Inside and outside Café Ohkam, up to the third-floor rooftop

A three-story building with a bit of a Yeonnam-dong vibe. This place is known for its fig cake and its cat! There's a sign saying not to touch the cat haha.

The first floor has this kind of feel!

Here's the second floor!! The cat we spotted from the first floor has claimed a whole seat for itself haha. It says not to touch it, but of course people still do haha. Save the cat~~

It's so cute like this that it's hard not to touch it. I wanted to touch it too, but someone else was already petting it so I couldn't... sorry for bothering you, kitty.

Anyway, the second floor was also packed with people by the window wall. Mostly female customers haha.

This is the rooftop on the 3rd floor. Visiting in the evening, it wasn't hot at all and had a nice atmosphere!

Making silly faces with the convex mirror haha, funny stuff.

What's on the Café Ohkam menu? Fig bingsu (shaved ice) is the headliner

Here's the menu. Since fig is the café's signature ingredient, the fig bingsu looks seriously amazing. They also give you a cookie if you write a review!! ><

How do the mascarpone tiramisu, strawberry latte and chocolate latte taste?

Mascarpone tiramisu ₩8,800 Strawberry latte ₩6,600 Hot chocolate latte ₩6,200

The mascarpone tiramisu!! Interestingly, it's built with stacked bread layers topped with mascarpone cheese.

The mascarpone cream cheese is sweet! Eating it with the coffee-soaked bread was delicious.

They told us to stir the strawberry latte well before drinking! The cup was so pretty and matched the drink perfectly.

My boyfriend was coming down with a bit of a cold so he ordered the hot chocolate latte. It was nice to sip, sweet and smooth with a lovely chocolate flavor.

This time I was craving something sweet in both drink and dessert form, so ordering the hot chocolate latte + strawberry latte + tiramisu combo made the table colorful and fun to look at. 🍫🍓🍰 Slowly sipping the warm hot chocolate latte alongside the tiramisu, then switching things up with a refreshing sip of strawberry latte in between, made it fun to enjoy all three together. If you're craving something sweet after a meal in Konkuk, or want a relaxed café day chatting with a friend, I'd recommend this place!

Final verdict on Café Ohkam 🤍

• ✔ Hot chocolate latte, great to enjoy warm
• ✔ Sweet and refreshing strawberry latte
• ✔ Soft, smooth tiramisu
• ✔ A good lineup for enjoying drinks and dessert together
• ✔ A solid choice when looking for a dessert café in Konkuk

Personally, the combo of hot chocolate latte and tiramisu worked especially well together. Pairing the warm, sweet hot chocolate latte with the soft tiramisu was a nice mood-lifter, and adding the strawberry latte brought in a refreshing note too, so I got to enjoy a variety of flavors during my café time. 🤍 If you're ever craving sweet drinks and dessert in Konkuk, it might be nice to take it easy at Café Ohkam. 🍓✨
