Crema's Take
“The real draw here is the bingsoo—those Instagram-worthy Korean shaved ice desserts that arrive fluffy and generous, especially the strawberry and mango varieties that justify the extra condensed milk on the side. The matcha lattes and specialty teas are less consistent (some reviewers found them underseasoned and milky), so stick to what the regulars rave about. It's a casual family spot perfect for a leisurely afternoon treat rather than serious tea ceremony vibes.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. Slow-sit spot. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

Soooo delicious you must try!!!! The strawberry one is delicious. I ask for the condensed milk on the side cause I like to pour it once in make a little volcano hole in the middle. Hahaha I’m hooked! And they are super nice and fast service.
This new teahouse in Alameda is definitely worth trying! Just near the corner of Park and Encinal, a small cafe serves bingsoo and a variety of teas. I decided to get their Oolong Litchi Green Tea with Coconut Jelly and it was great! The tea was fragrant and the fruit was sweet.…
We tried this dessert and boba tea place yesterday, and it was absolutely fantastic! My wife and I shared the Mango Bingsoo and it was delicious and plentiful! We added an extra condensed milk for .50 (the dessert includes 1 serving of condensed milk, but I was happy we had 2…
