Reviewers describe Dessert Café Momo as a cozy, charming little Korean style cafe with a small, intimate space that can feel busy and not very spacious at peak times. The menu earns praise for bingsu and desserts, including mango and strawberry bingsoo that are fresh, not too sweet, and generously portioned, along with cakes, macarons, tiramisu, and matcha specialties, though some macarons are criticized for being too small or the shell too crispy. The atmosphere is warm and relaxing, with friendly staff and a sense of care, and sometimes a dog visits adding to the experience. Ordering is easy via an electronic kiosk, and the coffee and other drinks pair well with the pastries, with some remarks that the house drinks are well balanced and not overly sweet. A few reviews note that the place can get busy and space is limited, leading to occasional waits or the need to move along during peak times, but overall it remains a favorite for locals and visitors seeking a comforting dessert stop. Several patrons express the desire to return to try bingsoo again and highlight the pleasant neighborhood vibe and reliable quality across both drinks and sweets.
Their macarons used to be top notch. Recently, it's either too small or the shell is too crispy. Macarons should not be like that. Their cakes used to be good as well. I don't know what happened. glad the bingsoo still tastes the same. Oh well ☹?
The space is cozy without trying too hard, making it an easy place to slow down for a bit.
We started with the honey ginger lemon tea, which was warm & genuinely comforting, especially well balanced rather than overly sweet. The matcha cake was light & fluffy, with a clean matcha flavor that didn't overwhelm. We also tried the Injeolmi & mochi macaron & the chocolate macaron, both well made & satisfying, with textures that worked nicely together.
There's a sense of care in both the menu & the atmosphere. We'd love to come back to try their bingsoo next time & spend a little more time enjoying the space.

What can I say? Everything there tastes awesome! Form cakes to macaroons to tiramisu to bingsoo! Also very nice & friendly staff! I wish I was closer to be able to visit more often ❤?
Long live Momo! This little hidden spot offers delicious bingsoo to cool you down on a hot summer day. Don't forget to try their coffee one of their delicious cakes!
A super cute cafe with daily cake & macaron dessert options that are all vegetarian. The prices for coffee & cakes are reasonable & the portions are generous. The matcha cake paired very well with a Cortado & the strawberry cake had surprisingly fresh fruit. The coffee was strong but didn't taste bitter. There is banquette seating & tables that can accommodate 2-3 people. Everything was served with beautiful plating. The decor is super cute & cozy. The server was professional & friendly, despite seeming to be the only one working at the front at the time we were there. Will definitely return on a hot day to try out the injeolmi bingsoo!
I love this spot. The owners are amazing & always try their best. The strawberry shortcake is my girlfriend's favorite. So are the macarons. Honestly, if you have the money I strongly suggest supporting this small business. Truly topnotch. While I give everything a 5 star, I do have to give it a 4 overall since the price has sharply risen over the past two (maybe three) years. I believe we used to pay around 35$ for a small cake while now it has gone up to 50-60$.

I pre ordered a small whole cake for an anniversary. Writing was perfect, & my partner loved it. Cake is not too sweet, cream is light ! It doesnt taste like chemicals. It also came packaged in a pink box , reminded me of wes anderson movies. Loved the whole attention to detail! Thank you!
Such a cute Korean dessert place. Love the decor. They have coffee, cake & bingsoo (shaved ice). I came for the shaved ice. I had the red bean bingsoo. It was delicious. I would definitely come back to try the other flavours.

I crave the mango bingsoo all the time! I had no idea what it was coming into the shop, but once I tried it- nothing compares. Fresh mangoes- Definitely a must try! So many favours to choose from, so you're bound to find something for your taste buds. The strawberry cake is great too! If you're looking for fresh Asian-style dessert, you must visit cafe MOMO. My go to order it a hot chai latte with a mango bingsoo!!
This place is my favourite korean dessert place to-go. I am Korean myself, but the things I eat here reminds me of when I was living in Korea. The cakes are so freaking delicious, they have matcha, sweet potatoe, strawberry, blueberry, oreo cakes & so on. If you go there, they sell their cakes by pieces, if you want to order the whole cake, you will have to preorder 2 days in advance
You should definitely try their macarons & their korean shaved-ice dessert with all kinds of toppings. Must-try guys
On their IG they show some pictures of their cake & macarons artwork & yes. they have a dog named Momo, they called their cafe by his name he is adorable!
