In short

Think Fruit is a seasonal-fruit soufflé dessert café in an alley by Exit 8 of Hongik University Station in Mapo, Seoul, open daily 11:00–22:00. On a weekday visit at 4pm with her mom, the writer found only two tables free, and the peach soufflé arrived about 5 minutes after ordering with three soufflé layers, whipped cream, Häagen-Dazs vanilla ice cream and both white and yellow peaches.

I heard there's a soufflé spot in Hongdae that uses seasonal fruit, so I went on a little date with my mom. It's Think Fruit, famous as one of Hongdae's best dessert cafés!

Think Fruit's entrance in an alley near Hongik University Station

We arrived after wandering through pretty alleys from Exit 8 of Hongik University Station. It kept coming up at the top when I searched for the best soufflé cafés in Seoul, so I went in with high expectations~~

Think Fruit's signature soufflé and the café interior

Peach soufflé pancake sign hanging outside the café

There's a sign for today's peach soufflé pancake out front. Even just from the photo, I already want that fluffy, soft soufflé with sweet peach 😁

Fig soufflé menu sign

Besides peach, there's fig too. Honestly, I spent about 5 minutes agonizing over which one to get, haha

With this many people on a weekday, waiting on weekends seems like a given.

Peaches and figs stored in the fridge

Peaches and figs are kept fresh in the fridge. Everything is cooked right when you order, so you can taste the freshness of the seasonal fruit right away — I think that's the best part 😊

Honest review: Think Fruit's peach soufflé

Peach soufflé arriving 5 minutes after ordering

After about 5 minutes of waiting, today's dish, the peach soufflé, arrived~~~

Three soufflé slices with whipped cream and Häagen-Dazs ice cream

The set comes with three soufflé slices, a huge amount of cream, Häagen-Dazs vanilla ice cream, and white peach and yellow peach.

Think Fruit's soufflé feels much lighter and softer than a regular pancake. The combo of sweet peach + light soufflé + soft whipped cream + ice cream is like eating a perfect three-way pairing all at once?? 🥰

Coffee ordered alongside the peach soufflé

Ordering coffee alongside made it taste even better. It was great to enjoy summer's seasonal peaches in an even more delicious way.

Why Think Fruit works as a Hongdae dessert date café

If you're looking for one of the best dessert cafés in Hongdae, or especially a great soufflé spot, just head straight to Think Fruit without a second thought 😁 They've got delicious soufflé ready to make summer's seasonal peaches and figs even more enjoyable.

Even visiting at 4pm on a weekday, only about 2 tables were left, so weekends probably require waiting almost for sure. Guys who are stressing over date course ideas could score a lot of points bringing someone here, haha

A great spot for dates and anniversaries, of course, but also for hanging out with friends or treating yourself to some solo healing. How about soufflé at Think Fruit this week?
