Mandro Teahouse - Davis, California

Gave 4 stars for service only because there was a tiny flying insect nearby.
Don't let that deter you from going here. I mean, the cashier and owners are so welcoming, the shaved is out of this world, and the atmosphere is so lovely and relaxing. Outdoor seating is available. I never had Korean shaved ice, but it was one of the best things I've ever eaten. Prepared with so much creativity and skill, you will not be disappointed. Gotta try it!!

I enjoyed their mango bingsoo, portion size is big and there were many mango pieces inside! The bingsoo texture is on the dense side, it’s creamy and milky. However there’s a strangely bitter aftertaste that I couldn’t pinpoint the origin after eating it.

We got a Mango Bingsoo, passion fruit tea and iced jasmine green tea. Everything was so good! The mango Bingsoo has very sweet and soft mango pieces and more mango hidden in the middle too! The shaved snow is sooooo delicate and fine it truly just melts in your mouth. Super smooth! The passion fruit tea has really fruit pieces in there. It is not only aesthetically pleasing but also so refreshing and tasty!
Service is fast. The staff are quite shy. They don’t say much but are so nice, attentive and polite. Decor is so cute. They also have games if you wanna play.
There are more I wanna try. I will definitely come back for more!

Mango sago and strawberry bing su. Strawberry bing su was amazing! Mango sago was not too sweet

Bingsoo is their saving grace. I give that a solid 4.5/5 and you really can't go wrong with either their mango or strawberry version. The fruit is sweet and fresh. The actual shaved ice texture is creamy while fluffy.

Onto the drinks, nothing stands out as better than average. Its all just the same quality as you'll get anywhere else.

I recently visited this tea house and was extremely disappointed. Despite placing my order for bingsu an hour before closing, I was forced to take it to-go to avoid using dishes. Meanwhile, all the other patrons were served their orders with the usual presentation. The atmosphere felt more like a hospital waiting room than a cozy tea house, and the employees were downright rude. Their lack of customer care really ruined the experience for me. I won’t be returning, and I definitely can’t recommend this place to anyone looking for a welcoming environment.

I see why this place gets so busy, It’s very unique. Never have I had any ice cream like this. The mango is delicious and sweet. Although the bowls of ice cream are expensive, you definitely get what you pay for. It’s definitely enough for two people to enjoy and even have left overs. Would go again, very nice “tourist” destination.

The injeolmi (soybean) and mango bingsoo's are to DIE FOR. The shaved snow is extra fine, and the sweetness is perfectly balanced. They provide evaporated/condensed milk on the side just in case you need any additional sweetness to your bingsoo. Bingsoo is prepared with layers of snow intermingled with layers of mango, soybean, or whatever your order of choice is. Keep in mind, it is an extra $3.00 charge to upgrade the bingsoo serving size to a large. To-go orders are packed carefully with an ice pack to keep the snow from melting. The mango sago was yummy too! The texture was smooth and dense enough to be filling. The teahouse is really busy during the evening, but the atmosphere is lively and welcoming. This is one of my go to places in NorCal for desserts! 😀
