Customer Review Summary
Fish-shaped bungeoppang is the most frequent draw. Custard is the usual filling, and diners also name Nutella, mozzarella and red bean versions, calling them fresh and addicting. Close behind is the bingsu, in matcha, mango and strawberry, with one reviewer describing the matcha version as light and fluffy with sweet red bean. Drinks come up repeatedly too, including the mango latte, strawberry matcha, brown sugar bubble tea and a blueberry smoothie, while udon and tuna kimbap represent the savoury side. Reviewers call the room cosy and relaxed, and one says it suits studying. Staff are described as lovely and kind by nearly everyone. One reviewer received a free chocolate pistachio cake, and another says each table was handed kimbap. The earl grey cake is only made sometimes, and the reviewer who loves it says to try it if it is there. When one diner arrived to find the kimbap had run out, the staff made it fresh to order.
