Sweet Moment

Too sweet. But it's worth it. The atmosphere is clean and pleasant. They have delicious desserts. Today was my first time going and I tried an oreo flavored shaved ice cream. I couldn't finish it so I'm happy I received a large amount for an acceptable price ❤️ I will recommend it and go with friends for the next one. The staff is friendly ✨🙌

The Mango Bingsoo was delicious. The dessert is definitely on the sweeter side but if you’ve got a sweet tooth this is the place to be. The shaved ice comes off really easily so it’s a little hard to not make a mess but just be gentle with your spoon. There are little cheesecake bites at the bottom of the dish that pair amazingly with the ice cream up top. They also serve it with a little side of condensed milk.

Good place to hang out and chill with friends. All flavors of Bingsoo shape ice are really good but recommend Matcha cheesecake and Melon, both is the best. Ps. Don’t come here after school time it’s very busy, noisy and hard to find the seats.

this is my FAV cafe ever i always end my chinatown/soho excursions here and this is my go to for when im craving something sweet or if i want to take someone somewhere cute:) i love the interior, its super cozy and cute for taking photos. Ive come here COUNTLESS TIMESSS throughout the last couple years and they’re consistently good! workers r also friendly, just an overall nice environment. Also there is a bathroom :D my favorites are their matcha cheesecake bingsu, their choco oreo bingsu, and their red velvet latte (on the sweeter side)!!! 🩷 their latte art is so so cute too

It's a cute place where the food is very tasty and the drinks are fun, but they are not particularly the tastiest. The attraction of the place is the drawings they make in the drinks, if you are looking for a traditional matcha or a specialty coffee it is not the place... however everything is delicious and they do a great job!

This is my go to bingsoo place in Chinatown, it's usually refreshing, and yummy. Not too overwhelming but I guarantee it is not underwhelming. They tend to do little setups at the front for local businesses for any kpop event or kpop idols birthdays. This time we went ~2pm on a Sunday. There was a Namjoon event and it was super cute, got a little purple bracelet for a friend's birthday. Service: 8/10, they were very attentive and let us know in advance that the food we ordered will be a little slow because their kitchen is backed up. Food: - Chicken Sandwich : 8/10 - my friend got this and I only tried a bite or two. It was unexpected spicy (???) but it was still pretty good. The sandwich ends up falling apart, because it is a lot but it's very filling and i genuinely wish they opened a semicolon near me because I'd get it daily. - Bulgogi Sandwich : 9/10 - absolutely love this. I always get this because it's so good. The egg and the Bulgogi perfectly compliments each other. the sauce is also really good, but like expected, it will fall apart in your hands. Drinks: - watermelon ice ade - 6/10 - I didn't really like it because it didn't taste like much but it also tasted like something I didn't like. the flavor wasn't really watermelon based. - blue lemon ice ade : 8/10 - I like this, it's very good, refreshing, and the lemon taste wasn't overwhelming. I got this twice and would get again. Bingsoo: - Naughty Caramel: 8.5/10 - I usually hop between the matcha, melon, etc other ones but this is my first time trying the naughty caramel one but it might've jumped up my list. I like the flavor, it's not too sweet even tho I expected it to be very sweet being caramel. Didn't expect there to be a chunk of ice in the bingsoo tho, maybe it just wasnt shaved properly. Service: pretty quick, but a lot of people left a mess on the table after they leave, tables fill up pretty fast. you have to grab the first available one you see. napkins and utensils are out so you can grab it yourself. I wiped down the table because someone left stains and a napkin on the table.

Simple and trendy. Good for the young crowds. The place is tiny but with ample seating space. There are pictures of KPop boy bands along the pillars. Ordered a matcha and cheesecake shaved ice. It's so big. It's good for 3-4 people to share. The staff behind the counter work really fast. They're very efficient and they communicate with you about the order. Deff would go here again.

