    We were a group of 6. We had some coffee and hot and cold chocolate. We had the carrot cake, tiramisu and Bing Soo. The cakes were good, nothing crazy. We've had better Bing Soo elsewhere, but it's not bad. The lone Barista was fast, efficient, but friendly. I jokingly said she could be a K Pop star---very attractive and friendly. She handled the crowd easily. The place is spacious enough. Parking is quite limited.

    We stopped here for Korean shaved ice and it blew my mind. The mango was so good and tasty. Fluffy and full of flavor.

    Tiramisu Shaved Ice
    Rosalyn L.

    Came here for dessert after dinner with a group of 7 and ordered a tiramisu shaved ice, strawberry shaved ice, mango shaved ice, a tiramisu croffle, a strawberry matcha latte and a chocolate strawberry latte. The shaved ices were all delicious and my favourites were the strawberry and mango ones. The tiramisu came in only the large size so it was huge and had a big slice of tiramisu topping it. The drinks left much to be desired.. The strawberry matcha latte was probably one of the worst I've had, with the matcha not being dissolved properly, making it super powdery and bitter. The matcha they used was definitely a low grade culinary matcha. I could only manage a couple sips before tossing it. The chocolate strawberry latte was bought as a replacement for the strawberry matcha, and it was better but super sweet. We had to let the ice melt before drinking it. I would definitely come back again for their shaved ice but am skipping the drinks next time!

    Mango bingsoo

    Great place to get bingsoo! It's a bit on the pricey side for shaved ice, but it's worth treating yourself once in a while. The mango was recommended, so we had this one. I really thought it was one of the best korean shaved ice I have ever had and would love to go for this again, trying other flavors. The service is quick and efficient. The staff was helpful with giving an idea of the portion sizes. I only wish that tiramisu came in a smaller size. The decor is cute and cozy. I'd come back to try more flavors.

    Our serving with small cubes

    A most disappointing experience by any standards but especially given the previously positive experience. We ordered the mango bongo, large. It was served with small bits of what appears to be frozen mango. Previously and as shown in many Yelp photos here, it was large fresh cut chunks. This is also how it appears on their menu. We were deeply disappointed, partly because they charged $17.50 for a large. We complained. While there was no apology offered, they did offer extra mango topping. But it just dampened the whole experience. The extra noisy table of 10 youngsters next to us did not help neither.

    With all the heat-wave warnings in Vancouver, I would rather be in this shaved-ice dessert cafe than cooped indoors! Passion8 has been my go-to spot for quite some time now and I have always tried a new flavour and never been disappointed! However, my favorite would have to be Mango Bango or Taro! It's shaved ice + ice cream + mango (or taro)... who wouldn't want that?! Their portion are huge! if you get there large, it is like a whole meal. I usually get a large to-go and have it the next day. Life hack to beat the heat this summer :)

    Injeolmi Snow + Mango Snow + Americano
    Dana S.

    I came here with a friend to try their shaved ice! I don't think they have the toasts on their menu anymore (although the person who took our order mentioned they were out of stock of a few things, so maybe that was one of the things that was greyed out on the menu) - it was just shaved ice, cake slices, and drinks. The menu as it is still offers lots of options. I was sorely tempted by the beautiful carrot cake in the display, but I had my heart set on shaved ice, so I got the injeolmi snow and an americano to offset the cold dessert in the cold weather. The shaved ice was very creamy, and I enjoyed the nutty flavour of the liberal dusting of soybean powder and red beans with the chewy mochi. There was one big mochi ball on top but I was surprised by how many smaller mochi pieces were mixed in. They definitely did not skimp on toppings for either my shaved ice or for my friend who got the mango snow. My americano actually exceeded my expectations, it was pretty strong and had a rich flavour. Order at the counter and they'll call out your order when it's ready for you to pick up. The person working the front was very nice and gave my friend recommendations. The ambiance is nothing fancy but we found it very comfortable and relaxed.

    Cute dessert shop on Cambie and 14th that serves mostly bingsoo (milk shaved ice) as well as some drinks and toast. There's a tiny parking lot in front with 4 spots, but chances are it'll be full and you'll have to do street parking nearby. My party of 4 came by Sunday afternoon around 3:30 and it was pretty empty. It was a hot day out, so some cool bingsoo was exactly what we needed. We ordered two large Mango Bongo's to share, at $16.90 each. It comes with fresh mango as well as small homemade cheesecake pieces and a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. The Mango Bongo was really good... the mango was super fresh and sweet and went well with the shaved ice. There was some more mango flavor deep into the bingsoo, but I would've liked to be surprised by more mango or perhaps something crunchy instead, to keep things interesting.

