👍👍 Absolutely love the Bingsu and Croffles here. Keep going back for the Strawberry Bingsu; fresh strawberries, evenly layered condensed milk and tasty cheesecake chunks. Tiramisu Croffle is also equally as amazing. Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. People often mention bingsu, dessert, shaved, good, Bingsu, size, delicious, staff, great, cream,

    Well-lit and covid-friendly sectioned spaces for a cafe to grab dessert or work here during the day. Green tea bingsu - S (4/5): nicely balanced flavours between the red bean and green tea ice cream but limited amount of mochi pieces

    Spring-like day in November with my beautiful wife who was craving Strawberries~ Had Strawberry Bingsu and Strawberry Cup Tiramisu to go! No other words necessary - just amazing! Glad to see The Cups now open at the Finch Station!

    Favourite bingsu place in Toronto! Always a go-to when I want a laid back day with friends, lot’s of seating and a really pleasant atmosphere. Love the oreo and matcha bingsu, as well as the tiramisu cups!

    Not really my type of deserts. Tried their green tea bingsu and the smallest size is more than enough for two people, honestly! Staff is friendly and polite and the place is clean. Please be careful when you are exiting, there are two steps that could be easily missed.

    Best spot for bingsu in gta! My first time having bingsu was at a cups location and after all this time, it still doesn’t disappoint! The shaved ice is so fluffy and combines so well with the toppings. The blueberry one I ordered had a tartness to it and mixed with the cheesecake pieces and the ice, it was a perfect bite. The croffle is so good with ice cream! I am totally going back for their more sweeter flavours as I went with another person who wasn’t into too sweet of items. They also have a churro croffle that really caught my eye! Some other treats they offer include cookies that look really temtpting thats at the cash area! Service was awesome and just be prepared as this location can get super busy really fast! But even with lots of people, they pump out your orders quite quickly. Great job overall! Follow me on IG @thirst_and_taste for better pics, vids, and more amazing content!

    I like the set up of the place, it's really chill. It's quiet earlier in afternoon and gets louder and busier as the day gets late. I got the Tiramisu Cupcake, the Black Sesame Bingsu and the Blueberry Lemon Tea. Honestly everything was delicious but the reason I gave it 4 stars is because I think it is a bit overpriced. 🧁The cupcake was so delicious. The cream was good and wasn't too sweet. I don't like cream so I was surprised that I was able to eat the cupcake without any complaints. I would highly recommend this! ❄️I got the cup size Seasame Bingsu with no red bean. It was good. Expect to make a mess, ahah! I honestly thought $10 was a bit much for the cup size, others might disagree but that's my opinion. 🍵I got the Blueberry Lemon Tea. The tea was amazing! Really refreshing and not too sweet but the right sweetness. I would recommend it. Overall, a good experience. I dont think I will get a cupcake and bingsu at the same time again, it was too much for one person. Anyway, I thought the staff was nice for the 2 seconds that we interacted lol.

    I've been obsessed about this place for years, honestly. Their bingsu is one of the best with lots of flavors and the cake bingsu is one of my all time favorite desserts. It's a bit pricy but the size is huge, so make sure to share with some friends!

    my friend & i came here and got two flavors (strawberry and tiramisu). the toppings for the strawberry were phenomenal so that one is def a must try but the tiramisu was easily the worst tiramisu-flavoured dessert i’ve ever had. it tasted bitter and bland and the slice of tiramisu they put on top tasted freezer burnt. i tried so hard to taste anything from it but it just wasn’t there. also a consistent issue from both favours was that the shaved ice just tasted like ice. i’ve never had bingsu but i thought it traditionally had a condensed milk flavor. i was really excited to try this place but it was very much disappointing. will say that the staff were friendly and the actually café smells incredible, maybe i just tried the wrong things.

