# Seongsu date café with scone-base cheesecake on a Sunday: T Coffee - By Eden (https://superchart.com/en/@napkin-fold/) - Written Sep 16, 2026 - Local places › Cafés › Seongdong, Seoul - Sponsored: This post was written as a sponsored store visit. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@napkin-fold/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@napkin-fold/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake/index.md) ## In short T Coffee is a quiet basement café near Seongsu Station in Seongdong, Seoul. On a Sunday at 2pm only 3–4 tables were taken, and the visit was two iced americanos with nutty beans (5,500 won each) and a cheesecake (7,500 won) with a scone base and a chewy cream top that tasted like a McFlurry. T Coffee is an easy pick in Seongsu for a date or a long talk, once you find the entrance beside the pizza place. ## Good to know - **Address**: B1, 159 Achasan-ro, Seongdong-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: Mon–Fri 09:00–20:00 / Sat–Sun 11:00–20:00 - **Parking**: Not available - **Iced americano**: 5,500 won (nutty beans) - **Cheesecake**: 7,500 won - **Options**: Decaf +1,000 won; oat or soy milk in lattes +1,000 won - **Visit time and crowd**: Sunday around 2pm, only 3–4 tables taken - **Price reference**: ₩1,000 ≈ $0.7 · ₩7,500 ≈ $5.5 (2026-09-17) *as written by the visitor on Sep 16, 2026* Sometimes I prefer a quiet vibe when I'm reading, working on assignments, or having an important meeting at a café — so I wanted to recommend a calm, laid-back café in Seongsu 😊 ![Seongsu T Coffee café atmosphere](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake-01-1jtfx-966.webp) ## Where is T Coffee in Seongsu, and what are its hours? T Coffee is a café at 159 Achasan-ro, B1, Seongdong-gu, Seoul. Hours are Mon–Fri 09:00–20:00, Sat–Sun 11:00–20:00, and there's no parking. It's easy to find near Seongsu Station and pretty accessible. I had lunch near Konkuk University Station and walked over toward Seongsu to digest a bit before visiting! ![T Coffee building exterior on Achasan-ro near Seongsu Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake-02-1emow-966.webp) ## How to find the entrance hidden behind the pizza shop sign T Coffee is on the basement level, but since only the pizza place's red lettering was visible on the sign, I thought there'd only be a pizza place when I went down the stairs ~ but that wasn't the case! Just go on down haha. ![Stairs down to T Coffee's basement entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake-03-1plvt-966.webp) ![T Coffee entrance shared with pizza place sign](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake-04-oxrl4-m-966.webp) My fiancé turned into a pink boy for the date 💖 So cute. ![Date photo in front of T Coffee entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake-05-1g2y8-966.webp) If you go down the front stairs, you'll end up at the pizza place, which you can also enter the café through, so keep that in mind! We didn't know that and went down thinking 'wait, this is a pizza place!!' so we came back up and went around to the back of the building instead ㅠㅎㅎ (poor legs). There are stairs at both the front and back of the building, so either one leads to the café! But to avoid bothering the pizza place, I'd recommend using the back path instead of the main street side ⭐️ + you can also use the building's elevator. ![Café passage down the back stairs of the building](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake-06-hdf0x-966.webp) ![View of T Coffee's basement entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake-07-lk4z4-966.webp) ## Inside T Coffee at 2pm on a Sunday: seating and noise level T Coffee has a counter in the very center with tables surrounding it. When I visited around 2pm on a Sunday, there were about 3-4 tables of customers, and a lot of people who'd just eaten pizza next door came straight in for coffee. ![Counter in the middle of the space surrounded by tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake-08-z9ef4-966.webp) ![Quiet Sunday afternoon seating at T Coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake-09-1astx-966.webp) - Interior - That black machine is probably a coffee machine too, right? I was curious but never asked, haha. The cups were arranged so neatly and prettily that it gave me a sense of calm (I wish my own kitchen looked like that). ![Neatly arranged cups and coffee machine](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake-10-r4gmj-966.webp) I also took a photo of a kettle that looked like it might hold water — the interior is just gorgeous. I wish it were my own home ~ ![Kettle and interior decor on the counter](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake-11-ed5sl-966.webp) ![T Coffee store interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake-12-1ou41-966.webp) ## A basement with full-height glass — and no pizza smell T Coffee is on the basement level, but it has floor-to-ceiling windows looking out onto the outdoors, so it didn't feel stuffy at all. Honestly, before I went in, I wondered — with so many cafés in Seongsu, do I really need to go underground? — but it didn't feel like a basement at all :-) If you're not a fan of crowded cafés, T Coffee seems perfect for quiet conversation and a relaxed time. ![Basement seat by floor-to-ceiling windows with outdoor view](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake-13-y5eec-966.webp) There's a pizza place right next to T Coffee, but surprisingly, there was no pizza smell in the café at all. Since I'd already had lunch, if it had smelled like pizza I might have been lured right in, haha. I think you could have pizza first then come to T Coffee for coffee, or the other way around. ![T Coffee menu board with coffee, non-coffee, and decaf sections](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake-14-1j3jm-966.webp) *Menu photo: Naver* ## T Coffee menu and prices T Coffee's menu is divided into coffee / non-coffee / decaf. Switching to decaf is +₩1,000, and switching latte milk to oat or soy is +₩1,000. The lemon shiso mugwort tea was something I'd never seen before and I was curious what it tasted like, but since I'm an ice-cold-Americano-forever person… ![T Coffee dessert display case](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake-15-1rent-966.webp) ![Order counter and dessert display](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake-16-g331v-966.webp) We ordered two iced americanos and then it took a while to pick a dessert — everything looked delicious… I'm a bread person + a dessert person, so I always have to have dessert when I go to a café 😊 I was torn between the pistachio cream choux and the cheesecake, and since the cheesecake didn't look like the usual shape I know, I got curious and ordered it 🧀 ![Two iced americanos and a cheesecake](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake-17-1tj0v-966.webp) - Iced Americano ₩5,500 (nutty beans) - Cheesecake ₩7,500 - + Decaf available ![Cross-section of the scone-based cheesecake](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake-18-1ait1-966.webp) ### What the scone-base cheesecake at T Coffee tastes like T Coffee's cheesecake (₩7,500) had a scone-like base at the very bottom, with a fluffy yet chewy, cream-like layer on top. Cheesecake is usually dense all the way through, so this was a texture I'd never had before :-) As I kept eating, I felt like I'd tasted this somewhere before, and after thinking hard about it — it tasted like a McFlurry???? Lol. Of course, there was cheese flavor too. It was so good I scraped the plate clean. ![Empty cheesecake plate and iced coffee after finishing](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake-19-2rd60-966.webp) ## Why T Coffee works as a quiet date café in Seongsu T Coffee seemed to be full of everything I love — quiet and calm, wood, plants, flavorful coffee, and sweet desserts. The warmth of the atmosphere made me want to bring a laptop and write a blog post there someday. For a date, a meeting, or even a blind date in Seongsu, it seems like a café that satisfies both coffee quality and atmosphere. Stop by if you're ever in Seongsu ❣️ ![Window seat at T Coffee Seongsu with a green view](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake-20-i72r2-1200.webp) ## Where it is - T Coffee (티 커피) - 159 Achasan-ro, B1, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 성동구 아차산로 159 지하1층 - 37.5433996, 127.0618187 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%8B%B0%20%EC%BB%A4%ED%94%BC/@37.5433996,127.0618187,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@napkin-fold/seongsu-t-coffee-sunday-date-cheesecake/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
