A Korean-style cafe chain with a strong local following among the Korean-American community in North San Jose, offering excellent bingsu, waffles, and espresso drinks in a sleek modern setting. The shaved ice desserts are a must-try in warmer months and the space is large and comfortable. It bridges cafe culture with dessert destination seamlessly. Can get very crowded on weekend afternoons with families and students.
