Stopping by for a second round after dinner, the writer ordered Notldun's signature Pistachio Festival, a pistachio madeleine and an iced Americano. The pistachio cream with the jam layer inside was the best combination the writer has ever had — worth a trip for any pistachio lover. ## Good to know - **Ordered**: Pistachio Festival (signature dessert), pistachio madeleine, iced Americano - **Location**: 11 Seoulsup 2-gil, 1st floor, Seongdong-gu, Seoul (near Ttukseom Station and Seoul Forest) - **Service**: Orders brought to the table, dessert knife set out for you - **Packaging**: Gift boxes available *as written by the visitor on Sep 14, 2026* ![Main image of Seongsu dessert café Notldun](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert-01-hakt7-1200.webp) ## Notldun as an after-dinner dessert stop in Seongsu Notldun, a dessert café in Seongsu, sits on Seoul Forest 2-gil. I headed there right after finishing dinner nearby. The meal was delicious, but somehow I still felt a bit of room left for round two haha ㅠㅠ Going straight home felt like a waste, so I looked for somewhere to grab a good dessert after eating, and found Notldun — famous as a total dessert hotspot — so I walked right over haha. ![Notldun's entrance and clean interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert-02-1g1yt-900.webp) From the entrance alone, this Seongsu dessert spot had a clean, upscale interior that really stood out. ![Interior atmosphere of Notldun](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert-03-1vvgp-900.webp) ## Notldun's open kitchen behind glass and the wall of autographs Behind the café, you can see straight through the glass as the pastry chefs make the desserts and breads by hand. Watching the whole process happen right in front of me built up a huge amount of trust in the desserts, on top of feeling really clean haha. ![Pastry chefs' work space seen through the glass](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert-04-1038y-900.webp) Looking around the walls, I spotted a ton of signatures — actress Pyo Ye-jin among them, along with other celebrities, influencers, and YouTubers. ![Wall covered with celebrity and influencer autographs](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert-05-fpuhh-900.webp) It confirmed I'd found a real Seongsu dessert hotspot, and my expectations shot up even before I'd taken a bite haha. ![Notldun's dessert display case](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert-06-1t6ir-900.webp) ## What we ordered at Notldun: Pistachio Festival, pistachio madeleine, iced Americano At Notldun I ordered the signature Pistachio Festival, the pistachio madeleine, and a cold Americano. I'm genuinely obsessed with pistachio in general ㅠㅠ ![Showcase with pistachio desserts on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert-07-1mjd7-900.webp) They happened to have a signature dessert called Pistachio Festival along with a pistachio madeleine, so I ordered without hesitation! ![Ordered Pistachio Festival and pistachio madeleine](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert-08-w8skx-900.webp) A sweet dessert always calls for a clean drink to go with it, so I got a cold Americano to enjoy alongside it. ![A glass of cold iced Americano](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert-09-hh007-900.webp) ### Table service at Notldun, down to the dessert knife Notldun brings your order out to your table, and this is where the owner's thoughtfulness really got me ㅠㅠ ![Dessert setting served at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert-10-kd5ta-900.webp) They set out a knife so you can neatly slice the dessert yourself — it made me feel completely looked after. ![Table set with a dessert knife](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert-11-1obs6-900.webp) Honestly, this is a great Seongsu dessert spot to visit when you want to treat yourself or need a little pick-me-up haha. ![Desserts and drink laid out on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert-12-2yl5b-900.webp) ## Pistachio Festival: what the cross-section and the taste are like Notldun's Pistachio Festival is covered entirely in a gorgeous pistachio hue — this signature dessert. As soon as it arrived, I couldn't stop staring at how it looked. ![Pistachio Festival covered in pistachio color](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert-13-1qf70-900.webp) The whole thing was coated in that luminous pistachio color, so pretty and appetizing that it made my mouth water just looking at it haha. The design itself was so upscale and refined that I couldn't help but take photos. I was most curious about the Pistachio Festival, so I cut into it with the knife to check the cross-section — it was so clean and neat, packed generously inside. ![Cross-section of the Pistachio Festival cut with a knife](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert-14-nwodm-900.webp) I took a big bite, and the deepest, most luxurious pistachio flavor I've ever had in my life filled my mouth ㅠㅠ ![A bitten piece of the pistachio dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert-15-2etlz-900.webp) Inside there's a sweet jam-like layer, and the combination of that jam with the pistachio cream was so perfect it honestly surprised me haha. ![Jam layer visible inside the pistachio cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert-16-mlulz-900.webp) With every bite, it felt almost a shame to watch the dessert disappear — it was seriously, insanely good! ![Plate of Pistachio Festival mostly eaten](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert-17-1n8cn-900.webp) ## Pistachio madeleine with an iced Americano Notldun's pistachio madeleine has a generous coating of crushed pistachio bits on the outside. I tried it next — the crushed pistachio on the surface gave it a really fun, nutty crunch. ![Madeleine coated in crushed pistachio bits](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert-18-ray5d-900.webp) The soft, moist texture typical of a madeleine paired really well with the nutty, sweet pistachio flavor haha. ![Inside of the pistachio madeleine cut in half](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert-19-9ybep-900.webp) And right as the sweetness started to build up, a sip of the bitter, cold Americano cleared my palate completely — it was a combination I could keep eating endlessly! ![Dessert paired with the iced Americano](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert-20-t79b0-900.webp) Two desserts plus an Americano, and only then did I finally feel properly full haha. ## Gift boxes and the atmosphere inside Notldun Looking around the store, Notldun also has really nice gift wrapping available, with pretty boxes for takeaway. ![Display of Notldun's gift boxes](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert-21-12b4m-900.webp) The desserts look pretty and taste luxurious, so they'd make perfect gifts for someone special. ![Desserts that make great gifts](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert-22-9fegv-900.webp) With such a nice atmosphere and great desserts, I saw a lot of couples there on dates too. ![Seating area at Notldun full of couples](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert-23-wt6i0-900.webp) ## Why Notldun is worth it for pistachio lovers If you love pistachio, this Seongsu dessert spot Notldun is a must-visit ㅠㅠ ![Final shot of the pistachio desserts at Notldun](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert/seongsu-nautrodun-pistachio-dessert-24-xn7cv-900.webp) You'll get to taste a level of pistachio dessert you truly haven't experienced before.
