Grace Street Coffee & Desserts

Leah LeBrewer a month ago

Grace Street was the perfect dessert stop after dinner in Koreatown, and the XOXO with the Basque burnt cheesecake might be the perfect two desserts to order together. The Basque burnt cheesecake is dense, rich and heavy in the best way. The deeply burnt, caramelized top has this almost smoky toasted flavor, while the inside is thick, creamy and indulgent without being overly sweet. Then you take a bite of the XOXO and it’s the complete opposite. It’s light, cold, sweet and refreshing, with fluffy shaved ice cream, bright strawberry flavor, fresh strawberries and chewy jelly underneath. After a few bites of that rich cheesecake, the cold strawberry XOXO almost resets your palate. That contrast is what made these so good together. Rich, dense, burnt and creamy followed by light, fruity, bright and refreshing. We kept going back and forth between the two instead of getting tired of either one. The XOXO is also huge and absolutely made for sharing. If you’re coming with someone else, get these two and split them. I honestly wouldn’t want one without the other now. Such a great combination and an easy 5 stars.

We came to Grace Street Coffee in NYC after dinner around 10 p.m. The place was pretty loud, so it was hard to have a conversation. We ordered two shaved ice desserts—one mango and one sesame. They were both really good and very fluffy, almost like eating ice cream. The desserts were definitely the highlight, although the noise made it a little difficult to relax and enjoy the experience.

Grace Street is one of our favorite K-Town stops for a late-night dessert. There’s plenty to share, and it’s a fun place to hang out after dinner. It’s almost always crowded, though, so finding a table can be tough, especially with a bigger group. Come for the bingsu. The ice is unbelievably fine and soft, with an almost creamy texture that melts in your mouth. Somehow it stays cold and fluffy forever, so there’s no rush to finish it. The bowls are huge, the flavors are great, and it’s refreshing without being overly sweet. The Basque cheesecake is pretty great too.

This place has always been crowded every time I went so be wary of that (may be hard to find seats, especially for bigger parties), but the bingsu here has always been so delicious and amazing. Extremely refreshing, perfectly sweet, and with a bunch of solid flavors this is definitely the bingsu spot that I would recommend! Also big plus that they have free water for patrons! The inside seating area isn't the best/nicest, but it gets the job done!

Delicious desserts! We got their burnt cheesecake and strawberry cheesecake shaved snow. Both were so delicious. Best Basque cheesecake I have ever tried. And the shaved snow, the texture was different but good. It was like mochi ice 😂 we need to come back and try more things.
