| - [LOCATION] - 5/5
This a café is located at the First Markham Place plaza, outside the mall, and next to Entrance E. There are also lots of parking spots in the vicinity.
[SERVICE] - 4/5
Staff were friendly and personable. Our order took quite a long time to prepare, but I understand it was really busy that night. Good thing we got a restaurant pager that vibrates when our order was ready. So, that was pretty cool.
[DÉCOR] - 4/5
Earthy vibes with wooden furniture and vibrant green plants scattered around the café.
[FOOD QUALITY] - 4/5
High-quality ingredients. Usually, I think price of Bingsu is too high for something that is predominately made of water. However, Cups matches the value of the dessert to its price as they layer toppings a couple times with shaved ice at the bottom of the bowl.
[ORDER] - 4/5
Black Sesame Bingsu (Large) - $12.99: includes black sesame powder, mochi, sweet red bean, almond flakes, and black sesame ice cream. Black sesame powder had a very subtle flavour, and was not sweet. Mochi was a little hard, probably because the cold shave ice hardened the mochi. The sweet & satisfying red bean was THE BEST PART of this dessert. Almond flakes added a nice crunch, and black sesame ice cream was nutty and refreshing.
[OVERALL] - 4/5
Overall, the mochi was just a little too hard, but the other textures, layers, and components of this dessert complemented one another quite well.
