Hapjeong reading café with homemade lime syrup ade: Petrico

Petrico is a soufflé cake and homemade-syrup ade café on Jandari-ro in Mapo, Seoul, 500m from Hapjeong Station Exit 2. After an afternoon of outdoor reading, the order was a fruit soufflé (18,000 won) and a coco lime-ade (7,500 won), with a 20–30 minute wait because each soufflé is baked once ordered. With wide gaps between tables and a table height that suits laptop work, Petrico satisfied on both dessert and space.
