Sasha ChinnayaFebruary 22, 2018I really like the environment. it’s chill and artsy in a very simple, comforting way. I think it’s the space, the art hanging up and of course the treats! green tea matcha waffle is 😍 ;teas = amazing

My favorite cafe in Manhattan. Get the Hodduk, matcha jasmine latte, or mango shaved ice. A great space for meeting w/ friends.
Toby's estate & sight class coffee can be found - heaven for coffee lovers in Ktown. I was initially attracted to the place by its art, but oh boy the soy latte is one of the best! Say hi to Annabelle
The milk and honey shaved snow ice was incredible! The "snow" is creamier than normal shaved ice and the combination of tapioca pearls with honey was amazing! The jasmine milk tea was great too.
Beril EsenJuly 28, 2017Delicious and highly filling Korean desserts. The O.G. was delicious. Next time I come back, I promised myself to try the Elixir and a ho-dduk. Come in a big group so that you can try all!

Xeolly VzétoDecember 29, 2017The waffles here are amazing! There's a lot of seats so you won't be waiting in line for a long time. Very lively place and service is good. Mochi waffle was $11 and the matcha waffle was $10.
Christine TranSeptember 9, 2016Best warm treats: Hodduck and Hong Kong French Toast. Best cold treats: O.G. and Mango Madness shaved snow.

Honghui YuMay 17, 2018Delicious shaved snow that comes in three flavors (black sesame, green tea and sweet milk) and a diverse range of toppings. You can either create your own and order one of their signature combos.Upvoted Dec 12, 2024- The Ho-Dduk is really yummy! Cinnamon doughnut with vanilla ice cream! The Shaved snow here is the best that I've had in New York. But not quite as light and fluffy as other places I've had it.Upvoted Dec 12, 2024
The desserts here are stellar. Recommended: cookie monster shaved ice. It's so, so good. My friend also loved the mango madness shaved ice.
Jean 💜September 15, 2014The toasted black sesame shaved snow ice is not like the typical 팥빙수 (paht bing soo, aka Korean shaved ice) but is like the Taiwanese snow dessert. The texture is more akin to an airier sherbert.

ℳ𝒶𝓎♍July 9, 2018Desserts with an Asian twist along with friendly service & tons of space. The rose latte, shaved ice or butterfly lemonade probably brought you here,now that you're here there's so much more to sample
David SohnSeptember 5, 2013This type of ho-dduk has been really popular in Seoul. Not the typical ho-dduk griddle fried from a street cart but what you find in a nice cafe in Apgujeong or Garosu-gil... light, airy, and refined.Upvoted Dec 12, 2024- Love what they have done with this place! With the added long tables and couches, one of the largest (and cleanest) cafe spots in the city. Bring your laptop, order a coffee and a hodduk, and chill!
AnthonyJanuary 11, 2017Spacious and fast service. Desserts are perfect for sharing especially after dinner. Coffee and tea are top notch. Try their matcha ice cream waffle
Best coffee in k town. Love spending early mornings here when it's not too crowded w great company of chill die music playlist #mochaaffogatoUpvoted Dec 12, 2024
Victoria MazzukiOctober 18, 2016Easily the most spacious coffee shop in NYC. The coffee and food are both great, but I come for the snow!

