    Very very delicious went with my friend got this. Don't even know what it is, but it was perfect. It was my first time at this location and they're very kind and answered the questions that I had. I also went back the next day for I think I got mango flavor and oh my goodness that one was so good. You need to get this you need to go. It's very nice inside. There's plenty of seating, not too crowded.

    Went to Somi Somi for dessert but decided to try this ice place. Really tasty and fresh. Recommend

    oreo bingsoo

    Been coming to Sul & Beans for YEARS and recently we've noticed a huge decrease in the quality of their bingsoo (which is the primary reason we drive up to convoy). The shaved ice itself used to melt and still be creamy, now when it melts it's super watery. The taste is lacking sweetness, it feels like 1% milk with added water. Same thing for the condensed milk on the side, we are used to it being watered down but recently it's been watered down more or maybe it's a different brand. The entire quality of the dessert has gone downhill and is not worth its price point if it keeps getting watered down and losing what made it a desert in the first place, sweetness that wasn't overwhelmingly. I can't say I recommend this place anymore for bingsoo. It's disappointing and sad.

    Came here to get a strawberry bingsoo with thick mochi pieces on top which was perfect for a hot summer day. Always slaps hard hitting that refreshing need to cool down your innards. I'd say 3-4 people for 1 bowl will be sufficient. Service quality could be nicer but they'll get you set up for your order efficiently.

    Sul & Beans is pretty known for the bingsu. The parking here very small and limited so it's best if you come during off peak hours (noon/afternoon). The interior does have a good amount of seating but because it's so popular, there might be a little to none and it also gets really loud. There was music playing, but we couldn't hear it because of how loud it was so I wouldn't recommend coming here to study. You order at the front and they will yell your name, but it was hard to know when you got your food because of how loud it was. We ordered the strawberry cheese and it was good, but it just melted really fast that it became sweet soup towards the end. So I probably wouldn't get the Bingsu again unless there's more people to eat it quickly with. Their toast does look good so I'll be coming back to try that. The woman's bathroom also does have two bathrooms, which is nice. But for the strawberry cheese bingsu, it does taste good. It's just shaved frozen milk with strawberry chunks and also cheesecake and they do give you condensed milk, but it was very watery.

    Vibe/Interior: It feels like a cafe that you could sit and catch up with friends and family for hours because it's so cozy with plenty of tables and seating. It shares a space with Somi Somi so there's a dessert for everyone. Standouts: Strawberry bingsoo - generous heaps of strawberries and condensed milk Service: So fast and the staff are kind! They offered a pup cup for our dog Value: The portion is large so you can split it between 2 people Parking: There is a paid parking lot in the front and totally worth it! Pro Tips: Ask for a side of extra condensed milk

    Decent bingsoo! It was nice that I could add strawberries on the side for a couple dollars and they gave A LOT. I've tried the LA location before and this is about the same. I love injeolmi but unfortunately, the mochi was not great, I had to eat around it.

    Refreshing on a hot day, and not too sweet. I recommend the strawberry flavor and the chocolate banana.

    Ok so my friends and I have this rule, "always leave room for dessert," lol. We'd just had a big meal but still decided to pop in here because honestly, why not? This place is lowkey one of the best spots in Convoy for Bingsoo. It's right next to Somi-Somi, and they also do Taiyakis which is a nice little bonus. I got the Injeolmi Bingsoo and omg, where has this been all my life?? For anyone who doesn't know, injeolmis are basically the Korean version of mochis but with this nuttier vibe so good. The bingsoo ice itself was super light and fluffy, not too sweet either which is totally my thing. My friends went for the strawberry bingsoo and nutella taiyakis and they were obsessed. No complaints at all. The spot wasn't packed when we showed up, the space is actually pretty roomy with tons of seating, and the service was fast too like no waiting around forever. Basically if you're anywhere near Convoy and need a dessert fix, just come here. You won't regret it!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    I love bingsu! There was a lot of berries and the bingsu was soft. I would come back! Seating is shared with Somi Somi

    Sul & Beans is the left half of the Korean dessert complex at a small plaza in the Convoy District. Parking in this lot can be challenging, but if you come at an off-peak time like I did, then open spaces will be available. Plenty of tables were set up in the dining area if you wanted to hang out. I think you may still need to request a temporary password at the service counter to use the encrypted WiFi signal. This side of the suite offered different flavors of injeolmi (Korean sweet rice cake/toast), bingsoo (Korean shaved ice), and boong uh bbang (Korean goldfish bread). Coffee, tea, and some hot/cold beverages were available for drinks. My order was a Green Grape Ade and two flavors of boong uh bbang, matcha custard and red bean. The goldfish bread was prepared in the common kitchen area shared with Somi Somi. The drink was ready first. It was a meager serving size of 12 oz for $5.75. At the very least, the cup should have been 16 oz for such a price. The grape flavor was also diluted from the ice cubes. The bread was like a light crispy waffle. Both fillings were not too sweet. The red bean had a more prominent taste which I preferred over the matcha custard. Compared to other dessert options in this neighborhood, my Sul & Beans experience was at a three star level.

