First time here. We ordered their mango cheesecake. I never had anything like this before. The 3 of us shared the regular size and that was enough. The shaved ice is like fluffy ice cream. The sauce was delicious. I also bought a bouquet of flowers there that a local farmer was selling.

Clean and delightful ambience! Hard to decide on just 1 or 2 items since the selections look amazing all around. They do serve coffees and teas but we came for the desserts! The waffle had a great semi-crunchy texture and was a nice compliment to the ice cream! The Mango shave ice came with a side of condensed milk yum!

I come here very often to study with my friends. The staff is very accommodating and seem really nice. They get really happy when you tip and sometimes they even bow, its really cute. All of staff is very communicative with each other and they all seem like hardworking college students. I enjoy their playlist a lot, I like the days when they play anime music. Their options can be a bit pricey so I usually order a couple drinks and an apple toast for my friends. Their toasts are by far the best option but their bubble waffles are also an okay option. Very nice place to have near my house, will be here again soon.

LUMI is amazing!! So delicious, fantastic atmosphere, great vibes all around. As someone who loves bread way too much, highly recommend the toast desserts!

One of my favorite dessert places in the Lynnwood area!! I come here religiously for the bingsoo (shaved ice) and the toast. Customer service is fine, although being seated can definitely be a hit-or-miss.

I have been here for three times, it was always slow and the staffs were not cleaning return the plates and leave on the table until I leave the store. Quality of the desert is good.

Weve been here several times so I feel I can accurately review this place.Pros:*dessert is always delicious and consistent*display cabinet is accurate to portion size and what you get*milk teas and drinks also delicious and consistent - Ive even asked them to make me a hot matcha latte (not on the menu) and the barista was friendly and willing. Bonus point cause she did a great job off my description*staff are friendly and seem to enjoy their jobsCons:*the staff may need more training on waiting tables (weve sat at tables with ice cream all over the floor, and or the table)*Theyre SLOW. Doesnt seem like any of them have been doing this for very long, or maybe need help multi-tasking*I see other reviews about waiting to be seated after you order, but no matter what time Ive come Ive never been seated...*not all staff are fully trained on the menu? Often see them repeating my question to one another? Ex: whats the difference between the cookies n cream / oreo?*Theyve brought my order to other tables where no one had their face mask on then my table... not very covid sanitaryOverall would highly recommend if you want somewhere guaranteed to be good, dont mind a wait, and not a germaphobe.

The whipped cream and ice cream taste like water. The presentation was nice but the displays looked nothing like what they gave us.

Review №17

Service is always amazing! We were 2 of the first ppl to visit Lumi during the soft open! Has some of the best bingsu weve had in Washington thus far, certainly puts snowy village to shame all around. Im so impressed with the staff, they are truly friendly and operate in a team dynamic unlike some places that have 1 or 2 staff slaving away which leaves service for guests feeling lackluster! It has certainly become more popular since our last visit some time ago, which speaks volumes because theyre doing things right here!Tables are cleaned and sanitized between guess, manager is wonderful she visits the tables in between helping the guests with orders, she genuinely wants to know that youre taken care of in anyway. Back of the house staff are quick and efficient, nothing ever missed or messed up.Atmosphere is beautiful and elegant, definitely picture worthy and insta worthy! 📷 Tables fill quick but not a long wait given that this is food you eat before it melts, but its much easier to snag a table when you come in smaller parties, but of course you get families who come in 10-15 deep expecting to get seating at a dessert café...lets use common sense ppl. 😉 Theyll get seated but when there is seating that caters to that amount of peopleLastly, the Bingsu and bubble waffles are to die for! This was the first bingsu place that Ive seen pair the flavored condensed milk with many of their desserts, and now theres a few places who do it, so theyre definitely trendsetters here with the food. Their bingsu is fluffy and delicious (brain freeze is welcome here) and the ice cream is so good, the fruit fresh and crisp! We definitely consider ourselves regulars, for sure our favorite spot for Korean desserts and yummy beverages🍨 😋

Mango toast is my fav. Decent place for dessert. Expect to pay about the same as you would pay for decent meals.

Review №19

Sooo good! Big portions! Bingsu tastes like fluffy ice cream and the toppings are generous. Bubble waffle was tasty and perfectly crisp. Coffee was 👍🏼. Clean and cute cafe. Can’t wait to try more flavors and boba.

Review №20

Excellent shaved ice, got the chocolate, with real whipped cream on top and bits of brownie on the outside, not an overly sweetened shaved ice, perfect!! (but sweetened condensed milk is provided if you need the extra sweet!!), light flaky ice too and went perfectly with my really good cappuccino!!.