All I am going to say is delicious , I recommend , I went today with my friends and we agreed this spot is good. I like the menu. I ended up getting a strawberry matcha and some macaroons. I will be going back to try out more.

Super cute and tasty desserts! Got the small (cup size) matcha cheesecake shaved ice and the creamart matcha drink with milk tea base. Shaved ice was refreshing on a hot day and I loved the cheesecake bits on top! Drink was super cute but took a while to come out. Keep in mind that the creamart drinks only come cold. There's a good amount of seating, but it gets packed depending on the time. We went after dinner, so it was pretty crowded. Would definitely stop by if I'm craving a sweet treat in the area. Eyeing the melon shaved ice for the next time I'm back.

We were craving for a dessert cafe and happened to choose Sweet Moment Cafe in Chinatown. We got the red velvet milk tea and it was so cute with the bear latte on top! It was cold and refreshing for a hot day outside. Tasted very creamy for a milk tea. We also got the strawberry bingsoo and we were blown away on how good it was. There were corn flakes and mochi in the cup as well! Definitely a great find in the area. Service was great where the employees took our order and the food came out at a reasonable time. Lots of seating area and there was a K-Pop event happening in the store too. Just wish that they went around and cleaned the tables after customers finished eating because not a single table was clean. Looking forward to trying their other items on the menu. Food: 5/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 5/5

Sweet Moment is one of those places that I always forget about until I'm walking in the area and my friends and I want something sweet - I've been here a few times before, and it's always quite nice for a quick treat. This time, my friend and I ordered the small matcha strawberry shaved ice. (like bingsoo, if that's splitting hairs). It was very yummy. The milky ice was not too sweet, the matcha flavour from the ice cream and the sauce (?) went nicely with the ice and the bites of strawberries. I quite liked the cornflakes, too; they added a nice flavour and texture contrast while eating. Portion size is good; I think it can be hard to finish the large size option with just one other person (especially if you've just eaten). And it was only $8-ish! Nowadays I think that is a quite a good price for any Asian dessert (even bubble tea drinks can be that pricey, and this dessert was for 2 people, no less.) The downside is that it can often be quite crowded (especially in peak, i.e. post-meal dessert) times, and finding seating (especially for any group of ... 3? or more people) might be challenging. Also, the queue for the washroom! So long! Every time! :( All in all, though, I think the desserts l've had here have always been quite lovely and I will try to remember to come by more often!

Saturday afternoon on another humid summer day summons ice tea for a cool down. It was certainly not a sweet moment as the atmospheric conditions were boisterously loud from patrons' chatter and overhead background music which the meh quality sweets and drinks did not satisfy the deficiencies for a good experience. Ergo, three stars. Whatever my friend and I were having a dialogue it was nearly inaudible as my friend appeared in utter disbelief. We quickly finished our drinks and sweets making a fast exit. Tables are occupied very quickly due to patrons' table long hibernation and the staff's sloth performance when clearing and cleaning tables for the next patrons as table turnover rate. Service is average. I do appreciate the concept of a quaint cafe for a New York moment. With a friend to venture my Yelp bookmarks our order consists of: Sparkling water (unknown brand name), $3.25 The water was meh as the carbon was average. Strawberry ade (replicate of strawberry lemonade), $5.75 There were absolutely no lemonade taste, but it was a served cold. I was actually drinking water with a lot of ice and several fresh strawberry fruit as toppings. Tiramisu, $5.05 This Italian dessert was average. French macarons vanilla, dark chocolate, rose, wedding almond, $3.00 each All flavors (except the dark chocolate) tasted very cheesy, but chewy far and remote from their actual flavors. Sweet Moment made a mediocre attempt with their bakery sweets.

