The desserts are all so good. They’re also shareable as a group. I like that they let you customize desserts as well so there’s something for everyone. It does get pretty packed since it’s in a busy area

I'd been craving the Basque cheesecake that became a huge craze in Japan, and stumbled across this spot. It was packed they are clearly popular! They're taking the Basque cheesecake trend that swept Japan and giving it their own Korean twist, so I was excited to give it a shot.<br><br>The presentation is stunning. A perfect caramelized, burnt top just like the authentic version, with a gorgeous creamy center. Seriously impressive on looks with a cute little purple box .<br>Unfortunately the flavor didn't quite match my expectations. It was noticeably saltier than I'm used to, which caught me off guard . Even after eating about a quarter of it, that lingering saltiness left a strange feeling on my tongue.<br><br>For me personally, it didn't reach the standard of Basque cheesecakes I've enjoyed in Japan . Taste is around a 5/10. On the bright side, the packaging is super cute and very Instagram-worthy, which I'm sure is a big part of its appeal.
This place is a decent dessert stop, but it’s not a spot I’d stay at for more than twenty minutes. There was a cold draft through the entire hall and it was insanely loud. However, the food was good, it came out very quickly, and the prices were not outrageous.
Love the Bingsu here always. The ice is so soft and smooth. It’s so not melting and you can just keep enjoying the atmosphere while your bingsu is still cold.
probably the best dessert i had while in nyc…and as a certified sweet treat girl i can assure you i tried a LOT. the tiramisu basque cheesecake was out of this world, and if i had more time i would’ve stopped by again. the cream was incredibly sweet while the cake itself was more subdued creating the perfect balance. the atmosphere is nothing crazy, but it definitely would accommodate bigger groups as there’s some large tables. highly recommend!!
We ordered shaved ice, and it was NOT a shaved ice. I was expecting to have a more authentic Korean version, but it was just a pile of ice cream. I think they might have shaved a ice cream, but definitely not the ice.<br>The ice cream was really sweet, while the strawberry on the side was too sour. They did not balance well.<br>We paid ~$17 after tax and the portion was generous(it will suffice 3 people).<br><br>The space was big, so it can accommodate big group.<br><br>After ordering at the entrance, you will have to pick up the food and clean up after yourself.
I stopped by here for their Dubai Chewy Cookie. The pistachio and kunafa filling inside the mochi was generous. I think each mochi came out to about $7-ish. Mochi was crunchy, chewy and delicious. I was so focused on trying the mochi that I forgot to try other sweets. I would definitely stop by again in the future.
I’m lowkey a hater of this place, BUT their hotteok is really yummy (the only thing I would order from here) - would have rated this 3/5 stars if not for this item<br><br>There’s usually a line for this place (I don’t see why tho)<br><br>- Mango madness bingsoo: 3/10, the most mid Bingsoo I’ve had :| the mango flavor is also so artificial. The only bingsoo I’ve ever had that I couldn’t finish. So overrated<br>- Hotteok w/ vanilla ice cream: 11/10, SO GOOD. Underrated item from their menu. Comes very warm and with vanilla ice cream. MUST GET!<br>- Matcha beignets w/ green tea ice cream: 8/10, pretty good! Texture is soft, but prob wouldn’t get again. The green tea ice cream was yummy<br>- Dubai chocolate cookie: 7/10, I liked it, but the marshmallow to filling ratio was off. Too much marshmallow, so it lowkey just tasted like a smore. Not as good as Seoul Sweets but cheaper and larger
The Basque Cheesecake is a must try. Simply Delicious.<br>Super popular place so seating inside can be a bit of a challenge as it’s always crowded in the evenings.
I've been to Grace Street several times over the years, a KTown hotspot at this point. Recently, I stopped by to try their new Dubai Chewy Cookie (두바이).<br><br>Its a mound of pistachio cream and kataifi wrapped in marshmallow and coated in cocoa powder. I found it to be quite delicious, with the contrasting textures of the soft, stretchy marshmallow and the crunchy, sticky filling. Flavor is not too sweet, and nutty from that pistachio cream.<br><br>Definitely recommend visiting to try this and their many other treats like their shaved snow, basque cheesecake, new chocolate beignets, and more.
A popular dessert shop in the middle of Ktown, there is often a long line out the door at night as people stopby after dinner nearby. If you are getting a basque cheesecake, can buy one to go at the front counter. The other items need to be ordered there as well then good luck finding a seat.<br><br>The large bing sus consists of fresh shaved ice layered with sweet syrup and various fruits large enough to be shared. Also do try out the fresh matcha Beignets.
I tried the matcha ice cream with red beans at Grace Street Coffee & Desserts, and honestly, the portion is massive.<br><br>It tastes really good. The matcha is strong and earthy, not overly sweet, which I really liked. The red beans add a natural sweetness and a nice texture, and once the ice cream starts melting, everything blends together into this creamy, satisfying mix. I’d definitely order it again.
I’ve been going to Grace Street Cafe for years, and it never disappoints. Their Basque cheesecake is hands down my favorite in NYC — perfectly creamy, rich without being too heavy, and always consistent. It’s the kind of dessert you crave and keep coming back for.<br><br>The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, whether you’re stopping in for dessert, coffee, or just a quiet break in the city. Service has always been friendly, and you can tell they really care about quality.<br><br>Grace Street is one of those rare places that lives up to the hype every single time. A must-visit if you love great desserts and Vietnamese coffee!
My go-to spot for some late-night sweets. The Mango Madness shaved snow item is my favorite to order and hits the spot with its notes of freshness. The ice is smooth and light, despite being cold, and the mango along with banana is a sweet compliment to the rest of the dish.
dessert time and catching up with a friend! this place was one of the only places still open relatively late at night in new york ktown and it was packeddddd. we found a little table by the window and shared this mango snow. it wasnt overly sweet and was a nice little treat to end the night :)<br><br>service was great! asked for recs and he told us to get the mango madness which we all loved!
