Post-escape-room café, Konkuk Univ.: Basque cheesecake, Café Ohkam

Last week I had a great time around Konkuk Univ. Station: delicious yangkkochi (lamb skewers) and an escape room. Afterwards I stopped by Café Ohkam (카페 오캄), a Konkuk Univ. café well known as a dessert hotspot. The desserts were good, of course, but the whole space is filled with such a cozy feel that I loved every minute of staying there.

How do you get to Café Ohkam from Konkuk Univ. Station? What about parking?

Café Ohkam is a 3-minute walk from Exit 2 of Konkuk Univ. Station, so it is very easy to reach. The café has no private parking lot.

If you bring a car, the nearest option is Gana Parking (가나주차장). It costs ₩2,000 for 30 minutes or ₩4,000 for 1 hour, and the café is within a 5-minute walk from the lot.

Here is the entrance of Café Ohkam, where that special mood shows from the very outside! 🧡

What is in the first-floor dessert display at Café Ohkam?

Next to the first-floor counter at Café Ohkam, a wide variety of baked goods like financiers (small almond butter cakes) and cakes are on display. Once you step inside, a huge range of desserts greets you.

There are appetizing baked goods, financiers included, and

plenty of cakes too. What sets this Konkuk Univ. dessert café apart is that the desserts are quite big compared with other cafés. I was already visually satisfied before even tasting anything.

Café Ohkam menu and prices of the desserts and drinks we ordered

This time at Café Ohkam we ordered an Einspänner (coffee topped with cream), a café latte, a plum ade, classic French toast and Basque cheesecake. On the menu I also spotted a fresh mango bingsu (shaved ice), said to be popular in summer. We ordered other desserts this time, but I really wanted to try it on my next visit.

• Einspänner 6.0
• Café latte 5.8
• Plum ade 6.5
• Classic French toast 8.9
• Basque cheesecake 7.8

This is what we ordered!

What is the atmosphere like on floors 1–3 of Café Ohkam?

Café Ohkam uses the whole building from the first to the third floor, decorated in calm, warm wood tones. After ordering, I slowly looked around the inside.

Even the stairwell between floors at this Konkuk Univ. dessert café is prettily decorated with charming props. Overall, the calm, warm wood-toned mood puts the mind at ease.🤎

Café Ohkam's mascot cat, Koko

At Café Ohkam there was also a notice about the mascot cat, Koko (코코). 🐱

There is a cute space that looks like Koko's home, along with a kind, detailed notice that made me smile :)

Café Ohkam seating and the first-floor charging zone

Café Ohkam has a nice variety of seating, so you can settle into a comfortable spot and enjoy!

In one corner of the first floor, there is a separate charging zone where guests can easily charge their smartphones. The owner's thoughtfulness and good sense really stood out :)

Cute props are placed here and there, so it is a great place for taking photos too.

The cozy atmosphere makes mirror selfies come out pretty too🤎

How were the French toast and desserts at Café Ohkam?

Café Ohkam's classic French toast looked thick and generous at first glance, and I thought it was great value. Soon our drinks and desserts arrived, and the table full of food looked so pretty!

The French toast in particular was really generous. Seeing how thick it was, I couldn't help thinking it's truly good value. That's Café Ohkam, a Konkuk Univ. dessert café that's good value too! 🧡

The drinks, coffee and desserts tasted as great as they looked. ❤ The combination of sweet desserts and clean-tasting coffee was wonderful!

There were especially many couples on dates in the café, and with the atmosphere and the lovely look of the desserts, I could see why it's so popular as a date spot.

On my way out after a lovely time, I met the mascot Koko in person at the entrance. Koko sat quietly by the door in a loaf pose, perfectly still with a cynical expression, and it was so cute. For cat lovers, this will be an extra-welcome place🐱❤
