Burnt cacao tree 11,000 won, pistachio madeleine 4,200 won, classic financier 3,400 won, Donggogosan Oryong 12,000 won, wheat-flavored black tea 11,000 won. The burnt cacao tree was a combination of hazelnut-flavored chocolate and vanilla cream that was so delicious. The surface of the dessert is coated with rich chocolate, so it has a great texture and is a must-eat chocolate lover. The pistachio madeleine is very delicious because it is filled with rich pistachio cream. It tastes really good even on the outside. If you tell me about the tea🍵, they will refill it for you. There are not many seats, and when I went at 1:30 on a weekday, there was only one group of customers, but there was a wait starting around 2:00. The staff were friendly.

The cake has a special taste. You can feel the quality of the design and ingredients. Perhaps because it was a Saturday weekend, the waiting line was long even in the cold weather. I gave up on eating inside and just took out, but I think I waited for more than 30 minutes.

I want to eat it at the store, but there's always a long wait, so I end up just wrapping it up. It's good as a gift, and recipients are very satisfied.

Burned cacao tree - This is my first time having a cake with a smoky flavor. It's subtle but delicious. The chocolate is moderately sweet and delicious, and it's just delicious. It's something different! Be sure to eat it! Charlotte Bae - Very tasty~ Not too sweet and refreshing rather than refreshing? One taste..a taste that can be eaten in many ways. Pear garnish + pear puree + light and savory cream, and even cookies on the bottom are a great combination. It would also be a great gift for adults! Be sure to try it Rose Garden - It's very sweet and the peanut flavor and the sugar candy flavor on top + the strawberry don't go well together. It would have tasted better if it had just the strawberry flavor. Asup Sun Moon Lake Black Tea - Great taste. The tea is expensive, so enjoy the refills. Dongbang Beauty Black Tea - Sun Moon Lake had a better scent. Earl Gray Milk Tea - It's a milk tea with a lot of different flavors, so it tastes great, but it took 5 seconds to drink. Ginger Financier - Great taste. Lemon madeleine is better with soybean paste and chocolate - a common taste!

I love Jaein so much🤍🤍 It's the first time I've had takeout and eaten at a store because there are always so many people, but it goes so well with the tea and dessert. The pear charlotte is so refreshing and tastes luxurious🩵The Dongbang Beauty tea is also perfect for my taste💕 There are so many pretty Christmas desserts. Jaein's sense is the best🎄☃️❄️♥️♥️

I went to buy a piece of cake, and it was an unusual place with a dessert bar in one corner. I thought it would go well with alcohol and dessert, haha. Each cake was so pretty and looked like a work of art, so I wanted to buy them all. The price is a bit expensive, but I am satisfied with the taste.

Vanilla Pecan Madeleine - That cream inside is delicious. Recommended Doldam Madeleine - Umm. It's kind of like rice cake. It's a taste that goes better with rice cake than the texture of a madeleine. Bacon Chili Financier - It's a salty Financier, but it's delicious in a way I've never tried before! Recommended Orange Finangsi - It's actually an orange-flavored Finangsi, but it's so-so. The other flavors go well with the texture of the Finangsi. If you want to sit down and eat it, you have to wait from 12:30 and the usage time is 1 hour and 30 minutes, so please note!

[Cacao Tree, Jeju Haechi/Cheonsan Snow Country Hot, Hendrix] This is a dessert shop that serves alcohol. The cakes are creative and delicious. The store is small and can seat about 10 people. I personally really liked the Tianshan Snowguk Tea! Tree cake is a bittersweet chocolate cake that everyone will like. The matcha taste of Haechi is not that strong so it’s a bit! It was disappointing, but the hallabong jam inside was refreshing and although it was a cake with a lot of cream, it wasn't greasy.

I visited because I remembered it as a stream of consciousness. I arrived around 1:10, waited in line, and entered the store around 1:30. I decided to eat in the store, so I entered the wait number and a table became available at 2:00, so I sat down. On weekends, you may need to be prepared to wait. Also, I felt like the wait management in the store was a bit worse than before... but looking at other people's reviews, I see they were thinking the same thing. The drinks and desserts are so delicious, but it would be better if they improved! Spring Waltz Lightly seasoned bulsu persimmon, tangerine, bergamot-flavored marmalade, lemongrass cremeux, meringue shell

The only strong point is that the desserts are good. If you eat quickly, better slow down. They seem determined to get customers out as fast as possible. Even when using the restroom, you have to tell a staff member directly and get a key. They burn some kind of fragrance that smells scorched. I honestly can't tell whether the dessert is going into my nose or my eyes. The service is really just perfunctory.
