I tried maple, plain, and almond waffles plus three financiers, and immediately ordered another almond waffle for its nutty crunch.

The waffle had that crisp-outside, tender-inside thing going on, but because it had soaked up the maple syrup, this one felt softer! If you like sweet things, I totally, totally recommend it 🫶🏻 ![Maple syrup waffle](https://img.superchart.com/images/ujangsan-waffle-friand-the-sweetree/ujangsan-waffle-friand-the-sweetree-11-17l9c-900.webp) ## A plain waffle that was delicious even after takeaway 🤎 Plain waffle — ₩3,500 🤎 You know those times when you crave waffles but want something more understated than intensely sweet? That day was today,, haha. I really wanted a totally basic plain one!! ![Plain waffle](https://img.superchart.com/images/ujangsan-waffle-friand-the-sweetree/ujangsan-waffle-friand-the-sweetree-12-1qb9e-900.webp) I took mine home, and it tasted freshly baked after a spin in the air fryer!! Apparently it is also really good toasted at home 🥹 The outside has a light sugar coating, so it has just a little sweetness, which made this plain waffle even more delicious 🫶🏻❤️ I cannot believe something so basic could be this good—The Sweetree is absolutely a waffle spot in my book🤎 ![Takeaway plain waffle](https://img.superchart.com/images/ujangsan-waffle-friand-the-sweetree/ujangsan-waffle-friand-the-sweetree-13-15uf4-900.webp) ## Almond waffle with maximum crunch 🤎 Almond waffle — ₩4,500 🤎 I tried the plain one and immediately ordered one more! Haha, I paid for this one myself,,🤭 Personally, if I visit again, I think I’ll get this one again!! ![Almond crunch waffle](https://img.superchart.com/images/ujangsan-waffle-friand-the-sweetree/ujangsan-waffle-friand-the-sweetree-14-1lpr1-900.webp) First of all, it was covered in almond crunch, taking the crispness to the max, and it was insanely good 😍 The almond nuttiness was especially delicious🥹💖 Totally my style,, They also have lots of waffles piled with cream or coated in chocolate, so sweet-tooth people should focus on those!! ![Assorted waffle varieties](https://img.superchart.com/images/ujangsan-waffle-friand-the-sweetree/ujangsan-waffle-friand-the-sweetree-15-mpwux-900.webp) ![Waffles and baked treats assortment](https://img.superchart.com/images/ujangsan-waffle-friand-the-sweetree/ujangsan-waffle-friand-the-sweetree-16-1tn4j-900.webp) ## Financiers as good as the waffles Next up, the financiers 🫶🏻 Isn’t the plate so pretty too? Haha. If it is not busy, I think it would be nice to sit down and have a quick bite before you go! ![Financiers served on a plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/ujangsan-waffle-friand-the-sweetree/ujangsan-waffle-friand-the-sweetree-17-1cfb8-900.webp) ### A plain financier that passes from the basics 🤎 Plain financier — ₩3,000 🤎 You have to taste the plain financier first to know whether a place is good,, Personally, I think financiers are hard to get right ㅠ You need browned butter,, and it is hard to make the outside crisp while keeping the inside moist too..!! But this financier passed right from the thickness—it was just right! And it was not a dry financier at all; it was totally crisp outside and chewy inside!! 😍 The waffles are great, but the financiers are seriously so good too ㅜㅜ If you like baked treats, run there right now,,🥹 ![Plain financier](https://img.superchart.com/images/ujangsan-waffle-friand-the-sweetree/ujangsan-waffle-friand-the-sweetree-18-zv416-900.webp) ### Extra crunch from Lotus biscuits 🤎 Lotus financier — ₩3,000 🤎 No, all the financiers here are the same price at ₩3,000 ;-; Seriously, why would you not buy this!!! I already like Lotus biscuits, so I enjoyed it even more haha. ![Lotus financier](https://img.superchart.com/images/ujangsan-waffle-friand-the-sweetree/ujangsan-waffle-friand-the-sweetree-19-1igch-900.webp) The signature sweetness of Lotus biscuits went so well with the financier, and the biscuit made the outside feel even crispier—so good 🫶🏻 And at the same price, you might as well get the one with more on top, haha. ![Fig cream cheese financier](https://img.superchart.com/images/ujangsan-waffle-friand-the-sweetree/ujangsan-waffle-friand-the-sweetree-20-10c0u-900.webp) ### Chewy fig cream cheese financier 💛 Fig cream cheese financier — ₩3,000 💛 A financier topped with dried figs! The cream cheese was a great match, and the distinctive fig aroma went so well with it ❤️ ![Dried fig financier](https://img.superchart.com/images/ujangsan-waffle-friand-the-sweetree/ujangsan-waffle-friand-the-sweetree-21-2zucv-900.webp) I really love a thick financier… hahaha. This one was also totally crisp outside and chewy inside, and the figs were chewy, so the chewy texture was doubled 🩷 ![Thick financier](https://img.superchart.com/images/ujangsan-waffle-friand-the-sweetree/ujangsan-waffle-friand-the-sweetree-22-1d8dm-900.webp) If you love baked treats or waffles, run to Balsan Station or Ujangsan Station right now and experience this amazing waffle spot ❤️ ![Gift packaging for six waffles](https://img.superchart.com/images/ujangsan-waffle-friand-the-sweetree/ujangsan-waffle-friand-the-sweetree-23-1cswb-900.webp) ## Six-waffle gift boxes are available By the way, if you buy six waffles, they package them like this!! I think it would be so nice for a gift too 🫶🏻 The owner is super kind as well 🥹💖💖 Next time I need to give someone a gift, I am going to get a whole bunch packed up here ❤️ ## Where it is - The Sweetree (더스위트리) (더스위트리) - 1F, Unit 102, 38 Gangseo-ro 47ga-gil, Gangseo-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울특별시 강서구 강서로47가길 38 1층 102호) - 서울특별시 강서구 강서로47가길 38 1층 102호 - 37.5508825, 126.8355322 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8D%94%EC%8A%A4%EC%9C%84%ED%8A%B8%EB%A6%AC/@37.5508825,126.8355322,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@roaster-window-walks/ujangsan-waffle-friand-the-sweetree/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
