I walked past this vintage dessert cafe and instantly thought to myself "what a sweet little cafe, I must try!".
As I walked through the door the owner was taking photos of this gorgeous layer cake, I smiled and thought "this place is perfect!".
What caught my eye was this sweet little number behind the glass window, the strawberry cheese tart.
It all went downhill from there.
Strawberry cheese tart
Looks can be deceiving, I was not expecting this tart to taste the way it did.
The tart was filled with whipped cream cheese, which I had never had before nor will I ever have again. I was not a fan of the taste and texture of the filling, the more I ate the more sickened I felt.
If only they had filled the tart with creme patissiere it would have been a total knock out. The tart shell on the other hand I cannot fault, it was nicely cooked and crumbly.
Cafe latte, Iced mocha and strawberry cheese tart.
This is probably the worst latte I have had on my trip to Seoul. As I was sipping on my latte I noticed something nasty in my mouth, it was burnt milk film! There is nothing worse than burnt milk while having my daily coffee.
The iced mocha, had about five ice cubes in it, so it wasn't even cold. We were sitting outside so it just melted and diluted the mocha.
You can tell how disappointed in this place I am right? I had such high hopes.
The exterior
From a glance you would think it looks all vintage and shabby. When I actually sat down and looked around, I realised it was just a hodge podge of mismatched old furniture salvaged from a yard sale.
Nothing vintage about this place, random junk lying around and bad coffee!
Seoul seems to have a huge coffee culture, everywhere you turn there is a cafe, finding a good one on the other hand seems to be a mission. I thought I was going to hit a new spot everyday and drink loads of great coffee.
To my demise I have only been to a handful of decent cafes.
