The food was amazing. I have never had anything like it. It took a bit of time for the food to come but the wait was worth it.Kid-friendliness: I brought my 4yo and everyone was so kind to him.

Absolutely love this place. It has amazing desserts and I’d highly recommend. They are open late and have dine in or out options.

The macarons here are absolutely beautiful and a work of art. They are colourful with nice garnishes matching the flavour theme of each one. They are visually flawless.The macarons do look better than they taste though as I find the ratio of filling to macaron wafer is off with too much buttercream like filling such that most of what you taste is only the oilier, buttery side of things. I’ve had macarons with different fillings likes pastes and jams which are less overpoweringly rich.

Been ages since we’ve had bingsoo at Passion8. They were packed on a Monday evening. Besides Korean shaved ice, they also offer cake slices and macarons.Shared a honey berry bingsoo ($14.95 single) and chocolate cookie dough cake ($7.25 slice). They still layer the shaved ice, texture is smooth. Cake wasn’t too sweet. 3.5 stars.

We gave it a 5 star rating mainly for the warm and intelligent service. A loud shout out to Arlene for being so patient with us.You can’t see the inside of the cafe from the outside. Go past the front door and you’ll be greeted by a rustic decor.Coffee is decent, and the main highlight is the snow mountain (shaved ice) items. We tried the multigrain version - perfect if you’re looking for something not too sweet. The strawberry is loaded with ice cream and cake to boot. The milk flavor in the shaved ice is more intense than the other Korean shaved ice places, which was what won us over.The parking lot is not big enough for all the businesses there. We went to lunch at a restaurant a few doors away and the lot was full. This was on a Saturday. When lunch was over and we made our way to Passion8, the lot was only half full.

The barista/server is condescending and unpassionate when we arrived at 7:15pm on Feb 27th 2024.

Shaved ice is one of our favourite desserts so we are constantly trying new places to find our go-to. I liked how this place had 2 size options. The flavours of shaved ice were somewhat limited. Our favourite is always strawberry so we ordered the strawberry blossom. Overall I liked the texture of the ice and there was a good amount of strawberries and they didn’t overdo it on the syrup. The ice cream on top tasted a little artificial but the shaved ice is what I care the most about. The toppings also included 2 slices of cheesecake which I found quite good and enjoyed. The only thing I wish that this place had was some extra topping in the middle of the shaved ice pile (like extra strawberries, cereal flakes, etc something), as I’ve gone to similar places at a different price point that gave us that. To me, the amount and variety of toppings is just as important as the ice texture. Overall I liked this place and would maybe come back, but I’d still keep trying around other places. I’d give 4.5 if I could.

Love the shaved ice and drink options, but I found that the atmosphere was kind of lacking. On top of that, our table was incredibly sticky and in the grooves of the table you could see past remnants of shaved, ice and coffee. I checked other tables too and it seems to be like that from most of them. I really wish that they would switch to tables that are non- porous and easy to clean. Beside slide service was good and the deserts look cute.Vegetarian options: It's basically just all dessert so there isn't really a fear that there will be meat but it's not a place for vegans.Kid-friendliness: Great place to bring kids and lots of seating
The cake is delicious and the macaroons are delicious too!But I think the real one is shaved ice??It's a shaved ice restaurant, so I think it's the best place to go after a meal and have dessert.Especially the shaved ice with cheesecake was all delicious..

We had tiramisu that was at least a week old and the mango shaved ice that was tasteless! We don’t recommend this place!

If condensed milk is added as a side, it would be better than Sulbing.Parking: Convenient with plenty of free parking right in front of the store
