Outstanding shaved ice cafe located in the heart of Chinatown! I have to make a stop at Sweet Moment every time I'm in NYC, and I'm blown away every time by how perfectly fluffy the ice is and the number of mix-ins they add to each bingsoo. I switch up my order each time I visit, but I've recently been obsessed with their mango and strawberry matcha bingsoos. They come in two sizes -- the small fits in a 16-oz plastic cup, which is the perfect size for 1-2 people, and the large option comes in a lovely little black pan and can easily serve 3-4. The mango bingsoo is delightful, with layers of their perfectly fluffy, milky, and slightly sweet shaved ice sandwiched between a slightly tart, slightly sweet mango puree. There are a few mini mochi pieces mixed in throughout the shaved ice, and then the whole thing is topped with a scoop of ice cream, fresh mango chunks, and little cubes of cheesecake. As a finishing touch, they drizzle on a bit of mango syrup and, to add a slight bit of crunch, a few cornflakes and a small wafer roll. The various pieces come together to create a great combination of sweet and tart, and there are so many different textures in each and every bite. Their strawberry matcha bingsoo is equally delightful, with layers of their perfectly crafted shaved ice studded with pieces of mini mochi, and slightly sweet and tart strawberry puree. The bona fide tour of shaved ice is topped with a huge scoop of matcha ice cream, whipped cream, fresh strawberries, and white chocolate shavings. Then, the entire thing is drizzled with strawberry and matcha syrups, which give the ice lovely stripes of white, red, and green. They definitely load up each of the shaved ices with plenty of mix-ins and toppings, although they could probably add just slightly more. The ratios are a bit off, so the last quarter or so of the shaved ice tends to lack a bit of flavor. The staff is also super friendly and there's a decent amount of seating, so you should be able to enjoy your shaved ice inside; even if you aren't able to snag one of the single-party tables in the back, there's a large communal high-top right next to the cashier counter that's a great spot to hang out and people watch. The front half of the store also often has a few small tables for local vendors (often folks selling k-pop merch), so you can also browse their selection as you wait.
Came here in 2018 and had to come back this trip. The drinks are so cute, and really delicious coffee. The macarons are amazing, my favourite is the pistachio!!!
Their black sesame bingsoo (17) was nice and just moderately sweet. Great as a dessert for a group of 3. Their latte was quite good too!
This place has lovely shaved ice. It’s not drenched in sugar or condensed milk. You can add it yourself. I love the fruity melon one! The large is enough for 3-4 people. Tastes great. Bathroom is included. Nice added feature in the heart of Chinatown. Cute place who adores BTS w life size cardboard figures and music. It’s kinda loud in here because there are a lot of people and the desserts are tasty. There is a bathroom but sometimes it’s not in order and they do have Wi-Fi but they don’t have it for Friday Saturday Sundays. Overall, it’s a fun place to have dessert and talk with friends. But do not bring your car here because parking is terrible as in many places of New York City..
Such a cozy little dessert spot tucked in Manhattan! I stopped by for a treat and was so glad I did. The bingsu was fluffy and not overly sweet, and the presentation was adorable. The staff were kind, the vibe was chill, and it’s the ...
Nice location, clean and led by friendly staff. The desserts were amazingly yummy and well in size. Its a modern, relaxed athmosphere there to enjoy a cup of coffee or work.
Aye terpyfam now thissss.....this tf I'm talkin bout!! this has to be one of the best dessert shops in the city. I'll be back soon af cuz this is a bib frfr. The shaved ice is a nice consistency, the small cups are tricky to eat but the experience is unreal. The strawberry matcha is wild... the matcha sauce with how fresh the strawberries were just crazy. Overall not super sweet and an asmr experience in textures. The condensed milk gummies are soooo good. This is a big win! Got a yuzu-ade which really delivered authentic yuzufruit flavor which is like a sweet lemony grapefruit mfer. This one rly surprised the fucc outta ya guy so much I'll be in here more often ngl
Even the cup version is big, can be for 2 people. We like the strawberry matcha. Place is popular so can be pretty crowded.
