After a stop at Shinsegae Gangnam, the visit took in an iced americano, Basque cheesecake and a white chocolate Earl Grey madeleine, with every seat taken at lunchtime.

Such a perfect Chuseok gift! ~ ❤️🎀 Besides financiers and madeleines, there were freshly baked baguettes and egg tarts too. ![Freshly baked baguettes on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemon-dore-seorae-dessert-cafe-visit/lemon-dore-seorae-dessert-cafe-visit-11-1m0ob-900.webp) ![Egg tarts sitting in the showcase](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemon-dore-seorae-dessert-cafe-visit/lemon-dore-seorae-dessert-cafe-visit-12-2c9hy-900.webp) ![Bakery display case with various baked pastries](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemon-dore-seorae-dessert-cafe-visit/lemon-dore-seorae-dessert-cafe-visit-13-c2tby-900.webp) With so many dessert options, it's great for gifting and also great for a quick sugar boost! ![Desserts arranged nicely, good for gifting](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemon-dore-seorae-dessert-cafe-visit/lemon-dore-seorae-dessert-cafe-visit-14-rnsat-900.webp) ![Full view of Remangdore's dessert showcase](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemon-dore-seorae-dessert-cafe-visit/lemon-dore-seorae-dessert-cafe-visit-15-16jso-900.webp) I hadn't planned on ordering cheesecake, but the moment I saw the showcase I ordered ••💛 ![Basque cheesecake sitting in the showcase](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemon-dore-seorae-dessert-cafe-visit/lemon-dore-seorae-dessert-cafe-visit-16-1koou-900.webp) ## How the Basque cheesecake and white chocolate Earl Grey madeleine taste Remangdore's Basque cheesecake is super moist and dense — the first bite made it clear it was a perfect match for coffee ~ 🤎🤎 While I was ordering and looking around, my order came out right away - ![Iced americano, Basque cheesecake, and madeleine set on a table](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemon-dore-seorae-dessert-cafe-visit/lemon-dore-seorae-dessert-cafe-visit-17-txwe6-1200.webp) Iced americano / Basque cheesecake / white chocolate Earl Grey madeleine ![A moist, dense slice of Basque cheesecake](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemon-dore-seorae-dessert-cafe-visit/lemon-dore-seorae-dessert-cafe-visit-18-hgwyt-900.webp) ![A cross-section of Basque cheesecake cut with a fork](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemon-dore-seorae-dessert-cafe-visit/lemon-dore-seorae-dessert-cafe-visit-19-1au1f-900.webp) The taste, aroma, and looks were all so pretty — mouth, nose, and eyes were all happy ♥ ![Desserts and iced americano on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemon-dore-seorae-dessert-cafe-visit/lemon-dore-seorae-dessert-cafe-visit-20-stwwv-900.webp) The coffee was rich and nutty with almost no acidity, and it was so good. Sometimes when desserts are sweet but the coffee has strong acidity I don't feel like coming back, but at Remangdore both the coffee and the desserts really suited my taste. While I ate, there were tons of takeout and delivery customers too. ![A cup of rich iced americano](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemon-dore-seorae-dessert-cafe-visit/lemon-dore-seorae-dessert-cafe-visit-21-x66pz-900.webp) ![White chocolate coated Earl Grey madeleine](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemon-dore-seorae-dessert-cafe-visit/lemon-dore-seorae-dessert-cafe-visit-22-mm981-900.webp) The white chocolate Earl Grey madeleine was full of black tea aroma, and the sweet white chocolate coating went so well with coffee. There were lots of atmospheric corners for photos, and it seemed good both as a meeting spot and as a place to stop by alone for coffee. ![A photogenic corner of the café](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemon-dore-seorae-dessert-cafe-visit/lemon-dore-seorae-dessert-cafe-visit-23-1b36o-900.webp) ![Self-service bar with water, napkins, and cup holders](https://img.superchart.com/images/lemon-dore-seorae-dessert-cafe-visit/lemon-dore-seorae-dessert-cafe-visit-24-1ju2n-900.webp) ## Self-service bar and service at Remangdore Remangdore Seorae Village Branch has a spot to drink water plus napkins and cup holders ready to grab yourself if you need them.