    It's a Korean dessert shop and the atmosphere is clean and chic Korean (Korean pop on the speakers help). We ordered a Tiramisu cup bingsu and this will definitely delight coffee lovers. It has a Tiramisu cake topped on vanilla ice cream and ice shavings. Also included is a shot of espresso. It's elaborate an affogado and it's good. I also ordered and einspäner (strong coffee with whipped cream on top). The whipped cream is sweet and thick but is cold so the coffee below will cool off fast. It's still pretty delicious though the coffee can be stronger.

    This Korean dessert cafe was stunning with delicious food, especially bingsu that my friend and I tried, and kind, helpful staff. We all had a great experience visiting this cafe with the perfect service that we received, and the perfect food that we had. This cafe definitely deserve 5 star.

    I enjoy going here with my whole family and sharing the different flavours of bingsu, though black sesame is still my favourite. The portions are generous (you only need a small at most for one person!) and the staff are friendly and will accommodate special requests when they can.

    It is located just outside the finch subway station , so if you're visiting nearby it's a must visit place if you are a fan of dessert. They have so many options from the menu, as this was my first time we tried the famous korean dessert bingsu. It is an ice based dessert and even in that they have a lot of varieties available. We tried the tiramisu, Oreo and the mango bingsu and all of them were delicious. I especially liked the mango bingsu because of its rich flavour and the sweetness of the custard with it. It really was a great experience trying out the new sweet dish. The ambiance was great and the staff is also very polite and helpful. It was a great experience. I really loved it.

    The service was excellent, and the staff was friendly and attentive. They greeted me with a smile and were more than happy to answer any questions I had about the menu. I would highly recommend this cafe to anyone looking for a great place to relax, socialize, or grab a quick bite to eat.

    I love bingsu! It's popping up more across the city, but for a while it was hard finding a true bingsu as many places just serve shaved ice and not shaved milk. The Cups has been a solid option for bingsu with lots of different topping options. This Cups location is on the second floor right by Finch station. You pay at the counter, self-serve water, and then grab a seat while waiting for your buzzer to go off. There was also free wifi available. What we got: - Tiramisu Bingsu - Blossom Bingsu (Grapefruit and peach) Final Thoughts: The tiramisu bingsu came with a shot of espresso for us to pour on top of our bingsu and even a small slice of cake on top! The Blossom bingsu was a tad sour from the grapefruit but still very delicious as well.

    The shaved ice itself tasted amazing! But the mango did not have a fresh taste like it came from a can. My friend however enjoyed her strawberry cake bingsu.

    We ordered the Injeolmi in the small size. It was just the right amount for two people to share after having a meal before. Everything was really good. Just the right amount of sweetness. Space is cozy and welcoming. Because of this, there is a one hour sit limit.

    I recently stopped by this cafe and tried one of the cupcakes(injeolmi), and I have to say, it was absolutely amazing. Their service and the taste was on point. I would definitely recommend to those who loves cupcakes.

    Super cute Korean café that offers a variety of drinks (coffee/smoothies/juices) to shaved ice (bingsu). There are over 10 flavors to choose from and their expansive menu has a little something that everyone can choose to enjoy. I ordered the strawberry bingsu in cup size and for $10, I thought the price was very well worth it. They're very generous with their fruits, ice cream, condensed milk, and jam. Each bingsu has their own little add-ons that are delicious as well! A little tip in order to better enjoy your bingsu: try eating part of the top area so you have more space in the cup/bowl to push down and mix your flavor into the shaved ice at the bottom. This better distributes the flavor and all the ice has some sweetness to it! Overall: Food: 10 out of 10 Staff: 9 out of 10 Décor/Atmosphere: 9 out of 10

    The Tiramisu Bingso was really delicious. The Ginger lemon tea was also great. The staff was so kind, too. When I asked for more condensed milk, he gave me more right away. It was hard to find because the store was on the second floor, but I will definitely visit again.

    Super cute location and the bingsu was delicious. Got a small size and shared with a friend. We also got a green tea tiramisu, which was good but a little bitter.

