Decaf Marco Polo Rouge café in Seomyeon, Busan: lemon cream pie, Hippy

Today I'm sharing a review of Hippy, a café in Jeonpo that I visited on a Jeonpo date. It had a great atmosphere and tasty desserts, so let's get started!

Where is Hippy in Seomyeon and Jeonpo, and what are the hours?

Hippy is at 12 Dongseong-ro 25beon-gil, Busanjin-gu, Busan (1st floor), and it's open daily from 11:00 to 22:00. Pets are allowed, there's a takeout discount, groups are welcome, and takeout and delivery are available. Parking is not possible.

Come out of Jeonpo Station Exit 4 and look for the alley across from Dongseong Elementary School. If you see a red brick house with plant decor, that's Hippy! It's on the Jeonpo café street side, so it's easy to reach and a perfect spot for a Jeonpo date.

What's the atmosphere at Hippy like, and is it good for a date?

Hippy specializes in cream pies and fluffy cake rolls. The whole place feels cozy and warm, so it was perfect for a Seomyeon date. It opens early and closes late, so even among Jeonpo cafés the hours are long, and you can take your time!

It felt fine for chatting with friends, and there were people who came alone too. The tables are nicely spaced and it's fairly quiet, so talking was comfortable. It also looked like a great place for an outing on a nice spring or summer day.

A separate back room with two tables

If you go out the back, there's another room!! It has two tables and is pretty quiet. The mood is so nice that quite a few groups of friends were taking selfies, so it seems like a good Seomyeon café for photos too!

What are Hippy's cream pies and fluffy roll cakes like?

Hippy reportedly makes all its desserts in the shop. They follow a made-today, sold-today rule, and you can definitely taste the freshness.

The cream pies and fluffy roll cakes were prettily displayed.

The cream pies have cream and toppings on pastry folded many times. The layered look is so pretty you almost hate to eat it! The fluffy roll cakes have a soft, mild cream base, so they looked easy to enjoy without feeling heavy. Each dessert felt made in Hippy's own style, which made them seem even more special.

What I ordered at Hippy: Marco Polo Rouge, latte and lemon cream pie

We ordered Marco Polo Rouge (hot), a latte (iced), and a fresh, zesty lemon cream pie. The tea is from the French brand Mariage Frères. You can also get one refill of the tea, so you can take your time.

When you order, they give you a Hippy buzzer, and it was so cute! haha

Our drinks and dessert arrived!

There were teddy bears and decor props on the table, so it's great for taking photos with your order!

Decaf Marco Polo Rouge if caffeine is a worry

Hippy's Marco Polo Rouge is a decaf tea with a rooibos base and a slight hint of orange. I don't handle caffeinated drinks well, and a staff member recommended Marco Polo Rouge, so I chose it. Being decaf, it was no worry at all. It went really well with the sweet dessert, too.

The latte was smooth and clean-tasting, easy to enjoy. Overall the drink quality felt decent.

How does Hippy's lemon cream pie taste?

And now the lemon cream pie I'd been looking forward to! It looked fresh and pretty, great for photos.

It was piled with cream, which made it look even tastier.

I tried my best to cut it neatly haha

On the first bite, the cream was really smooth with real depth. It wasn't an artificial sweetness but a natural, clean one, which I liked even more.

The lemon's brightness came through just enough, so it wasn't cloying and I kept going back for more, addictive! It was so good with the tea. A true Seomyeon dessert spot, I'll give it that 👍

Would I recommend Hippy as a Seomyeon date café?

Overall, Hippy's dessert quality is high and I was quite satisfied. Add the atmosphere, and I can happily recommend it as a Seomyeon date café. If you're looking for a café with a nice mood in Seomyeon, Hippy is worth a visit. Dessert lovers will especially be happy!
