Also, the cup was so cute!! ![Midnight blend iced americano with crema on top](https://img.superchart.com/images/pict-roastery-mangwon-marco-polo-tea/pict-roastery-mangwon-marco-polo-tea-08-17wez-966.webp) ## What does the Marco Polo tea taste like? I picked Marco Polo because it's from a tea brand I really love. It's a tea with notes of black tea, tropical fruit, and flowers. All the teas here are delicious, so if you like tea, you should visit and try them! ![Cup of Marco Polo black tea](https://img.superchart.com/images/pict-roastery-mangwon-marco-polo-tea/pict-roastery-mangwon-marco-polo-tea-09-15o97-966.webp) ![Tea and dessert set on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/pict-roastery-mangwon-marco-polo-tea/pict-roastery-mangwon-marco-polo-tea-10-84zgv-966.webp) ## Pistachio tiramisu: how sweet is it? I was really looking forward to the tiramisu!! Mangwon-dong is known for good bread, and lately my boyfriend is completely obsessed with pistachio, so he's been going around to pistachio dessert spots — he said this one is the best. They really topped it with pistachio, and it wasn't an artificial pistachio flavor but tasted a lot like the real thing, so it was delicious. The sponge was also soaked through with coffee, moist and so tasty. I think this would be great for people who don't like overly sweet desserts! ![Cross-section of pistachio-topped tiramisu](https://img.superchart.com/images/pict-roastery-mangwon-marco-polo-tea/pict-roastery-mangwon-marco-polo-tea-11-1rp9e-966.webp) ![A spoonful scooped out of the pistachio tiramisu](https://img.superchart.com/images/pict-roastery-mangwon-marco-polo-tea/pict-roastery-mangwon-marco-polo-tea-12-yjb0d-966.webp) ![Café table set with dessert and drinks](https://img.superchart.com/images/pict-roastery-mangwon-marco-polo-tea/pict-roastery-mangwon-marco-polo-tea-13-1cb1z-966.webp) ## Basement seating and atmosphere at PICT Roastery Mangwon Branch Inside there were plenty of tables — 2-person tables, bar seats, and 4-person tables. It was calm with a nice atmosphere, good for chatting, and there were people with laptops or books working, too — it seemed like a nice spot for a date as well. ![Basement café interior with bar seats and a 4-person table](https://img.superchart.com/images/pict-roastery-mangwon-marco-polo-tea/pict-roastery-mangwon-marco-polo-tea-14-1i1cc-m-966.webp) Especially !!
