A True Hidden Gem
Tucked away from the hustle and bustle, this quaint cafe is a delightful escape from the outside world. Itโs not the easiest to find, thanks to its discreet signage, but rest assured, the map directions will guide you right to its door.
The cafe boasts an impressive array of coffee and cake selections. Our hazelnut latte (4/5) was a highlight, offering a perfect balance of sweetness with a discernible hazelnut flavor. They also feature three different manual brews, though only Tier 2 was available during our visit. The Tier 2 manual brew (4/5) presented a robust aroma and pronounced acidity. Despite the barista's claim of a melon infusion, the subtle fruit notes eluded my palate.
No coffee experience is complete without a complementing cake. We indulged in two varieties of Basque cheesecake: an original (4.5/5) and a dark chocolate (4/5). The original Basque cheesecake was exceptional, boasting an impeccable texture and a rich, cheesy flavor. A touch more caramelization would have introduced a pleasant bitterness, yet it still earned a spot on my shortlist of favorite cheesecakes. The dark chocolate cheesecake, denser in texture and topped with caramel, was a harmonious blend of sweet, salty, and bitter notes. A slight increase in bitterness would have solidified its dark chocolate identity.
Service was exemplary, with a friendly barista who not only crafted our drinks but also entertained us with the manual brewing process.
The ambiance evokes the charm of Korean-inspired cafesโcute, cozy, and warm, making you feel right at home, aptly reflected in its name. The cafe offers both indoor and outdoor seating and maintains a peaceful atmosphere on weekdays, though reservations might be advisable.
Verdict: Highly recommended. I will undoubtedly return, eager to try the elusive lemon tart that was reserved during our visit, along with more of their delightful coffee and...
ย ย ย Read moreNot spacious but homey! Mirip sama tipikal cafe2 di Korea yg ada di area perumahan. Cafe ini juga di area perumahan dan lokasinya nyempil gitu, jadi satu sama gedung kos-kosan.
Untuk yang membawa kendaraan motor masih bisa parkir di depan cafe, tapi untuk mobil bisa cari alternatif tempat parkir lain ya.
Yang suka lagu-lagu kpop, pasti senang kesini karena playlist lagunya korea. Jadi semakin berasa ngafe di korea. Area cafenya ada dua, indoor dan outdoor. Colokan listrik juga tersedia di tiap meja. Tapi menurut saya kurang nyaman untuk wfc karena meja terlalu kecil ya. Outdoornya itu semi outdoor, jadi masih nyaman dan tidak kepanasan/kehujanan juga. Toilet cafenya juga bersih. Pokoknya nyaman untuk stay disini.
Ada menu coffee, non coffee, cake, dan savory snacks. Salt bread/sogeumppang juga ada dong! Lumayan lah rasanya, cuma terlalu roti banget haha. Homey iced coffee/kopsu gula aren juga lumayan enak, gak terlalu strong. Selain itu juga coba choco cheesecake nya, choco dan cheese nya balance, enak juga untuk dicoba. Ini kalo siang bagus bgt sih pencahayaannya. Harga makanan juga affordable. Tidak terlalu mahal untuk cafe dengan dekorasi seperti ini. Saya pasti akan kembali lagi kesini, karena suka dengan suasananya dan tidak terlalu berisik, karena kapasitas cafe nya juga bukan untuk banyak orang. Overall sesuai...
