| - This is the second location for Soul Cafe in North York. They offer Korean shaved ice (bingsu), which is a refreshing, slightly milky, fine ice, loaded with various toppings such as matcha, black sesame, injeolmi, fruits, etc. This location is slightly smaller than the original, but feels a bit more modern.
It's serve-yourself cafe where you order and pay, then pick-up at the counter. My friends and I each ordered a small bingsu, the flavors were coffee, injeolmi, and cream puff. The injeolmi (soybean powder) also had bits of mochi, almonds and condensed milk, while the coffee one came with a scoop of coffee icecream, various cereal, and chocolate sauce. The one I got was the cream puff one. It came with a mountain of frozen cream puffs (tastes similar to costco cream puffs, which I really like anyways), whipped cream, one strawberry, and a lot of condensed milk. It was one of the sweeter bingsu. I usually don't like sweet things, but since it was something cold, I wasn't too overwhelmed by the sugar. The amount of cream puffs they put on the small is definitely enough to satisfy two people.
Overall, I had a great time. White was the main color in the cafe so the whole place felt bright. The atmosphere is very casual, there are some students doing homework there and taking full advantage of the free wifi.
