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 ![A glass of decaf iced americano](https://img.superchart.com/images/eoh-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-basque-cheesecake/eoh-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-basque-cheesecake-19-9vikm-900.webp) ## 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 ![Basque cheesecake served with white cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/eoh-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-basque-cheesecake/eoh-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-basque-cheesecake-20-1yg7t-900.webp) 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 🎶 ![A forkful of soft Basque cheesecake](https://img.superchart.com/images/eoh-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-basque-cheesecake/eoh-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-basque-cheesecake-21-7y2yw-900.webp) 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 ![Cross-section of the Basque cheesecake](https://img.superchart.com/images/eoh-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-basque-cheesecake/eoh-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-basque-cheesecake-22-1lgdi-900.webp) ![Basque cheesecake being dipped into the cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/eoh-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-basque-cheesecake/eoh-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-basque-cheesecake-23-d01ol-900.webp) 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.. ![A nearly finished plate of Basque cheesecake](https://img.superchart.com/images/eoh-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-basque-cheesecake/eoh-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-basque-cheesecake-24-13n18-900.webp) 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 >_<~~! ## Where it is - Ieo Coffee Roasters Gongdeok Branch (이어커피로스터스 공덕점) - 9 Baekbeom-ro 24-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 마포구 백범로24길 9 1층 이어커피 로스터스 - 37.5459875, 126.9452779 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9D%B4%EC%96%B4%EC%BB%A4%ED%94%BC%EB%A1%9C%EC%8A%A4%ED%84%B0%EC%8A%A4%20%EA%B3%B5%EB%8D%95%EC%A0%90/@37.5459875,126.9452779,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seongbuk-slow-kettle/eoh-coffee-roasters-gongdeok-basque-cheesecake/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