    Every night is hopping. Came for a quick $15 bingsoo and could barely find a table. It's light, fluffy, refreshing, and the mochi is consistently soft and chewy -- probably why it's always packed. Definitely a young crowd, very Asian dessert vibes, and being right next to Somi Somi makes it a full sweet-tooth zone. Parking is a challenge, but honestly it's worth the wait. Glad there's so much energy and happy vibe there!

    Sul & Beans is a Korean dessert café specializing in bingsoo, shaved ice desserts, and other treats that are perfect for sharing. We walked into a space with a casual café atmosphere, the kind of place where you can settle in and enjoy dessert rather than just grabbing something to go. The seating is comfortable and the layout makes it easy to linger, which fits the style of the desserts since bingsoo is best enjoyed slowly, especially when sharing with a group. The strawberry bingsoo is one of the highlights and a great choice if you want something refreshing. The shaved ice has a soft, fluffy texture that feels much lighter than regular shaved ice, almost melting as you eat it. The strawberry topping adds a bright sweetness that balances well with the creamy base, and the portion size makes it easy to share. We found it felt indulgent without being overly heavy, especially compared to richer desserts, and the fruit tasted fresh rather than syrupy. Beyond the strawberry option, Sul & Beans has a variety of flavors worth exploring. The injeolmi bingsoo stands out for a more traditional Korean flavor with its combination of rice cake, nutty powder, and a subtle sweetness that feels more complex than the fruit-based versions. The green tea, black sesame, and mango versions offer different profiles depending on whether you prefer something earthy, rich, or fruity. The taiyaki is another nice addition if you want something warm alongside the cold dessert, with a crisp exterior and a sweet filling that contrasts well with the shaved ice. The café can get busy, especially during peak dessert hours, but the experience works well for groups since the bingsoo portions are generous. The staff handle the flow efficiently, and the turnover moves at a steady pace without making the experience feel rushed. It is the kind of place where you can slow down and share a dessert after a meal or stop by specifically for a sweet treat. Sul & Beans is a great spot for Korean-style desserts in San Diego. The combination of fluffy shaved ice, creative flavors, and generous portions makes it a place worth visiting, especially if you are looking for something different from the usual ice cream or dessert options. The focus on quality ingredients and thoughtful flavor combinations makes each bowl feel more considered than a typical dessert stop.

    We've been wanting to check out Long Play Hi-Fi for a while, and after finally finding it (which is…read morepart of the experience ).. It's got this hidden, almost speakeasy vibe. You ring the doorbell, wait patiently, and once you're inside, you realize this isn't your typical coffee shop. It's a place to slow down, enjoy the music, and savor your drink. Monique and Danica were both amazing. They're warm, welcoming, and you can really see the passion behind what they do. Danica is also the DJ, and her eclectic playlist made the whole experience even better. One of my favorite parts was just sitting there watching our drinks being made. You can see the care and craft that goes into every cup...even the Kuramoto ice is beautiful. The Matcha Americano completely changed my perception of matcha. The Kyoto cold brew pour-over was fascinating to watch and incredibly smooth. We loved it so much that we came back the very next day. This time I had the Midori, and my brother-in-law loved the Highball, especially the yuzu. No laptops. Trust the DJ. Drinks are meant to be enjoyed fresh, so take your time. If you're looking for a quick coffee run, this isn't it. But if you appreciate great coffee, good music, and people who are passionate about their craft, Long Play Hi-Fi is absolutely worth the visit.

My hubby and I ordered the coconut sundae which came with 3 scoops of whatever ice cream you wanted. We did two scoops of coconut ice cream and one vanilla. It was topped with fresh mango and coconut flesh. The sundae was perfect because it wasn't overly sweet and the mango and coconut ice cream paired well. I ordered the bar bin to go. Think squares of coconut pancakes. I was disappointed thinking they'd be on the sweeter and stickier side but they were somewhat dry and not sweet at all. The coffee drinks are excellent. We ordered an iced caramel macchiato to go and it was creamy and coffee forward. Parking and seating are limited so you may need to take it to go or share space with your neighbor. Service was nice and the employees were cheerful.
