A stop for a single espresso turned into a 3-hour stay at Frolla, where the tiramisu and the season-only fig custard crostata were good enough to prompt buying a whole box of figs at the supermarket on the way home. With so many international guests inside, Frolla makes it easy to forget you are in Seongsu rather than Italy. ## Good to know - **Address**: 5 Yeonmujang 17-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul (1st floor) - **Hours**: Daily 11:00 AM – 7:00 PM - **Parking**: Not available - **Corkage**: Not allowed - **Pets**: Allowed - **Seasonal menu**: Fig custard crostata (season only) *as written by the visitor on Sep 18, 2026* Honestly I wanted to keep this one to myself, but Frolla in Seongsu is already all over foreign visitors' radar ## Where Frolla is and when it opens - 5 Yeonmujang 17-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, South Korea (1st floor) - Daily 11:00 AM – 7:00 PM - No parking, no corkage - Pets welcome How happy would you be if you turned a corner in a Seongsu alley and stumbled on a space that was entirely, completely your taste?!! ![Brunch table at Frolla, a Seongsu café](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes-01-19m9m-1200.webp) *Seongsu café brunch.jpg* ![A cup of coffee at Frolla](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes-02-15lyf-966.webp) *Seongsu café coffee.jpg* ![Tiramisu dessert at Frolla](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes-03-16q8n-966.webp) *Seongsu café tiramisu.jpg* That's exactly what Frolla, the Italian-inspired café in Seongsu, is like. ![Coffee ordered at Frolla](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes-04-19fy2-966.webp) *Seongsu coffee.jpg* ![Drink at Frolla, a Seongsu coffee spot](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes-05-gt5r8-966.webp) *Seongsu coffee spot.jpg* ![Espresso cup at Frolla](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes-06-1byu0-966.webp) *Espresso spot.jpg* ## One espresso at Frolla turned into three hours The moment you step inside Frolla, you can tell every single detail was thought through, from top to bottom ![Interior of Frolla decorated with Italian style](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes-07-1b32z-966.webp) *Italian café.jpg* Went in for one espresso, got trapped by the interior for 3 hours ![Flat white at Frolla](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes-08-92rvx-966.webp) *Flat white spot.jpg* The props and interior are so pretty I got to soak in a cozy, happy mood the whole time. About 80% of the customers were foreign, so for a second I thought I'd just landed off a plane — this Seongsu café ![Panini at Frolla](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes-09-oau2h-966.webp) *Panini spot.jpg* "Wait, are we actually in Korea?" — that's the kind of café Frolla is, a Seongsu spot that hits exactly the right taste. Anyone who loves Seongsu café coffee makes a point of coming here, and it's famous not just for the interior but for the coffee and desserts too ![Close-up of tiramisu at Frolla](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes-10-uuqfw-966.webp) *Tiramisu spot.jpg* Is this Seongsu, or is this Italy… ![Original tiramisu at Frolla](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes-11-1ldt0-966.webp) *Original tiramisu.jpg* A group of foreign visitors seemed to be having a whole meetup, so I just followed them in!! ![Frolla crowded with customers](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes-12-1l5xe-966.webp) Right in the middle of a Seongsu alley, straight-up local Italian vibes ![Frolla's space with local Italian vibes](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes-13-1svmv-966.webp) I nearly forgot to go home because I got so absorbed in the interior at Frolla in Seongsu!! ![Frolla interior and seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes-14-1pde8-966.webp) The atmosphere of the space itself is so distinctive that the whole time you're there, you're just in a good mood ## Tiramisu and the seasonal fig custard crostata The ruthless reason I raided an entire box of figs from the supermarket after leaving Seongsu In particular, the Seongsu café tiramisu — where deep, rich espresso flavor meets soft mascarpone cream — leaves a lingering aftertaste you won't forget once you've tried it. Not overly sweet, but still tastes luxurious, so it's perfect alongside coffee And on top of that, there's a seasonal item you can only get right now — the fig custard crostata. A must-try, don't-miss-it treat It's piled generously with fresh, in-season figs, so every bite bursts with texture and sweetness that fills your mouth. ![Seasonal fig custard crostata](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes-15-1uf09-966.webp) ![Cross-section of crostata topped with in-season figs](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes-16-jj6v1-966.webp) I fell so hard for figs that I stopped at the supermarket on the way home and bought a whole box — that's how satisfied I was. If you want to enjoy Seongsu café brunch and dessert without rushing, Frolla is the answer!!! ![Brunch and dessert spread at Frolla](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes-17-1dvyz-966.webp) ![Dessert and coffee on a table at Frolla](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes-18-ucyuw-966.webp) ## Browsing the homeware and taking photos at Frolla At Frolla, it's genuinely fun to browse the cute little props tucked into every corner of the store ![Cute little props placed around Frolla](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes-19-5qeqj-966.webp) ![A corner of Frolla decorated with props](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes-20-3hlpu-966.webp) You can get a dreamy profile-worthy photo no matter where you shoot. ## What time to visit Frolla to avoid the wait Frolla gets a lot of visitors on weekends and at peak hours, so there can be a wait — going a little earlier is a much more relaxed way to enjoy the space. The tiramisu and espresso combo never fails, so if it's your first visit, I'd recommend starting with that If you want a special dessert in a space full of atmosphere this weekend, visit Frolla in Seongsu. Once you've been, you'll keep wanting to go back!! ![Photo spot inside Frolla](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes-21-1hjgs-966.webp) ![Atmosphere at Frolla in Seongsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes-22-vo0un-966.webp) ![Exterior view of Frolla café](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes-23-5f17j-966.webp) ## Where it is - Frolla (프롤라) - 5 Yeonmujang 17-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, South Korea (1st floor) - 서울특별시 성동구 연무장17길 5 1층 - 37.5411749, 127.0610122 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%94%84%EB%A1%A4%EB%9D%BC/@37.5411749,127.0610122,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-roast-hours/seongsu-prolla-italian-cafe-vibes/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
