Seoulsup chocolate cake café after tacos: whiskey Noix, Notldun

Seoulsup café cake dessert Notldun

Where is Notldun in Seoulsup, and is there parking?

Notldun is a dessert café at the far end of the main Seoulsup café street, a 3–4 minute walk from Seoulsup Station. It has no parking of its own, but there's a paid public car park nearby, so it's no hassle.

After tacos I wanted a really good dessert, and this Seoulsup cake café was where I headed. The menu is unusual, the desserts look luxurious and taste great, and once you've tried it you keep thinking about it and going back. You go up to the second floor of the building. The white-toned interior is small but neat and clean.

Notldun's signature cakes and madeleine flavors

The signature desserts are Noix and Blanc, along with Pistachio Festival and Salty Caramel. The madeleines come in plenty of flavors: lime, Earl Grey, pistachio, vanilla and raspberry.

The looks alone are overwhelming. They feel classy enough to give as gifts. There are also gift shopping bags displayed in a corner of the shop, so you can use them as samples.

Which drinks to order at Notldun

The drinks range across coffee, non-coffee, tea and ade, and this day I ordered a decaf iced Americano and a grapefruit ade. The coffee here is good too! It's a nice spot to order what you like and chat.

The premium strawberry latte and the Valrhona dark chocolate latte are tasty too, so I recommend them!

What I ordered at Notldun

At Notldun, a hot spot in Seoulsup, the staff bring your order to your table. The desserts are made fresh in the shop every day, so they're definitely tasty and high quality. You can catch a little glimpse of them being made.

When my order arrived, the presentation was sooo pretty. The grapefruit ade looks refreshing just from looking at it.

What does Notldun's whiskey chocolate Noix taste like?

Noix is basically a mini cake, with a rich, refined chocolate flavor. I always used to order the Salty Caramel dessert at Notldun, but this day I wanted the signature Noix, and the verdict: pass with flying colors!

The sweetness isn't artificial and it put me in a great mood. The almond adds a nutty richness, and there's whiskey in it too, which probably explains the lovely depth of flavor. One bite and I understood why it's Notldun's signature dessert.

Soft, melting-in-your-mouth sweet milk chocolate! It was among the best desserts I've eaten in my whole life.

Notldun's decaf iced Americano and rosemary grapefruit ade

The decaf iced Americano at this Seoulsup café smells wonderful and goes perfectly with the desserts. They seem to use good beans, and since decaf Americanos are usually hard to get right, I was even happier about it.

Coffee really is something you enjoy through the aroma too! A tasty dessert just has to be paired with an Americano.

The grapefruit ade is tangy-sweet and cold, and pretty to look at. It comes with grapefruit pieces and a sprig of rosemary on top, so it smells lovely.

How is the texture of Notldun's Earl Grey madeleine?

Madeleines are another popular dessert at Notldun, the Seoulsup hot spot, and the one I had was fluffy with a gentle Earl Grey aroma. It had a nicely plump "belly button" too -

Soft and sweet. Finding a place that does madeleines well isn't easy, but Notldun is clearly a real dessert specialist.

Why Notldun is worth a stop after a Seoulsup walk

Notldun is near Seoulsup, with lots of good eateries, plenty to see and great walking, so it's a good place to visit after a long stroll to recharge on sugar and rest. Next time I'll try the signature Blanc too.
