A hanok cafe entered over a stone bridge through a bamboo grove, with paper lanterns above the pond.

The signature is the souffle castella, baked to order with a 20-30 minute wait, available in original, mugwort, or strawberry compote. Black sesame, matcha, and strawberry fromage cakes round out the dessert menu. The 85-seat space is split between table seating in the main hall and a shoes-off tatami area looking onto the inner garden. The entrance pond, stepping stones, bamboo, and hanging lanterns are the photographed shot. In Ikseon-dong, the renovated hanok alley district between Jongno and Insadong. Designed around what the cafe calls the value of slowness.