Super nice service here, everyone here was super nice. I got the tiramisu latte and the bulgogi sandwich for a quick chill spot before my dental appointment. The tiramisu latte was amazing, I got it with oat milk and it tastes like a tiramisu in a drink form, not overly sweet but just right. It has a mascarpone cream topping and some cocoa powder on top which sealed the drink perfectly. The bulgogi sandwich was amazing it came with lettuce, tomato, egg with corn, and the beef with bulgogi, it's not thinly sliced bulgogi meat but it is chunks of steak marinated in bulgogi sauce, seasoned perfectly with a hint of sweetness. They definitely did not skimp on the meat, definitely protein in every bite! Can't wait to get it again! It does get very crowded in there I was lucky to find a seat but they do have a big seating area just that it's very popular.

Cute Korean cafe with shaved ice, savory egg sandwiches, and drinks! The service was super efficient. Get the matcha cheesecake milk shaved ice!!! This was absolutely delicious!!! Came with a matcha ice cream on top. The milk shaved ice was soo light and fluffy, the matcha syrup was at the perfect sweetness level!! You can choose small or large, but we chose the small size. The little topping inclusions were amazing and provided a beautiful mix of textures - cheesecake, rice cake, cornflakes, white chocolate, red bean, mini sweet egg roll.

Stopped by for dessert after dinner in Chinatown. It's a cute space with a decent amount of seating and good vibes! We ordered a small matcha black sesame bingsoo, which was a good size for two people to share (but one person easily could've eaten this). I felt like the flavors were not well distributed so at times it just felt like I was eating straight ice. The ice was also not as fine as other places I've tried. The black sesame layer was really thin and I felt like there could've been more matcha and black sesame.The vibes are nice but the bingsoo was pretty mediocre.

Was here after lunch and got coffee & desserts. Lady at the register was friendly and helpful - I came up a few times asking for extra plates/additional orders and she was patient and looked happy to help. The drinks were all good and we enjoyed the nutella waffle we ordered. We also got macaroons which were alright but everything else we enjoyed. I will say price point value was good too. The place itself is cute. Generally a younger crowd (there were pictures of KPOP bands and not sure if there was an event going on recently) but looked like a cute place to come by to have coffee/snacks if you're in the area.

Sweet Moment is located in Chinatown serving bingsoo and cute latte art coffee. They have great flavors to choose from for bingsoo, including black sesame red bean, matcha and cheesecake, and melon. My friends and I ended up here before dinner because we were waiting for a nearby restaurant. My friend talked about how great their large plate bingsoos were, but unfortunately they ran out of bigger blocks for their bingsoo. We ended up ordering two cup bingsoos instead, and another friend also got the tiramisu latte. For the bingsoo, we got the matcha strawberry and the black sesame red bean flavors. The shaved ice is milk flavored so you can taste the subtle milkiness. The sauce coated the shaved ice and eating it from the cup was a bit messy as we were trying to share. I personally enjoyed the black sesame over the matcha since the black sesame flavor was more prominent.

Came here as a group of 5 post dinner on the same block and there was ample seating! We were lucky enough to grab their big table bench at the front. The cashier was really helpful in walking us through their latte options. They also sold some stationary from small businesses, which it's always nice to see the support. I opted for a trusty Hot Matcha Latte, which had the perfect ratio of matcha powder and milk! Some other ladies in my party got their Pistachio Latte, which received no complaints. I've had their shaved ice dessert in the past and it was fine, but it's been a while. This spot seems like a great place to work from as well, as other patrons had a laptop. Overall, would come back to try their other beverages and offerings again!

If there's one place that will satisfy my sugar cravings and also makes me fall in love with their creations, this would be the place. Food is amazing. Shaved ice with different toppings and presented so beautifully! They also have varieties of lattes and waffles as well. Each time I visit this place, there's always a lot of customers regardless if the weather is summer or winter. The only thing that i suggest is if they could improve on the way how customers are notified once their orders are ready, probably it's best to have that device that vibrates to alert you of your food that is ready instead of the staff screaming your name.

