On a weekend afternoon the writer waited behind 2 groups before sitting down with the Signature Noir, a decaf iced americano and a lemonade. The Signature Noir, milk chocolate mousse with croutillant, was smooth and clean, and because Notldun stays open until 10pm it also works as an evening dessert stop. ## Good to know - **Address**: 11 Seoulsup 2-gil, 1st floor, Seongdong-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: Mon–Thu 11:00–22:00 / Fri–Sun 11:00–22:30 - **Ordered**: Signature Noir, iced americano (decaf), lemonade - **Wait**: 2 groups ahead on a weekend visit, seated quickly - **Gift packing**: Available by size, from small boxes to full packages *as written by the visitor on Sep 22, 2026* ![Main image of Notldun, a Seongsu / Seoul Forest dessert café](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir-01-3iplu-1200.webp) Notldun 📌11 Seoulsup 2-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul ⏰ Hours Mon–Thu 11:00–22:00 Fri–Sun 11:00–22:30 ## Notldun, the Seongsu café to visit after a Seoul Forest walk ![Exterior of Notldun on Seoul Forest 2-gil](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir-02-1lep2-900.webp) On a nice weekend I was wandering around Seoul Forest and stopped by Notldun, a Seoul Forest café, for dessert and coffee! The Seongsu / Seoul Forest area is especially fun for café-hopping, and it's a great spot to visit after a walk through the park! It's on one of the hot Seoul Forest alleys, so there can be a wait on weekends! We had a wait too — about 2 groups ahead of us — but we got seated quickly! And since Notldun stays open until 10pm, you can enjoy dessert leisurely even late in the evening!! ![Dessert showcase visible from Notldun's entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir-03-d3iq6-900.webp) ## What's in the Notldun showcase, from madeleines to whole cakes Walking into Notldun, the first thing that caught my eye was the desserts! You could even watch them being made in person! ![Notldun's Signature Noir displayed in the showcase](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir-04-1v390-900.webp) Notldun's Signature Noir — I always make a point of trying the signature item, so I noted this one! ![Eye-catching cake display case at Notldun](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir-05-bom2c-900.webp) Every single one looked so pretty it was hard to decide what to get! The visuals were seriously amazing! Would make a great gift too!! ![Showcase with cakes and baked pastries together](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir-06-axqpl-900.webp) There are so many pretty dessert cafés in Seongsu these days, but Notldun wasn't just about photogenic desserts — it was fun to look at because it had a wide range of cakes and baked pastries together! ![Notldun's madeleines and baked pastries on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir-07-7jeef-900.webp) ![Showcase filled with various cakes at Notldun](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir-08-6fyz7-900.webp) From madeleines to cakes, there was so much variety that dessert lovers could enjoy just browsing the showcase! Just from the visuals, I could tell why it's known as one of the best dessert spots in Seongsu!! ### Notldun gift packing comes in several sizes Gift packing also comes in a variety of sizes, from a small, no-pressure size to full packages with a range of items — great to have that wide selection!! Hope an occasion comes up soon where I get to gift madeleines!! Financiers were also great for gifting!! Baked pastries rarely have strong likes/dislikes, so they're easy to give as gifts!! ![Gift-wrapped package of baked pastries](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir-09-xazyw-900.webp) ## Ordering a decaf iced americano and lemonade at Notldun For drinks we went with a decaf iced americano and lemonade! You could even choose the decaf beans! ![Drink menu with decaf bean option](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir-10-1qtj5-900.webp) For dessert I picked the Signature Noir, though the Pistachio Festival also caught my eye and I was torn! Since we had dinner plans right after, I only picked one — next time I'll come earlier and try a few! ![Pistachio Festival and other desserts on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir-11-fzom1-900.webp) The overall vibe of the space was clean and modern! ![Clean, modern interior of Notldun](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir-12-1r36o-900.webp) ![Seating and atmosphere at Notldun](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir-13-1efqg-900.webp) Notldun's madeleines aren't the usual kind — they come in various flavors, which made me curious!! And the visuals were so pretty! The madeleines were soft, so I thought they'd make a great gift for older relatives too!! ![Notldun's madeleines displayed in various flavors](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir-14-17zfb-900.webp) ![Close-up of a soft-textured madeleine](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir-15-18c1b-900.webp) When the staff brought out the dessert, they carefully set out a fork and knife too!! Not just a café — it really felt like being served dessert at a high-end lounge!! And... honestly it tasted way better than most hotel lounges!! ![Dessert table setting with fork and knife](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir-16-1mjq0-900.webp) The iced americano, lemonade, and Signature Noir arrived! The coffee and dessert were both so good that I'd recommend this place for a blind date or a date spot too!! The lemonade looked so cute too! ![Iced americano, lemonade, and Signature Noir](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir-17-fp4pw-900.webp) ## What does the Signature Noir taste like? A sweet dessert paired with coffee is hard to get wrong! Seongsu has no shortage of cafés, but if you want good coffee plus a properly high-quality dessert, I'd recommend Notldun, a dessert-focused café!! Notldun's Signature Noir is a dessert made with milk chocolate mousse, almond praline, whiskey cream, and a crispy croutillant! ![Signature Noir made with milk chocolate mousse](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir-18-1e9e9-900.webp) Just as it looks, it was packed with sweet chocolate flavor, and the rich chocolate taste was smooth and clean!! ![Cross-section of the Signature Noir chocolate mousse](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir-19-7hn0p-900.webp) And the crispy croutillant on the bottom added texture, making the dessert feel even more layered!! Such a smooth, delicious chocolate mousse!! ![A bite of Noir showing the croutillant base](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir-20-eyetr-900.webp) ## Visiting Notldun on a weekend? Start slowly at the showcase When I visited, being a weekend, the showcase was packed with a variety of desserts! In particular there was a wide range, from signature items to madeleines, mille-feuille, and cakes, so it was easy to pick based on your taste! Since the menu can change with the season or the timing of your visit, it seems like a place that keeps things exciting every time you come! Seeing the showcase in person and picking on the spot was fun too!! Personally, at dessert cafés like this, I think it's more fun to slowly browse the showcase rather than just look at a menu, and choose whatever you're most in the mood for that day! ![Showcase full of desserts on a weekend](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir-21-9ysqy-900.webp) After a long walk around Seoul Forest and the nearby showrooms, taking a break with a cup of coffee and dessert felt so relaxing and healing!! ![Table scene enjoying coffee and dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir-22-1pmlu-900.webp) If you're looking for a café in Seongsu, you end up wanting somewhere with a special dessert rather than just coffee, and I think Notldun is a place worth saving if you're after one of the best dessert spots in Seongsu! ![View of the Seoul Forest street from a window seat at Notldun](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir-23-7mbzo-900.webp) ![Interior of Notldun, good for a Seongsu date](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir-24-183uc-900.webp) Great to visit after a walk through Seoul Forest, good for dessert with friends, and nice as a Seongsu date course too — Notldun, a Seongsu café. If you've been looking for a café with great desserts in Seongsu, save this one and stop by on your next Seongsu trip :) ## Where it is - Notldun (노틀던) - 11 Seoulsup 2-gil, 1st floor, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 성동구 서울숲2길 11 1층 - 37.5473614, 127.0400154 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%85%B8%ED%8B%80%EB%8D%98/@37.5473614,127.0400154,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@incheon-rattan-tray/seongsu-seoulsup-cafe-weekend-waiting-noir/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
