Hongdae soufflé café where one dessert feeds three: Think Fruit

Think Fruit is a Hongdae dessert café serving soufflés and parfaits made with premium seasonal fruit — the kind of place where you can settle in for a sweet brunch and coffee. I've been completely obsessed with peaches lately, and when I heard I could try their Blue Ribbon-winning peach soufflé, my sister and I grabbed lunch and headed over for dessert.

How to get to Think Fruit in Hongdae, and where to park

Think Fruit is about 4 minutes from Exit 6 of Hongik University Station (Line 2, Gyeongui-Jungang Line, Airport Railroad), tucked behind Hongdae AK Plaza near Gyeongui Line Forest Park.

✅ Parking info — if you're driving, there's no dedicated parking in front of the café, so here's a nearby option: Donggyo-dong Public Parking Lot 1/2, 5 minutes away, ₩500.

What makes this Blue Ribbon dessert café in Hongdae different?

True to its identity as a fruit-focused dessert café, Think Fruit uses fresh, sweet, premium seasonal fruit to make soufflés and parfaits you can only really get here. It's been selected two years running in the 2023/2024 Blue Ribbon Survey — a soufflé spot well worth trying if you're looking for a standout Hongdae dessert café.

Inside Think Fruit: interior and seating

The interior is floor-to-ceiling windows on every side, so it's bright and cheerful the moment you walk in — my mood instantly lifted. The white-toned interior also gave off a pure, refreshing vibe.

There were about 12 two-person tables, and I especially liked the seats where you sit side by side facing the window — perfect for a cozy date, too!

What we ordered: peach soufflé, Melo Bianco and classic royal milk tea

We ordered one melo bianco, one classic royal milk tea, and the peach soufflé for dessert.

When we ordered, the staff kindly let us know the soufflé takes about 15–20 minutes since the meringue is whipped and baked fresh for each order.

Melo Bianco, 6,900 won

An Einspänner-based coffee topped with a big, nicely toasted marshmallow — dipping it into the soft whipped cream gave a fluffy, sweet, nutty bite. It's basically dessert and coffee in one drink.

Peach soufflé, 22,000 won

This Japanese-style pancake gets its fluffy, cloud-soft texture because the meringue is whipped and baked to order. It's made with top-grade peaches from suppliers chosen by a fruit sommelier, so the fresh juice from the real fruit, plus Häagen-Dazs ice cream, makes for a bright, sweet, mood-lifting dessert!

The peaches are ripened in a dedicated fridge, so they're packed with sweetness and juice. When you cut the whole peach in half, it's stuffed with plain Greek yogurt!

My jaw literally dropped at the visual — such a treat for the eyes — and the melt-in-your-mouth peach with the tangy yogurt made for a sweet, refreshing, mood-boosting dessert spread. Honestly, looking at the price alone I thought it might be a bit steep, but once I saw and tasted it, it totally made sense — and the portion is huge, easily enough for three people to share.

Tasting it myself, the soufflé itself was so fluffy and soft, like a baby's bottom — and dipped generously in whipped cream, it was heavenly! It was so soft and airy that the texture got better with every bite, and I completely fell for it.

Is Think Fruit worth it? Final verdict

Trying it firsthand, this was the best-quality soufflé I've had, and getting to enjoy seasonal fruit alongside it was a bonus. The café's relaxed, calm atmosphere also made it a great spot to unwind while looking out the window.