I've had the mocha, americano, and affogato, all of which were excellent. Try the ho dduk if you need something sweet. Can get crowded on the weekends.Upvoted Dec 12, 2024
Sarah KimDecember 20, 2019Overpriced dessert but people come here more for the vibe to lounge, connect, talk than just eat & leave. Love their altruistic ideals & philanthropic intentions, so I don’t mind paying the extra $$$Upvoted Dec 12, 2024
Best patbingsoo I've ever had! Shaved ice is so soft and creamy. Hodduk (Korean beignet/mochi fusion) with ice cream also a must try.
LaylaOctober 18, 2019Asian dessert heaven! The ice shavings look amazing although quite pricey! Get the 2 scoop matcha ice cream for 5$ for a cheaper option ;)
Frederick AquinoFebruary 4, 2012Ho-dduk is excellent! Korean pancake stuffed with brown sugar and walnut filling. Warm, gooey, soft, crunchy and not too sweet. It's like a Korean style sticky bun. Very comforting!
Mini mochi - you get to choose 4 from vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, mango, coffee, black sesame and green tea. (Highly recommend the last 4)
christian svanes koldingMarch 3, 2014caveat emptor, there's an undercurrent of evangelical christianity here, confirmed by my colleague who went to christian schools as a kid. same vibe, she says. the coffee is good, as are the ho-dduk.Upvoted Dec 12, 2024
Polina WeitzSeptember 12, 2022Huge space, open late (sometimes overrun by teens...), with solid desserts, Korean and others (I loved the basque cheesecake!). Seating is at communal tables and it can get loud.
Yifen JOctober 12, 2013Ho-dduk? Get at it. Delicious, hot, made to order donut filled w a cinnamon-y syrup and crushed walnuts. Very sweet, but perfect w coffee.Upvoted Dec 12, 2024
I enjoyed their affogato and the waffle green tea ice cream. Go lounge on the couch with friends while enjoying your sweets :)
Donna YeeSeptember 2, 2015Yes the hodduk is delicious but you should also check out the churro waffle. It's drool worthy.
Upvoted Dec 12, 2024
Absolutely divine chocolate waffles with vanilla ice cream and fresh strawberries. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😍😍
Alyssa B.September 26, 2021The Basque burnt cheesecake is creamy, balanced by the subtle burnt top, not overwhelmingly rich or dense. Also cool how it comes in mini cakes
Serious EatsAugust 12, 2013Beautiful, spacious cafe with great Korean doughnuts (ho-dduk) best topped with ice cream.
John ADecember 20, 2014Excellent vibe, leather couches, lively clients, very handsome waiters. Recommend: chocolate croissant and the sweet potato latte.
The Korean-style doughnut is amazing, but I can't eat it because of a walnut allergy.Upvoted Dec 29, 2024
Kaz K.July 12, 2015hodduk tastes like a Cinnabon. at night, you're seated and they cut it for you. in the day, you can order them whole and seat yourself. $5.99.

Pam ☕️ OJune 21, 2015Spanish affogato is no different than the original. The condensed milk and cinnamon don't really shine. Go with the basics and get the original.Upvoted Dec 12, 2024
You can tell this is different from the usual Korean dessert spots. A much better alternative than SPOT. Get doughnuts!Upvoted Dec 12, 2024
Maggie LiuJuly 22, 2013A great space for two or a big group (super comfy sofas)! Must try the hodduk - it's fried unlike the traditional hodduk but still has the brown sugar nutty yumminess.
Wonderful, quaint and gigantic space to catch some calm in midtown. Outlets aplenty, but no wifi. Get the ho-dduk and catch up with a friend here!
Sue EllenNovember 11, 2017So much space to do work in! The problem is they don’t have WiFi. Loved their latte and their Korean main dessert
Adam ShuvAugust 4, 2015The Hodduk is amazing but... Be super carful from the ultra hotttt sauce inside when you take a bite. I got burned twice! 😁Upvoted Dec 12, 2024
Adrienne StanleyJanuary 21, 2014Excellent Korean coffeehouse in the heart of K-Town. Some of the best coffee to be found near Penn Station.Upvoted Dec 12, 2024
BommyOctober 19, 2015Hodduk is a must order but DO NOT bite into it until it's been sufficiently cooled. The honey will squirt out and you will get burned.Upvoted Dec 12, 2024
SiobhánFebruary 18, 2018The beignets have a vegan and non vegan option, and you definitely get your money's worth.Upvoted Dec 12, 2024
Danielle WilliamsNovember 3, 2013The hot blackcurrant tea is amazing and there are plenty of plug outlets! Only thing it's missing is wifi, but otherwise, this is the perfect place to hang and have a coffee.
Mouy TaingFebruary 11, 2019This place is amazing!! Order all your toppings on the side (😉) you’re able to get more!Upvoted Dec 12, 2024
Lola OlatejuJuly 19, 2013Great latte, and no extra charge for the soy! Major tip: this is a cash only establishment.

"This the best dessert place in all of NYC hidden on a quiet block in Chinatown! I’ve yet to try a kakigori flavor I didn’t like and I’ve tried most of them! Hojicha is a favorite."
