About Nimbo - Late Night Desserts, Bingsu and Matcha

Hardware Street’s compact dessert bar draws late-night CBD crowds for bitter-creamy matcha and snow-fine bingsu. Shaved ice arrives stacked with cheesecake and chewy dango, skipping cloying sweetness for balanced texture. Regulars drop in after dinner for the Matcha Dubai toast—crisp kataifi pastry packed with nutty pistachio spread alongside green tea ice cream. The room is tight with just a handful of two-person tables, making space cozy and quick to fill. Night owls settle in over thick iced matcha lattes or slices of matcha basque cake until orders wrap at 10:30 PM.

  • Matcha Bingsu 4.0: Shaved snow ice topped with cheesecake bites, chewy dango, and bitter-rich green tea cream.
  • Dubai-Inspired Sweets: Buttery toasts and houjicha cookies layered with crunchy kataifi and pistachio spread.
  • Late-Night CBD Hours: Doors stay open until 11:00 PM on Hardware Street with last orders taken at 10:30 PM.

  • Multi-Layered Shaved Ice

    Each shaved snow ice bowl is loaded with harmonious textures, combining fluffy ice, chewy dango, red bean, and crunchy elements.

    The textures were amazing and the flavours felt really balanced.

  • Dynamic Texture Contrasts

    Dishes like the mochi French toast and stacked shaved ice bowls pair crispy, soft, chewy, and creamy elements for an exciting sensory contrast.

    Sweet, creamy, crunchy, cold… it’s a texture party and everyone’s invited.

  • Umami-Rich Matcha Brewing

    Specialty tea beverages provide authentic, umami matcha depth balanced with smooth creaminess rather than excess milk or sugar.

    Iced matcha latte is thick and umami, very well made and not bland or overly milky at all.

  • Balanced Flavor Profiles

    Matcha drinks and signature bingsu offerings hit the exact balance between earthy tea bitterness and mild sweetness without palate fatigue.

    really nice balance of bitterness and creaminess.

  • Matcha Bingsu

    The Matcha Bingsu 4.0 is definitely the highlight! The toppings like the cheesecake and dango work so well together and it’s not overly sugary.

    Their Iced Matcha is also one of the better ones in the city, really nice balance of bitterness and creaminess.

  • Injeolmi Bingsu

    That Injeolmi Mochi Bingsu was unforgettable and it struck a perfect calm, creamy note with just the right chew and sweetness.

  • Pistachio Mochi Toast

    Love the chewy texture from the mochi. The pistachio sauce was not too sweet. It was super bomb!!!

  • Kaya Bingsu

    We tried the Kaya Bingsu. It is very unique among many Bingsu shops. The coconut palm sugar is rich and tasty.

  • Lemon Tart Bingsu

    Ordered the lemon tart bingsu. Probably the best bingsu I’ve had. Typically the bottom of bingsu is just ice but this one had flavour all the way through. Tasted just like a Lemon tart!

Before you head over

Practical timing, seating, and ordering tips grounded in visitor experiences.

  • Arrive Before the 10:30 PM Kitchen Cutoff

    The cafe stays open until 11:00 PM, but kitchen cutoff for dessert orders is at 10:30 PM. Plan your post-dinner stop before 10:30 PM to avoid missing out.

  • Keep Groups Small to Avoid Table Delays

    Hardware Street space is compact with roughly 10 two-person tables, making seating tight for larger parties and leading to lines during peak dessert hours.

  • Visit Weekdays to Skip Weekend Surcharges

    Weekend visits include a surcharge that noticeably increases total bills, so visit on weekdays if you want to keep per-person costs lower.
