About Hanabing (Korean Dessert Cafe)

Mounds of snow-fine shaved ice built for sharing anchor Hanabing on Newcastle Street. Dim lighting and mellow K-pop keep the room low-stim, giving Perth groups a calm dessert counter to unwind after dinner. Regulars tackle the tropical bingsu—shaved fine enough to melt on contact—or order peach bowls topped with a square of cheesecake. If ice is not the mood, plates of warm banana toast and crisp waffles give companions an easy out. Street parking takes patience along this busy strip, but sharing a matcha-chocolate bowl with friends softens the crawl.

  • Shareable Bingsu Bowls: Large-format Korean shaved ice made to share, with varieties like peach cheesecake, tropical fruit, and matcha-chocolate.
  • Low-Key Lounge Setting: Mellow K-pop and dimmed lights create an unhurried, low-stimulation hangout after dark.
  • Baked Treats: Warm alternatives like thick banana toast and crisp waffles for companions skipping shaved ice.
