What is Sulbing?
Sulbing is a modern Korean dessert café — a dessert chain that reinterprets traditional Korean flavors such as injeolmi, red bean and rice cake through bingsu, toast, hotteok and drinks.
It is not simply a coffee café, and it is not a preserved traditional teahouse. Bingsu is the signature category, with side desserts and drinks around it.
