Above all, it was very soft and nutty. And it had a strong cheese flavor along with vanilla flavor — it felt like the first genuinely delicious Basque cheesecake I'd had in a while...❣️ I really love Starbucks' Basque cheesecake, and this one follows right behind it!!! ![Cross-section of Basque cheesecake with vanilla bean specks](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-in-focus-haenggung-bakery-cheesecake/cafe-in-focus-haenggung-bakery-cheesecake-17-xvkdz-900.webp) As for the ciabatta, it's chewy yet clean-tasting...! I was so happy my friend liked it! Hahaha. Since it's ciabatta baked fresh in-store every morning, the bread felt really fresh. ![Interior crumb of ciabatta baked fresh in-store](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-in-focus-haenggung-bakery-cheesecake/cafe-in-focus-haenggung-bakery-cheesecake-18-dgaoi-900.webp) I'm amazed they can make bakery items this delicious. Next time I visit with my friend, I'll definitely be ordering the bakery items again!! ![A spread of bakery items and drinks at Caffeine Focus](https://img.superchart.com/images/cafe-in-focus-haenggung-bakery-cheesecake/cafe-in-focus-haenggung-bakery-cheesecake-19-wdplp-900.webp) I officially declare Caffeine Focus, the big Haenggung-dong café with a Hwaseong Fortress view, a must-visit Haenggung-dong bakery spot. ## Where it is - Caffeine Focus (카페인포커스) - 15 Changnyongdae-ro 80beon-gil, Paldal-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, 1st-3rd floor - 경기도 수원시 팔달구 창룡대로80번길 15 1, 2, 3층 - 37.2857178, 127.0237154 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%B9%B4%ED%8E%98%EC%9D%B8%ED%8F%AC%EC%BB%A4%EC%8A%A4/@37.2857178,127.0237154,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@taste-for-clothes/cafe-in-focus-haenggung-bakery-cheesecake/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
