Best shaved ice. Ordered the injeolmi bingsoo and taiyaki. Good price and everything made fresh. Can’t go wrong with their shaved ice. Highly recommend

Sul & Beans Convoy Street San Diego, California
So, after a fantastic Korean dinner, we both decided to have a Korean dessert. It's been a while since we had dessert at Sul & Beans, which is connected to our other favorite desserts place, SOMISOMI.
The dessert we had is a traditional Korean dessert called Bingsoo
"Bingsoo is a popular Korean shaved ice dessert made with milk-based shaved ice and sweet toppings.:
We decided to get two items. One was the Chocolate Bingsoo, which was delicious. The Bingsoo was flavorful and fluffy. The chocolate brownies were a great accompaniment to the dessert. The next item we ordered was the Cinnamon Toast, which was delicious and flavorful. They have several to choose from.
The staff members are always helpful, friendly, and informative. The cafe is spacious and offers different seating areas. The only drawback is the parking. This is located in a strip mall with limited parking, but the desserts at Sul & Beans and SomiSomi are worth the wait.
Now Convoy is crowded all the time and all the restaurants and cafes are always busy. I know this because I'm a native San Diegan and have watched this area grow and watch how busy this road has become. So all I'm going to say is have patience. If you don't have it. Then I would avoid this area. If they are busy then thier busy. That can't be help because there is apossibility that this place could be popular like so many other places on this street.
Now, Bingsoo is not for everyone because some flavors could be something you are not used to. Of I don't like it, I would never mention it because it's a bit rude, especially to a culture who may love that flavor. The way I look at it is just a lesson learn, and I probably not order it again.
Overall, this fantastic place if you want to try a fantastic and delicious Korean dessert.
They charged me for regular boba but it wasn’t available and then they didn’t want to refund but insisted on crystal boba instead even after my disagreement on it. The taro and milk tea wasn’t tasty at all either. Wouldn’t be coming here again.

It was extremely crowded when we went on a Tuesday night. We really wanted the ice cream next-door, which I think is from the same restaurant, but the line was insanely long. so instead, we went to the Bingsu counter instead. It is a shaved ice milk dessert which we tried for the first time. My friend did not like it at all because it is not very sweet. I appreciated it how light it felt while still having the feeling of a frozen treat. We had the injeolmi flavor and the best way I can describe the flavor is imagine you had a bowl of Cheerios and milk, let it sit for a while, poured the milk out and froze it, and then shaved it like a snow cone. I would definitely go back, but my friend would not. I would try the strawberry or mango next time.
It was super crowded because of all the people who waited in the long ice cream line, but we were able to find a table.

The shaved ice is approximately $15 each, the portion is large and good to share with 2 or 3 people. We like the macha, black sesame and mango flavors. Coffees are meh.

It's so delicious and the ingredients are plentiful!! Filled with red beans and matcha powder. It’s not ice, it’s snowflake shaved ice, so it’s soft><Highly recommend matcha shaved ice

THE GREEN TEA BINGSOO THOOOO That's all I have to say.
Just kidding.
This place is always packed for a reason, and while there's usually more of a line in SomiSomi (taiyaki/boong uh bbang in same building), there's always people waiting for coffee or bingsoo too.
I feel like whenever I come here there's rarely open seats, there's people hanging outside, and the parking lot is swamped (absolutely nuts every time, park somewhere else imo).
The coffee is good, nothing out of this world, I love the reusable coffee cups they give you.
I haven't tried the Injeolmi, but it looks yummy.
The real star of the show for me is the Bingsoo. Portions are big, definitely (preferably) shareable between 2-3 people. They have a good variety of flavors. I've tried the classic, the taro, and the green tea, all great. I want to try some of the fruit ones but I always end up craving the Green Tea one and leave it for next time lol, one of these days!
You have to order in the same area you pick up your food/drink, so it can be a little disorienting if it's your first time going, as sometimes there's a line but it's for pick up and sometimes the line is for ordering. I feel like they should separate the area so it's more clear, but hey nothing that won't be solved by asking the people which line it is. Sorry introverts 😬 (it me, I'm the introvert).
10/10 keep coming back for more.
Like for real, every time I'm in the area I'm like... Well might as weeeeeeell, while I'm heeeeere 🐷❤️
We had the earl grey Bingsoo and it was very tasty. Very strong earl grey flavor and the snow was soft and melted nicely. The cream on top was sooooo good too!

Parking: free, but small lot. If you come past 4pm you probably won't get a spot.No Wifi! Can't WFH or study here.The strawberry citron tea and POG tea are very good. 5.50$ for small and 6$ for large and with a large you get the pretty plastic cup.Service is quick.

Stopped to get dessert at Sul & Beans. This is an authentic Korean dessert place. We ordered the mango bingsoo (no picture because it was devoured before we could take picture) and red bean taiyaki. Nice treats to satisfy our sweet tooth.
