Turns out they'd just changed the store name!!! The address matched so we just went in. ## Inside Lapins: white interior and the smell of fresh baking ![Interior of Lapins with white walls and wooden chairs](https://img.superchart.com/images/lapins-icheon-fig-earlgrey-tart-takeout/lapins-icheon-fig-earlgrey-tart-takeout-04-zt2yy-966.webp) ![Seating area at Lapins with soft lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/lapins-icheon-fig-earlgrey-tart-takeout/lapins-icheon-fig-earlgrey-tart-takeout-05-wht1c-966.webp) The inside of Lapins has white walls and wooden chairs, exactly my vibe. I love simple spaces haha. The lighting was soft too, great atmosphere for a chat, perfect spot for conversation. ![Interior space of Lapins café](https://img.superchart.com/images/lapins-icheon-fig-earlgrey-tart-takeout/lapins-icheon-fig-earlgrey-tart-takeout-06-bpqg4-966.webp) And it smelled like they were baking — the whole store had this rich, nutty smell. The second I walked in there was this financier?? smell and I loved it... ![Herb plant displayed at Lapins](https://img.superchart.com/images/lapins-icheon-fig-earlgrey-tart-takeout/lapins-icheon-fig-earlgrey-tart-takeout-07-1m84d-966.webp) There was even a stylish little plant! That looks like dill to me, and this is the first café I've seen growing dill. So cute! Now I want some dill butter... ![Indoor restroom at Lapins](https://img.superchart.com/images/lapins-icheon-fig-earlgrey-tart-takeout/lapins-icheon-fig-earlgrey-tart-takeout-08-1mqmo-966.webp) There's an indoor restroom too, and it was clean! (I really care about restroom cleanliness) ![Work area at Lapins where a cake is being decorated](https://img.superchart.com/images/lapins-icheon-fig-earlgrey-tart-takeout/lapins-icheon-fig-earlgrey-tart-takeout-09-lnw1w-966.webp) When we went, the owner looked busy — she was decorating a cake. Real craftsmanship..... and the cake was genuinely gorgeous ㅠㅠㅠ ## What desserts does Lapins have on the menu? Lapins' dessert lineup includes the fig earl grey tart (signature), classic tiramisu tart, Basque cheesecake, kirsch forêt noire cake, financiers and more! Since the fig earl grey tart is the signature and figs are in season, that's what I picked haha. My husband told me to choose too~~ ![Dessert showcase at Lapins](https://img.superchart.com/images/lapins-icheon-fig-earlgrey-tart-takeout/lapins-icheon-fig-earlgrey-tart-takeout-10-1iudi-966.webp) ![Tarts and cakes displayed in the showcase](https://img.superchart.com/images/lapins-icheon-fig-earlgrey-tart-takeout/lapins-icheon-fig-earlgrey-tart-takeout-11-12du4-966.webp) ![Basque cheesecake and financiers on display at Lapins](https://img.superchart.com/images/lapins-icheon-fig-earlgrey-tart-takeout/lapins-icheon-fig-earlgrey-tart-takeout-12-5hobh-966.webp) ![Freshly made kirsch forêt noire cake](https://img.superchart.com/images/lapins-icheon-fig-earlgrey-tart-takeout/lapins-icheon-fig-earlgrey-tart-takeout-13-x6ohm-966.webp) The kirsch forêt noire had just come out so I hesitated a lot, but at that moment I was craving fig... I'll have to come back and try that one too!! ![Drink menu board at Lapins](https://img.superchart.com/images/lapins-icheon-fig-earlgrey-tart-takeout/lapins-icheon-fig-earlgrey-tart-takeout-14-woiil-966.webp) The Lapins menu in Icheon includes the signature Inryeok coffee (a drink that blends milk tea and coffee), Americano, café latte, cappuccino, vanilla latte, dolce latte, flat white, cold brew, decaf, apple mango smoothie, and red smoothie (made with 100% plum) marked as signatures, plus blue grapefruit ade, lemon ade, peach iced tea, chocolate latte, matcha