Eojil In near Hanyang University: what kind of cake café is it?
Eojil In is a cake and dessert café near Hanyang University that occupies the 1st and 2nd floors of its building at 18 Majo-ro 9-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul. There are plenty of good-vibe cafés around Hanyang University, but Eojil In is the one people head to when they actually want to sit down and enjoy dessert properly. With its emotional interior, comfortable atmosphere, and homemade desserts, it's a popular spot that draws crowds even on weekdays.




How does the financier sold as a set taste?
This financier, sold as part of a set, is crisp on the outside and moist inside — such an appealing texture! One bite fills your mouth with nutty butter flavor and gentle sweetness, making it a great match for coffee. A well-baked financier balances the crisp edges with a soft, chewy center, and you just keep reaching for more. Thanks to the deep butter aroma, even a small piece feels rich and satisfying, making it perfect for a light snack or teatime dessert. Eaten with a warm Americano, the nutty flavor really comes alive — a menu item you'll want to try at least once when visiting the café.

What does the Basque cheesecake (bachike) at Eojil In taste like?
The menu item I was most looking forward to at Eojil In was the Basque cheesecake, aka bachike, along with the Matilda choco cake, known for its deep chocolate charm. Anyone who loves dessert would get curious just hearing the names, and tasting them for real, I understood why so many people recommend this combo.
The bachike had a deeply baked exterior with a nutty richness, while the inside was impressively soft and moist. It had a much stronger cheese flavor than a regular cheesecake, yet wasn't overwhelming, making it easy to enjoy with coffee. The creamy texture that melted in my mouth made every bite deeply satisfying.

In particular, Eojil In's bachike had a great balance of sweetness and nutty flavor, making it easy for anyone to enjoy. It wasn't too sweet, so it paired really well with the Americano. I'd recommend it to anyone who loves the pure flavor of cheese.

Matilda choco cake: is it worth it for chocolate lovers?
After the bachike, the Matilda choco cake I'd also ordered exceeded expectations too. True to its name, its rich, movie-worthy visual caught my eye. The moment I took a bite, deep, rich chocolate flavor spread throughout. With moist sponge layered with dense, fudgy chocolate cream stacked several times over, it's a dessert any chocolate lover would be satisfied with.


The Matilda cake was sweet but not excessive, and the cacao flavor really came through, tasting even better with coffee. In particular, the choco cake's characteristic heaviness and soft texture worked well together, making it satisfying enough as a dessert on its own.

Thanks to the quiet atmosphere, it's a space well-suited both for chatting with friends and for spending relaxed time alone.
