How does the honey bread at Café The Corner taste?

The honey bread (thick toasted bread with honey and cream) adds the soft flavor of whipped cream to the sweetness of the bread, so it pairs nicely with an americano. If you love sweet desserts, order coffee and honey bread together: the bitterness of the coffee balances the sweetness of the dessert.

I liked that the whipped cream isn't too sweet. Textbook crispy outside, moist inside! It was so good. It's topped with chocolate grazzle and caramel grazzle.

A coffee lover tries the latte and americano at Café The Corner

Café The Corner uses fresh specialty beans roasted by hand every morning, a real coffee spot in Sejong. I'm so glad a café like this exists in Sejong.

If you're in Sejong, please come here for coffee. As a true coffee lover, I find it hard to find a place with a good latte, but the latte here is nutty and genuinely delicious. The americano is clean too. Maybe because they roast in-house, the flavor is amazing.

Best of all, they stay open late in the evening, so this could become my Dodam-dong hangout.

The americano lets you taste the aroma and flavor of the beans most plainly, so I recommend it at Café The Corner in Dodam-dong.

The honey bread was moist and delicious with the cream too. The coffee has no dregs taste at all, and I fell for the rich, nutty flavor of the beans.

Who should visit Café The Corner in Sejong?

If you're visiting Sejong, I recommend Café The Corner in Dodam-dong. It's for anyone who wants house-roasted coffee, or who is looking for a café they can visit with kids.
