A dessert cafe on a hanok lane in Ikseon-dong. The hanok has bamboo and a pond, so the photos take care of themselves. The original souffle castella and the matcha fromage cake are the signatures, and the matcha cream soy milk sells well. Korean-leaning sweets such as a yakgwa set and a chestnut Mont Blanc round out the menu. Stone-drip coffee is on offer too.
