It has been a while since our last visit to Grace Street. Its super difficult to get a table especially on a Friday night and we were happy to see that they did minor renovation to have more tables currently.We didnt wait to be seated and orders needed to be placed first at the kiosk by the entrance. We got a bowl of Sesame Bingsu with 3 toppings, which are red bean, diced taro & condensed milk.The price is kind of high but totally understandable due to its location. The bingsu was good and refreshing with decent amount of toppings. Our favorite topping was the diced taro which was braised soft and creamy.

Such a perfect spot for a sweet fix and/or milk tea + coffee. The girl manning the door was so sweet and helpful. The food was made quickly & looked picture perfect!! We got the Mango Madness, Strawberry Lychee tea, Churro Waffles, and Vietnamese coffee - 10/10 spot

Good place for picking up pastries or desert. Burnt cheesecake is awesome! Not too sweet but full of flavors. Had the chocolate and matcha.The super sized cream puff looks great. The crust was a bit on the dry side.Ordering to go was fast and easy.A must stop at K town!

This place was pretty busy, but it took us less than 10 minutes to get a table. The people working here are nice and polite. The desserts are very good, big enough to share and aren’t too sweet. I loved the matcha ice cream on top of the waffle. I can’t wait to come back to try more of what they have to offer.

Great variety of desserts, cute atmosphere! Located in the middle of k-town. Perfect place for dessert. Place is usually very crowded and loud but it doesnt take long to get a table.

Pretty iconic dessert spot in k-town. Really enjoyed their mango madness shaved snow (so much that I forgot to take a picture until after eating a good portion of it)! I feel like their matcha ice cream waffle needs more matcha ice cream though.

After having Korean bbq in jongro, we always go fro dessert in Grace street coffee. I hate cheese cakes but their burnt chocolate cheese cake is amazing. The mango shaved snow is fantastic and very refreshing. I wasn’t impressed by the lavender milk tea. Tasted just like any other tea.

So many excellent items here. Today I had a cookie monster shaved ice and a basque cheesecake. That cheesecake was maybe my favorite ever - - super rich and the burnt parts worked wellThe place is typically crowded on weekends. Today I stopped by during a weekday lunch break, and there were just two people in front of me, and plenty of seating space.

The line is always long during peak hours, but there’s a lot of space inside and you can get through the wait and seated pretty quickly. The desserts aren’t top tier, but are still pretty decent.

Overpriced desserts. They look amazing but dont taste as good. The thing is that the ice cream is so cold that you cant enjoy the flavors.

Grace Street has become by must go stop when I visit NYC, Ive been here about 5 times now and the service has always been great along with the desserts and boba. My favorite is the Mango Madness shaved snow and the sunset lemonade, definitely a must try! Cant wait to go back again and try the basque burnt cheesecake.

Delicious!Last night we were craving some dessert and found the perfect spot in K-town.They have a great variety of food and beverages. We tried the famous burnt cheesecake and some other desserts. Everything was great 👍🏻Even though there was a long line when we arrived we only had to wait a few minutes. Fast service!

Grace Street has become the dessert shop I annoy all my friends with by asking them to go with me every time I see them. If I had the choice, I would eat the boba french toast, shaved ice cream, and matcha everything for breakfast, lunch, and dinner each and every day. Please do not miss out on this fantastic experience. Come hungry!

Totally not worth the price. Even the presentation was terrible 😭 I had such high hopes for this place but it definitely did was not even close to meeting my expectations. It was $15 total for this…

Review №19

Large collection of delicious Asian and Asian inspired desserts at decent prices with a nice vibe and ample seating.The burnt cheesecake (basque) was amazing and is their best seller. They also have matcha and chocolate versions of it. The Mochi ice cream is also quite good.They also have a lot of shaved ice deserts as well as cream puffs, waffles, churros, asian inspired teas, lattes, coffee etc.

Review №22

This place is very popular. I liked the ice cream tower. It had a rich mango sauce. It was crowded and noisy, but everyone was having fun, so it was a good crowded. We also ordered the matcha cream puff. When I think of a cream puff, I think of a light, airy dessert with a rich creamy filing. The matcha cream puff is exactly the opposite. It is not light or airy and the matcha filling is anything, but rich and creamy.

Review №23

The original basque burnt cheesecake is creamy delicious and worth the price! However, only 4 stars, because their interior could be cleaner and is not has aesthetically pleasing as their desserts.

Lines moves quickly, you have to order first then go inside to sit there is a variety of choices we got the matcha beignets and waffle with oreo and match the beignets were delicious. I would go back to try more dessert and the tea.

Fantastic ambiance, delicious shaved ice with great people! The mango flavor is resplendent with dashes of syrup, and the Elixir is also a great choice. I would be back everyday if I didnt live 850 miles away.

Shaved ice is delicious and refreshing and the burt basque cheese cake was perfectly caramelized and creamy. Bingets were fresh as well. Will definitely be back!

Review №31

We got their cheese cake since ppl recommend. The texture was ok but it was toooooo sweet. The sweetness from the sugar almost took over the taste of cheese. Not that cheap but reasonable.

