Went on a Saturday around noon. The line was short and moved quickly. Around 15 minutes…read more I ordered a regular iced matcha latte. The matcha is whisked and prepared on the spot. It was perfect amount of sweetness and I recommend ordering it with light ice so that the drink doesn't get watered down from ice. (5/5) Got a financier as well. It was mugwort and fig flavored one. Really soft and the flavors were balanced. The cream cheese bits definitely enhanced the flavor. (4/5 since the financier was on the pricier side) Place is cute and had some tables incase you wanted to stay a little while.

quality is TEAAA (literally..)…read more There are so many cafes that serve matcha lattes, but as someone who is VERY picky about their matcha blend, I can tell when the cafe uses ceremonial grade matcha. DAMO 100% uses ceremonial grade quality and probably 5-6g of matcha per serving!! I prefer my matcha unsweetened (occasionally having some sweetness added from the syrup/puree/cloud foam a cafe uses) and whatever blend DAMO uses..chef's kiss!! I've been here 4 times, and the quality is consistent each time! Service: quick Parking: lowkey horrible (but that's all of k-town...) Shop design: aesthetic--very minimalistic and pretty. They also have a restroom and free WiFi! Limited seats when busy :c Drinks: BOMB.com will always come back :)

Went to Oakobing around 10PM and the place was still packed, which honestly already told me the…read moredesserts were going to be good. The atmosphere was lively and cozy at the same time, with lots of people hanging out late at night enjoying dessert together. It felt like such a fun spot for a late night sweet treat. I ordered the single green tea shaved ice and the single mango melon shaved ice, and both were amazing. The texture of the shaved ice was incredibly soft and fluffy, almost like fresh snow. The green tea flavor tasted rich and authentic without being too sweet, while the mango melon one was super refreshing and loaded with fresh fruit flavor. The portions were generous even for the single size, and everything tasted really high quality. Service was also quick and friendly despite how busy it was when I went. Honestly, probably the best shaved ice I've had so far. Definitely worth the hype and somewhere I'd gladly come back to again.

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!

I've had their gelatos before, and they have very unique flavors (unfortunately the candle smoked and salty egg yolk is not my favorite because it only tastes smoky to me, but some people really love it so I think you should try it if you have the chance). We went on a hot Saturday mid-day, and lots of other people had the same idea, so we had to wait a little bit for a table. They give you a beeper so you can come back once a table is ready. This time, we ordered the mango sticky rice shaved ice, and it was so good my husband and I were mind-blown. It's fun to eat because you get multiple components on one tray, and you can continually go between eating the mango sticky rice and the shaved ice with mango gelato, mango chunks, and coconut cream. Every part of it was so yummy and refreshing, it didn't feel too difficult to share and finish between two people. They hide mango chunks inside the middle of the shaved ice too, so it's not solely a bowl of ice when you get to the bottom. I will go back again just for the mango sticky rice shaved ice because it is so unique and delicious, but when mango season is over, they stop selling it.

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!

The mochi twist was delicious and I knew it would be because I like mochi donuts. What I didn't expect to be delicious and likely my favorite treat here was the dinosaur churro. 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.
