The space is cute, staff were nice, and portions are pretty large. Parking is a bit annoying. It does seem a little pricey, though. Only downside is the shaved ice isn't super consistent. The top is sweet and fluffy, but the bottom gets more compact and less flavorful, so we had to add condensed milk. Still a solid spot overall.

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. We shared the black sesame einspanner, mango bingsu, and strawberry croffle. On the croffle, the sauce was sweet and the strawberries were perfect. 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! I highly recommend you visit.

We'll be back to try the craffles for sure. They do have two locations now, for your convenience, in Edmonds and Mill Creek. See for yourself the delightful desserts of Our Place Dessert Cafe!

I had to try their halo halo which is a typical Filipino shaved ice dessert. It was $7.99 with very little fruit or fixings. Plus, the guy taking our order asked if we wanted a snow cap. This was extra, and yet he said this is what made it a halo halo. For the price of the halo halo it should be included. Having eaten halo halo my entire life I've never heard of halo halo not having a milk topper as an option, and to charge extra was insulting. I wouldn't recommend their halo halo to anyone, but I appreciated the care they took to assemble the dessert.

I tried Snowy Village Dessert Cafe on an impulse at Renton Landing a few days ago. Read on to hear…read moremy thoughts! The food: I ordered the chocolate and strawberry mini bingsoo. (They also had the most amazing Oreo cheesecake I've ever seen in the display case!) Anyway, the bingsoo was amazing! The texture was similar to ice cream and the flavors were amazing. I also got mini mochi with mine and they were so good! However, just one mini bingsoo was around $12... The service: It did take roughly 15ish minutes to receive my food. They also forgot the mini mochi, but gave it to me when I asked and even gave me an extra little container of it! Which was super sweet of them. The environment: This is possibly the cutest building I've been in in a long time. The decor, the layout... all of it is fire. I love the plants they have at the tables and around the building!! The menu was also incredibly easy to read and understand. There are kiosks to order at and they have photos of each menu item (which was great because I originally wasn't sure what bingsoo was). There are plenty of tables, chairs, and room. There's only one single stall bathroom, however. Final thoughts: I really loved the bingsoo, it was delicious. I would love to come back for that cheesecake I saw in the display case... However, it is spendy so if I do indulge myself, it will definitely have to be only a rare treat. Also, the waiting time for my food was a little bit disappointing.

They have a large variety of flavors, but I opted for the cookie monster. It tastes like cookies, brownies, and milk. They have regular cones and gluten free cones as well. I got a kids scoop, and it was plenty for me. There is plenty of seating inside for small and large parties, with water available as well. I would come more often if it wasn't so far away from Seattle, but it is worth the trip.

Our group of five stopped in, after visiting the nearby lavender farm on a Saturday afternoon, with all of us loving it. It was a beautiful afternoon in the Pacific Northwest, and our son-in-law drove us to this shop when my wife's mom suggested we all go for ice cream (her treat). Nobody disagreed (duh). It is located in downtown Woodinville, with non-metered street parking being the norm. Serviced was great and it wasn't too busy, which was a good thing since the unusual flavors required a bit of sampling. My daughter and her husband got a 2 scooper ($8.95). The rest of us shared a flight ($13.95) which is a choice of SIX flavors in a banana split type dish. Quite a few of the offerings are Vegan (relying on pea proteins), and are very serious about eliminating cross contamination (dedicated scoops for these ice creams that are stored in a different freezer). There was outside seating, so their dog was able to sit with us as well. Out of the six flavors chosen (Vegan Soursop Sorbet, Pickle, Vanilla, Espresso Bean, Strawberry Balsamic, Death by Chocolate), I really liked the Espresso and Strawberry. The Pickle was definitely worth trying, and one could clearly taste the diced/minced pickle pieces throughout, and could actually taste the pickle juice squirting out a little bit as you bit into it. It's unusual and a seasonal flavor. After visiting, I learnt that the owner had graduated from the dairy program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, which made me happy. Both my wife and I went to school there, and we raised our daughter in the Madison area, with many happy memories of eating both Babcock ice cream from the University Union and the Chocolate Shoppe (which is HQed there). I found it interesting that this store is located so close to the University of Washington, which I've always thought of as the second 'UW', to the primary UW in Wisconsin. But in reality, outside of the old Big Ten country (i.e. the Midwest), it looks like UW is thought of as Washington, with the domain uw.edu belonging to it, as well. Oh well...

Let me say I went through my emo phase years back and I liked certain songs but even back then I would think this was weird: I dont think Hollywood Undead singing about unaliving themselves and the different ways they'd do it is an appropriate song to play in an icecream shop... It felt so weird. All the songs were the grunge emo type, which I get is someone's personal taste, but you'd think the owners would monitor what is being played. The atmosphere is so different. The price is insane for what the product is. I got the mango sticky rice and before they would put a cute thai tea bear or something on top, with a lot of rice. Now its this tiny little sample size cup of rice, nothing cute about the food, so overpriced. I get why they almost never have people there anymore. I don't know what happened but the brand took a major hit.

There were 2 employees working as slow as possible. They talked about their schedule, what they plan to do on their day off. If only they put a bit more energy into the orders.

If you're craving some bingsoo, make the trek to Bellevue if possible. This store is shared with Xi'an Noodles with a shared restroom and wifi available. Located in the Belgate plaza, there is plenty of parking. Mixed Berry Bingsoo - my favorite bingsoo because the berries are packed with flavor, sweet, and enhance the dessert. 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.
