Cafe Bonghwangdang has a first floor and second floor, and the window side has floor-to-ceiling glass windows so it feels totally open, not stuffy at all! You take the stairs up to the second floor, and there are little props here and there that look like traditional Gyeongju relics~~~ ![Stairs up to the second floor with traditional props](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-bonghwangdang-signature-coffee-parfait/gyeongju-bonghwangdang-signature-coffee-parfait-05-169b3-900.webp) ![Café props styled after Gyeongju relics](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-bonghwangdang-signature-coffee-parfait/gyeongju-bonghwangdang-signature-coffee-parfait-06-1wam4-900.webp) ![Decor around the second-floor staircase at Bonghwangdang](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-bonghwangdang-signature-coffee-parfait/gyeongju-bonghwangdang-signature-coffee-parfait-07-11s8y-900.webp) ![Open, spacious second-floor seating at Bonghwangdang](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-bonghwangdang-signature-coffee-parfait/gyeongju-bonghwangdang-signature-coffee-parfait-08-15b8y-900.webp) The second floor felt even more open and spacious compared to the first.

The sumakse cookies also came in a variety of flavors, which was even better than having just one flavor. ![Sumakse cookies on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-bonghwangdang-signature-coffee-parfait/gyeongju-bonghwangdang-signature-coffee-parfait-16-l7otl-900.webp) ![Sign introducing the 5 sumakse cookie flavors](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-bonghwangdang-signature-coffee-parfait/gyeongju-bonghwangdang-signature-coffee-parfait-17-1a53d-900.webp) The sumakse cookies are great to buy as a gift set, but they're also sold individually, so you can enjoy them with your drink too. There are 5 flavors: Earl Grey fig, white chocolate yuzu, strawberry chocolate matcha, pecan chocolate, and chestnut mugwort. ![Bonghwangdang's dessert display case](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-bonghwangdang-signature-coffee-parfait/gyeongju-bonghwangdang-signature-coffee-parfait-18-lkt4b-900.webp) ## How the Bonghwang coffee and matcha parfait taste We ordered Cafe Bonghwangdang's signature drinks, Bonghwang coffee and the matcha parfait!

The bitterness, sweetness, nuttiness and tartness all came together really well. It was also fun picking through the different bits as you eat. ![Matcha parfait topped with mango and nuts](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-bonghwangdang-signature-coffee-parfait/gyeongju-bonghwangdang-signature-coffee-parfait-20-2xuot-790.webp) Bonghwang coffee was bittersweet with a smoothness and nuttiness to it!

The quality is no joke! The cookies were soft too! ![Sumakse cookies modeled after Gyeongju's face-patterned roof tile](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-bonghwangdang-signature-coffee-parfait/gyeongju-bonghwangdang-signature-coffee-parfait-24-a1qaw-900.webp) The texture was the same across all of them, but the flavors were all different.