Review №21

The atmosphere is excellent! Simple, clean style with just the right amount of flair, and they still managed to keep a cute and cozy feel. I was impressed the second I walked in, and that was the least impressive part of my experience. Befitting a dessert cafe, the desserts are the jewels in this crown. They have a great range of options, not only hot and cold, but from conventional flavors to bold and unusual ones. The taro bingsoo was delicious and were excited to go back and try more delicious desserts! As someone who doesnt like to eat sweets often, I can wholeheartedly recommend!

Li
Review №22

Was really pleasantly surprised! Its in a strip with a dentist and insurance company so I wasnt sure what to expect. It was really clean inside and the bingsoo was so good! We got the mango cheesecake and it was so fluffy. I poured about half the condensed milk and it was a little too sweet for me. Also got the lychee jasmine sparkling tea which was really good and had a good lychee flavor. Im glad to have another quality bingsoo dessert option close by!

Delicious! The strawberry nutella bubble waffle is amazing. My husband and I drove 40 minutes to get here and would definitely do it again.

Review №24

Very delicious desert that wont disappoint. This is something that is just not common here and is a nice unique place to take your friends and family. I was hesitant to get the frozen desert to go, but it held up very well. I will definitely be coming back but not as frequent since each dish cost almost as much as a meal. Would rather have a smaller portion for a slight more reasonable price. Give this view a thumbs to help others.

Beautiful delicious deserts! I had never had bingsu before and Lumi did not disappoint...Oreo crunch and berrylicious were both amazing, the berry was light and refreshing while the Oreo was obviously more rich and decadent. The shaved ice and condensed milk combo was 🔥 bring your kpop loving GF here immediately. Nice friendly staff and indoor seating

Yummy treats, we ordered strawberry banana bubble waffle to go. It was super yummy, well packed with ice cream separated in a different container. Great service from the staff. Decor was nice and clean as well. If its not for covid, we would totally eat in the cafe.

Staff was friendly, attentive and polite. They have a display case with the more popular options available. Good collection of stuff as well. Made fresh so it will take a minute for your order to arrive but its worth it. Will be back.

Review №34

We had never been to Lumi before you today. The outcome was so worth the wait. If I could offer any advice I would say that the person taking the orders should not be the same person delivering the orders, extra utensils napkins and such. We waited in line for at least 20 minutes before making it to the counter to order and there was only 2 orders ahead of us. But there were extra people standing around in the dish washing area. Just an observation. Friendly customer service and good dessert though.

Review №35

Im writing this to share my experience today at Lumi regarding the customer service and the quality of the food after visiting almost...every once a week since this store opened.Please... use ripe mangos for bingsoo. I think I enjoyed this place much better during covid times few months ago when the mango was at least edible. They are very hard to eat. I never seen green hard mangos in bingsoo..Today, one of the employees spilled my bingsoo order in front of me. I understand the mistake can happen. But what happened after was not what I expected. She just said sorry and turned around to add a new ice cream scoop. When you spill the food especially in front of the customer, most of the restaurants or even starbucks would make a new one. I didnt mind waiting. But I wasnt even asked about options to choose.Sad to experience this more often now because this was my favorite bingsoo place in Washington.

Review №36

Very chill cafe with a nice ambiance and good tunes. I ordered the oreo crunch bingsoo, it was a little pricey but the portion was pretty large. The shaved ice was nice and creamy, and the ice cream and other toppings were very tasty. Condensed milk on the side was a nice touch. Only complaint was the small cup made it very messy to eat this, but the tray caught most of my mess.Menu has a variety of other interesting looking desserts, definitely worth checking out if you are nearby craving something sweet.

Review №37

They have many choices on the menu. I only had injeolmi bingsu. The topping mochi is not fresh, its rock hard. The milky ice is not like snowy ice that you are looking for. By far, this is not snowy flake ice bingsu that I know.Please clean the bathroom. I usually check out bathroom in any food or restaurant. Consider thats the same cleanliness of the kitchen. Thats how much the owner care.

Such a cute place, nice vibes, indoor seating/dining, good selection, we tried the mango cheesecake in a regular size and it was plenty big enough to share among 2 although we could have shared with another person and been just fine.

Soooo good. This place opened up the week the pandemic hit and I was worried it would totally ruin their opening, but Im so glad they have survived! Really delicious desserts and a nice departure from the offensively sweet approach of western baking.

