Visiting alone, the writer ordered the classic soufflé pancake for 14,000 won and an Assam milk tea for 7,500 won, and finished both without leaving a bite, despite worrying about the portion. With a white-and-wood interior and parking on site, Petrico suits solo time and dates equally well. ## Good to know - **Classic soufflé pancake**: 14,000 won - **Assam milk tea**: 7,500 won - **Hours**: Mon–Fri 8:00–22:00 / Sat–Sun 10:00–20:00 - **Parking**: Available - **Location**: 10-minute walk from Hapjeong or Mangwon Station - **Price reference**: ₩14,000 ≈ $10 · ₩7,500 ≈ $5.4 (2026-09-21) *as written by the visitor on Sep 20, 2026* I might gain weight, but I can't give up bread. My skin might break out, but I can't quit flour. Guess I'll just live happily anyway. I heard a new café near Hapjeong Station had amazing fluffy soufflé pancakes, so this café addict rushed right over — and I fell in love with both the dessert and the warm, sentimental atmosphere. : ) ![Petrico's signature classic soufflé pancake](https://img.superchart.com/images/petrichor-hapjeong-classic-souffle-pancake/petrichor-hapjeong-classic-souffle-pancake-01-1eo4t-1200.webp) ## Where is Petrico, and what are its hours and parking?

Ah, I really need to go raid the flower market soon. ![Gerbera daisies in a corner of Petrico](https://img.superchart.com/images/petrichor-hapjeong-classic-souffle-pancake/petrichor-hapjeong-classic-souffle-pancake-09-1yfjr-966.webp) You could feel the owner's sense of style everywhere in the shop. The interior of this café near Hapjeong Station was, overall, cozy and comfortable without being over the top, and I felt good the whole time I was there. : ) ![Petrico's open kitchen, visible from outside](https://img.superchart.com/images/petrichor-hapjeong-classic-souffle-pancake/petrichor-hapjeong-classic-souffle-pancake-10-1uw60-966.webp) The kitchen is clearly visible, which makes me trust the hygiene even more. ## Petrico's menu: classic soufflé pancake 14,000 won, Assam milk tea 7,500 won Besides the soufflé pancake, Petrico has a fairly wide range of desserts. I want to try the tart next time. Not many places sell granita, but they have that too ❤️ Classic Soufflé Pancake ₩14,000 / Assam Milk Tea ₩7,500 ![Classic soufflé pancake and Assam milk tea served together](https://img.superchart.com/images/petrichor-hapjeong-classic-souffle-pancake/petrichor-hapjeong-classic-souffle-pancake-11-1sr8a-966.webp) I'm not a big fan of pancakes topped with fruit, so I ordered the classic, and for the drink I went with the milk tea the owner recommended. ![A plate of fluffy classic soufflé pancake](https://img.superchart.com/images/petrichor-hapjeong-classic-souffle-pancake/petrichor-hapjeong-classic-souffle-pancake-12-17kjb-966.webp) Doesn't it look super fluffy just by looking at it? Honestly I was worried about leaving some behind since I was alone, but yeah... I finished that whole thing by myself. ![Blueberry spread, maple syrup, and butter accompaniments](https://img.superchart.com/images/petrichor-hapjeong-classic-souffle-pancake/petrichor-hapjeong-classic-souffle-pancake-13-aj75o-966.webp) Blueberry spread, maple syrup, and butter — the fundamental combo, good good. >_< ## How did the classic soufflé pancake taste? Ah.... I wanted to drizzle the maple syrup more prettily, but.... this is the sad part of going alone. ㅠㅠ Honestly you don't even need a knife — it's soft enough to just eat with a fork. ![A soft bite of soufflé pancake lifted with a fork](https://img.superchart.com/images/petrichor-hapjeong-classic-souffle-pancake/petrichor-hapjeong-classic-souffle-pancake-14-m2r5v-966.webp) Full egg + butter flavor, and it just melts in your mouth... melts.... ㅠㅠㅠㅠ ![A slice of pancake with egg and butter flavor](https://img.superchart.com/images/petrichor-hapjeong-classic-souffle-pancake/petrichor-hapjeong-classic-souffle-pancake-15-1hhms-966.webp) My favorite Isigny butter! I stock up on it even at home, hehe. Personally, I'm still team salted over unsalted..^.^ ![Soufflé pancake topped with Isigny butter](https://img.superchart.com/images/petrichor-hapjeong-classic-souffle-pancake/petrichor-hapjeong-classic-souffle-pancake-16-1fxj6-966.webp) The pancake itself has a mild, subtle flavor, so it went well with everything — butter, blueberry jam, maple syrup — but my personal favorite pairing was the butter. ![Cross-section of the soufflé pancake](https://img.superchart.com/images/petrichor-hapjeong-classic-souffle-pancake/petrichor-hapjeong-classic-souffle-pancake-17-as66i-966.webp) Let me show you that gorgeous cross-section one more time... ah, I want to eat it again already. ## Assam milk tea served in a bottle, with leftovers to take home ![Assam milk tea served in a bottle](https://img.superchart.com/images/petrichor-hapjeong-classic-souffle-pancake/petrichor-hapjeong-classic-souffle-pancake-18-xsfy2-966.webp) When I said I was worried I'd get too full drinking milk tea with the pancake, the owner said it comes in a bottle so I could take home whatever's left. Um? Leftover? What leftover? The milk tea wasn't too sweet, with a pleasant bitterness, and it paired so well with the pancake. ![Table cleared of both pancake and milk tea](https://img.superchart.com/images/petrichor-hapjeong-classic-souffle-pancake/petrichor-hapjeong-classic-souffle-pancake-19-1f7p7-966.webp) I really underestimated myself. Finished the milk tea, finished the pancake, right? Awkward laugh^^7 But... okay yes, I am a pig, but honestly, it was so good I couldn't NOT finish it, okay?? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ For real. ## Who should visit Petrico? - A comfortable yet sentimental vibe good for dates, working on a laptop, or spending time alone - Both Hapjeong and Mangwon are about a 10-minute walk, plus parking makes it even more accessible - The fluffy, soft soufflé pancakes are genuinely delicious If you're looking for a café near Hapjeong Station or a soufflé pancake spot near Hongdae, definitely give Petrico a visit. : ) ## Where it is - Petrico (페트리코) - 75 Jandari-ro, 1st floor, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 마포구 잔다리로 75 1층 - 37.5541165, 126.9162251 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%8E%98%ED%8A%B8%EB%A6%AC%EC%BD%94/@37.5541165,126.9162251,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@weekday-skin-journal/petrichor-hapjeong-classic-souffle-pancake/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
