[Recommended Bingsu Cafe in Hongdae] Cafe Allee and 17 Dossi

Bingsu (Korean shaved ice) can be thought of as a Summer dessert, but it is also prepared for people who cannot give up ice even if it is cold. 

There are so many types of bingsu available - from old style bingsu made of ice, jelly, red beans, and milk fruit, to bingsu made with plenty of fresh fruits, to milk bingsu that melts nicely in the mouth. In this post, we will introduce to you two bingsu cafe in Yeonnam-dong.



#1 Cafe Allee






First cafe that we will introduce is the Cafe Allee that is located just 6 mins walk from Hongik University Station. This is a place where you can try homemade red bean bingsu.




Just like other cafes, there are various types of coffee and other beverages, but in Summer, Patbingsu (red bean bingsu) is one of the best sellers. For bingsu, you can order for 1 person or 2 person, so don't worry if you come here alone.



The cafe is quite spacious, and you can see that the interior is neat and nice.




Find the special mascot hidden in Cafe Allee, which is the cat! As you take a bite of the bingsu and drink the coffee, just enjoy looking at the cat walking around the cafe freely. Indeed, it is a mascot that is cute and it attracts people's attention and gets their love.




This is the Cafe Allee's Homemade Patbingsu! It is a basic red bean bingsu put in the cool brass bowl with soft ice made of milk, and many homemade red beans in the middle, as well as injeolmi rice cake.





Mix well the injeolmi, homemade red beans and soft ice made of milk, and you can blow away the heat during Summer.






Homemade red beans are so much more delicious because they are not too sweet or savory, unlike other commercially made red beans that has strong artificial sweet taste. The red beans are large and soft and it makes you eat it non-stop.

Although it is made of simple ingredients that goes well with the chewy injeolmi rice cake, and one could finish the bingsu in just a short time.

As a homemade chocolate store, you are able to try various type of chocolate dessert. This is a famous chocolate store as many people come here to buy the chocolate bon bons to give as gift.




During our visit, we ordered the popular Summer menu of 17 Dossi - Chocolate Bingsu. Chocolate Bingsu is made of original chocolate and dark chocolate. Please take note that the Chocolate Bingsu is only available in 2 person portion.





The Chocolate Bingsu was served in a bowl and it looks soft and sweet. Since this is Summer bestseller, it can be sold out early if you come here too late. It is recommended to visit the cafe earlier if you wish to try the chocolate bingsu. You can also check 17 Dossi Instagram account for updates in case it is already sold out for the day.




At 17 Dossi, the toppings are served separately, so you can put the toppings as much as you like. You can also use the chocolate topping to adjust the sugar level according to your preference, so just put the amount that you want.




Chocolate bingsu topped with savory nuts, chewy chocolate snacks, sweet and soft chocolate syrup! It fills your mouth with a luxurious and sweet taste of chocolate. Most importantly, as a chocolate specialty shop, the chocolate that is soft and high quality leaves a strong impression. Besides that, the ice was also gently grind and soft like ice-cream. It is not as sweet as you think it is, so you can add on more toppings.


If you are feeling tired, why don't you come and visit these bingsu cafe to have some bingsu and chill?