TLDR: Cute spot with good bingsoo! Crowded. Bathroom in rough shape. DESSERT: I shared the small mango cheesecake bingsoo with my boo. We recently came back from Hawaii where we were having mango bingsoo pretty regularly. We were pretty happy with this bingsoo in terms of its texture and lightme, but you really can't beat the mangoes in Hawaii. I did enjoy the cheesecake bites, corn flakes, mochi, and ice cream on top of it. Gave it some variety in texture. Presentation also quite nice! A small is $9 I believe, which felt reasonable to me. SERVICE: Bingsoo came out reasonably fast. I didn't love that the employee was loudly yelling people's names, but when your product melts I guess you gotta do what you gotta do. AMBIANCE: The place itself is quite cute. It was also super crowded and it seemed like the place was hosting some kind of event where folks were selling stickers and other things. It felt cramped because of the event (I was nervous we wouldn't be able to find a place to sit, but luckily we did), but otherwise I enjoyed the ambiance. BATHROOM: I normally don't note the bathrooms of places I review, but this one really needed some love. OVERALL: Would go back for bingsoo again.

Super underrated bingsoo place. Great bingsoo and look at how much melon you get! Great price too especially compared to all the trendy bingsoo places going around these days. They also sometimes host kpop cup sleeve and celebration events which is very fun. Also laptop friendly and a nice place to work. Service and ambiance is nice.

Rating : 7.3/10 Come earlier because they may run out of warm desserts later in the evening. Otherwise if you're looking for their variety of bingsoo this is a great place. It leans on the young side but serves small and large shaved ice topped with matcha, black sesame and strawberry amongst other flavors . The flavors were pretty solid all around and it s a great option especially in the summer for a casual dessert after dinner. Lots of seating inside and there's a bathroom too Final Category: GOOD (Terrible / bad / ok / GOOD / great/ excellent)

BINGSOO IS A SCAM The large melon bingsoo was $20, but I guess all of it went into the labor cost in making the bingsoo look "pretty". There were large chunks of ice in my bingsoo and it was difficult to eat. This leads me to believe it was "pre-shavened" and half melted when they shoved it into the freezer and took it out again whenever a person ordered it. The bingsoo wasn't creamy and lacked a melon flavor, as if I just eating giant chunks of ice. As I got deeper into the bingsoo, it felt like I was opening a mystery chest, since I was blindsided by what was in it. Nowhere was it advertised that there would be mochi pieces and Frosted Flakes at the bottom of the bingsoo. It was super random and felt like they just stuffed random toppings at the bottom of the bingsoo for no reason. Also since, the majority of the bingsoo was frozen ice pieces and not milk, it melted faster. After ten minutes, it was like I was eating milk and cereal (2nd pic). A bingsoo from anywhere else is better than here. 0/10 do not recommend.

ONCE AGAIN they stop taking orders at 7:40 despite their 8pm close time. Update your hours!!!!!!!

Tastes as amazing as it looks. I've had a lot of bingsoo before (both in New York and in Korea) and this is super solid. I had the matcha black sesame cup bingsoo and it was delicious - not too sweet, and pleasantly surprised by the corn flakes. I was worried about not being able to finish it, but that was definitely not an issue. I also sampled my friend's matcha latte with oat milk and I would recommend that as well

This place is excellent!! They have delectable desserts. The service was fast. The ambiance was cozy.

We came here because I saw pictures of the bingsoo online and the bingsoo was very good but pricey. A large was about $20 and there were two employees when we came in on Tuesday afternoon The guy seemed annoyed to make the order, telling the female cashier "well they can wait for a bit" and we felt a bit awkward and almost rescinded the order but maybe he was just feeling rushed because there were a couple lattes ahead of us? They have a picture menu at the register and a few interesting lattes like the matcha bomb which was a shot of espresso over a matcha latte. My husband ended up getting that and liked it a lot, and neither flavor was overpowering the other but has a nice balance The bingsoo was great and about 1.5x the size of the latte cup. It was expensive but prob could have shared with a 3rd person and still been happy with the amount. The ice was super packed in so it was difficult to break apart without making a mess but the flavors were really interesting together and the condensed milk sauce was perfect on top. They have a ton of seats inside and a single bathroom which did get quite a line while we were there

