## In short

Think Fruit is a seasonal fruit dessert café in Mapo, Seoul, a 5-minute walk from Hongdae Station. Visited after a full dinner, the fig soufflé cost ₩20,000 and paired with caffeine-free hibiscus berry and strawberry mint teas, and the fluffy soufflé with light whipped cream went down easily despite an already full stomach. If figs are your thing, this is worth timing your visit to the season for.

While looking for a good dessert café near Hongdae Station, I ended up at Think Fruit, known for its soufflés made with seasonal fruit.

I really love figs, and when I saw that Think Fruit had just launched a fig soufflé 🍰, I couldn't pass it up.

In summer it's peaches, and heading into fall it's figs — they build their soufflés and parfaits around whatever fruit is in season, which makes it a good spot when you want something a bit special in Hongdae.

It's also within walking distance of Hongdae Station, so it seemed like a solid option for a date course or a café stop with friends.

Even though I'd already eaten a full dinner, I ended up finishing the whole soufflé — here's the detailed review. 🍑

## Think Fruit's location and hours

- 📍Address: 14-12 Wausan-ro 29-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea (1F)
- ⏰Hours: Daily 11:00–22:00 (last order 21:00)
- 🚶Accessibility: About 5 minutes on foot from Hongik University Station

It wasn't a difficult walk from Hongdae Station.

I walked over slowly along Gyeongui Line Forest Park after dinner, and stepping slightly away from the bustling main street of Yeonnam-dong made everything feel much more relaxed.

It's tucked in the Seogyo-dong alleys near Hongik University, so you still get that lively Hongdae energy, just a bit quieter and cozier.

## Clean, cozy café interior 🤍

The space is decorated neatly, mostly in white tones.

One whole wall is a floor-to-ceiling window, so it never feels cramped. I visited in the evening after it had already gotten dark, but on a sunny afternoon the view and natural light coming through would probably make it even prettier.

![Window-facing seats and a central table](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-fig-souffle-caffeine-free-tea/hongdae-fig-souffle-caffeine-free-tea-07-4h77n-900.webp)

The window-facing seats line the edges, with more tables set up in the middle.

Plenty of tables are sized for 2–3 people, so it looked like a good spot for catching up with a friend or a dessert date.

And right at the entrance, a sign caught my eye — an official Häagen-Dazs stockist!

I'm a fan of Häagen-Dazs myself, so that raised my expectations for the desserts even more. 😆

## Soufflés and parfaits built around seasonal fruit 🍑

Think Fruit isn't really about typical café menus — the focus is desserts made with seasonal fruit.

When I visited, both the summer's signature peach ✨️ and the incoming fall fig menu ✨️ were available together.

### 🍽 Signature menu

- Peach soufflé ₩22,000
- Fig soufflé ₩20,000

- Fig parfait ₩19,800
- Salted cream milk tea ₩7,500
- Strawberry latte ₩8,000

Looking into the fridge in the store, I could see fresh figs and peaches being ripened.

Seeing the actual fruit like that really drove home that this place specializes in fruit desserts.

What I found interesting is that the fruit changes with the season.

This time I had figs, but next time a new seasonal fruit menu comes around, I'd love to time my visit to try it too.

## What we ordered after dinner

I came straight here after dinner, so I was pretty full already.

At first I wasn't sure I could handle dessert, but it felt like a waste to come all the way to Think Fruit and not try the soufflé, so I ordered anyway.

- Fig soufflé ₩20,000
- Iced hibiscus berry ₩7,000
- Iced strawberry mint ₩7,000

## Refreshing and clean: hibiscus berry & strawberry mint

![Iced tea setup with a teapot and ice cup](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-fig-souffle-caffeine-free-tea/hongdae-fig-souffle-caffeine-free-tea-15-1u974-900.webp)

![Drinks and dessert served together at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-fig-souffle-caffeine-free-tea/hongdae-fig-souffle-caffeine-free-tea-16-1fewp-900.webp)

The drinks came out together with the dessert — the teas each arrived in a teapot with hot water.

