I had nutty iced Americanos and 11,900 won brûléed aged French toast, then found window seats with outlets ideal for working at a café. Verdict: the sweet toast and iced Americano were an especially satisfying pairing. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Wed–Fri 11:00–19:00; weekends 11:00–21:00 (closed every Mon–Tue) - **Parking**: Use a nearby public parking lot - **Window seats**: Each seat has an outlet - **Iced Americano**: ₩4,900 - **Aged French toast**: ₩11,900 - **French toast wait**: About 20 minutes - **Decaf switch**: Add ₩1,000 to the listed coffee price *as written by the visitor on Sep 9, 2026* I heard there was a newly opened toast hotspot in Mangwon-dong, so I went straight over 😍 ![Exterior of PICT Roastery in Mangwon-dong before entering](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-brulee-french-toast-cafe/mangwon-brulee-french-toast-cafe-01-1xmgt-900.webp) ## Finding PICT Roastery near Mangwon Market It is located near Mangwon Market. I followed my map app and it led me to this building—just look for the white sign you can see above! There is a small PIKT sign on the red-brick building. ![PIKT lettering on a red-brick building](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-brulee-french-toast-cafe/mangwon-brulee-french-toast-cafe-02-1xv8v-900.webp) Wow, the moment I walked in, this white-toned interior unfolded in front of me and it was so pretty,, Even the floor is pretty, haha. It has that cozy basement-level feel while keeping the interior modern and simple, so everyone at every table seemed to be getting their perfect profile shot. ![White-toned café interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-brulee-french-toast-cafe/mangwon-brulee-french-toast-cafe-03-qck2g-900.webp) ![Modern, simple café interior space](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-brulee-french-toast-cafe/mangwon-brulee-french-toast-cafe-04-1lvsf-900.webp) The lighting definitely played a part too—it was soft but still had a real presence. ## Window seats that are great for working solo at a café The window seats here are amazing too,, There is just the right amount of sunlight, you can watch people passing by, relax while looking outside, and I thought they were especially great for anyone coming alone to soak up the vibe! ![Sunlit window seats at the café](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-brulee-french-toast-cafe/mangwon-brulee-french-toast-cafe-05-1gka2-900.webp) Each window seat has an outlet, so it was perfect for bringing a laptop. ![Window seats with outlets](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-brulee-french-toast-cafe/mangwon-brulee-french-toast-cafe-06-1r2jn-868.webp) ![Window seats suitable for using a laptop](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-brulee-french-toast-cafe/mangwon-brulee-french-toast-cafe-07-rdtbm-900.webp) No matter how many times I looked, the neat white-toned interior was so pretty that I kept looking around the café, haha. ![Neat white-toned café interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-brulee-french-toast-cafe/mangwon-brulee-french-toast-cafe-08-19kuw-900.webp) ## PICT Roastery menu and ordering Here is the menu! - Coffee: Americano ₩4,900 / Café latte ₩5,500 / Vanilla latte ₩6,500 / Cappuccino ₩6,000 / Café mocha ₩6,500 / Black latte ₩6,500 - Desserts: Aged French toast ₩11,900 / Kyoto matcha Basque cheesecake ₩7,500 / Pistachio tiramisu ₩8,000 - Tea: Wedding Imperial, Marco Polo, and Jardin Bleu ₩6,500 each - Drinks: Mint lemonade ₩7,500 / Kyoto matcha latte ₩7,000 / Chocolate latte ₩6,500 - Please note that switching coffee drinks to decaf adds ₩1,000 to the listed price - !! ![PICT Roastery drink and dessert menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-brulee-french-toast-cafe/mangwon-brulee-french-toast-cafe-09-12ved-900.webp) You could choose the coffee beans, and I went with the nutty option without question. ![Coffee beans selected for a nutty flavor](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-brulee-french-toast-cafe/mangwon-brulee-french-toast-cafe-10-1h3iu-900.webp) There is drinking water and napkins by the counter, and the restroom is beside the counter too! ### What I ordered - 2 iced Americanos ₩9,800 - Aged French toast ₩11,900 They told us when ordering that the French toast would take about 20 minutes! I waited patiently while looking around at the interior. ![Aged French toast and iced Americanos](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-brulee-french-toast-cafe/mangwon-brulee-french-toast-cafe-11-c2rzm-900.webp) ![The ordered French toast and coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-brulee-french-toast-cafe/mangwon-brulee-french-toast-cafe-12-3rdll-900.webp) ## The taste of the brûléed aged French toast Wow, it already looked so fluffy that it passed the visual test right away. The coffee was about 75% nutty and 25% acidic, so the acidity was not strong enough to bother me. But it was not completely nutty either, so keep that in mind! I think it may vary by person. I just enjoyed it a lot. ![Iced Americano made with nutty coffee beans](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-brulee-french-toast-cafe/mangwon-brulee-french-toast-cafe-13-g9zfg-900.webp) ![Moist French toast topped with brûlée](https://img.superchart.com/images/mangwon-brulee-french-toast-cafe/mangwon-brulee-french-toast-cafe-14-2ho80-900.webp) The toast had a brûlée topping, and the inside was moist, so the texture was amazing 👍 It had a strong cinnamon aroma and plenty of sweet maple syrup, so it went really well with an iced Americano! Looking at the menu, there may not be many desserts, but they all seemed delicious. Next time I want to try the Kyoto matcha cheesecake or the pistachio tiramisu too. I can kind of imagine the matcha cheesecake, but I cannot even begin to picture pistachio tiramisu. Having dessert while working at a café would be such a great vibe,, 😍 I think anyone who loves aesthetic cafés will be really happy here. It suits so many occasions—solo outings, working at a café, dates, and more—so I think it will only become more popular. Come by soon and try the French toast,, ✨ ## Where it is - PICT Roastery Mangwon Branch (픽트로스터리 망원점) - 45 World Cup-ro 23-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울특별시 마포구 월드컵로23길 45 1층) - 서울특별시 마포구 월드컵로23길 45 1층 - 37.5558894, 126.9072652 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%94%BD%ED%8A%B8%EB%A1%9C%EC%8A%A4%ED%84%B0%EB%A6%AC%20%EB%A7%9D%EC%9B%90%EC%A0%90/@37.5558894,126.9072652,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-mug-table/mangwon-brulee-french-toast-cafe/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
