## What I ordered at Lemangdoré Gwanghwamun

- Chausson aux pommes ₩6,300
- Cappuccino ₩6,300
- Noorwegian Forest ₩8,500

![Table setup with chausson aux pommes, cappuccino, and Noorwegian Forest](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemondore-gwanghwamun-chausson-aux-pommes-norwegian-wood/lemondore-gwanghwamun-chausson-aux-pommes-norwegian-wood-20-1s7tm-900.webp)

Such a pretty arrival~

### Norwegian Forest, the matcha strawberry latte (8,500 won)

![Cup of matcha strawberry latte Noorwegian Forest](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemondore-gwanghwamun-chausson-aux-pommes-norwegian-wood/lemondore-gwanghwamun-chausson-aux-pommes-norwegian-wood-21-1jry3-900.webp)

This matcha strawberry latte is apparently inspired by "Norwegian Wood," the novel by Haruki Murakami that's beloved among Koreans. The red layer at the bottom is the strawberry~

![Cross-section of matcha latte with strawberry syrup layer](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemondore-gwanghwamun-chausson-aux-pommes-norwegian-wood/lemondore-gwanghwamun-chausson-aux-pommes-norwegian-wood-22-1xcuj-900.webp)

You stir it well before drinking — it's a distinctive matcha latte where the matcha's bitterness meets the sweetness of the strawberry syrup.

### Cappuccino (6,300 won)

![Cappuccino with rich milk foam](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemondore-gwanghwamun-chausson-aux-pommes-norwegian-wood/lemondore-gwanghwamun-chausson-aux-pommes-norwegian-wood-23-crpu4-900.webp)

A nutty cappuccino with rich milk foam, smooth milk, and deep coffee flavor rising through it. (You can also ask for no cinnamon powder on top.)

### Chausson aux pommes, the layered apple pastry (6,300 won)

The chausson aux pommes (apple pie) has the gentle, natural sweetness of apple and a rich caramel aroma.

![Cross-section of flaky chausson aux pommes](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemondore-gwanghwamun-chausson-aux-pommes-norwegian-wood/lemondore-gwanghwamun-chausson-aux-pommes-norwegian-wood-24-yjyjy-900.webp)

Crisp, layered pastry with distinct flaky ridges, packed inside with sweet apple filling. Lemangdoré's chausson aux pommes has such a lovely gentle sweetness and nuttiness.

A clean café that's easy to visit since it's close to Seoul City Hall too. A friendly and delicious dessert spot in Gwanghwamun. It's also a great stop after a walk along Cheonggyecheon.
