The mini pavlova fruit mix and grapefruit ade are made without flour or butter, so the pavlova comes out crisp on the outside and chewy inside.

Dalke Dessert Cafe's menu I stopped by Dalke Dessert Cafe, already famous among dessert lovers as a Tanbang-dong café in Daejeon. The menu has decaf beans, coffee, lattes, ades, tea, and smoothies, plus this place specializes in a dessert called pavlova! I didn't know much about pavlova, but it was pictured on the menu so I could order with reference — loved that 💛💛 ![Dessert showcase with financiers and cakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/dalke-dessert-cafe-mini-pavlova-daejeon/dalke-dessert-cafe-mini-pavlova-daejeon-04-azm98-900.webp) The dessert lineup ranged from plain financiers to fig and churro financiers. There were also 100% milk seasonal fresh fruit bingsu (shaved ice) like mango bingsu and peach bingsu, plus square cube cakes, other cakes, macarons, dalku sandwiches, dacquoise, and brownies — lots of options to pick from based on your taste! ![Order counter and dessert-making area separated by a curtain](https://img.superchart.com/images/dalke-dessert-cafe-mini-pavlova-daejeon/dalke-dessert-cafe-mini-pavlova-daejeon-05-1tku8-900.webp) ## Inside Dalke Dessert Cafe: interior and seating Dalke's interior has a warm, antique feel. The ordering counter and the dessert-making space next to it are separated, so you could see desserts being made through the gap in the curtain!! ![Café interior with potted plants and cute knickknacks](https://img.superchart.com/images/dalke-dessert-cafe-mini-pavlova-daejeon/dalke-dessert-cafe-mini-pavlova-daejeon-06-u0l4c-900.webp) Pretty potted plants and cute little knickknacks are scattered around the café, so it's fun to look around the space! The tablecloths felt like something from grandma's house — made me even fonder of the place 🤭 ![Antique wooden table set with a tablecloth](https://img.superchart.com/images/dalke-dessert-cafe-mini-pavlova-daejeon/dalke-dessert-cafe-mini-pavlova-daejeon-07-17jih-900.webp) It's furnished with antique-feeling wooden tables and chairs, and with about 7-8 tables overall it was good for quiet conversation and enjoying dessert. Most guests were solo or in groups of 2-3, and quite a few were picking up takeout :) ![Overview of Dalke Dessert Cafe seating with wooden chairs](https://img.superchart.com/images/dalke-dessert-cafe-mini-pavlova-daejeon/dalke-dessert-cafe-mini-pavlova-daejeon-08-mvhhf-900.webp) The whole place felt green and lush, and the green view looking out from inside was pretty too. I came to relax quietly, and between the calm atmosphere and the plants, my mind really settled .. 🌿 ![Seat with green plants and a view out the window](https://img.superchart.com/images/dalke-dessert-cafe-mini-pavlova-daejeon/dalke-dessert-cafe-mini-pavlova-daejeon-09-34bo0-900.webp) ![Table lighting and sofa seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/dalke-dessert-cafe-mini-pavlova-daejeon/dalke-dessert-cafe-mini-pavlova-daejeon-10-1phov-m-856.webp) The sofa seating was comfortable :) Every table had its own light too, so it wasn't dark at all!! ![Comfortable sofa seating with table lamp](https://img.superchart.com/images/dalke-dessert-cafe-mini-pavlova-daejeon/dalke-dessert-cafe-mini-pavlova-daejeon-11-11ar2-900.webp) And the spot next to my seat had a full window, which made it feel open and not stuffy at all! It's close to Tanbang Station and a bus stop too, so it's easy to get to, and with plenty of good restaurants around, it's a nice place to drop by. ![Window seat beside a full-height window](https://img.superchart.com/images/dalke-dessert-cafe-mini-pavlova-daejeon/dalke-dessert-cafe-mini-pavlova-daejeon-12-s0575-900.webp) ## Tasting the mini pavlova fruit mix and grapefruit ade I ordered the mini pavlova fruit mix and grapefruit ade to enjoy right there. The grapefruit ade was cool and delicious! Since I can't have coffee, I needed a cold drink to go with dessert, and it paired really well with the pavlova!! ![Mini pavlova fruit mix and grapefruit ade](https://img.superchart.com/images/dalke-dessert-cafe-mini-pavlova-daejeon/dalke-dessert-cafe-mini-pavlova-daejeon-13-sribs-900.webp) This was my first time trying pavlova and it was delicious !!!!! Unlike a regular cake, there's no flour or butter in it, so it felt clean and light — cutting it with a knife, the outside shattered crisply while the inside was soft and chewy. ![Cross-section of the pavlova meringue cut with a knife](https://img.superchart.com/images/dalke-dessert-cafe-mini-pavlova-daejeon/dalke-dessert-cafe-mini-pavlova-daejeon-14-n6rzw-m-900.webp) I've been eating way too much flour lately and was a bit worried, so it was amazing that something with no flour at all could taste this good. Pavlova also seemed like a great gift — it just looks so pretty… 💚 ![Pavlova topped with peach, shine muscat grapes, and blueberries](https://img.superchart.com/images/dalke-dessert-cafe-mini-pavlova-daejeon/dalke-dessert-cafe-mini-pavlova-daejeon-15-9swnr-900.webp) It's topped with a variety of fruit — peach, shine muscat grapes, blueberries, bananas, and more !! Every fruit on top was sweet and fresh, which paired perfectly with the meringue base 🫶🏻 ## Is Dalke Dessert Cafe worth a visit? A Tanbang-dong café with special, delicious desserts and an antique atmosphere that somehow grows on you — that's Dalke Dessert Cafe! The pavlova was so good I'm planning to go back for more.
