We tried Basque cheesecake, lemon madeleines, Valrhona chocolate financiers, and two iced Americanos in its spacious two-floor space. Verdict: Eojil In is a lovely stop for desserts and clean-tasting decaf coffee near Wangsimni Station. ## Good to know - **Location**: Directly in front of Wangsimni Station Exit 6 - **Seating**: Seats on the first and second floors - **Ordered**: Basque cheesecake, lemon madeleine, Valrhona chocolate financier, iced Americano, decaf iced Americano *as written by the visitor on Sep 10, 2026* 🧀 While looking for a dessert café with all kinds of baked treats, from Basque cheesecake to financiers and madeleines, I found the bakery café Eojil In (어질 인)🥐 The dessert selection looked so varied that I went straight there with a friend🤎 ![Eojil In bakery café selling a variety of desserts](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee-01-1szmw-900.webp) ## How close is it to Wangsimni Station Exit 6? > Eojil In Bakery It is right in front of Wangsimni Station Exit 6, so the access was seriously great👍 It was so close that you could practically call it a three-second walk after leaving the exit, so finding it was easy too haha. For anyone looking for a café near Wangsimni Station, it is such a convenient location! ## The spacious two-floor space and finding a seat > Inside the café ![Interior space at Eojil In Wangsimni Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee-02-w5fhq-900.webp) From the outside, I thought it would be a small café, but once I went in, the space was much bigger than expected, with seating on the second floor too. ![Café interior with seating on the second floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee-03-ee8kd-900.webp) I was surprised that it was packed even though I visited on a weekday. I recommend grabbing a seat first before choosing your desserts~ ![Second-floor seating area at Eojil In café](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee-04-uelzx-900.webp) ### Second floor The stairs are more nerve-racking than you might expect, so be careful haha. The second floor had an overall cozy atmosphere, with wood-toned tables and chairs alongside warm lighting. Sunlight came in through the windows, making it nice for a relaxed coffee, and there was even an area with bookshelves that felt comforting. Each seat had a slightly different mood, so it was fun choosing one that suited your taste haha. ## What baked treats and cakes are there? > Menu and prices ![Eojil In Bakery menu and price guide](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee-05-k6llw-900.webp) ![Eojil In café menu guide](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee-06-ss0wa-900.webp) ![Eojil In dessert menu display](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee-07-2zuy2-900.webp) ![Display case with a variety of bakery items](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee-08-1m4m9-900.webp) Then we headed down to choose desserts in earnest, and the moment I saw the bakery display, the happy dilemma began… haha. There were so many madeleines alone—lemon, vanilla, Earl Grey, chocolate, and more—and several financiers too, from the classic kind to ones with chocolate or cream cheese 🥖🥐 ![Bakery display with a variety of madeleines and financiers](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee-09-u5iyb-900.webp) ![Various baked treats and desserts](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee-10-1nft9-900.webp) I also spotted classic egg tarts and rich chocolate cake, and honestly wanted to try every single one😋 There were even pretty packaging boxes that totally won over my girly heart! Completely my style🩷🩷 ![Eojil In dessert packaging box](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee-11-qy89c-900.webp) ![Bakery café with pretty packaging boxes](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee-12-10ue6-900.webp) After much deliberation, we chose the Basque cheesecake, lemon madeleine, and Valrhona chocolate financier. For drinks, we ordered an iced Americano and a decaf iced Americano. ![Order of cheesecake, baked treats, and iced Americanos](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee-13-cjwm0-1200.webp) Two women visited, ordered three desserts and two drinks—five things in all~~ My friend's boyfriend saw the photo and messaged her, asking, “Did just the two of you go? How many desserts is that?” ^^;; ... Isn't that normal? haha. We both love dessert, and everything looked so good that we simply could not give up even one🥹 ![Three desserts and two drinks](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee-14-omswu-900.webp) ## How was the Valrhona chocolate financier? First up, the Valrhona chocolate financier was the one my friend exclaimed was seriously delicious after one biteㅠㅠ It had that rich, nutty flavor unique to financiers, plus a proper chocolate taste🤎 ![Valrhona chocolate financier](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee-15-1xejx-900.webp) The outside was deeply baked, while the inside was moist and substantial, making it a perfect match for coffee. ![Deeply baked chocolate financier](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee-16-1pjbc-900.webp) The chocolate was not vaguely sweet—it was rich and deep, so I would recommend it to anyone who loves chocolate desserts. ![Chocolate dessert and financier](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee-17-kygmu-900.webp) ## Lemon madeleine and Basque cheesecake Thanks to the thin lemon glaze on top, the lemon madeleine was sweet with a gentle fresh tang. The lemon flavor was neither too strong nor sour; it spread softly, making it easy to enjoy. ![Lemon madeleine with lemon glaze](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee-18-1xsmn-900.webp) It also refreshed the palate nicely between the substantial cheesecake and chocolate financier. ![Cheesecake, madeleine, and financier](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee-19-14og9-900.webp) As for the Basque cheesecake, what more is there to say… haha. The top was golden-baked, and the inside was dense yet smooth. ![Cut cross-section of Basque cheesecake](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee-20-1e1eh-900.webp) You can feel the density of the cheese just from the cut surface in the photo, right? >_< Eating it with the rich crumble layer at the bottom made the texture and flavor even fuller, and because it was not overly sweet, I kept reaching for more. Even Eojil In's matchbox and tissues were cute...🤎 ![Cute Eojil In tissue and desserts](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee-21-lf83k-900.webp) ![Café tissue placed with desserts](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee-22-10o2d-900.webp) ## Was the decaf Americano satisfying too? The desserts were delicious, but unexpectedly, I was really happy with the coffee too. When I order decaf at cafés, I often find that the aroma or flavor feels a little lacking, but ![Decaf Americano served with dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee-23-ccp6j-900.webp) Eojil In Bakery's decaf Americano was clean-tasting and good alongside dessert. I hope people who regularly enjoy decaf give it a try too. I thought it was just a place that did desserts well, but there were lots of staff and every one of them was so, so kind👍🩷 It is a great coffee spot too! With its convenient location right by Wangsimni Station, spacious two-floor space, cozy interior, and varied baked treats and cakes, Eojil In was a Wangsimni Station café I would recommend if you are looking for dessert💛 ![Desserts and space at Eojil In café near Wangsimni Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee-24-8sp0f-900.webp) If you would like to try Basque cheesecake, madeleines, and financiers together at a café near Wangsimni Station, give it a visit. Next time, I am planning to try the egg tart and other kinds of financiers that I missed this time~~ haha. ## Where it is - Eojil In Wangsimni Station Branch (어질 인 왕십리역점) - 1F–2F, 18 Majo-ro 9-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울특별시 성동구 마조로9길 18 1, 2층 어질 인) - 서울특별시 성동구 마조로9길 18 1, 2층 어질 인 - 37.5613324, 127.0395924 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%96%B4%EC%A7%88%20%EC%9D%B8%20%EC%99%95%EC%8B%AD%EB%A6%AC%EC%97%AD%EC%A0%90/@37.5613324,127.0395924,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-cafe-saucer/wangsimni-agilin-dessert-coffee/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