    Mango bongo - large as big as a wheel!
    Tom W.

    Imagine a Bingsoo as big as a tire! Not quite. A bingsoo is a Korean dessert made of shaved flavoured ice (typically milk) topped with all kinds of goodness - fresh fruit, chocolate syrup, matcha sauce etc. Passion8 does a good job with its authentic flavour and presentation. The mango topping is generous and most refreshing especially after eating a spicy bowl of ramen or anything spicy at all. It is a self serve concept so service is rather minimal. They use to provide a water station but that was removed. Instead they sell bottled water. Still I revisit frequently so this place must be approaching 4 stars to me.

    Remains a great spot for an icy treat! Tried the large matcha, and it was great! The toppings all worked very well, including the cake, mochi, red bean and whipped cream.

    I came here on Aug 4th with my coworkers for dessert. It was busy here as usual. It took us some time to find seats here. We waited for 20 minutes for Bingsoo to come and it did not disappoint. We ordered small Injeolmi Bingsoo ($11) and Mango Bongo ($12). My coworkers really liked Mango Bongo, but I liked Injeolmi for the savory sweetness. Mango Bingsoo was sweet and tasty. Injeolmi Bingsoo wasn't too sweet which I really liked. The rice cakes inside Injeolmi Bingsoo were very soft. Ice shavings were soft and milky, YUM! Even the freeze dried orange topping was so damn tasty. Mango Bingsoo had some chopped mangos, chopped cream cheese along with ice shavings underneath. Passion 8 is an awesome place for a dessert fix or summer treat. They also sell Croffle, sweets, toasts and drinks as well.

    Strawberry Blossom (small)   Freshly sliced strawberries with ice cream and homemade cheesecake with sauce on snow-shaved ice.
    Suman K.

    Stumbled upon this place when walking around in Vancouver with a friend. We ordered the small strawberry blossom bingsoo and it was delicious! Their shaved ice was so light and pillowy with a balanced sweetness. I wish there were more than just 4 small cheesecake bites, but there were a ton of sliced strawberries all throughout the tower. The vanilla ice cream top was also a good addition. This is definitely a place that I'll come to again to try out some delicious sweet treats!

    Ricky C.

    There are a lot of tables inside and their shaved ice is delicious! I tried their red bean bingsoo and the only thing I didn't like was the pretzel cookie on top and the whipped cream, but the rest was delicious and refreshing!

    Came here for the instragramable buns. They did not disappoint. Since this was our 3rd dessert spot…read moreof the evening, we only got 2. Also, go early so that you have more bun options - they do sell out of certain flavors the later it gets. Luckily we were still able to get the two that we wanted which were black sesame and a custard buns. They were not only super cute, but they were really delicious as well. The fillings were very strong in flavor and did not disappoint. There was enough searing when I went. Next time I will have to try their coconut drinks and desserts!

So technically this was dessert #3 over the course of not even an hour. The good thing is that this was not an overwhelmingly sweet or heavy dessert. It really went down with the same ease as just a regular mango would have, but it just had some extra (mostly natural) stuff. I'd happily enjoy this deliciousness on a regular basis if I lived in Vancouver. There were a ton of menu items that looked appealing, so I'm might even be their best customer.

As I love desserts, I was so excited to see Chinatown and visit this place for the first time. This place was located in an area that would be best to walk with a friend or a small group- I was not quite prepared to see and experience what was going on all around. Finally, we made it there and were glad to order some doughnuts. As soon as we entered, we were greeted by the sweet smell of doughnuts and the two friendly staff. Everything looked so good, so narrowing down our pick was very hard! At the end, we ordered two flavours- Matcha and Tiramisu. The matcha doughnut was soft and the filling was light yet full of matcha flavour that one would expect, I loved every bite! My friend had the tiramisu doughnut and she said that she enjoyed the fluffy texture of the dough and the creamy filling- it felt like eating tiramisu in a doughnut form. If you love simple yet high quality ingredients, this place is the perfect place to get your sweet cravings fixed!

I could see some people balking at the $6 price, but I consider these a special treat.

Definitely not a place to hang out. Brendan's Rating: 3.0 Charlotte's Rating: 3.0 Shanying's Rating: 3.0 Winston's Rating: 4.0