Review №41

This place has let me down tonight.. I did an online order, but it took them extra 30+ minutes from the time they gave me. Not only that my toast set around, getting soggy. I saw that they were busy and workers are young... If that was the case, they should have gave me different time. And their to go containers were incredibly dirty with milk and their sticky hands.I typically dont give bad reviews, but the management needs to step in and put some organization in this team. They lack cleanliness, organization and urgency.. I am not sure I would come back here again.

Review №43

I came here on a weekday afternoon around 3:30PM, and I was surprised to see matcha as a seasonal flavor and not a standard one. Thankfully, matcha was in season when I came so I got that without the ice cream and asked for extra rice cake and red bean. I got the single portion and it was a lot, and I was pleasantly surprised to find a layer of red bean inside the shaved ice, awesome! A container of condensed milk also came with it. The flavor of the shaved ice was very matcha-y, and the rice cake was super chewy, delicious! It’s pricey at about $10 post-tax and the portions for that price is pretty small.

Review №44

Who would have thought that you could find the cutest Korean-style dessert place in Lynnwood? The bingsus here are sooo good. They’re light and fluffy and come with a little dish of sweetened condensed milk you can pour on top. The staff are all super friendly and welcome you in as soon as you step into the cafe. The place is clean and the decor is nice. I would say the single bingsu portion is enough to share between 2 people. Would recommend bringing all your friends here and sharing a bingsu ^ — ^

Overall snacks and drinks are good.My one complaint is their boba waffle. In the name of crispy-ness each boba is very hollow. But thats a personal preference so just be warned if you were expecting more of a full thing.

The best place to get snow shaved ice in town! I was a big fan of snowy village in Richmond BC (the one in UW isnt that good), and now I dont have to travel all the way to BC! Love it! ❤️ btw they are open for dine in now.

Review №53

Went to their grand opening today. Never been around this area but the building is new, cute, and clean with plenty of parking. After we ordered we did have to wait 25-30 minutes for both the bingsu to arrive to our table. This place is also overpriced compared to other bingsu places such as Snowy Village. For two people here, it would cost around 12$. Other places would charge 9.50$. The drink with boba would come out to 6.75$ which is the most expensive boba drink I’d purchase. The food itself was good, no complaints. Hopefully they lower their prices and increase their work speed for the bingsu and I would happily return.

37 weeks pregnant and I was asked to move from my table for the family behind me.I waited for a table to clear out, finally sat there, and to my surprise I was asked to move, again, for the **Second** time, for a family that **Just** came in...I was given the option to sit in a high barstool.... Yikes!! Did I mention Im barely 5ft tall AND 37 weeks pregnant? Thats month 9.. how thoughtful are these workers

Review №59

I was enjoying my dessert, until a worker asked a pregnant woman to move from her seat, so the family behind her partner who was in line, could sit at that table. TERRIBLE!!..but wait, it gets worse....The pregnant lady waited for a table to be emptied, and when there was finally one, they sat down and a worker ASKED THEM TO LEAVE AGAIN... For another family that just got in. I hope they cancelled their order

They’re just plain rude. It made me and my husband so upset that I had to create a google account so I can review this place. We thought we found a very nice place where we could have our favorite Bingsu and ice cream, but NOPE! Thrashy servers! We DO NOT recommend!

We were given someone elses order which I think is very unsanitary. Once we told someoe it wasnt ours, it still took about 3-5mins until they took it and gave it to the right party —Without changing it or making a new one for them. Gross!!Bingsu was Very Messy to eat.No napkins given to us.We were given forks, for i dont know what reason, but oh well not a problem.Bubble waffle tasted like it was half cooked.Just glad the bingsu tasted alright...

I’ve been there before but this time the lady that was taking our order was soooo rude to us. The bingsu was good but the girls attitude was not. She didn’t even serve us the bingsu, she made us go get it while the other staff served it to us. I am very disappointed that she is the reason why this is only a 3 star.

Came here today, I’ve seen this place on instagram and thought i would give it a try, the inside is beautiful and i love how they display their products, Got the Jasmine Mango Drink it was BEYOND TOO Sweet even the sparkling drink was too sweet as well, also the 16oz looks more like an 8oz, price wise too a bit expensive for what you get.Would I recommend to come here?Id have to try and give them another shot and then determine a final answer.

Easy-going cafe with a unique interior. Offers sweets such as the ever-popular bingsu (Korean shaved ice), milk teas, and bubble waffles, a few with special flavors such as the Assam-focused ones. Right now service seems to be a little slow (they are brand new, so give some time), but the treats and service seems to be at a good spot. Also a great place to chat and study!
