DongBaek Bakery soufflé pancakes — Restaurant in Seoul

Long story short: cute cafe but expensive and the food was -1 on a scale of 1-5

Visited here with my family as my husband was determined to try soufflé pancakes as soon as possible. We ordered the honey pancakes with one iced coffee for him and one drip coffee for me. The pancakes were ok but nothing to write home about as the main flavour is apparently egg and cream. The ice coffee was tasty but super sweet and the drip coffee was burnt as was the milk - how they managed to burn both coffee and milk we will never know.

For £25 pancakes and coffee (can’t remember how much it was in Korean won as I convert everything in my head) I would highly recommend you avoid this place. It was empty when we got there (albeit around 11am) and when we first got there it was like they couldn’t see us standing in the doorway wondering if it was open.

While the interior is pretty, I’m sure there are tastier, more insta worthy cafes in Seoul to visit.

Family friendly - neutral Taste - poor/bad Service - poor Accessibility - small pram/stroller ok but not wheelchair friendly Navigation - fairly...

I queued outside for 30min, WHICH IS considered rare since the average waiting time will be 1-3hrs. For 30min, it is very worthy to visit!

First, the hospitality is very good, we are given hot tea during our waiting and once we got a seat, the staff was explaining the recommendation, which is very true and satisfactory!

Then, the souffle pancake, the specialty of the place! It is very good, it is as if I am eating a heavenly soul that is melted in my mouth with no trace of sweetness. Then the cream coffee! The almond mocha cream coffee! I don't know what kind of sorcery they added to the cup but it is so heavenly! It is the tastiest coffee that I had in my entire life, to be honest. If the staff did not tell me, then I would skip this menu, which is why I need to appreciate them earnestly.

Actually, for the price is very high and expensive. But since you will get a taste of heaven, then money is unworthy to talk. Plus, the vibes are very nice and they even have hidden toilet which is very cute.

This is a must place to visit if you go to...

I walked up to the door and looked in and only one person was behind the counter. I check the time and they were open, so I slid the door open and someone from the side greeted me. I had to ask if they were open because it felt like I was breaking in. They give you a menu and allow you to sit anywhere. After 5 minutes I’m looking around to see how I’m supposed to order and I was eventually waved back to the front and placed my order. I was the only person in the restaurant but I felt like there wasn’t much customer service. I was not a fan of the seats at all. I get the atmosphere and style but the chairs they have aren’t the best for eating and the tables are all shapes and sizes that are more suited for 1 or two people max. The strawberry soufflé pancakes were amazing but the price was excessive for what it was. I ordered some coffee and that was really good as well. Food and drink were great but I’d try another spot for a...