Review №32

Korean cafe in korea town nyc. The bingsu (shaved ice) dessert is exceptional. The O.G. bingsu is worth tasting or you can choose your own combination. Quick, friendly service.

Great spot for dessert! My only complaint is the portion sizes are smaller than shave ice desserts in Seoul haha.

Review №34

The O.G. was not that great and matcha cheesecake was awesome. The O.G. has sesame flavored ice cream with strawberries, Marshmellows, and some beans like black beans on the side.

Review №35

Have you ever wondered what eating magic sand, or Play-Doh, is like? The shaved ice is prominently advertised as folded sheets, like some sort of delicious laundry or an endoplasmic reticulum. But the mouthfeel is like ice gravel in a gummy matrix. Im almost positive that there is a massive amount of xanthan or carrageenan gum in here to help it hold its shape. I think that is counter to the spirit of shaved ice, which is supposed to quickly melt, thus justifying the large helping you get. Its a weird experience. I prefer to just get regular shaved ice.

Such a cute cafe with great dessert and drink options! I love the Bavarian cream filled donuts, they have just the right amount of sweetness. For drink options I tried the dalgona coffee and loved the richness of it, just make sure to shake it up before drinking. The outdoor seating area is actually very nice they built a sheltered area which will be great even during winter! Look forward to coming back!

This place is a must if you are ever in Ktown for food. I always make sure we stop by here whenever we have lunch or dinner in Ktown. My guilty pleasure is always the matcha beignets… so fluffy and delicious.

The bobas here are really chewy and good. The lavender milk tea was ok.Their basque cheesecake was good too!

Review №43

Ordered the Matcha Beignet which are usually amazing. This time was different. They were “ready” 1 minute after ordering them. I took one bite and they were pretty stale, not fresh, I went to the lady wearing the green top in the back counter and told her. She was insisting they were fresh with a pretty rude dismissing attitude. If you have such negative energy, please don’t spread it to others…

Review №44

Great place to just stop by for quick drinks and desserts! It’s a good way to stop by if you want to satisfy your sweet tooth. They used to have a pastry called Malasada that sadly they don’t have anymore :(. Highly recommend the matcha beignets and rose petal milk tea.

We visit every time we’re in the city. We love the lavender milk tea (hot or iced with boba), yummy churro waffles, matcha beignets and Korean donuts. Such nice treats for the whole family.

Review №46

Unique and delicious. There was somewhat of a line to get in but it was worth the wait. Friendly people greeted us and gave us our food. We got Matcha Beignets, Basque Burnt Cheesecake, Green Tea Shaved Snow(Elixir), Lavender Milk Tea with Boba and Rose Milk Tea with Boba. Everything was so good. The red beans in the shaved snow was interestingly super tasty along with the lychee. The only thing I could say they could improve on was the Rose Milk Tea because we could not taste any rose flavor. Even so a 10/10 place someone looking for a great dessert place should go.

Review №48

Great late dessert. Couldn’t finish these portions! We were sad to leave them! I had xoxo bingsu - lychee being one of my favorites, I was happy to find lychee jellies alongside my strawberries. Friend loved rose milk tea and their signature burnt cheesecake. I will say, very expensive - 31 bucks for this haul, but again it’s a gourmet treat and these portions of dessert are HUGE.

Review №49

This used to be a nice classy spot with great drinks and dessert-- and the drinks and dessert are still good but the ambience isnt there. I dont know what happened but it feels like a food hall with dirty walls and floors. Its also super loud.

Review №50

I definitely recommend the matcha flavored bingsu over other flavors, 10/10Cream puff was decent. If you wanna pick one I definitely say bingsuIt’s a lot smaller than the ones in California and cost twice as much, not sure if it’s NYC standards

Review №53

I came here on a late night and the area was packed. The line moved very fast and we received our orders in a decent time. Maybe 10 mins?We ordered the xoxo which is a strawberry shaved ice and the cookie monster which is a chocolate shaved ice. We also got the lavender and rose petal milk tea.Both the shaved ices were delicious and light. Not too sweet. There are bits of mochi toppings and cookie crumbles in it too. I wish there were more toppings in it, but these are not the customizable/build your own type ones.I tried the lavender milk tea and it tasted too floral for my liking. The rose petal tasted a lot better than the lavender.I recommend this place if you are ever in the area. This place is great for groups as well. They have in door dining that can seat 6-8 people per table.

Delicious Korean style shaved iced treats and drinks. Surprisingly not too sweet! I dislike overly sweet dessert, and these were not. Quite large, but we polished them off. The Basque Burnt Cheesecake is also very good.

I ordered their custom shaved snow (sweet milk with mochi and strawberry drizzle). Let me tell you. It was SO GOOD. I ordered it via Grubhub..The shaved snow will not disappoint.. My first time trying this dessert. Well worth the price as well..A must have in my opinion..Thank me later..

The basque cheesecake. Tastes superior to almost all other cheesecakes I’ve had so far in my life. Well balanced and light, creamy inside with a hint of burnt caramel from outside.Their Vietnamese coffee is also pretty good with oat milk.Highly recommended.

