While looking for a place to work, I tried Ex-Boyfriend Toast, Hongrad Brownie, and Bear Matcha Schupener amid retro decor and thoughtful amenities. Verdict: a sweet, comfortable Suwon stop for dessert and getting things done. ## Good to know - **Location**: Walkable from Suwon Station, directly opposite Suwon Tax Office - **Tables**: Square tables for three or more and round tables for two - **Souvenir prices**: Many items the writer saw were under ₩5,000 *as written by the visitor on Sep 12, 2026* When I came to Suwon, I was looking for somewhere to work for a little while, and I had such a great stay at Hongrad Suwon Station Branch, a fantastic dessert café near Suwon Station!! ![Hongrad Suwon Station Branch, a dessert café near Suwon Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe-01-2fayx-1200.webp) ## Hongrad Suwon Station Branch, an easy walk from Suwon Station Hongrad Suwon Station Branch is easy to reach on foot from Suwon Station and sits right in front of Suwon Tax Office! Maybe that is why there were lots of law-related businesses nearby, haha. But there is also a Starfield nearby, and it is close to Haenggung-dong, so it is great for enjoying a café after a good meal~ ![Café guide introducing toast and brownies](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe-02-n82oq-966.webp) ![Exterior of the Suwon Station Branch café and its surroundings](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe-03-dfi94-966.webp) ![Street view around the café near Suwon Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe-04-dr63z-966.webp) Hongrad is a Suwon café with five locations in Suwon alone. ![Entrance to Hongrad, a Suwon café](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe-05-7dsiy-966.webp) ## Retro vibes from the entrance onward But the vibe was already so good from the entrance...!! ![Café entrance with retro posters](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe-06-13lc0-966.webp) ![Vintage-style objects at the café entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe-07-1u6ql-966.webp) There are posters with an American feel, haha. Maybe from around the 1970s or 1980s? Right by the entrance, there is a camcorder and mini TV that make for a fun photo spot too~ ![Space with a camcorder and mini TV](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe-08-1jp63-966.webp) The inside is hip too~ I guess I really like this kind of interior, hahaha. All the little objects hanging on the walls are cool as well! There are square tables for three or more people, plus cozy round tables for two. ![Café seating with square and round tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe-09-1k3la-966.webp) Beyond the screen by the entrance, you can take in the retro vibe through a laptop too, haha. ![Retro café space styled with a laptop](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe-10-nnavf-966.webp) There were blankets beside it, but the weather was still hot, so I did not use one. ![Blanket placed beside café seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe-11-1koii-966.webp) ![Café interior with blankets provided](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe-12-bdy52-966.webp) Near the counter, there was a spot selling little items. They were not that expensive (many of the things I saw were under ₩5,000!), so they would make nice souvenirs to take home. ![Small-item sales area beside the counter](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe-13-cpykw-966.webp) ## Toast and brownies served with ice cream Now, time to choose the menu~ An iced café latte topped with ice cream sounded tempting too, but since the dessert toast came with ice cream, I ordered Ex-Boyfriend Toast, Hongrad Brownie, and Bear Matcha Schupener~ ![Menu guide for Ex-Boyfriend Toast and brownies](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe-14-4dyl4-966.webp) There were various notices too, and they said they would give out pin badges of cats or dogs raised by the staff, so I quickly brought over my receipt, hahaha. ![Café notice about animal pin badges](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe-15-123qg-966.webp) ## Thoughtful amenities that made working comfortable As I headed back to my seat, I had not realized at first that this was the bathroom entrance...!! Even inside, the retro atmosphere was going strong. ![Bathroom entrance with retro vibes](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe-16-1afm5-966.webp) Hongrad Suwon Station Branch felt considerate in the little details. Water sounds play continuously in the bathroom to cover embarrassing noises, and there are notices about feminine products, hair ties, bandages, and more. ![Notice for feminine and convenience products](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe-17-1kg4t-966.webp) ![Café area with convenience-product information](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe-18-12592-966.webp) There is even a charging station, straws, tissues, wet wipes, water, paper cups, and hand cream, so anyone who needs them can use them comfortably! ![Café amenities including a charging station and wet wipes](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe-19-mpoqj-966.webp) After a short wait, our order came right out! ![Ordered toast, brownie, and matcha drink](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe-20-wmb7w-966.webp) ### Hongrad Brownie First, the Hongrad Brownie~ It is topped with vanilla ice cream. With banana, blueberries, preserved cherries, and powdered sugar too, it is a full sugar recharge, hahaha. ![Hongrad Brownie topped with vanilla ice cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe-21-1fwqo-966.webp) The refreshing ice cream goes so well with the chewy brownie! It tastes good separately, but of course you have to eat them together, haha. The brownie has chocolate chips throughout, so the occasional bite of one is the perfect kick amid that chewy texture. Chocolate lovers, I recommend this one~~ ![Chewy brownie with chocolate chips](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe-22-j2z3e-966.webp) ### Ex-Boyfriend Toast and Bear Matcha Schupener Next was the Ex-Boyfriend Toast! I never made this viral SNS toast even when it was all the rage... It has cream cheese inside and is topped with blueberry jam and vanilla ice cream~ I think it is the same ice cream as the brownie, but it was fascinating how differently the combination came across. Next, Bear Matcha Schupener~ It is a sweet matcha drink without any bitterness! The cream on top is nicely thick too, and its clean flavor refreshed my mouth after all the sweetness from the Ex-Boyfriend Toast and Hongrad Brownie. > ((I am on a tour of great dessert spots... haha)) ![Working at the café while enjoying dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe-23-15df3-966.webp) ![Working amid retro vibes at Hongrad Suwon Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe-24-1pbxb-966.webp) After eating and working away, it was dark outside before I knew it~ I also took a photo with the cute Koo pin badge I received for leaving a receipt review. My Suwon Haenggung-dong café and dessert-spot exploration was a success, haha. ## A dessert café found only in Suwon When I go somewhere other than near home, I tend to seek out things available only in that area. I came here without knowing, but I loved that it is a café found only in Suwon—and near Suwon Haenggung-dong and Suwon Station, both great places to hang out. I was even more satisfied because it is such a good dessert spot!! This was Hongrad, a café where you can pick up cute animal pin badges too, haha. ## Where it is - Hongrad Suwon Station Branch (홍라드 수원역점) (홍라드 수원역점) - 2F, 61-1 Hyanggyo-ro, Paldal-gu, Suwon, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 수원시 팔달구 향교로 61-1 2층 - 37.2699108, 127.0074848 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%99%8D%EB%9D%BC%EB%93%9C%20%EC%88%98%EC%9B%90%EC%97%AD%EC%A0%90/@37.2699108,127.0074848,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-saucer-hours/suwon-station-retro-dessert-cafe/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
