Biat Seongsu Location and Hours

It’s on the second floor at 24-45 Achasan-ro 5-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul.

Hours are 12:00–22:00 Monday through Saturday, with last orders at 21:30; Sunday hours are 12:00–19:00, with last orders at 18:30.

Moody Corners and Sun-Filled Seats

Take the stairs beside the metal door rather than the door itself to reach the second floor, and this seriously pretty, good-vibes café appears ,, 🙊✨✨

The place itself is spacious and stylishly decorated everywhere, so it was fun just looking around. To the right of the entrance is this slightly dim, good-vibes mood like in the photos above—personally, exactly the atmosphere I totally love for a date .. 🖤

The other side feels bright and airy, with warm sunlight pouring in, so it had a completely different vibe from the left side. There are outdoor terrace seats too, and I loved having so many spaces to choose from depending on your taste ෆ

From Fig Croffle to Malenka

Shall we take a look through the menu now? ✨✨ There are seriously so many desserts, from ice cream croffles to fig Greek croffles, plain croffles, tiramisu affogato, and pistachio walnut Malenka ,, 🤍 There are lots of drinks too, and this was my first time seeing a place that sells iced peach lattes .. 🍑🙊

Ta-da, the dessert case! How could you possibly not order after seeing this ,, It’s not common to find Malenka, and pistachio walnut Malenka at that?!? Had to order it, obviously. And it’s fig season these days, you know~~ so we added a fig Greek croffle too!! For drinks, we ordered two iced Americanos ෆ

Also, if you leave a Naver receipt photo review, you can get a dessert for free .. such a great deal!!

These are the coffee bean options, plus even cute little figurines haha. You could really feel the care in every corner 🫶🏻

Our Desserts and Iced Americanos

Ta-da ✨✨🤎 Iced Americanos (4.5), fig Greek croffle (15.0), and pistachio walnut Malenka (8.0). The presentation is so luminous and pretty, right? 🥹

They were honestly so pretty I almost didn’t want to eat them, so I started a full-on food photo party in the natural light .. The visuals are next level, seriously ,, 🤍🤍

Fig Greek Croffle Taste

The fig Greek croffle comes with two thick waffles, layered with Greek-yogurt whipped cream. But the highlight is definitely the generous topping of fresh figs ,, 🤤🤤

And because it’s Greek-yogurt whipped cream rather than regular whipped cream, it isn’t heavy at all—refreshingly sweet, so you just keep going back for more ,, The waffles were deliciously crisp, and the figs were insanely sweet too ㅠㅠ 💗

Pistachio Walnut Malenka Taste

Next up was the pistachio walnut Malenka! It’s a honey cake with pistachio spread and walnuts ෆ

That cross-section is crazy .. (P)

The nutty, dense pistachio spread and the crunchy, fragrant walnuts were already an impossible-to-fail combo, and the layers upon layers of honey made it absolutely perfect ,, I properly refueled on sugar with iced Americanos .. so happy ˚ෆ*₊

I highly recommend Biat Seongsu to anyone looking for a spacious, good-vibes café in Seongsu-dong, anyone who loves the currently hot fig desserts, or anyone into pistachio, Malenka, and honey cake 🤍
