Unclear what time they stop serving desserts. First time they told us they stopped serving bingsu at 830, so the next time we came in at 8 but was told their machine was off for the night. Only rating 3 stars due to the miscommunication, we enjoy the desserts when we can actually order them!

Came in for dessert after eating dinner elsewhere. The place is a little cramped but also had a cozy vibe. The staff is very friendly.Knew I had to try their bingsu. So glad it's offered even in the winter. We ordered the injeolmi bingsu. It took a few mins to create but it's well worth it and the presentation is beautiful. Definitely big enough to serve 2 people.All the ingredients tasted fresh. It's full of flavor and texture. I love that they use milk ice and also had a small cup of condensed milk to pour over top of the bingsu. They do not skimp out of any of the toppings. So many nuts, red bean, rice cake, and injeolmi powder.Definitely will be back to try the other flavors.

Super yummy spot for dessert! I've tried the injeolmi waffle and matcha bingsu here. Both were so delicious and filling. This will definitely be one of my go to dessert spots in the area. The matcha bingsu was delicious and the presentation was so cute with the fish ice cream. It also had mochi and nuts throughout. At first, I was a bit skeptical of the nuts but it added a nice texture contrast and I really liked it inside the bingsu. I shared it with 2 other people and it was definitely a good portion size for us. Loved the matcha bingsu and am excited to come back to try the other flavors!! The medium sized injeolmi waffle came with 2 waffles and 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream on the side. It also came with some strawberry slices. Overall, it was very good but I would personally get the bingsu over the waffle as long as weather permits lol!

Yet another cafe in palpark to get yummy bingsoo! I originally ordered the taro bingsoo, but they ran out so I went for Injeolmi Bingsoo. The portion size was huge but there were a lot more nuts than we expected so we didn't taste the injeolmi as much. But the snowy ice was creamy and even when it melted, it tasted pretty good! The servers here are very friendly and make your order very fast. I saw lots of people coming in for their savory foods, but they were out for the day so I hope I can also try them next time I come!

My absolute favorite cafe in NJ! Been going to cafe oak for about 6 years now and love to see how much it’s grown and can’t see myself going to any other cafe. You can get lots of work done here cause the atmosphere is really good to focus. Also the staff is really nice many people have worked here but never met a mean worker. and the owner is lovely. I bring lots of family here that need help with homework or studies. theres plenty of room and good food options. The kimbap is so good, usually sells out by the afternoon. The cold brew or americano is good and strong, and the bingsu and tteokbokki are also delicious.

Another great cafe in Pal Park. Their sea salt coffee is a must-try, and I like mine with caramel! We also ordered their matcha bingsoo which was generous, and the ice was fluffy!

The wasabi kimbap here is the most delicious. I've tried other things, but there's nothing like wasabi kimbap. I take it with me every time I go out and it's so delicious.

I don’t live in the area, but make the several mile trip up for coffee occasionally. Their coffee has a nice deep smokey flavor, and we never miss the opportunity to get a sea salt coffee.Also, it’s hard to resist either picking up kimbap or baked item that’s out on display. Staff has been friendly each time we’ve visited. Wish I had one in my neighborhood.
Great choice for Sea Salt Mocha in local. Usually take it to-go as the space is not comfortable for sitting.

Cute place for a quick lunch or afternoon coffee . The binsu or shaved ice was beautiful and delicious here. Pastries were very well made. The back was cozy, and the front was spacious enough. Although the place looked messy here and there, it has a warm family touch to it.Kid-friendliness: Fun place for kids with ice and cold drinksParking: There are street parking spaces available, but not too many

Food is good, but the cafe smells of trash. It didn't used to, so it likely needs a deep cleaning.