This dessert place is small and had kind of sketchy tables and offered only plastic spoons, which irked me. The creations they sell include flavored snow with a variety of toppings and waffles. I was also a bit irked that some of the snow flavors apparently were only offered in a larger size than I myself needed. The smaller matcha strawberry, however, had a lot of complex flavor bits in it and was an interesting and worthwhile dessert. I didn't have room for a waffle, but they looked indulgent.

Cute little cafe. I ordered Earl Grey and red velvet lattes and strawberry shaved ice. I was disappointed that the lattes didn't come with cute pictures. I thought it was standard. The lattes were tasty though.

Sweet Moment has been one of my favorite desserts spot in Chinatown. I ordered their red velvet Creamart Milktea and Nutella banana waffle. The interior is very cute. The service was good, food didn't take long to arrive. Look how cute are their desserts.

Quality and taste 5/5 Black sesame -- the sweetness level was on point-- not overly sweet. The corn flakes was such a nice touch in the center with the black sesame Mango cheesecake Again, not as sweet as I thought, but the real impressive part? It's fresh pieces of cheesecake Service 5/5 Quirky staff Cheeky humor never hurt anyone Price point 4/5 They have a small and large and Grace Street only has a large It's not that SM is cheaper but it simply has more sizes to choose from and hence you "save 50%" Ambiance 4.5/5 Except for the dusty cages that canNOT be used for storage under the big table in front of the cashier, the early 00s music is soothing and so is the green decor of plants albeit plastic Cleanliness 4.5/5 Again, except for the dusty cages that can NOT be used for storage under the big table in front of the cashier, the bathroom is big too

This place been on my dessert spot to visit for months. Finally got the time to and honestly wasn't disappointed. It's a great cute spot filled with many sweet treat options to coffee. I came here looking to try the dessert and went with the naughty caramel. It was delicious super filling not too sweet and overall a great blend of flavors. Also decided to try the matcha strawberry waffle, that was the best for me. It was delicious ! The matcha was great and the waffle was done well ! Overall the flavors for both were delicious and look amazing. The prices was around $10 for each item so it can be on the medium to high end but hey a sweet treat ever now and then never hurt anybody!

Review is for the bingsoo only. Pretty bottom tier, like another review I read it's definitely missing something. I believe it's missing condensed milk, the snow lacks flavor and the fruit was not sweet. There's a difference between being Asian sweet and having no sweetness. They should change their name to bland moments lol. Our original order was the watermelon but it's unfortunately out of season (not their fault). The mochi inside is also pretty firm and off putting. It's like tiny firm boba. We might have come on an off day, but it was off enough to remove it from my bookmarks. I would not recommend coming here. It's odd they didn't provide a plate, so we ate it over a napkin since bingsoo can be a bit messy when it's towering over the cup. Portion size is good, even the small for two people was a nice snack size. But that's probably because I wouldn't want more and it took effort to finish what we had. Easy pass

They make a fantastic affogato! The cornflakes and chocolate shavings take this dessert to the next level. The espresso was well-made, too. I would order this again. Minus one star because there was a lil cockroach on the floor. Looks like this place hosts a lot of Kpop cup sleeve events so I'd definitely come back for one of those!! There's also lots of seating and would be great to bring a group or friends visiting to this place.

First time trying sweet moment after many years of it being on my list. It was a rainy day when me and my friend met up to try some bingsoo!! The whole lay out of this beautiful masterpiece was SO COOL! I never seen it stacked before like that so it was pretty outstanding. I loved the touch of Mochi, corn flakes and scoop of ice cream. My friend never tried bingsoo so, she appreciated the shaved ice and matcha specifically of course. The bingsoo isn't as fluffy as I would like it however, this was an exception when I was like, okah this is darn good. We also ordered a hot pistachio latte which was a good choice to drink while eating this sweet treat. Definitely coming back to try their lattes!!!

