Gongdeok dessert café: Basque cheesecake with cream dip, Ieo Coffee

One day in September 2026, I went to enjoy a quiet afternoon at Ieo Coffee Roasters Gongdeok Branch, a café along Gyeongui Line Forest Park 🤎

Where is Ieo Coffee Roasters Gongdeok Branch?

Ieo Coffee Roasters Gongdeok Branch is a café at 9 Baekbeom-ro 24-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, 1st floor, in a quiet alley between Daeheung and Gongdeok stations. It's open weekdays 8:00–20:00 and weekends 11:00–19:00, and pets are welcome.

Located near where Gyeongui Line Forest Park stretches on, in a quiet alley between Daeheung and Gongdeok stations, Ieo Coffee Roasters gives off a sense of coziness and comfort just from the outside 🍀

What are the interior and seating like at Ieo Coffee Roasters?

The inside of Ieo Coffee Roasters Gongdeok Branch has a clean yet stylish interior, with a quiet, not-at-all-noisy atmosphere. There's extra space on the other side, so seating was roomier than I expected.

A clean but seriously stylish interior! The moment I stepped in, the quiet stillness felt so good, I could've cried ㅠㅠ This is exactly what a café should be.. not loud and buzzing, but this kind of feeling

Off to one side I spotted some cute printed T-shirts that seemed to be for sale, and near the entrance there was a self-serve bar where you could grab bottled water

There was extra space on the other side too, so seating was roomier than I expected These days I often worry, going into a café, 'will there even be a seat left for me..' but this is a place where you can leave that worry behind

Happily settled into my seat, I went ahead and ordered coffee and dessert hehe

At Ieo Coffee, the café along Gyeongui Line Forest Park, there were so many desserts you could enjoy without feeling awkward even alone, so I was satisfied heh heh Since I went there focused on dessert from the very start!!!!! I checked whether the Basque cheesecake was even in stock before ordering ^_^ Decaf iced americano ₩4,300 Basque cheesecake ₩5,800

Decaf iced americano, 4,300 won with no decaf surcharge

The decaf iced americano at Ieo Coffee Roasters Gongdeok Branch is ₩4,300, with no extra charge for decaf. It had a light acidity and paired well with the cheesecake.

Ta-da - ✨ This is proper afternoon healing! The americano and Basque cheesecake I ordered 💛 Back when I was watching my diet strictly before my wedding, Basque cheesecake was the thing I wanted most... These days if I hear a café has Basque cheesecake, I just automatically like that place First, the decaf americano!! Lately my heart races or I can't sleep well sometimes, so caffeine in the afternoon can feel like a burden At Ieo Coffee Roasters near Gongdeok Station, you can enjoy delicious coffee without any extra decaf charge 🤎 hehe There seemed to be a light acidity to it, but anyway I remember it went really well with the cheesecake

Basque cheesecake, 5,800 won: dip it in the cream

The Basque cheesecake at Ieo Coffee Roasters Gongdeok Branch is ₩5,800 and comes with white cream on the side. The cake alone is subtly sweet and nutty, but dipping it in the cream adds even more sweetness and takes the appeal way up.

Next up, the Basque cheesecake💛 Another blog raved that this cheesecake was truly a magical thing, that this place is the real deal, so I was really looking forward to it

First, this cream! Hard to say exactly what kind of cream it is ㅎㅎㅎ but it was very soft and cold and sweet, without being overpoweringly sweet — total pass 🎶

As expected, the Basque cheesecake scoops up soft and smooth 💕 So pale and so soft! I tried it plain first, and it was subtly sweet with that signature Basque cheesecake nuttiness — really delicious It tasted luxurious, like the cream cheese content was high, hehe

Now, dipping it into the white cream that came alongside! Dipping the nutty Basque cheesecake into the cream added a subtle extra sweetness, and the appeal exploded!!!!!!!!💖 This, this was the total trick I told myself I'd only eat a little.. eat little bits often... but that cream ended up making me scoop up every last bit.. hehe..

I feel like Basque cheesecake texture varies quite a bit from café to café The one at Ieo Coffee Roasters holds its shape well, but the moment it's in your mouth, it melts away with an incredibly powerful softness..💛 On top of that, the signature nuttiness of the cheesecake and the subtle sweetness were both never overwhelming, and worked in harmony Thank you for such a satisfying dessert time >_<~~!
