I found it by chance while strolling through the park! There was a bit of a wait, but my expectations were already through the roof haha. Just walking past the storefront, the sweet smell was so strong I couldn't just walk by! It's clearly a popular spot — there were so many people. ## Notldun's location and hours: 8 minutes from Ttukseom Station It's just an 8-minute walk from Ttukseom Station! ![White exterior of Notldun in the Seoulsup2-gil alley](https://img.superchart.com/images/notldun-seongsu-mascaberry-chocolate-latte/notldun-seongsu-mascaberry-chocolate-latte-01-15sy8-900.webp) The white exterior is so pretty it stops you in your tracks ✨ - Address: 11 Seoulsup2-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, South Korea (1st floor) - Parking: not available (use nearby public parking lots) - Hours: 11:00 – 22:00 (closes 22:30 Fri/Sat/Sun) It's tucked between alleys, so there's a fun little treasure-hunt feel to finding it. ## White wood interior and the open pastry kitchen at Notldun ![White wood-toned interior of Notldun](https://img.superchart.com/images/notldun-seongsu-mascaberry-chocolate-latte/notldun-seongsu-mascaberry-chocolate-latte-02-wfn7r-900.webp) ![Café seating with sunlight streaming through floor-to-ceiling windows](https://img.superchart.com/images/notldun-seongsu-mascaberry-chocolate-latte/notldun-seongsu-mascaberry-chocolate-latte-03-14o9j-900.webp) ![Compact and cozy interior view of Notldun](https://img.superchart.com/images/notldun-seongsu-mascaberry-chocolate-latte/notldun-seongsu-mascaberry-chocolate-latte-04-1eavl-900.webp) The white wood-toned interior is compact but cozy. Sunlight pouring in through the floor-to-ceiling windows makes it a perfect date spot! ![Open pastry kitchen and workspace inside](https://img.superchart.com/images/notldun-seongsu-mascaberry-chocolate-latte/notldun-seongsu-mascaberry-chocolate-latte-05-17xi4-900.webp) Inside there's an open pastry kitchen where you can watch the pastry chefs at work 🥹 It feels hygienic and trustworthy. ## How long is the wait at Notldun, and how do you order? ![Entrance of Notldun with waiting customers](https://img.superchart.com/images/notldun-seongsu-mascaberry-chocolate-latte/notldun-seongsu-mascaberry-chocolate-latte-06-1dsbt-900.webp) As a popular dessert spot, a wait is basically a given. I'd especially recommend arriving a bit early on weekends or during peak hours. There can be a line since it's so popular, but the wait is completely worth it for how good the desserts taste. ![Table set with dessert and drink served by staff](https://img.superchart.com/images/notldun-seongsu-mascaberry-chocolate-latte/notldun-seongsu-mascaberry-chocolate-latte-07-1sore-900.webp) Staff bring everything to your table themselves, so you just sit back and wait 🤍 It feels way more like being taken care of than ordering through a table-order screen or kiosk haha. Great place to look around while you wait for your name to be called. ## What's in the showcase: cakes, baked goods and prices The showcase is packed with high-end boutique cakes and baked goods! ![Showcase displaying slice cakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/notldun-seongsu-mascaberry-chocolate-latte/notldun-seongsu-mascaberry-chocolate-latte-08-napw2-900.webp) ![Lineup of cakes in the Notldun showcase](https://img.superchart.com/images/notldun-seongsu-mascaberry-chocolate-latte/notldun-seongsu-mascaberry-chocolate-latte-09-b8k19-900.webp) ![Display case of baked goods](https://img.superchart.com/images/notldun-seongsu-mascaberry-chocolate-latte/notldun-seongsu-mascaberry-chocolate-latte-10-1ezk5-900.webp) ![Boutique display filled with a variety of desserts](https://img.superchart.com/images/notldun-seongsu-mascaberry-chocolate-latte/notldun-seongsu-mascaberry-chocolate-latte-11-ecmge-900.webp) Prices are also great, around ₩10,000s — hotel-quality desserts you can enjoy without breaking the bank ✨ ![Notldun desserts lined up by type](https://img.superchart.com/images/notldun-seongsu-mascaberry-chocolate-latte/notldun-seongsu-mascaberry-chocolate-latte-12-1x40k-900.webp) There's such a wide variety, choosing is half the fun. ## How does Notldun's mascaberry cake taste? The mascaberry cake's look is insane 🩷 an explosion of fresh berry fragrance 🍓 ![Mascaberry slice cake topped with berries](https://img.superchart.com/images/notldun-seongsu-mascaberry-chocolate-latte/notldun-seongsu-mascaberry-chocolate-latte-13-42lc2-900.webp) It melts in your mouth. The harmony of the soft cream and mousse is pure art 🥹 ![Fork cutting into the mascaberry cream and mousse](https://img.superchart.com/images/notldun-seongsu-mascaberry-chocolate-latte/notldun-seongsu-mascaberry-chocolate-latte-14-1kaco-900.webp) The kind of taste that makes you gasp on the first bite! Sweet and tangy charm overflowing. It's not just pretty to look at — you can really taste the deep flavor of the ingredients themselves, which honestly amazed me. One bite and all my accumulated fatigue and stress just melted away. It's the kind of universally likable yet refined flavor that anyone, young or old, would love — which made me like it even more. ## Valrhona Guanaja chocolate latte at Notldun ![Valrhona Guanaja chocolate latte served in a glass](https://img.superchart.com/images/notldun-seongsu-mascaberry-chocolate-latte/notldun-seongsu-mascaberry-chocolate-latte-15-x6k10-900.webp) The Valrhona Guanaja chocolate latte arrived. It has a rich, deep cacao flavor. ![Close-up of the deep cacao-colored chocolate latte](https://img.superchart.com/images/notldun-seongsu-mascaberry-chocolate-latte/notldun-seongsu-mascaberry-chocolate-latte-16-mzpjd-900.webp) Not too sweet, with a refined taste. Total sugar recharge haha. Goes down smoothly and it's seriously addictive 🤎 A must if you love chocolate! ## Why iced americano works with Notldun's desserts The sweet dessert and iced americano combo is absolutely perfect ☕️ ![Iced americano served alongside dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/notldun-seongsu-mascaberry-chocolate-latte/notldun-seongsu-mascaberry-chocolate-latte-17-13xg9-900.webp) The acidity isn't too strong and it's clean, which really brings out the dessert's flavor even more! ![Iced americano and cake table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/notldun-seongsu-mascaberry-chocolate-latte/notldun-seongsu-mascaberry-chocolate-latte-18-7sgcv-900.webp) It refreshes your palate perfectly, making for an amazing pairing. ![Table shot with cake and drink together](https://img.superchart.com/images/notldun-seongsu-mascaberry-chocolate-latte/notldun-seongsu-mascaberry-chocolate-latte-19-1fc34-900.webp) Both the taste and the visuals were flawless!!
