Cafe Bandal

Cro-boong has a crunchy glazed croissant and comes with a generous amount of ice cream!

So yummy! I decided to try something new and got the Corn Matcha Latte and a Cream-Cro-Boong with strawberry. The Matcha was sweet and creamy and the Boong was crunchy and warm making the pink cream and strawberries extra refreshing! The person working was so kind and gave me advice on what to try! I am currently doing a mini LA dessert Tour with my Hubby and this is our favorite so far!!

Discovered a cute little café in K-Town! I tried the custard cro-boong, a pastry filled with smooth, creamy custard. It had just the right amount of sweetness, making it absolutely perfect. To top it off, I had a great time playing the board game Azul with my family—such a fun experience!

The cro-boong was tasty, but it seemed like it was sitting on the counter for a long time. If they heated it up before serving it, it would have been tastier. They have a few tables and board games inside.

My sister and I were craving taiyaki after dinner and found Cafe Bandal! We got the pistachio and pecan praline ice-cro-boongs, and they were delicious! We really like the glaze on the outside. Combined with the generous scoops of ice cream — they were the perfect treat. I would come back when I am in the area!

My friends and I wanted something sweet to eat after brunch and we couldn’t help to stop by here after noticing Cafe Bandal’s vibrant sign. The cafe was still in its soft opening stages and the owner, Jenny, shared that the cafe opened only a few days ago. I’m usually hesitant with new cafes, but I’m glad I stopped by. I’ve never seen nor tasted anything like the cro-boong (Korean taiyaki with a croissant base) before. Not only was it super buttery, the crunch from the sugary crust gave it a nice texture. The combination of the flavors from the ice cream and the cro-boong was so good! I can still remember the taste. My friends and I got both the cream and ice cream fillings. Both were really good, but my favorite was the banana cream filling. It tasted like a banana cream pie but way better. Oh, and it was such a good combo with the cold brew einspanner. The coffee was bitter but the cream on top gave it a perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness. All in all, my experience was great. The cro-boong was delicious. There was plenty of parking and the owner was super sweet. Definitely a must try! You won’t regret it.

Holy moly! These are some of the best desserts I've ever had. We tried the banana creme and the strawberry creme ones. Soooo good. The owner was so nice as well.

Love, love, love this place!!!! The owner Jenny is so kind and friendly!! We travel a good 20-30 minutes to get here, but it is sooo worth it! There’s games to play when you sit and eat this fabulous goodness! Parking on the street is pretty good. Only once we had to walk a couple blocks, but again it’s so worth it though!!! I love how this is her baby and you can tell that she puts her all into making whatever you end up getting here. Love that! Support your small businesses and women owned at that! Go visit Jenny!!! A+++ all around!
