After dinner the writer ordered the shine muscat waffle (7,500 won), butter tteok, 3 pieces (6,500 won) and a decaf iced Americano (4,000 won), all crisp and buttery. The Sweetree is an easy stop when a late-night dessert craving hits. ## Good to know - **Address**: 38 Gangseo-ro 47ga-gil, Unit 102, 1st Floor, Gangseo-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Sat, Sun 10:00–01:00 (next day); Fri 10:00–24:00 - **Parking**: Available - **Seating**: Window seats and large shared tables - **What we ordered**: Shine muscat waffle 7,500 won / Butter tteok, 3 pieces 6,500 won / Decaf iced Americano 4,000 won *as written by the visitor on Sep 13, 2026* ![The Sweetree's shine muscat waffle dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-late-night-shinemuscat-waffle/balsan-late-night-shinemuscat-waffle-01-1cfeg-1200.webp) ## A Balsan Station dessert café open late into the night After a great meal, I'm the type who absolutely must have dessert, and I was craving waffles~ But most dessert cafés start wrapping up around 8pm.. so by the time dinner's done, it's basically last order time ㅠㅠ That's when I visited The Sweetree, which — get this — stays open until 1am. Waffles, butter tteok (뻑뻑한 절편 대신 버터에 구운 떡, a butter-fried rice cake), dukjjonkoo, salt bread, all sorts of baked treats!

It came in a pretty glass that almost looked like a beer mug, filled to the brim. Even as a decaf Americano, it had a nutty, low-acidity, full-bodied flavor that paired well with dessert~ ![A glass of decaf iced Americano](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-late-night-shinemuscat-waffle/balsan-late-night-shinemuscat-waffle-14-107s1-966.webp) The butter tteok looked textbook-perfect, which built up my expectations~ that golden, crispy exterior made me even more excited. ![Golden, crispy butter tteok](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-late-night-shinemuscat-waffle/balsan-late-night-shinemuscat-waffle-15-1nawi-966.webp) Crispy outside, soft and chewy inside — exactly the flavor you want from butter tteok. A perfectly textbook crispy-chewy texture I enjoyed a lot~ ![Waffle topped with shine muscat grapes and blueberries](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-late-night-shinemuscat-waffle/balsan-late-night-shinemuscat-waffle-16-1qjng-966.webp) ## Buttery, pastry-like layers in the shine muscat waffle And finally, the star of the show — the waffle~ Piled high with big shine muscat grapes and blueberries, dusted generously with powdered sugar~ Slicing it open~ ![Cross-section of the sliced shine muscat waffle](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-late-night-shinemuscat-waffle/balsan-late-night-shinemuscat-waffle-17-dzpct-966.webp) Rather than crispy, it had more of a pastry-like layered texture, with a dense, buttery waffle feel that was really appealing~ ![Waffle topped with whipped cream and fruit](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-late-night-shinemuscat-waffle/balsan-late-night-shinemuscat-waffle-18-ksmqx-966.webp) The rich buttery flavor from the Le Gall butter and the sweetness of the waffle itself were both intense in a good way. The whipped cream on top also had a strong, rich milk flavor, and the blueberries and shine muscat kept it from getting too rich or heavy — so it stayed delicious to the very last bite. I really enjoyed it~! With a friendly owner and hours that stretch late into the night, this was a Balsan Station dessert café I really appreciated. I also enjoyed the nutty decaf Americano without any late-night caffeine worries. With such a wide dessert lineup and late hours, it's a dessert café you can enjoy any time — whether by delivery or in the dining hall~! ## Where it is - The Sweetree (더스위트리) - 38 Gangseo-ro 47ga-gil, 1st Floor, Unit 102, Gangseo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 강서구 강서로47가길 38 1층 102호 - 37.5508825, 126.8355322 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8D%94%EC%8A%A4%EC%9C%84%ED%8A%B8%EB%A6%AC/@37.5508825,126.8355322,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@alley-stove-journal/balsan-late-night-shinemuscat-waffle/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
