Pour espresso over a chocolate cactus at a desert-themed Seochon cafe

Self-paid. The blogger paid for this visit.

A quiet Seochon cafe named after the Arabic word for mirage, done up in sand tones with sky-blue tables. The signature is the Desert Afternoon, warm espresso poured over a cactus-shaped chocolate.

선인장은 단순히 귀여운 장식이 아니라, 맛까지 함께 완성하는 요소라는 생각이 들더라고요.

The cactus isn't just there to look cute. It finishes the flavor.

Is it for you?

Go forThe Desert Afternoon: the chocolate melts into the espresso, so the bitter coffee turns soft and sweet, and they bring a glass of water for after. The tangerine sorbet tastes of Jeju gyul and resets your mouth after the coffee. The room carries the desert idea all the way through, with stone details, a camel figure and pyramid lamps.
Skip ifYou don't like sweet drinks or want a full meal. The signature finishes very sweet, and the menu is coffee and small desserts.
