ongeundal — Restaurant in Seoul

Big cafe with lots of seatings and a wide range of drinks and pastry to choose from. Unfortunately both the coffee and pastry were bad in terms of quality and taste (presentation wise, yea they were cute). We ordered the vanilla apricot mille feuille, berry pound cake, caramel banana croissant, milk tea and coffee latte. Let me break down on each dish to the tee below. Berry pound: taste was artificial, loads of sugar for a typical pound cake. Icing had cute colour and a slight sour sweet flavour but that was all about it. Texture was not moist, a bit hard tbh. Mille feuille: an example of bad puff pastry. Pastry was tough to cut through (with knife, yes), the cream was just cheap whipping cream with no added flavour (where's the vanilla?) The apricot compote was standard and acceptable, but there was only a small amount to the whole thick pastry. It felt like eating a frozen bread more than a puff pastry. The almond paste they aded to gel the pastries together was embarrassing bc it tasted and felt like overcooked flavourless scrambled egg. Croissant: bad pastry, again. Texture wise, just like stale bread. No honeycomb inside, not flaky nor buttery. Caramel was of good sweetness with added ginger which i commend. Drinks: very little amount, mostly foam, served in strangely small cups. Coffee was meh, i had no idea about milk tea as it was my friend's. Service was fast but i literally witness this male staff being verbally abusive to another female staff as she was trying to avoid fight and doing her work and he kept provoking her non-stop (they need to do something anout this asap!!) It was packed at 2pm and there was no seat, we settled with a small table sandwiched between other tables. The payment at the cashier was illogical and confusing. Overall, a not great experience for us and i absolutely not...

If you're looking for a chill and relaxing day, you'll definitely want to check out this cafe with an industrial fitout and a rooftop area. The decor is sleek and modern, with exposed brick walls and polished concrete floors.

But the real star of the show here is the coffee and pastry selection. The baristas here really know their stuff, and they use only the finest quality beans to create their delicious brews. And the pastries? Well, let's just say that they're a work of art. Each one is beautifully presented, with delicate layers of flaky pastry and rich, flavorful fillings.

And speaking of presentation, the staff here really go above and beyond to make sure that everything looks as good as it tastes. From the latte art to the carefully arranged pastries, every detail is considered and executed to perfection.

But the real cherry on top (literally) is the rooftop area. With plenty of seating and a relaxed atmosphere, it's the perfect spot to enjoy your coffee and pastries while soaking up some sun or enjoying a cool breeze.

Overall, this cafe is definitely worth a visit. With its stylish decor, top-notch coffee and pastries, and relaxing rooftop area, it's the perfect place to unwind and enjoy a...

Overpriced food and drinks, unfriendly towards foreigners as they will not and cannot speak in English at all, and rolled their eyes on us when we’re trying to order in English.

We were trying to dine in with the cakes that we got, but the cashier kept speaking in Korean about something, and we were confused, she just kept speaking in Korean very quickly with no understanding of our situation. Turned out we need to order a drink for each of us as their minimum spend to dine in, one of us picked up some words in Korean, and we only understand it after 20 minutes of talking in different universes.

Our tour host came in time so we needed to leave, so we had to change out order from dine in to take away, drinks as well. And their staff made a big sigh and roll their...