Review №66

A popular spot in Korea town, there is usually a line but the wait isnt too bad. They serve basque cheesecake which isnt super common - the best part is the oozy center. The royal milk tea is delicious as well, nice tea flavor with just the right amount of milk, could not fault it - love that it comes in small and large jug sizes.

This is a cool drink and dessert place. The desserts are delicious and aesthetic. I have been here a couple times now and I would definitely recommend this place! The staff are super friendly and welcoming. The desserts are super filling so I would recommend sharing with someone or going when you are starving. I was hungry and I could not finish the matcha ice cream waffle on my own.

Pretty disappointing experience. After reading all the raves we finally made our way to here on a chilly evening. We had to order at the door then were seated and received our order.I had the lavender bubble tea with the matcha beignets. (which were literally plain beignets with some powdered sugar and matcha powder dumped on them..)My friend had the coffee flavored puff thing which she thought was pretty bland.The bubble tea was nice and lavender flavored but way too sweet.

Review №75

Yummmm! We got XOXO shave ice. I believe it was the strawberry flavor. We eat a lot of shave ice and we can say this is one of our favourite! The ice has its own flavor as it could be the yogurt flavor or soaked into the condensed milk. Highly recommended to come here to give it a try! A lot of other places don’t offer the same.I noticed a lot of other ice shaving is practically ‘ice shave’ but this one is in the next level.

Review №76

Great variety of desserts, possibly the best around town. Most other dessert places close at 11 pm but this place closes past midnight, making it a go-to stop for late night hangouts. Nice atmosphere too, young crowd, noise level is appropriate for chatting without raising your voice. Highly recommend. Make sure to eat any ice-cream based desserts quickly though!

Review №79

I went here because I saw a friend post one of their desserts, I did not expect what I saw when I actually got there. They make you order from the front, before you can even go inside and have a seat. As a matter of fact, I think they won’t let you in if you don’t order upfront. The employees were not so friendly. Totally ignored it, since I was more curious as to what they have inside. After ordering a taro milk tea, my friend and I went inside. The cafe itself isn’t done yet. I believe they are under reconstruction. The place has potential to be a hit, hopefully they just staff with better people.

This is hands-down some of the best Asian dessert Ive had in this hemisphere. The shaved ice is flavorful and thick, the doughy desserts are perfectly sweetened, and the Vietnamese iced coffee is to die for. The location right in the center of Koreatown is also incredibly well-situated for a day in Manhattan. I cant recommend Grace Street enough!

Such a cute ambiance of a cafe! Definitely worth the experience! My niece and I ordered Beignets without the Matcha powder (Just not a fan of matcha with beignets) - ABSOLUTELY heavenly!!!! They were so delicious, soft and perfectly warm! We also had the chocolate filled cream puff and rose milk tea which wasnt bad but the beignets blew everything else out of the park! We already planned a trip back! If youre in town definitely stop in for the beignets you will not regret it!

Delicious Asian style dessert cafe. The Milk Tea Boba Toast was very good in taste, and the salty popcorn topping complemented the ice cream and sauce. The toast was good, but some parts were a little hard, and bubbles were sometimes hard to scoop. Overall good though.The lavender tea was excellent, great lavender flavor. Definitely a required order on your first visit.

Ive only had the dalgona coffee and honestly it’s not too bad! they’re quite expensive though i won’t lie. i do not remember how much it cost so the next time I go (probably for a cupsleeve event) i’ll update this review and add the prices! i do recommend this place though!

We need more places like this. Desserts are amazing and all the bubble tea are delicious. I don’t usually drink hot bubble tea but I like it here warm. The rose petal is my favorite, lavender milk tea also good.I would get the Boba tea Toast every time. They have the best bubble tea flavor you can get anywhere.

This has been my go-to in Ktown for dessert and tea for several years now.

Love this place for its good vibes and delicious drinks. It’s typically pretty busy but never a long wait and I always find seats. I go to get some work done or just to relax on break time. I really recommend the rose petal milk tea. It tastes so good and looks pretty too;) The Nutella mochi waffle is a favorite of mine too. Sweet drinks + aesthetic interior and desserts = overall great cafe.

I never came here before 6 but I didnt know there was no table service until after 6. We had to find our own table but man, was it crowded! We were about to leave when a couple got up to leave. Too bad they just left their dirty dishes on the table and no one cleaned it up so our party of four had to clean up ourselves. We went up to order and had to wait until the buzzer vibrated to go pick up our order. We ordered a mango shaved snow, Vietnamese iced coffee, lavender latte and 2 rose petal lattes. My friend said the lavender latte just looked lavender but there was no lavender flavor. The Vietnamese iced coffee was tasty and the rose petal latte was good too. The shaved snow was more like sorbet. Really yummy. However its a bit pricey for the amount you get. Be prepared for a lot of noise. Dont expect to be able to study or talk to your date!

We stopped on a Saturday. The place was crowded and noisy. It was an effort to find a table. We had iced latte and caramel iced latte. Both were very good. Our friends had cappuccino and dessert. They liked the green tea ice cream.
