Wangsimni café for round two after makhoe: chocolate latte, Eojil In

In short

Eojil In Wangsimni Station Branch (어질 인) is a two-floor café about 35 m from Exit 6 of Wangsimni Station in Seongdong, Seoul, serving house-roasted coffee and bakery items baked daily. After a makhoe (thinly sliced raw fish) dinner in Wangsimni with a friend, the writer ordered milk tea, chocolate latte, Basque cheesecake, a classic financier and a vanilla madeleine, and the dense, rich Basque cheesecake was the favorite. Open until 10:30 p.m., Eojil In Wangsimni Station Branch is worth revisiting as a second-round dessert stop after dinner.

Eojil In coffee and non-coffee drinks

Eojil In takes coffee seriously too. They say they have a separate roasting space and roast their own beans to serve fresh, well-balanced coffee.

It felt hefty, like it was packed full, with a deep cheese flavor. This was my favorite item. I highly recommend iiit.. 🎀

Classic financier at Eojil In

The financier (a small French almond-butter cake) is crisp outside and moist inside, a baked treat with a nutty flavor and chewy texture,

Eojil In's classic financier is slightly crisp on the outside and moist inside, so it pairs perfectly with milk tea or chocolate latte.

Vanilla madeleine at Eojil In

The subtle vanilla aroma is charming. It's nicely filled inside and the sweet scent spreads softly. A great spot for baked treats :)