    Ordered pina colada and red bean shaved iced to-go. Gand opening promotion gave me 50% off and it tasted amazing. I have been to the cups for many years and the Finch location lives up to its name! Wait time was short, friendly staff and clean interior 10/10 will come again for more

    Their dessert taste very nice. Definitely did a good job on that. The only reason why I put a 2 stars is because of the poor customer service. The cashier has a attitude as if she is irritated or annoyed at everyone. Whenever I ask something, like for tissue paper or the dessert details, she kinda rolled her eyes and forcefully explained. I hope to come back in the future, but also hope for a better customer service

    Very refined and well made dessert suitable for Asian taste buds. We have a sweet tooth but we don’t like too much sweetness. Strongly recommend!

  • 4/5 Uncle C. 11 months ago on Google
    Bike over with kids to enjoy the shave milke, cupcakes and grape slashy. We really like the grape slashy.

  • 5/5 Lucía S. 10 months ago on Google
    Great, tasty treats. The strawberry and traditional bingsu are the best. A small one is enough for one, can even be shared.

  • 5/5 Eric C. 2 years ago on Google
    Good bingsoo place in North York, just located north of Bishop on Yonge. Cozy seats with a wide variety if bingsoo flavours. Recommend coffee and tiramisu. Drinks are a bit pricey, but a good place for dessert.

  • 4/5 Isabelle C. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious Bingsu. The shaved ice is very smooth and thin compared to other restaurants which I like. Portions sizes are okay. Staff was friendly and restaurant was clean and neat.

  • 4/5 Vivian L. 1 year ago on Google
    I adore The Cups in Thornhill, so I thought while we are in downtown let’s check out the branch in Finch. Bingsu in this location is underwhelmed. Mango bingsu’s dominant taste is mango syrup, and mango pieces are canned mango. Kinda hope them to be real mango chunks. Injeolmi bingsu is a classic, can’t go wrong. Personally I love injeolmi in Thornhill branch more. The place isn’t the best for a big group meet up, as seating arrangement is quite strict (no table/chair moving). They also have max seating time, make sure to read the sign. Compared to other bingsu places near Finch, this place still stands out. Hope this review helps.

    A simple Korean dessert that is super easy to eat! It's known as bingsoo and is their version of a shaved ice dessert! Lots of choices to choose from, one cup is very filling for 1 person, easily shareable with others.

  • 4/5 SUPERBEIGE 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious desserts and one of the few places that has a great selection of sizes for their bingsu! Often this dessert only comes in an enormous size and I really appreciated the cup size for one person (would be great thing to take out & eat on the go in the summer) However, the desserts took a very long time to be prepared (like over 15 minutes) and the lighting in the dining area is bordering on prison-like and so it was a bit uncomfortable after a while

  • 5/5 Paul Y. 2 years ago on Google
    I always get their red bean bingsoo. The smallest size is enough for one person. It's not too sweet and has a nice balance of all the ingredients. Very refreshing with the shaved milk. Definitely recommend it. The other menu items should be good too.

  • 4/5 陶禧 2 years ago on Google
    The bingsu tastes so good and they have lots of flavor of latte that I really like! I put 4 stars because the music is about too loud that’s kinda disturbing while my friends and I are talking.

  • 5/5 sun l. 2 years ago on Google
    Love this place. I was on the 9 hrs road trips and randomly stopping by to get some desserts. The owner is super nice and the place is clean. I would imagine it would be good place to hangout once these covid ends. 👍

  • 5/5 Weijia Z. 3 years ago on Google
    Favourite Bingsu (shaved ice) chain store in town! A wide selection of varieties. Worth trying! They dont only add toppings on top of ice. There are layers of topping to make the bingsu tasty.

  • 5/5 Ming L. 2 years ago on Google
    I haven’t had this type of nice latte for so long. Love it! A great escape from a busy day ❤️❤️❤️
