After work, I returned alone for mugwort terrine and cold brew at a window seat. I liked the subtle mugwort aroma and dense texture, though it was busier than expected on a weekday evening. ## Good to know - **Address**: 27 Seongmisan-ro 29an-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - **Hours**: As listed in the original post on Sep 3, 2026: daily 8:30 AM–11 PM - **Ordered**: Mugwort terrine and cold brew - **Terrine**: Flourless terrine cakes - **Seating**: Window seats for one or two people and large shared tables - **Parking**: No on-site parking *as written by the visitor on Sep 3, 2026* Jitheunsan (짙은산) in Yeonnam-dong is a café I have returned to several times whenever I craved terrine.

The familiar space felt comfortable, but it was more crowded than I expected on the weekday evening I visited. ![Visiting Jitheunsan, a Yeonnam-dong dessert café](https://img.superchart.com/images/jitheunsan-yeonnam-mugwort-terrine/jitheunsan-yeonnam-mugwort-terrine-01-1e7mg-900.webp) ![Jitheunsan, a Yeonnam-dong café revisited after work](https://img.superchart.com/images/jitheunsan-yeonnam-mugwort-terrine/jitheunsan-yeonnam-mugwort-terrine-02-15rja-900.webp) ![Jitheunsan in Yeonnam-dong, visited for a solo break](https://img.superchart.com/images/jitheunsan-yeonnam-mugwort-terrine/jitheunsan-yeonnam-mugwort-terrine-03-1prnk-900.webp) ## Where is Jitheunsan, and is parking available? The address is 27 Seongmisan-ro 29an-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea, on the first floor. At the entrance is a sign shaped like a summit marker. It suited the café's name, and I sometimes saw people taking photos in front of the entrance. ![Jitheunsan entrance sign resembling a summit marker](https://img.superchart.com/images/jitheunsan-yeonnam-mugwort-terrine/jitheunsan-yeonnam-mugwort-terrine-04-13vam-900.webp) ![Jitheunsan entrance in Yeonnam-dong with its distinctive sign](https://img.superchart.com/images/jitheunsan-yeonnam-mugwort-terrine/jitheunsan-yeonnam-mugwort-terrine-05-tsuhz-900.webp) The hours listed when the original post was written were 8:30 AM to 11 PM daily. On-site parking is not available. The original post mentions the Yeonnam-dong Public Parking Lot, Yeonnam 4 Street Public Parking Lot, and Yeonnam 3 Public Parking Lot nearby. I took public transportation. ![Jitheunsan, a Yeonnam-dong café reached by public transportation](https://img.superchart.com/images/jitheunsan-yeonnam-mugwort-terrine/jitheunsan-yeonnam-mugwort-terrine-06-1ej4a-900.webp) ![Jitheunsan in Yeonnam-dong, visited for terrine](https://img.superchart.com/images/jitheunsan-yeonnam-mugwort-terrine/jitheunsan-yeonnam-mugwort-terrine-07-1y0r5-900.webp) ![Jitheunsan, a terrine-focused café in Yeonnam-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/jitheunsan-yeonnam-mugwort-terrine/jitheunsan-yeonnam-mugwort-terrine-08-j43dt-900.webp) ## What is terrine, and what did I choose? Jitheunsan specializes in flourless terrine cakes. Rather than light and fluffy cake, they have a dense, rich texture. I liked how each bite felt substantial yet melted softly, so I often thought of this terrine when I came to Yeonnam-dong. ![Terrine dessert at Jitheunsan in Yeonnam-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/jitheunsan-yeonnam-mugwort-terrine/jitheunsan-yeonnam-mugwort-terrine-09-1ndct-900.webp) ![Jitheunsan terrine dessert with a dense texture](https://img.superchart.com/images/jitheunsan-yeonnam-mugwort-terrine/jitheunsan-yeonnam-mugwort-terrine-10-1u3u6-900.webp) I chose the mugwort terrine again. Because I like mugwort's subtle, nutty aroma, I naturally went for the same flavor. I ordered cold brew to drink with it. ![Mugwort terrine ordered at Jitheunsan in Yeonnam-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/jitheunsan-yeonnam-mugwort-terrine/jitheunsan-yeonnam-mugwort-terrine-11-1xke3-900.webp) ![Jitheunsan terrine chosen again for its mugwort aroma](https://img.superchart.com/images/jitheunsan-yeonnam-mugwort-terrine/jitheunsan-yeonnam-mugwort-terrine-12-148bd-900.webp) ## What was it like sitting alone on a weekday evening? I came to enjoy coffee and dessert quietly on my own, but there were quite a lot of customers even on that weekday evening. It is worth keeping in mind if you are expecting a quiet atmosphere. ![Inside Jitheunsan café on a weekday evening](https://img.superchart.com/images/jitheunsan-yeonnam-mugwort-terrine/jitheunsan-yeonnam-mugwort-terrine-13-1o4u7-900.webp) ![Jitheunsan seating on a solo visit](https://img.superchart.com/images/jitheunsan-yeonnam-mugwort-terrine/jitheunsan-yeonnam-mugwort-terrine-14-attdm-900.webp) I sat by the window. Inside, there were window seats for one or two people as well as large tables where several people could sit together. It looked suitable for taking a break alone or stopping by with friends or a partner. Looking out the window for a little while suited me well after work. ![Jitheunsan window seat for a brief post-work break](https://img.superchart.com/images/jitheunsan-yeonnam-mugwort-terrine/jitheunsan-yeonnam-mugwort-terrine-15-1b10h-900.webp) ## Did the mugwort terrine and cold brew work well together? I could feel the terrine's dense texture from the moment I cut it with a fork. Its mugwort aroma came through subtly, and the texture was substantial. To my taste, it was not a dessert where only the sweetness stood out, so it went well with coffee. ![Mugwort terrine and cold brew at Jitheunsan](https://img.superchart.com/images/jitheunsan-yeonnam-mugwort-terrine/jitheunsan-yeonnam-mugwort-terrine-16-1fxnf-1200.webp) I like pairing dense terrine with nutty coffee. This cold brew also felt like a clean finish after the mugwort terrine, so I was satisfied. There were several drink options besides coffee. I chose the familiar mugwort terrine again this time, but next time I would like to try another flavor I have not had yet. It is a place I will think of again when I want to take a short break with a dense dessert and coffee. ![A visit to Jitheunsan in Yeonnam-dong for mugwort terrine](https://img.superchart.com/images/jitheunsan-yeonnam-mugwort-terrine/jitheunsan-yeonnam-mugwort-terrine-17-k5i80-900.webp) ## Where it is - Jitheunsan (짙은산) - 27 Seongmisan-ro 29an-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 마포구 성미산로29안길 27 1층 - 37.5656125, 126.9235028 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%A7%99%EC%9D%80%EC%82%B0/@37.5656125,126.9235028,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@where-coffee-brews/jitheunsan-yeonnam-mugwort-terrine/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
