Soft-opening Nahyeseok Street café, Suwon: choco strawberry cake, Diaz

What is Diaz Cake Boutique?

Diaz Cake Boutique is a new cake café that soft-opened on the 2nd floor of the same building as Café Diaz Ingye, already famous in Ingye-dong, Suwon. You've all heard of Café Diaz Ingye at least once, right? 😊 When I heard Diaz Cake Boutique had soft-opened on the 2nd floor, my husband and I went straight over after lunch!

Location and parking of Diaz Cake Boutique

Diaz Cake Boutique is on the 2nd floor of a building across from Dongsuwon CGV, at the start of Nahyeseok Street in Ingye-dong, close to Suwon City Hall Station. There is no parking. Being across from Dongsuwon CGV, it's not hard to find 👍 Café Diaz, where I usually go, is on the 4th floor, but the Cake Boutique on the 2nd floor felt quieter and calmer✨

🅿️ No parking ❌ The dessert showcase had all kinds of cakes neatly lined up, so choosing was fun, and the whole place felt tidy, which made for a lovely first impression 😊

What is the atmosphere like during the soft opening?

During the soft opening, Diaz Cake Boutique wasn't crowded, and sunlight poured in through the big windows, so it felt calm and relaxed. I loved it 💛 It's the kind of space that makes you feel good just sitting there…☀️ It was definitely more private than Café Diaz upstairs, with a strong tea-house feel!

Ordering a choco strawberry cake, iced Americano and hot grapefruit tea

Maybe because it's a cake boutique, there were lots of tea set options too!!! This is what we ordered!

• 🍓 Choco strawberry cake
• ☕ Iced Americano
• 🍊 Hot grapefruit tea

We only meant to drop in for a quick bite, but the space was so comfortable that we stayed much longer than planned 😊 The cake quality was great and the mood was quiet, so I thought it would be nice to come back for a date! Once the soft opening ends and it officially opens, I think it'll get even more popular🍰

How was the choco strawberry cake?

The choco strawberry cake at Diaz Cake Boutique had fresh strawberries and soft animal-based whipped cream, so even though it's chocolate, it wasn't too sweet. Typical Diaz, it passes on looks alone…✨ The cream was so soft that with the first bite I went, "Ahh, of course 😭" haha. You can taste the clean flavor that's special to animal whipped cream, so you keep reaching for another forkful🍰 And chocolate and strawberry, what can I even say… it's a foolproof combo, and my husband ate it up too🤣

Iced Americano and hot grapefruit tea

The iced Americano at Diaz Cake Boutique wasn't overly acidic and tasted clean, so it went well with dessert. The hot grapefruit tea was refreshing with a gentle sweetness, just right for sipping between bites of cake🍊

Who would enjoy Diaz Cake Boutique?

Diaz Cake Boutique felt less like an ordinary café and more like a space for enjoying dessert quietly. I totally recommend it to anyone looking for that feeling 💛

• ✔️ Not noisy, so it's good for conversation
• ✔️ Suits dates and anniversaries
• ✔️ The kind of atmosphere that's perfect for afternoon tea

In particular, if the original Café Diaz feels crowded and bustling, the 2nd-floor Diaz Cake Boutique is much calmer, and I personally liked it even more✨

If you're looking for a great cake café in Suwon, I really recommend Diaz Cake Boutique, a place that satisfies both as a café near Suwon City Hall Station and as a Suwon dessert spot🍰 It's a soft opening, so right now is a more relaxed time to enjoy it. If you like quiet atmospheres, I totally recommend visiting now! 😊
