Stepping inside, it felt so much like New York that I couldn't help but be impressed.

It's not the usual generic feel at all — this place has its own hip, distinctive atmosphere that stayed charming the whole time I was there.

The Hongrad brownie, with its cute texture I'd seen so often in pretty photos on Instagram, is the signature menu item here.

This is also a place famous for other desserts, including the sweet ex-boyfriend toast and crispy croffle.

Here's a visit tip: if you leave a receipt review, you can get a cute cat or dog pin badge.

Waiting for our food while browsing all the colorful decor around the store, time flew by without me even noticing.

Behind the chic surface, there's a cute, charming side too, which made the place feel even more special.

What to order on a weekday evening at Hongrad

Since it was a weekday evening before work the next day, we went with something light — a decaf americano, a coconut latte, and a Basque cheesecake.

As soon as the drinks arrived at the table, I was surprised by how generous the portions were. Not a tiny sip-sized amount at all — great for taking your time.

Basque cheesecake, 7.5

I happily agonized for a while between the brownie and the Basque cheesecake, and finally went with the cheesecake.

Scooping a soft forkful and taking a bite, it was truly dense and melted in my mouth — a perfectly textured Basque cheesecake.

It's just as good as places that specialize in this dessert and really nails the basics, so I kept reaching for my fork again and again.

That dense yet creamy texture paired perfectly with the coffee — I'd call this a certified dessert spot.

Decaf americano, 5.5

I liked that I could go with a decaf americano and drink it without any worry, even that late on a weekday evening. Even though it's decaf beans, I was genuinely surprised at how rich and flavorful it was — every bit as good as regular coffee.

Not just the desserts but the coffee itself is so good at Hongrad, so I'll definitely keep coming back as a regular.

Coconut latte, 6.5

The cool coconut latte we also ordered looked so sweet and delicious from the moment it arrived, and I had high expectations.

It tasted like a rich, sweet coconut coffee smoothie — cool and hearty, filling my mouth in the best way.

The sweet, fragrant coconut and the coffee's bitterness balanced perfectly, so it never got sickly — genuinely delicious. It's honestly in my top 3 coconut lattes I've ever had at any café.
