The view is great and the atmosphere is great! The coffee is delicious! But maybe there was a delay in delivery... I waited for over 20 minutes and there were hardly any customers... And !!!!!!!!The cake (strawberry Victoria) was really, really not delicious!!!!!!!!!!! The cake sheet is so hard that you might have accidentally sold the model, and the butter cream is so hard!!!!!!! Quality that should not be sold. But the price is 8600. Please don't order that and have coffee.

Konkuk University Howandang is a famous handmade bakery that bakes everything from handmade macarons full of various flavors to dessert gift sets that make you feel good just by looking at it!! The strawberry Victoria cake was sanded with plenty of cream cheese and topped with lotus powder, so it had a pleasant taste. There are various types of cake slices to choose from, whether sweet or refreshing, depending on your taste, and the seats are wide from the 1st to the 3rd floor, so you can conveniently visit a group 😆 Whole cake reservations are also available, so it would be perfect for a special day 🫶

I was craving strawberry cake! I was so happy to be at Hwanhwadang!! These days, strawberries are expensive, so I was hesitant to eat them, but the price here is just right~~>< I feel good after eating fresh strawberries~~ The lemon pound cake is also refreshing and so soft~! I’ll come back next time to try egg tarts!!

It's been a while since I visited~ Earl Gray milk tea is delicious~ Maybe because I visited at this time, there are no macarons. The macarons here are delicious.

Because it was my birthday, I wanted to take at least a pretty picture of the cake, so I stopped by Howandang, but the atmosphere here was really… It was beyond my expectations. It was so comfortable to take pictures because it had a quiet and warm feel. The strawberry Victoria cake had a pretty look and the cream was very light, so it was perfect to eat sweetly without burden. I ordered the matcha cream latte warm, and from the first sip, I felt like my body was being relaxed from the winter breeze... I really enjoyed the soft creamy texture of the bitter matcha tea. And since there are many dog-friendly spaces here, it was fun to watch the dogs sitting outside. It's cool and open from the terrace to the rooftop, so it would be even prettier if you come on a nice day. It's a great place to create a birthday atmosphere, and it's also a good place to just go for dessert.

[Affogato 6,500] Two scoops of vanilla-flavored ice cream that is soft and melts in the mouth together are served with a shot of espresso. The espresso is savory and dark without acidity, which is a perfect combination with the sweet ice cream. [King Egg Tart 3,800] A large egg tart the size of a fist is a tart, not a pie, and is based on a cookie and is filled with a soft filling filled with vanilla beans and eggs. It's savory and sweet without a fishy smell, so it's perfect as a set with Americano [Basque Cheesecake 8,600] Most bachiquettes tend to have a hard exterior, but as the inside is moist and fluffy, the exterior is also really soft and melts in your mouth. The cream on top is also sweet and soft without being greasy, so it goes well with lotus crumble.

I went in without knowing that Doojokku would be there, but there he is!!!! The day before, I happened to eat Dujokku in another area, and now that I eat Dujokku here, I understand why the price is so high. The tofu here is really delicious!!! And other than Starbucks, I only get milk tea from Gongcha, but the milk tea here is also really delicious!!!! However, the price is a bit expensive. Konkuk University Business School? They said they would give me a discount if I verified it with my student ID, but since it's been a while since I graduated and I'm not even a business school student, I just stayed at the alumni center and left on a whim.

The Basque texture is strange. I don't know if it's separated or not mixed, but it's not smooth and the cheese is lumpy and crumbly. When I look at the cross section with the naked eye, I can see that it's not smooth, so I don't know why they sold it as is. I'm upset.
