A new cafe and Japanese spot, offering desserts and more, has made its debut in the neighborhood. Located at 100 Stanton St. in the Lower East Side, the new addition is called Bonsai Kakigōri.
According to Time Out New York, the new business's owners have been peddling kakigōri – or Japanese shaved ice – at stands in the Canal Street Market and Smorgasburg market. With this new location, Bonsai Kakigōri gets its first stand-alone storefront, where you can find mounds of the sweet, frozen treat in classic and seasonal flavors. Bonsai Kakigōri also offers hot drinks and savory snacks.
The new arrival has gotten an enthusiastic response thus far, with a five-star rating out of five reviews on Yelp.
Carol L., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on May 5, wrote, "This place is absolutely amazing. From the lightness of the whipped cream to the different special crunchy toppings that come with each flavor, each kakigōri I tried was perfect."
Yelper James D. added, “The new Bonsai Kakigōri on Stanton Street is fantastic. The team over there is really about top-notch hospitality. You really need to run over and experience it."
Swing on by to take a peek for yourself: Bonsai Kakigōri is open from 9 a.m.–10 p.m. on weekdays and 10 a.m.–midnight on weekends.