I let them steep for a bit, then poured them over ice for a cold drink.

The hibiscus berry was really refreshing.

It's a herbal blend of hibiscus, orange, and strawberry, with an overall bright, clean feel.

And best of all, it's caffeine-free, so there was no worry about drinking it with dessert in the evening.

My mouth felt a bit heavy after dinner, but one sip of the tangy hibiscus berry cleared everything right up.

![An iced strawberry mint tea enjoyed cold](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-fig-souffle-caffeine-free-tea/hongdae-fig-souffle-caffeine-free-tea-19-99vs5-900.webp)

Strawberry mint was also caffeine-free, and true to its name, it was even cooler and more refreshing.

A subtle strawberry flavor passed through first, followed by a cool mint finish that left my mouth feeling really clean.

Since the soufflé itself is a sweet dessert, I felt these cool teas paired with it especially well.

## Fig soufflé, piled high with fruit 🍰

And the fig soufflé I'd been looking forward to most — it was gorgeous just to look at.

![Three soufflé mounds topped with whipped cream and figs](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-fig-souffle-caffeine-free-tea/hongdae-fig-souffle-caffeine-free-tea-20-1rsmh-900.webp)

Three fluffy mounds of soufflé were topped generously with house-made whipped cream, surrounded by plenty of seasonal figs.

![Fig soufflé topped with a scoop of Häagen-Dazs vanilla ice cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-fig-souffle-caffeine-free-tea/hongdae-fig-souffle-caffeine-free-tea-21-3yqpn-900.webp)

On top of that was a scoop of Häagen-Dazs vanilla ice cream, making it clear this was a genuinely sweet dessert just from the look of it.

Cutting into the soufflé, it was so soft — light enough that a light press from the fork sank right in.

One bite and it nearly melted away in my mouth. The softness of the soufflé itself was great, but I especially loved the whipped cream.

It wasn't overly sweet or heavy — it was light with a distinct milky flavor, so it didn't stack up too much sweetness when eaten with the soufflé.

![A cross-section of the fluffy soufflé cut with a fork](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-fig-souffle-caffeine-free-tea/hongdae-fig-souffle-caffeine-free-tea-22-11h70-900.webp)

Adding in the figs I love so much made it even better.

The soft texture of well-ripened figs and their gentle sweetness went really well with the soft soufflé.

And every so often adding a bite of the Häagen-Dazs vanilla ice cream gave it another dimension — the rich, sweet vanilla flavor layered on top of the light soufflé and cream made it feel like a proper, satisfying dessert. 🍨

![A bite combining fig and ice cream together](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-fig-souffle-caffeine-free-tea/hongdae-fig-souffle-caffeine-free-tea-23-inxve-900.webp)

What surprised me most was that I kept eating even though I was already full from dinner. The soufflé was so light and fluffy that it didn't feel heavy at all.

If you love figs, this menu is likely to be a real hit.

Personally, I think this might be one of the best ways I've had figs served in a dessert so far.

## 🌿 Looking for something special in Hongdae?

Think Fruit is a great fit when you want dessert built properly around seasonal fruit rather than a typical café dessert.

It's walkable from Hongdae Station yet set slightly apart from the busy main street, which made for a relatively relaxed atmosphere.

Since the fruit used changes with the season, you can try a different menu each time you visit, even at the same café.

The soufflé is baked fresh to order, which makes it that much more satisfying — the figs, the house-made whipped cream, and the Häagen-Dazs ice cream all came together really well. I'd recommend it as a dessert course for a date while chatting away.

If you're looking for a nice-atmosphere café near Hongdae Station, or want something a bit more special than plain coffee, this is a place worth checking out.

Especially if you love figs — try the fig soufflé while it's in season. I really enjoyed mine. 🤍
