It's just too bad I can't upload videos. This place is a hidden gem in Hongdae. It's very well hidden. But they have the best cakes ever, even though we couldn't try their signature cake. But I will! Next time! The space is small and crowded during weekends. Just... don't drool over the phone looking at the pictures haha

우연히 카페 찾다가 음료와 디저트 비쥬얼보고 한 번 오고싶었어요. 매장에 사람이 많을까 걱정했는데 다행히 자리가 있었어요. 다크핑크모카, 딸기파르페, 딸기홀릭 이렇게 시켰는데 비쥬얼은 넘 이뻤어요 딸기와 초코 조합 위주의 맛이라서 달달하네요. 단거 땡길때 강추!!

We had tiramisu with ice cream on top with a few strawberries, it was out of this world. We split it between three people, and I wish I had my own. Vibe it’s very relaxed. I will come back on this trip.

초콧렛 듬뿍 메뉴도 다양하고 모두 맛보고 싶지만 배가 부르다 위치가 애매한 곳에 있지만 한번 가봐서 맛봐도 즐거운 곳 가격은 저렴한 편은 아니지만 초콜릿 만족하고 왔음

The tiramisu of this cafe was really tasteful and sweet, the combination with the ice-cream, the chocolate and the cherries makes it even better. If you looking for a sweet chocolate dessert (but not too much chocolate), it’s the right cafe for that! I had the pink mocha drink and it was really good as well but a little small. The place is pretty charming and peaceful.