latte (using top-grade matcha from Hadong, Gyeongnam), milk tea, plain yogurt, and strawberry/blueberry yogurt smoothies — such a wide variety!! I ordered the following >__< - Fig earl grey tart ₩8,500 - Chocolate latte ₩6,000 - Red smoothie ₩6,500 ## How does the fig earl grey tart taste? ![Table setting with fig earl grey tart and two drinks](https://img.superchart.com/images/lapins-icheon-fig-earlgrey-tart-takeout/lapins-icheon-fig-earlgrey-tart-takeout-15-g9odd-966.webp) ![A slice of fig earl grey tart at Lapins](https://img.superchart.com/images/lapins-icheon-fig-earlgrey-tart-takeout/lapins-icheon-fig-earlgrey-tart-takeout-16-yzqw7-966.webp) The fig earl grey tart pairs seasonal figs with earl grey cream, and true to its signature status, it was stunning to look at! I'd literally just eaten a full meal and this still made my mouth water ㅋ ![Close-up of fig slices arranged like flower petals](https://img.superchart.com/images/lapins-icheon-fig-earlgrey-tart-takeout/lapins-icheon-fig-earlgrey-tart-takeout-17-1uljf-966.webp) ![Side view of fig tart brushed with glossy syrup](https://img.superchart.com/images/lapins-icheon-fig-earlgrey-tart-takeout/lapins-icheon-fig-earlgrey-tart-takeout-18-5veix-966.webp) Slices of fig were layered on top like flower petals, brushed with a glossy syrup — so pretty!!! The owner's dessert-making skill is next level... at this point she should open a Seoul branch. ![Cross-section of the fig earl grey tart cut with a fork](https://img.superchart.com/images/lapins-icheon-fig-earlgrey-tart-takeout/lapins-icheon-fig-earlgrey-tart-takeout-19-kp3n9-966.webp) One bite in and wow... so good. The distinct earl grey aroma had soaked into the cream, and the cake sponge was so soft. Since it's dairy whipped cream, it wasn't greasy at all and had real depth!!! The fig was sweet too♡ ## Red plum smoothie and chocolate latte at Lapins ![A glass of 100% plum red smoothie](https://img.superchart.com/images/lapins-icheon-fig-earlgrey-tart-takeout/lapins-icheon-fig-earlgrey-tart-takeout-20-18i4r-966.webp) The red smoothie was exactly as described — made from 100% plum, with that distinct tart-sweet plum flavor coming through!!! So whenever the chocolate latte got too sweet for me, I'd steal a sip of my husband's red smoothie, and we just alternated back and forth ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Tart and sweet, totally my style..💕 The chocolate latte was super rich. Perfect for when your blood sugar's low. It went really well with the cake too. The coffee looked good too ㅠㅠ I'll have to come back for coffee sometime!!! ## Basque cheesecake and financiers to take home ![Boxed desserts packed to go from Lapins](https://img.superchart.com/images/lapins-icheon-fig-earlgrey-tart-takeout/lapins-icheon-fig-earlgrey-tart-takeout-21-193nn-966.webp) ![Takeout Basque cheesecake and financiers](https://img.superchart.com/images/lapins-icheon-fig-earlgrey-tart-takeout/lapins-icheon-fig-earlgrey-tart-takeout-22-111zd-966.webp) Midway through, a close cat-sitter friend of mine invited us over, so we packed some desserts and a blueberry smoothie to go! Something this good can't be a secret just to me... we got the Basque cheesecake and financiers, and they were s.o. g.o.o.d. The Basque cheesecake was super dense, with cheese oozing out inside — so, so good. Exactly the taste I wanted! The financiers were crispy too, and you could really tell they didn't skimp on butter. Honestly I've been to a lot of big chain cafés nearby and been disappointed by the desserts, so finding a real dessert gem in Janghowon makes me so happy... ## Is Lapins worth a visit in Icheon?
