Rain Report Croissant • 레인리포트 크루아상

레인리포트 크루아상
March 23, 2025 by greysuitcase in Cafe, Seoul, South Korea

Following the success of their first flagship store in Gyeongnidan (경리당길), Rain Report opened their second location in Seongsu-dong (성수동), an up and coming neighborhood in Seoul that’s has been rising in popularity among the locals as well as tourists these past couple of years. Keeping the same rain-themed concept, Rain Report Croissant (레인리포트 크루아상) gives patrons similar experience they would find at the flagship location but with a slightly different menu selections. Instead offering the same baked goods and cakes that are available at their other location, here you’ll find an array of delicious croissants in all shapes, flavors and colors just like the name of this cafe suggest.

Apart from the croissants, everything else is pretty much what you would find if you’ve visited the other Rain Report location—a cool cafe with impressive interior and branding that offers a variety of good coffee, drinks, and pastries accompanied by the ambience of a rainy day. The place could get busy, but the ample seatings spread through out the two-story building it’s occupying will most likely accommodate visiting patrons who would like to dine-in at this cafe.

I forgot to write down the name of this croissant but it’s essentially a chocolate croissant. Flaky on the outside, buttery soft on the inside and overall it’s not too sweet. An 8.5 out of 10 from me. 

I’ve been to this location a couple of times now and after trying a couple of their croissants, my verdict is their croissants are actually pretty good. The fact that they provide toasters in the cafe to warm up/reheat your order might have something to do with it because it allows you to enjoy your pastries while it’s warm. Another thing that I really appreciate is that they provide scissors for you to use to cut your pastries. Very convenient if you don’t want to make a mess or when you’re sharing your orders with your companions.

Chocolate (쇼콜라테) ₩7,800 | 8/10

Ordered their chocolate latte (without the coffee) and I actually quite enjoyed this drink. The chocolate drink itself isn’t too sweet but the chocolate shavings topping was a tad on the sweeter side for my personal preference. But still, it’s not too overly sweet. Also, I tried dipping the croissant into the chocolate drink and it was actually pretty perfect. Would definitely do that again next time.

Wind ₩9,800 | 8/10

Citrus, Herbal, Grapefruit, Sweet

This was my friend’s order and she said it’s actually light and pretty good.

Humbolt 훔볼트
January 20, 2023 by greysuitcase in Cafe, Seoul, South Korea

Humbolt (훔볼트) is a dessert cafe in Seongsu-dong (성수동) that has been around for quite a while now. My first visit was in 2017 and they’re still operating until today, so it really says something about the place.

Decorated with sleek gold and marble interior, the cafe occupies a three-stories space that has plenty of seatings ranging from working station style seating, casual meetup seating and outdoor seating if you prefer to enjoy the weather outside. They sell a variety of coffee & non-coffee drinks, desserts as well as bread and pastries.

To somebody who doesn’t drink coffee like me, finding a cafe that has a pretty extensive non-coffee options (and by extensive, I mean they have other menus than the generic chocolate or matcha latte) is somewhat hard. So I was pretty happy when I see that Humbolt (훔볼트) offers quite a bit of non-coffee options. I tried their Rose Latte (장미라떼) and it was actually pretty good. The temperature was just right, not too sweet, the forth is light and foamy, and it came with rose petals on top of it. It was perfect for a cold day.

If you’re looking for a dessert cafe with non-coffee options that has plenty of seatings for casual meetups or working session, I’d definitely recommend you to check out this place. And oh, I think they also have live music session as well, but you might want to check out their Instagram or call them up for more info on that.

Cafe Onhwa Seongsu • 카페온화 성수점

카페온화 성수점
January 14, 2023 by greysuitcase in Cafe, Seoul, South Korea

With the souffle pancake craze that was happening in Seoul in 2019, Cafe Onhwa (카페온화) is one of the places that’s well-known for their amazing souffle pancake. I first came to know Cafe Onhwa when I passed by their Ikseon-dong (이선점) location. Didn’t get to try it then, but instead, ended up visiting their Seoung-su location (성수점) months later with my friend.

