There are lots of cafés near Ttukseom Station by Seoulsup. But if you want a really special dessert, the one to visit near the Seoulsup cafés is Notldun, loved by dessert fans. If you're planning a Seoulsup date or a Ttukseom café tour, this is a café you have to try~ Shall we go together~

Where is Notldun, and what are the hours?

Notldun is at 11 Seoulsup 2-gil, 1st floor, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, and it's open from 11am to 10pm. You can get there on foot from Ttukseom Station, so it's easy to visit.

It's a handy stop before or after a walk in Seoulsup, and a spot you can slip into naturally while wandering the Seongsu café streets.

The exterior, with red brick and a simple sign, reminds me of a small European dessert shop. Head up the stairs and the first thing you see is a neatly arranged dessert showcase. Such a charming place.

Can you park at Notldun?

Notldun has no parking lot of its own. You'll need to take public transport or use a nearby paid parking lot.

What's the atmosphere inside Notldun?

The inside is decorated in white tones with a tidy showcase, like a high-end hotel bakery. The soft lighting makes the desserts stand out even more.

Notldun has a reputation as a dessert shop people buy takeout gifts from, and there were lots of takeout customers here, even by Ttukseom café standards~

You can see the pastry chefs at work from the hall

From the hall you can see a clean bakery space, and it was fascinating to watch the pastry chefs working hard on cakes and desserts~

The restroom is also inside the shop, toward the back, so that's convenient too.

What I ordered at Notldun: lime madeleine and signature Noir

At Notldun I ordered a hot Americano and a cold vanilla latte, plus a lime madeleine and the Notldun Signature Noir.

A friendly staff member brought the drinks and desserts to our table, and even set out a knife and fork for us.

What does the Notldun Signature Noir taste like?

The Notldun Signature Noir is a premium mousse cake made with milk chocolate mousse, almond praline, whiskey crémeux and salty croustillant. You really get the deep, rich flavor of chocolate.

If you love chocolate, this is a must-try. I'd call it a grown-up chocolate dessert for people who enjoy sweetness with strong cacao~ Notldun, the café with so many Ttukseom café desserts~ If you're near Seoulsup, do drop by~
