Seoulsup soufflé café: strawberry-mango soufflé & Spenner, 5to7

5to7 is one of my all-time favorite restaurants. I love it so much that I've been to the Gasan branch as well as the one in Seongsu, and if you're hunting for a great dessert spot, this is honestly one of the places I most want to recommend. Calling the 5to7 soufflé a lifetime dessert is no exaggeration; it's the best of the best. It's delicious no matter when I eat it, so here's my honest review.

Where is 5to7 Seongsu Main Branch, and how do you park?

5to7 Seongsu Main Branch (5to7 성수본점) is at 44-13 Seoulsup 2-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, 1st floor, a 3-minute walk from Exit 5 of Seoulsup Station. There's no parking at the café, so if you drive you'll need to use a nearby paid public lot.

My parking tip: use the Modu Parking app and go for the Seoulsup D Tower parking lot. It's pretty cheap.

If you love soufflés, or if you know your Seongsu hotspots, you can't not know 5to7. Even foreigners visit, it's the real deal. Ugh, words just aren't enough.

5to7 has been on TV: Saturday Is Good for Rice (episode 61, February 25, 2023), Live Tonight (episode 1538, April 15, 2021) and Live Today (episode 2601, June 25, 2020). It's the soufflé pancake place of all soufflé pancake places. I've been many times, and I'm excited every single visit.

How many soufflé flavors does 5to7 have?

5to7 has five soufflé flavors: strawberry, mango, pearl cream brûlée, tiramisu and matcha.

They add mango if you write a Naver receipt review, so I ordered the strawberry soufflé.

Seating and atmosphere at 5to7 Seongsu Main Branch

The café is split over three floors: the 1st floor has the ordering and pickup area plus seats and a terrace, the 2nd floor has café seating and a terrace, and the 3rd floor is a rooftop.

There are outdoor terrace seats too, which was perfect for this time of year, and the weather was so good that it was a great place to relax.

How my strawberry soufflé became a strawberry-mango soufflé

I hear the 5to7 strawberry soufflé is packed with seasonal strawberries sourced from Garak Market. Add the receipt review event on top, and it became a strawberry-mango soufflé.

The soufflés are made to order, so it takes a while.

The warm, cozy feel captures that Seoulsup mood, so it's great for a date, and just as easy to enjoy alone. In fact, I saw lots of people ordering one soufflé each.

Ugh, the soufflé and Spenner looked so good I felt half full already.

The fluffy soufflé was piled with strawberries and mango, and it was so pretty that I spent ages taking photos,

and with the atmosphere on top, I was so happy.

Since it's seasonal fruit, I like to think you get a different-tasting dessert each season. That's just my own theory.

How is the 5to7 Spenner? (₩8,000)

The 5to7 Spenner (a coffee topped with cream) costs ₩8,000, a drink that balances smooth coffee, milk and custard cream. I cracked the top a little to eat it, and the cream is super smooth and thick.

Drinking it together with the coffee underneath gave just the right mix of sweet and bitter, and it went well with the soufflé too.

Texture and taste of the strawberry-mango soufflé

The texture of the 5to7 soufflé is truly amazing. It melts the moment it hits your mouth, so you keep eating without feeling heavy,

and the sweet cream, the fresh tang of the strawberries and the sweetness of the mango blend together so you never get tired of it.

Can you see how fluffy it is? It's made the moment you order, so it's really f-l-u-f-f-y.

Why is it delicious every single time I eat here? No wonder I can't forget this taste.

Who is 5to7 Seongsu Main Branch for?

5to7 isn't just a pretty café; the food is great too. If you like soufflé desserts, it's a place you have to visit at least once,

and I highly recommend it as a Seoulsup date course too. It's just so good!