Cafe Onhwa Seongsu (카페온화 성수점) occupies a spacious first floor of a building located right in the middle of Ttukseom Station (뚝섬역) and Seongsu Station (성수점역) of subway Line 2. The open-concept cafe is decorated with marble surfaces, wooden chairs and tables, off-white single sofas, and its signature gold countertops and accents spread all over the cafe. The place feels modern and sleek but nostalgic at the same time.

The entrance will lead you straight to the coffee bar/open kitchen where you can place your order and watch the barista making hand-drip coffee or making your souffle pancakes.

There are plenty of seatings available in the three sections they have in the cafe. One is the coffee bar area where you can sit right in front of the hand-drip coffee station. You can watch the barista in action or see the roasting room behind you.

The second area is the one right to the entrance, next to the roasting room. This area accommodates more people than the counter seating.

Lastly is the area left to the entrance, which is the biggest seating area in the cafe. On a side note, the single sofas and tables are pretty low, so they don’t really make a very comfortable setup for eating (or working/studying). It’s okay for drinking coffee but it was a little awkward for me and my friend when we were eating our pancakes. But overall, the interior is really nice and I also like the high-ceiling that they have, making the cafe feels more open and spacious.

Since my friend and I came to try the pancake, we ordered their popular menu, the Plain Souffle Pancake (플레인수플레) to share. We also ordered On Hand Drip (핸드드립 온) for my friend and Matcha Latte (말차라떼) for me.

The souffle pancake came with caramelized bananas, whip cream and syrup on the side. And oh my gosh, it was gooood. The texture of the souffle was super fluffy and soft. It’s almost like you’re eating clouds (well, maybe a slightly firmer clouds). It wasn’t too sweet (we didn’t pour all the syrup though) or too white-eggy (if you know what I mean) and the whipped cream was also so soft. The caramelized banana has more of a crunchy texture, giving it a nice contrast to the pancake. Overall, I liked it and I get why it’s so popular. Definitely recommend trying their souffle pancake if you’re visiting their cafe.

Center Coffee • 센터커피 서울숲점

센터커피
March 24, 2019 by greysuitcase in Cafe, South Korea, Seoul

Opened by the professional barista Sang Ho Park, who is the 2013 United Kingdom Brewers Cup Champion (and placed 4th at the world tournament that year) and the 2015 UK Coffee in Good Spirits Champion (and placed 6th at the world tournament), Center Coffee (센터커피) is another great addition to the coffee scene in Seoul. Having founded his own company, Spark Coffee Consulting, which is based in United Kingdom, he decided to expand his business to Asia and opened Center Coffee in Seoul. Here’s an excerpt from their website explaining about their philosophy:

Let’s meet for coffee

This is a phrase we often use when we meet people.
With this phrase, we at Center Coffee don’t just regard coffee as a beverage.
We think a cup of coffee helps shred awkwardness, enables us to share ideas,
and acts as a bridge to connect people.

So we want to share diverse stories through coffee.
To enlighten what good coffee truly is.
Who produced it, where, how it was cultivated, and how it was roasted.
To share the passion that motivates us to showcase the best flavours coffees can have. 
Most importantly, sharing the various experiences you can have with coffee.

—Center Coffee

The cafe itself has two floors. The first floor is where you order your drinks and the second floor has seating area as well as patio where you can seat outside when the weather is nice. Center Coffee has a nice range of coffee selections with unique brewing techniques which coffee aficionado will appreciate. The cafe was pretty quiet the day I went to visit. A couple of people were there, but they were either reading/studying or talking amongst themselves with low voices. I, too, quietly drank my chocolate while looking out through the window enjoying the sky changing colors from blue to orange and enjoyed my time there.
