At Frolla we ordered the truffle Parma sandwich, the lemon gelato cream soda and a sheep-shaped biscotti, and both the flavours and the room felt like a trip to Italy. Frolla is a satisfying stop if you want an un-Korean brunch in Seongsu. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Daily 11:00-19:00 - **Terrace seating**: Terrace seats in front of the café - **How to order**: At the counter or by QR code (Naver order) *as written by the visitor on Aug 26, 2026* ## Frolla: an Italian brunch café near Seongsu Station Frolla is a Seongsu café known for its Italian brunch — one of the best in the area, honestly.

It had a distinct character that fit right in with the Seongsu-dong vibe. ![Menu in front of Frolla](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-italian-brunch-lemon-soda-frolla/seongsu-italian-brunch-lemon-soda-frolla-02-i9z2x-m-900.webp) *Menu* There was also a menu board out front. ![Menu board in front of Frolla](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-italian-brunch-lemon-soda-frolla/seongsu-italian-brunch-lemon-soda-frolla-03-1p8vj-900.webp) *Menu* I liked being able to check the menu on the board outside before even walking in. ![Terrace seating in front of Frolla](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-italian-brunch-lemon-soda-frolla/seongsu-italian-brunch-lemon-soda-frolla-04-8alv9-900.webp) *Terrace seating* There's also terrace seating out front, great for a nice day — it made the whole thing feel even more like being abroad. ## Inside Frolla: modern room, colourful menu boards The inside was just as modern and clean as the outside. It wasn't a huge space, but there were plenty of tables and seats, and both were spacious enough to sit back comfortably. The store also had various café merchandise on display — the MD items matched the café's vibe, with sharp, pretty design. Just browsing the merch was fun in itself. ![Table menu at Frolla](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-italian-brunch-lemon-soda-frolla/seongsu-italian-brunch-lemon-soda-frolla-05-lppvg-m-900.webp) *Menu* Each table had its own menu. ![Table menu layout at Frolla](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-italian-brunch-lemon-soda-frolla/seongsu-italian-brunch-lemon-soda-frolla-06-1zii6-900.webp) ![Table menu information at Frolla](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-italian-brunch-lemon-soda-frolla/seongsu-italian-brunch-lemon-soda-frolla-07-1e14l-900.webp) ![Colorful menu board at Frolla](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-italian-brunch-lemon-soda-frolla/seongsu-italian-brunch-lemon-soda-frolla-08-png1d-900.webp) ![Page of Frolla's menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-italian-brunch-lemon-soda-frolla/seongsu-italian-brunch-lemon-soda-frolla-09-1pk77-900.webp) ![Detail of Frolla's menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-italian-brunch-lemon-soda-frolla/seongsu-italian-brunch-lemon-soda-frolla-10-8l5wk-900.webp) ![Design of Frolla's menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-italian-brunch-lemon-soda-frolla/seongsu-italian-brunch-lemon-soda-frolla-11-b8zf0-m-900.webp) ![Café menu at Frolla](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-italian-brunch-lemon-soda-frolla/seongsu-italian-brunch-lemon-soda-frolla-12-9kgvq-900.webp) The menu itself matched the café too — colorful and pretty, with a real sense of design. At the counter, the peach tiramisu and regular tiramisu on sale were on display, so you could see the real thing — super cute. The café also sells sheep-shaped biscotti, which was ridiculously cute — cute but also very on-brand for the café, which made it even more distinctive. ![Ordering information at Frolla](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-italian-brunch-lemon-soda-frolla/seongsu-italian-brunch-lemon-soda-frolla-13-zeex2-900.webp) *Ordering* ## How QR ordering works and what's on Frolla's Italian menu You could order at the counter or scan a QR code to order through Naver, which was convenient.

They also sell Italian cocktails like Aperol Spritz, Campari Spritz, and Espresso Martini.

The desserts, too, leaned Italian, with tiramisu, biscotti, and more offering plenty of variety.

After ordering, the cookie was handed over straight from the counter display, while the brunch and drink were freshly made and brought to my table. ![Lemon gelato cream soda](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-italian-brunch-lemon-soda-frolla/seongsu-italian-brunch-lemon-soda-frolla-20-jfoke-900.webp) *Lemon gelato cream soda* First up, the lemon gelato cream soda — a cool, sweet soda topped with lemon sorbet, and on top of that, a tangy lemon cream. It was a refreshing, tangy drink perfect for summer. I scooped up the sorbet part first — it was like a cool, sweet granita, great for quenching thirst and perfect for this hot weather. On top of that, the soda itself was cool and sweet, and instead of regular cream, the lemon cream added a tangy note, making it an ideal cool, sweet-tart drink for hot days. Personally, it reminded me of Amalfi in Italy — exotic and sweet-tart, and I enjoyed every bit of it. ![Truffle Parma sandwich](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-italian-brunch-lemon-soda-frolla/seongsu-italian-brunch-lemon-soda-frolla-21-e2jdz-900.webp) *Truffle Parma* ## Is Frolla's Parma sandwich worth it? Truffle aroma all through Next, the truffle Parma sandwich. As soon as it arrived, the truffle scent hit me, and as a truffle lover, I was already excited. The freshly made brunch sandwich was on ciabatta bread, packed with truffle, mozzarella, prosciutto, tomato, mushroom, and vegetables. ![Truffle Parma brunch sandwich](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-italian-brunch-lemon-soda-frolla/seongsu-italian-brunch-lemon-soda-frolla-22-18wa1-900.webp) *Truffle Parma* The truffle flavor was on point, and combined with the salty prosciutto and tomato, the overall combination felt exotic and almost artistic — delicate, distinctive, and delicious, with a real sense of quality. On top of that, the ciabatta had melted mozzarella on top, so you got the umami of the ciabatta itself along with the gooey cheese — the combination was excellent. Honestly, the best-quality sandwich I've had in a while. ![Sheep-shaped biscotti cookie](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-italian-brunch-lemon-soda-frolla/seongsu-italian-brunch-lemon-soda-frolla-23-1wkcs-900.webp) *Biscotti* ## Frolla's sheep-shaped biscotti, one of Seoul's cutest café desserts Lastly, I ordered the sheep-shaped biscotti for dessert mostly for the cute look, but it wasn't just cute — it tasted great too, a crunchy chocolate cookie studded with nuts, nutty and delicious. Pairing it with coffee was a great combination — fun to look at before eating, and fun to eat too with that nutty, delicious flavor. Even the cookie ended up tasting way better than I expected. ![Brunch meal at Frolla](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-italian-brunch-lemon-soda-frolla/seongsu-italian-brunch-lemon-soda-frolla-24-6rop4-900.webp) The brunch was packed with authentic Italian flavor, like I'd actually traveled there — I enjoyed every bite. The drink and the biscotti cookie I ordered alongside it were both delicious too, so overall it was a truly satisfying meal. ## Where it is - Frolla (프롤라) - 5 Yeonmujang 17-gil, 1st floor, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 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-tumbler-pages/seongsu-italian-brunch-lemon-soda-frolla/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
