Great article, BUT macaron =/= macaroon. Totally different cookies.
와….기다릴수없어요…모두먹고싶어요 ㅠㅠ
Great list! but what about the liquid nitrogen ice creams? There’s this cool hidden away one in Ewha and they give you a syringe full of chocolate 🙂 the Tim Tam flavor is the best!!
The Artistically Challenged
hi, what is the store name? any other recommended ice cream / must go cafes in seoul?
There is one at the airport (Incheon) on the 2nd floor above ticketing that does the liquid nitrogen- very cool
That sounds awesome can’t wait to see it next semester
Unfortunately Milky Bee has shutdown. When we tried to find it in May 2016 it had closed down due to the site being redeveloped.
Thanks for letting us know. That one looked especially cool.I’m sad it is closed.
Hi,
I was wondering do you guys know ‘Ice Factory’ popsicles? Do you know where can I buy them in Seoul?
Thanks.
Milky Bee still exists in Myeongdong. On Google maps it would be at the southeast corner of Myeongdong-gil and Myeongdong 10-gil (to the left of Citibank on the map). At the location there is a Olive Young (ground floor) and No. 1 Steakhouse at the northeast corner.
Omggg! Some of them are too cute too eat. Thanks for the nice photo and information. I really love dessert and ice cream I would like to try all of it next time I visit Korea : ))
I used to try only foot long ice-cream. So, next time I would like to try another. Thank you for your information!
