointed. If you're a person that likes sweet matcha then this is for you. I personally I didn't like it just because it was sweet and grainy. I could see matcha but could not taste it. My sister got an iced vanilla latte and said it was really good! Not too sweet and not bitter either. I would have to go for an iced latte if I ever come back to visit!

If she didn't insist I think I would choose that last or gave it away. BUT I did try it and fell in love with it. I did share other items selected by my friend who was with me and did not get to taste them. The baristas were fun and friendly as they prepared our coffee. I was in deep thought waiting and one asked if I was okay and I said I was very good after coming back to the present. I'll be back for more dinosaur churros, coffee and other yummy treats.

I understand stuff happening that causes delays or closing the store for the day. But this is constant with them. For the high price point of their limited food and drink options. And the uncertainty if they will even be open at their posted times. I would suggest rather going to one of the MANY other cheaper and consistent cafes in K Town.

Crunch was on point. Not too sweet. Nailed the blueberry flavor 3. Apple -3/5 4. Berry cubed - boyfriend said "definitely tastes like berries" 5. Lychee - loved the strong oolong flavor that helped combat the sweet of the dessert. 6. Bing Chillin - so good. Banana was surprisingly my favorite. I don't usually like banana anything but this one was different l. Must be the whipping cream or something. All in all I understand it's pricy but you get what you pay for. It was delicious and not too sweet. Hard to nail the flavors while making sure the sweetness is not overwhelming so I think Tucha did a great job.

What I loved: Dubai dream cake! Hands down worth the drive, it's the best dessert option they have. Creamy balanced flavors, well layered, and with a texture that is irresistibly fun to eat. I love the heart container. We bought almost all of every piece dessert except for two along with the ice cream bites. Needless to say, we were not impressed. Each pastry had the same lingering aftertaste which was odd, the fresh strawberry topping was old, the gelatin like texture did not complement the watery centers, and the outside chocolate shell had no flavor. Of course, if you like these details of texture, you may dig it! Just definitely not for me. The ice cream bites resemble a frozen yogurt like texture and although I appreciate the all natural fruit product, the flavors didn't quite come through. The space inside is small, clean, and cozy. We weren't really warmly welcomed but did receive a kind goodbye after we picked up our order and had tipped generously. The Togo boxes could use improvement as they were so flimsy and hard to store in the fridge. The carry out bag is SO nice though. We're happy to have supported the business but will not drive out there again. Try your luck, it is fun to explore!