The bingsoos here come in pretty big portions, especially if you order the plate size. We opted for a midday snack by ordering a cup size (small) watermelon bingsoo. A small is good for two people to share, any party size bigger than this should probably opt for the large. This spot gets pretty busy quickly but the line goes fast. It's a nice option for a sit-down dessert spot considering there are not too many of these types of dessert spots in Chinatown with this much seating. As for the Watermelon bingsoo itself, we wish we got the melon or strawberry bingsoo since the watermelon itself was not as good of a complement to the flavors of the rest of the bingsoo due to the wateriness of the watermelon. The ice was a different texture than I was used to since it was the texture of snow. Also, because the watermelon was piled high on top of the high tower of ice, it felt like I was just eating snow after finishing the watermelon. Something about this bingsoo was missing something, whether it be just more toppings or having the watermelon be chilled a little more, or having the watermelon or syrup be more incorporated into the dessert cup. However, overall this was a good experience.

I came back to try their bulgogi toast and it was great! There's a lot of ingredients packed into between two slices of toast so it was a bit messy to eat. Luckily they had a bunch of utensils right next to the pick up area. Also tried their yuzuade drink and it was refreshing on a hot summer day. Just wish they gave less ice. This is a nice spot to just take a sitting break before getting on with the rest of your day.

In place of what used to be a Cafe Bene is now a bear-y instagram friendly spot with desserts to satisfy your sweet tooth cravings while fueling your instagram feed. It's a perfect spot for your mini catch up or continuation of a good date ;) Friends and I stopped in on no other than Valentine's day after dinner and settled on the sweet potato bingsoo which is by far one of the best cream shaved ice I'd had. It's not too sweet and isn't saturated with condensed milk like most shaved iced you'd find and the crispy sweet potato chip on top is the best topping to complement the entire dish. One order was enough for 4 girls to share but if you really have a sweet tooth, two is more than enough. The price range for this place is a bit on the pricier side for the location but worth it for what you get. There's enough seating to seat a small crowd but I would anticipate a wait time around peak hours as there's also incentive for patrons to stay longer with free wifi.

Came here on a Monday afternoon to get some work done. Note they don't have wifi on the weekend and even so, they say computers limited to 45 min (but they were lenient). I took the baristas recommendation and he gave me this kind of root beer + coffee + ice cream + double espresso shot thing. It was a lot yes! Very caffeinated and sugary but pretty good overall. I did see everyone else ordering these gorgeous cakes which I could come back to try for sure as that seems like their signature. Solid spot to work but probably more conducive for conversation.

Sweet Moment is an adorable spot to grab a dessert with friends! I remember coming here on my very first trip to NYC back in 2018 and even years later, it was just as cute as I remembered. What we got: - Mango Cheesecake Bingsu - Matcha Kremee Final Thoughts: Cute drinks and desserts. The Kremee comes cold and is essentially milk tea topped with a cute design. The bingsu was also okay but I've had better elsewhere. You're really coming for the vibes.

Always need to end any meal with something sweet. Sweet Moment was just what we needed - sweet but not too sweet dessert. We got the large matcha black sesame bingsoo and it hit the spot. It took a while for it to be ready but I blame the short staff - not their fault. The fluffy milk snow paired well with the matcha cream and black sesame cream. The bingsoo was topped with red bean and matcha ice cream, with additional red bean and condensed milk on the side. The condensed milk was watered down but still got the job done - we ended up asking for more later. There are crunchies and small mochi pieces in the middle, which added a good component to the overall experience. Typical NYC bingsoo prices ($17-18 for large + tax).

