After-work coffee and its crisp Bocado dessert made a lovely finish to a Seongsu date. Verdict: a satisfying stop for a special sweet treat after an evening in Seongsu. Today I’m going to tell you about an outing to Seongsu-dong that I took on a weekday evening after work. ![Starting an after-work outing in Seongsu-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-coconut-bocado-butter/seongsu-coconut-bocado-butter-01-l00hy-1200.webp) Every time I visit Seongsu-dong, I get excited because it is always full of new hot spots and things to see. These days especially, the pop-up-store scene is buzzing, so there is plenty of fun browsing to do. That day, I met my husband in Seongsu-dong after a long time, had dinner, enjoyed a light walk and a little shopping, then visited a place called Bocado Butter Seongsu Main Store (보카도버터 성수 본점) to end the day with a sweet dessert. ![An outing in Seongsu-dong in search of a dessert café](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-coconut-bocado-butter/seongsu-coconut-bocado-butter-02-1okvf-900.webp) I have been to countless cafés in Seongsu-dong, but this one really stood out because it had a special dessert I had never encountered before. ![A special dessert at Bocado Butter in Seongsu-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-coconut-bocado-butter/seongsu-coconut-bocado-butter-03-15ioa-900.webp) I completely fell for its crisp texture and subtle coconut aroma—let me introduce it properly! ## Soaking up Seongsu’s lively after-work energy For office workers, time after work is more precious than anything, right? After making my way through Seoul’s busy subway system, I arrived at Seongsu Station, which was still full of energy despite it being a weekday evening. Trendy clothing shops and little lifestyle stores caught my eye all along the streets, while hip cafés and restaurants filled even the back alleys, making it so much fun to look around. ![Street view around Seongsu Station on a weekday evening](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-coconut-bocado-butter/seongsu-coconut-bocado-butter-04-g3k2p-900.webp) After a satisfying dinner, we took a leisurely walk. As the sun set and the lights gradually came on, Seongsu-dong had a charm quite different from the daytime. Everyone passing by seemed more relaxed, and we had a great time browsing the various pop-up stores, shopping, and taking photos. ![Enjoying pop-up stores and shopping in Seongsu-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-coconut-bocado-butter/seongsu-coconut-bocado-butter-05-1ve3s-900.webp) After walking around for quite a while, our legs were starting to ache, and it was time for that essential post-meal pairing: “a sweet dessert and an iced Americano.” Wondering where to go, I headed to Bocado Butter, a place I had bookmarked after searching because it is known for its coconut desserts—and I do love coconut. ## The atmosphere at Bocado Butter near Seongsu Station Bocado Butter was not far from Seongsu Station, so it was easy to get to. ![Exterior of Bocado Butter café near Seongsu Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-coconut-bocado-butter/seongsu-coconut-bocado-butter-06-fj5jt-900.webp) The exterior was neat yet cute, and the warm light visible through the windows seemed to beckon us inside. As soon as we entered, a nutty coconut scent tickled my nose. ![The entrance to Bocado Butter, with a coconut scent in the air](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-coconut-bocado-butter/seongsu-coconut-bocado-butter-07-14tju-900.webp) The space was not very large, but its cozy, comfortable atmosphere made it perfect for quietly chatting as we wrapped up a tiring day. ![The cozy interior of Bocado Butter café](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-coconut-bocado-butter/seongsu-coconut-bocado-butter-08-uaubg-900.webp) The cute little objects and stylish interior stood out. Looking over the menu board in front of the counter, I saw plenty of tempting desserts alongside the drinks. I was especially curious about the coconut-based desserts, Bocado Butter’s signature offerings. ![Bocado Butter menu with coconut desserts](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-coconut-bocado-butter/seongsu-coconut-bocado-butter-09-c2nvx-900.webp) ## My first crisp Bocado We ordered an iced Americano and the café’s signature dessert, Bocado. I had been curious because the name was unfamiliar: it is a dessert made by spreading cream, jam, or other fillings between crisp, cookie-like sheets. Since it was completely new to us, we decided to enjoy the pure flavor with equal parts anticipation and excitement. When I saw the Bocado and iced Americano presented neatly on a wooden tray, I could not help but exclaim at the visual appeal first. The Bocado in particular came wrapped in paper, with a yellow striped pattern and a cute logo, so I simply had to take a photo. ![Bocado in paper wrapping with coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-coconut-bocado-butter/seongsu-coconut-bocado-butter-10-1jtni-900.webp) I tasted the Bocado, which I had been most curious about, first. Once I unwrapped it, I saw layers of thin, crisp-looking sheets. The moment I took a bite, it went “crunch!” and a nutty flavor filled my mouth. ![Layered crisp Bocado sheets](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-coconut-bocado-butter/seongsu-coconut-bocado-butter-11-ka3pb-900.webp) The texture was completely unlike any waffle or crêpe I had tried before. It was wonderfully crisp, like eating a thin cookie, while the subtle sweetness and nuttiness that came through as I chewed were so appealing. ![Bocado dessert with a crisp texture](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-coconut-bocado-butter/seongsu-coconut-bocado-butter-12-flmfg-900.webp) Were the layers spread with sweet cream or a jam-like sauce? The sweetness was not overpowering, so I could enjoy it easily. Above all, that crunchy texture kept making me reach for another bite; even while talking with my husband, I could not stop eating it. It was truly a magical texture! ## Bocado and iced Americano together An iced Americano with the sweet Bocado was truly a match made in heaven. Bocado Butter’s Americano had a balanced acidity and nutty flavor that did an excellent job of cleanly cutting through the dessert’s sweetness. ![Iced Americano served with Bocado](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-coconut-bocado-butter/seongsu-coconut-bocado-butter-13-1ommy-900.webp) Just seeing the glass full of ice made me feel refreshed. Taking a cool sip through the straw cleared my palate and made the Bocado even more delicious. It was quite hot that day, so I had been craving cold coffee; the Bocado’s crunch and the Americano’s chill came together for a perfect break. ![The pairing of cold coffee and crisp Bocado](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-coconut-bocado-butter/seongsu-coconut-bocado-butter-14-1oavc-900.webp) ## A Seongsu dessert café that makes me look forward to returning My time at Bocado Butter was truly satisfying. The Bocado, which I was trying for the first time, was even more delicious than I expected, and its crisp texture and gentle sweetness had a charm that kept lingering in my mind. ![Gently sweet Bocado dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-coconut-bocado-butter/seongsu-coconut-bocado-butter-15-1lcf9-900.webp) Next time, I especially want to try it with coconut ice cream or cream. Just imagining sweet, cold ice cream on top of those crisp sheets made my mouth water! ![Bocado anticipated with a coconut ice cream pairing](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-coconut-bocado-butter/seongsu-coconut-bocado-butter-16-y0jix-900.webp) Not only were the desserts delicious, but the atmosphere was cozy too, so I think it would make a wonderful Seongsu date stop. It is a great place to visit when you want to step away from Seongsu-dong’s busy streets for a moment, relax, and try a special dessert. Seongsu-dong is always full of new delights. ![Café time wrapping up an outing in Seongsu-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-coconut-bocado-butter/seongsu-coconut-bocado-butter-17-1ypyg-900.webp) With its various pop-up stores, sights to see, and delicious desserts, this after-work outing to Seongsu-dong was such a fun experience that brought energy back to everyday life.
