PICT Roastery Mangwon Branch is a Mangwon-dong dessert café with really good pastries! It's set inside a converted house, and the retro brick exterior was really striking :) Inside is actually a sleek white-and-wood look — hip but warm, a place you want to linger haha. ![Brick exterior of PICT Roastery in Mangwon-dong, converted from a house](https://img.superchart.com/images/pict-roastery-mangwon-window-seat-matcha-basque/pict-roastery-mangwon-window-seat-matcha-basque-01-f5ao6-900.webp) > PICT Roastery Mangwon Branch Hours Wed, Fri 11:00–19:00 (last order 18:30) Thu, Sat, Sun 11:00–21:00 (last order 20:30) Closed Mon, Tue PICT roasts and brews everything in-house. From roasting the green beans to extraction, the whole coffee process happens right at the shop, all focused on bringing out the coffee's true flavor! Not a huge café with a giant menu — a Mangwon-dong café that's genuinely serious about one good cup of coffee. ![Entrance of PICT Roastery Mangwon Branch roastery café](https://img.superchart.com/images/pict-roastery-mangwon-window-seat-matcha-basque/pict-roastery-mangwon-window-seat-matcha-basque-02-14b7f-900.webp) ## Inside PICT Roastery: a semi-basement with bright full-height windows Walk in and you see an interior wrapped in huge windows! ![Café interior wrapped in large windows](https://img.superchart.com/images/pict-roastery-mangwon-window-seat-matcha-basque/pict-roastery-mangwon-window-seat-matcha-basque-03-l6vwa-900.webp) It might technically be a semi-basement café, but the windows are so generous that the light keeps the whole ground-floor feel intact! No sense of being closed in — just bright, warm, and full of good atmosphere. ![Semi-basement café seating with plenty of natural light](https://img.superchart.com/images/pict-roastery-mangwon-window-seat-matcha-basque/pict-roastery-mangwon-window-seat-matcha-basque-04-2lzs5-900.webp) And the all-white tone with wood accents makes for a striking, sleek space :) ![White and wood-toned café interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/pict-roastery-mangwon-window-seat-matcha-basque/pict-roastery-mangwon-window-seat-matcha-basque-05-1jy6i-900.webp) ## Outlets at every window seat and a table height made for reading Window seats that are comfortable to settle into. Watching people pass by haha — a relaxed spot to enjoy a coffee. ![Window seat overlooking the alley](https://img.superchart.com/images/pict-roastery-mangwon-window-seat-matcha-basque/pict-roastery-mangwon-window-seat-matcha-basque-06-cxxuk-m-900.webp) Every window seat has an outlet, so they're great for working or focusing. ![Window work seat with an electrical outlet](https://img.superchart.com/images/pict-roastery-mangwon-window-seat-matcha-basque/pict-roastery-mangwon-window-seat-matcha-basque-07-112zd-900.webp) The chair height and table height matched perfectly, so it was comfortable to spend time there haha. Sometimes you run into cafés where the table is annoyingly lower than the chair, but PICT Roastery's setup is built just right for reading haha. ![Café chair and table with well-matched heights](https://img.superchart.com/images/pict-roastery-mangwon-window-seat-matcha-basque/pict-roastery-mangwon-window-seat-matcha-basque-08-9feym-900.webp) A place where you can taste quality in-house roasted coffee alongside their own signature desserts! ![In-house roasting bar area of the café](https://img.superchart.com/images/pict-roastery-mangwon-window-seat-matcha-basque/pict-roastery-mangwon-window-seat-matcha-basque-09-ht06a-900.webp) I also sat at a sunny window seat with great atmosphere haha. ![Sitting at a sunlit window seat](https://img.superchart.com/images/pict-roastery-mangwon-window-seat-matcha-basque/pict-roastery-mangwon-window-seat-matcha-basque-10-qzo4s-900.webp) ## What's on the menu at PICT Roastery Mangwon Branch? The menu board. Not a huge café with an overwhelming menu — a Mangwon-dong café focused on brewing quality coffee, with coffee, desserts, and three teas on offer. The wifi and password are written on it too. ![Menu board listing coffee, desserts, and tea](https://img.superchart.com/images/pict-roastery-mangwon-window-seat-matcha-basque/pict-roastery-mangwon-window-seat-matcha-basque-11-c0l0d-900.webp) ## Matcha Basque cheesecake and iced americano at PICT Roastery What I ordered was the matcha Basque cheesecake and an iced americano. The matcha Basque cheesecake's deep green color alone was gorgeous!! ![Deep green matcha Basque cheesecake](https://img.superchart.com/images/pict-roastery-mangwon-window-seat-matcha-basque/pict-roastery-mangwon-window-seat-matcha-basque-12-elh4k-900.webp) A Basque cheesecake with a standout creamy texture, plus a cool glass of iced americano. ![Matcha Basque cheesecake with iced americano](https://img.superchart.com/images/pict-roastery-mangwon-window-seat-matcha-basque/pict-roastery-mangwon-window-seat-matcha-basque-13-55imc-900.webp) The color of the cheesecake is so pretty. The cake, with its deep matcha color, had a dense, moist texture. ![Cross-section of the dense matcha cheesecake](https://img.superchart.com/images/pict-roastery-mangwon-window-seat-matcha-basque/pict-roastery-mangwon-window-seat-matcha-basque-14-dc5kd-900.webp) It looked so much like matcha ice cream that the texture was almost surprising haha. Dense and moist in a way that fills your mouth with happiness — a menu item I really want to recommend. ![A forkful of matcha Basque cheesecake](https://img.superchart.com/images/pict-roastery-mangwon-window-seat-matcha-basque/pict-roastery-mangwon-window-seat-matcha-basque-15-1r7d0-900.webp) Such a delicious matcha aroma, a cake packed with matcha flavor. One bite of this cake and you get a genuine little rush of happiness haha. The coffee was so good too — pairing the americano with the cake made for a truly healing spot! ![Matcha Basque cheesecake and coffee at a window table](https://img.superchart.com/images/pict-roastery-mangwon-window-seat-matcha-basque/pict-roastery-mangwon-window-seat-matcha-basque-16-1i9lu-1200.webp) ## Next visit to PICT Roastery: the French toast The cake actually wasn't too sweet, so it was easy to eat without getting sick of it — not too sweet meant it felt light rather than heavy haha. When picking a dessert I'd gone back and forth between the matcha Basque cheesecake and the French toast, but the cheesecake was so good it made me even more curious about the French toast!! Next time I want to come back for the French toast haha. If you're looking for a Mangwon-dong café that serves great desserts, this is one I'd recommend — a place I want to visit again!! ## Where it is - PICT Roastery Mangwon Branch (픽트로스터리 망원점) - 45 World Cup-ro 23-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, 1F, South Korea - 서울특별시 마포구 월드컵로23길 45 1층 - 37.5558894, 126.9072652 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%94%BD%ED%8A%B8%EB%A1%9C%EC%8A%A4%ED%84%B0%EB%A6%AC%20%EB%A7%9D%EC%9B%90%EC%A0%90/@37.5558894,126.9072652,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@coffee-in-sentences/pict-roastery-mangwon-window-seat-matcha-basque/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