Ordered the mango shaved ice which was a huge mountain of fluffy shaved ice and cream layered with chunks of mango topped with ice cream and drizzled with mango syrup. A good place to have dessert in Chinatown. Very affordable and each plate is shareable between several people.

I love that they have single-serve bingsoo options!! It's a great value ($8-9) and includes a ice cream on top, a variety of mixtures in the middle such as cornflakes, red bean, mochi, etc., and a cookie topper. I even split with a friend and it was enough for the both of us. The space is also great to catch up with friends! Highly recommend stopping.

Sweet Moment specializes in desserts that take 30 minutes, so I opted to explore their other dessert options. I had 1/4 of each dessert and it was on the sweeter side. The spacious space and community tables stood out as many spots lack this feature. Overall, it is an ideal place to bring friends to hang out.

a lot of flavors to choose from so I'll give it a decent rating. but imo quality wasn't that good..... the ice wasn't fine enough and I don't think they used condensed milk. the syrup/flavor to ice ratio doesn't work well for the small sizes. im starting to think nyc is also bad at bingsoo

It is a very cute shop that specializes in dessert I'd say. The desserts are very cute, Instagram worthy. We ordered a small melon bingsoo as they did not have the large one. In addition to that, we also ordered a large matcha strawberry bingsoo and a matcha strawberry waffle. Out of these, I'd say my favorite would be the melon bingsoo; the melon was so sweet and refreshing. The large matcha strawberry was pretty, but a little difficult to eat. The shaved ice felt like soft snow in my mouth, which is amazing on a hot day like today. As for the waffle, some parts were a little dry, so I recommend getting a bit of cream and ice cream on each piece of waffle you're eating. The strawberries for both the waffle and bingsoo were pretty sour, but maybe the strawberries are not in season yet? I'm not too sure. I would come back for the melon bingsoo though! Hopefully they will have the large one next time!

My friend sent me this place from tiktok so of course we had to check it out. We opted for the small Matcha Strawberry Bingsoo ($9.50) and it definitely hit the spot. The space at Sweet Moments is quite large so it is very fitted for a casual friend hangout, but the service was quite slow. My friend and I waited for some time until we received our bingsoo. Although this is a nice spot in chinatown to get your bingsoo fix, I still think "Grace Street" is my favorite Bingsoo place in the city.

Loved visiting this cafe! I stopped by to get some work done and had to enjoy a beverage while I was here. As a lover of Taro, I had to order the taro latte. It was mildly sweet but exactly what I expected it to taste like, I enjoyed every single sip! Also loved the vibe, they had great music playing the entire time. There's also a ton of seating available. I would def come back for a latte and for a shaved ice or other cool item on their menu.

After many attempts to try this place, we were able to!! Service was on the slow side and cashier wasn't too enthusiastic about us ordering with her ‍. The place was full of patrons and noise level was a bit much but we had an enjoyable time, nonetheless. We ordered the matcha-strawberry bingsu for the kids and they devoured it. The fruit waffle was decent, we asked for Nutella drizzle but they forgot about that. I'd probably won't visit this place again since there's many other options around ‍

It's a quick service. And the amount is a little bit less than what I remembered from long time ago. I recommend mango sago with bird's nest. It's for mango people. Comes with mango purée/juice. Maybe i need to order something locals order next time.

Very cute coffee/dessert shop! There are tables inside and one bathroom in the back. Most of the seating are just stools, limited chairs with backs. I assume it's so people don't stay and linger for so long. My friend and I shared a small strawberry shaved ice ($9). The desserts are on the expensive side. Presentation is great and beautiful but pricey for some shaved ice.... The strawberry has cheesecake chunks (which I love), strawberries, and vanilla ice cream. The ice cream really adds to the entire dessert and helps to make it sweet. But once you finish the ice cream, all you really get is shaved ice which is not that flavorful. I would maybe come back if I was craving a light dessert and would share with a friend. But for $9 in Chinatown, you can definitely get more bang for your buck!

