This visit was takeout only, with three slice cakes — shine muscat, peach yogurt, and lemon lavender — each priced at 10,500 won. Since seasonal menus rotate often here, it's best not to put off a cake you're curious about. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–24:00 (last order 23:30) - **Address**: 9-17 Hangang-daero 15-gil, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, South Korea (2F café, 3F lounge terrace, 4F rooftop) - **Transit**: 525m from Yongsan Station Exit 1, about 8 minutes on foot - **Slice cake price**: 10,500 won per slice (shine muscat and peach yogurt the same) - **Takeout**: Available — all three slice cakes were packed to go on this visit - **Landmark**: Across from LG Uplus and HYBE headquarters *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* ![용산역 근처 하이브 플레이그라운드 카페 외관](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout-01-1mxxw-900.webp) I stopped by while looking for a café near Yongsan Station with decent cake. This time I didn't sit down at all — just ordered three slice cakes to take out. ![조각 케이크 세 가지 포장 주문](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout-02-vbgwi-900.webp) The size of the place and how the floors are laid out is pretty unusual, so I made a mental note to come back and actually sit for a while next time. ## What kind of place is it — 2nd-floor café, 3rd-floor lounge terrace, 4th-floor rooftop It's a large café that takes up an entire building. Just from the address listed on Naver Maps, you can see the floors each have their own character: café on the 2nd floor, lounge terrace on the 3rd, rooftop on the 4th. So if you only check out one floor, you've really only seen half the café. ![Interior of the large café with different floors](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout-03-zvl4p-900.webp) The space is spacious and nicely decorated, the kind of vibe where you end up staying a while instead of just drinking your coffee and leaving. ![Spacious, well-decorated café seating area](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout-04-1cbch-900.webp) It's located near Exit 1 of Yongsan Station, right across from LG Uplus and HYBE headquarters, so it's not hard to find. ![Café entrance near Yongsan Station Exit 1](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout-05-131wk-900.webp) It's open daily from 11:00 to 24:00, so it's a good spot to drop by in the evening without feeling rushed. ![Evening atmosphere at the café, open until midnight daily](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout-06-1qwgx-900.webp) Last order is at 23:30 and the hours don't change by day of the week, so it's easy to plan around even if you're out late on a weekend. It's rare for a café this size to stay open until midnight. ![Café interior lighting and decor](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout-07-hcwp3-900.webp) ![Vertical shot of the café space](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout-08-17n2b-900.webp) ## How much is the cake Slice cakes are 10,500 won each. ![Slice cake display case](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout-09-inkq1-900.webp) ![Slice cake priced at 10,500 won](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout-10-mbkgc-900.webp) The shine muscat cake and the peach yogurt cake I ordered this time were both 10,500 won. ![Shine muscat cake and peach yogurt cake](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout-11-dtgmm-900.webp) ![Seasonal slice cake lineup](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout-12-1bilc-900.webp) ![Packed slice cake set](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout-13-fwgf8-900.webp) ![Plate showing the cross-section of the cake](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout-14-9f3tj-900.webp) The lineup looks like it changes with the seasons. Menus with seasonal fruit can disappear once that season ends, so if there's something you want, don't put it off. ![Cake menu that changes with the seasons](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout-15-1q6j2-900.webp) ## Three slice cakes for two, in the order I picked them I packed all three slices to go at once. Here they are in the order I chose them. ![Three slice cakes packed to go](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout-16-1pzey-900.webp) ### Shine muscat cake First up was the shine muscat cake, which was listed as a new menu item. ![New menu item, the shine muscat cake](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout-17-mrz3a-900.webp) According to the menu description, it's yogurt cream with shine muscat grapes mixed in. ![Yogurt cream cake with shine muscat grapes](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout-18-g70s4-900.webp) It's 10,500 won per slice, and since the fruit is visible right in the cross-section, it was the most photogenic of the three. ![Cross-section of the shine muscat cake showing fruit](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout-19-6t394-900.webp) Since it's marked as new, it probably isn't a permanent menu item, so I thought if I didn't buy it now it might be gone next time — that's why I picked it first. ![Full view of the shine muscat cake](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout-20-1ftyt-900.webp) ### Peach yogurt cake ![2026 summer season peach yogurt cake](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout-21-mx5xy-900.webp) Second was the peach yogurt cake. The menu description lists it as a 2026 summer season item, and says the stewed peaches used in it are prepared fresh early that same morning. ![Yogurt cake topped with stewed peaches](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout-22-66ezs-900.webp) It's the same price as the shine muscat, 10,500 won. It had the most orders on Naver out of the three, so I was curious what it tasted like and picked it up. ![Cross-section of the summer peach cake](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout-23-1heq4-900.webp) Since it uses peaches, there's a chance it'll be discontinued once summer ends. ![HYBE Playground slice cakes and café atmosphere](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout/yongsan-cake-cafe-three-slices-takeout-24-m334s-1200.webp) ### Lemon lavender cake Last was the lemon lavender cake. The first two both combine fruit with yogurt cream, so they overlap a bit, but this one goes citrus with herbal notes, giving it a clearly different profile. If you're buying three slices at once, splitting them across different flavor families like this keeps you from getting sick of it halfway through. ## How to get there It's 525 meters from Exit 1 of Yongsan Station, about an 8-minute walk. It's directly across from LG Uplus and HYBE headquarters, so if you use those big buildings as a landmark you won't get lost. It's also a convenient route if you're heading back toward Yongsan Station with your cake in hand. ## Frequently asked questions ### What are the opening hours It opens at 11:00 and closes at 24:00 every day, no difference by day of the week.
