A Korean dessert café in Harajuku specialising in bingsu shaved ice and traditional sweet treats from across the Korean peninsula.
Sulbing Café Harajuku is the Tokyo outpost of one of South Korea's most popular dessert café chains, bringing its signature bingsu to the streets of Harajuku. The café has played a notable role in the Korean dessert wave that has swept through Tokyo in recent years, offering authentic flavours in a setting that feels contemporary and inviting.The menu is built around bingsu, the Korean shaved-ice dessert, which comes in a variety of flavours from the classic injeolmi to mango and green tea. Portions are generous and designed for sharing, making it a popular choice for groups of friends or couples looking for a sweet afternoon treat. Alongside bingsu, the café offers toast selections, traditional Korean drinks, and other seasonal desserts.
Located on the second floor near the Omotesando end of Harajuku, the café provides comfortable seating and a relaxed atmosphere that encourages lingering. It can get busy, particularly on weekend afternoons, so visiting earlier in the day or on weekdays offers a more peaceful experience. The sharing portions mean it is excellent value for groups.

The bingsu tastes the same as the one in Korea! There is no one in the cafe when we arrived, probably because it is winter time. However, unlike in Korea, this location in Japan imposes a rule that each diner must order something, so we are forced to order another drink for the 2 of us. This seems to be a rule in Japanese eateries.

Nice cafe break from the busy area. The cafe is on the second floor and provides a menu that is in English as well. Staff is very nice and speak English as well. Card payment is accepted. We ordered the sweet potato latte and it was good.