First time here to meet a friend. We came in on a Sat afternoon and there were some stalls selling things right by the entrance. We walked past them and saw the cafe towards the back. The male cashier had an attitude when we asked about the matcha bomb. Then we asked if they got ice tea. He pointed at the box. I got the peach/ginger with an earl grey pudding. Tea $3 was great, very subtle earl grey flavor on pudding $5. Finding a table is TOUGH as it was jam-packed. Didn't get bingsoo due to mixed reviews.

Cute little cafe place, known for their shave ice desserts. They have good amount of seating. Customers are a mixture of seniors siping on milk tea, young people using laptops and groups of friends enjoying desserts. We tried matcha sesame and mango and cheesecake. Both are delicious! They have two sizes for shave ice. Small is around 8 dollars and large is 17. Large is the typical pics you see. Presentation is beautiful. I think for pictures, get the large one. If you want to try different flavors, I think small is a good size.

Honestly, it's one of the best bingsoo spots I've come across. It's pricy -$18 per order, but it's worth every penny. The presentation is just like what they market, and the amount they give is generous. It's truly worth its price tag for sure. I can't rave enough about this bingsoo. It's so aesthetically pleasing to the eye and to the camera. Honestly, it's one of the best bingsoo spots I've come across. It's pricy -$18 per order, but it's worth every penny.

Great hangout, date, and catch-up spot. They are only limiting wifi to weekdays, so not ideal for weekend study spots, but it's probably a way to limit the people staying too long. There's sandwiches offered and coffee, but we didn't order any.

This is my go-to bingsoo spot in NYC. It's located in Chinatown, making it an easy dessert spot after dinner. During the day, it's a nice cafe to get some work done. The big one bingsoos range from $16 to $19 and can easily be split amongst 4 people. I usually opt for the melon or matcha strawberry ones. The melon one is super refreshing, with rounds of honeydew on top. It tastes like melona and is perfect for a hot summer day. The matcha strawberry one is also a favorite of mine. It's perfectly sweet and has tiny bits of mochi in it. There's generally always an open table, which is nice. Overall it's a cute place to grab desert and catch up with friends.

I experienced a sweet moment eating this Matcha & Cheesecake Bingsoo shaved ice at Sweet Moment in Manhattan, NY! They offer a variety of extravagant shaved ices, unique waffles, craft coffees, and more here! After some debating, my friend and I decided to split the large bingsoo for $16. They offer small sizes as well that are cute, but we admittedly wanted to get the large one based on its over-the top presentation. They offer a good amount of seating here, so we were quickly able to find a spot after we ordered. I loved the neon sign when you walk in, the ambiance that is a happy medium between being too quiet and too loud, and the overall modern aesthetic of the shop. Our dessert itself was just as spectacular. It was ready for us to pickup at the counter in all of its glory within a matter of minutes. Aside from its immaculate presentation, the matcha flavor itself was authentic and was swimming in plenty of sauce to soak the shaved ice in. The shaved ice itself was milk/cream-based, whereas other spots in the city I've gone to have been ice-based, so this retained the flavor well without making it watery. I also love how it was topped with a scoop of matcha ice cream, how there were cheesecake bites on top, and how there was red bean paste in between the layers. It was sweet but not too sweet, which is just how I like it! Overall, I was very impressed and satisfied with the friendly service, beautiful presentation, and delicious flavor, and will definitely be back!

Sweet Moment is just as cute as all the instagram pics suggest. There's a nice selection of coffee, cute drinks, waffles, and bingsu to pick from. I appreciated that there was a photo menu at the front counter, so you can see exactly what you're ordering. It was also super easy for a group of 10 to just walk in and find space. Since the seating is pretty casual, it doesn't feel awkward to hang around in a cluster at one of the long share tables. There's also more small tables and seats. The drinks look cute, the bingsu tastes good, no complaints here.
