Gelabong is a charming Korean dessert shop known for its delicious treats and friendly staff. The shop can get busy, but customers are helped promptly, and the staff is always friendly and helpful. Parking can be a challenge due to the small lot and the popularity of nearby businesses.
The menu features a variety of options, including soft serve, taiyakis (fish-shaped waffles), and mochi donuts. The taiyakis can be filled with flavors such as Nutella, custard, or Ube. Customers can add toppings to their orders at no extra charge. The soft serve is creamy and flavorful, while the taiyakis are a crowd favorite, with a crispy exterior and a warm, gooey filling. The mochi donuts have a delightful airy texture and are not too sweet. The shop is also a great place for boba or milk tea, with the jasmine tea with boba brewed fresh and coming with perfectly chewy boba—very popular among visitors.
Overall, Gelabong is a must-visit destination for anyone with a sweet tooth, especially those craving Taiyaki or mochi donuts. It’s a cozy place that mainly offers take-out, as there isn’t much space to sit and enjoy treats. Prices tend to be a bit higher, but the friendly staff makes decent recommendations, and the quality of the desserts makes it worth the visit.
