Dessert Cake: Sweetier in Hongdae Sometimes you just have the urge to plunge into a fountain of chocolate and succumb to its greatness. Going to a buffet but filling up on sweets? It can be done. But due to the recent outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in Korea, Sweetier has stopped its buffet service for the moment but it will begin again in June, according to the cafe. Normally, though, the buffet is great. At this dessert buffet (20,000 won), the first floor of more than 20 tables fills up quickly. At Sweetier, you can devour all kinds of rich, sweet cakes without worrying about the clock. ![]() Inside the cafe, you will find a display of different kinds of cake. Your sweet tooth will be answered instantly. An array of hors d’oeuvre-sized treats are available include like cream cake, pound cake, chiffon cake and brownies, as well as another 30 kinds of less-familiar sweets such as tomato comfiture, wine gelee (wine and gelatin pudding) cacao framboise, yoghurt mousse and caramel tarts, spilling out of crystal containers. The cafe is open from 12 p.m. till 11 p.m. everyday with a break time from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. On Mondays, it runs as a regular cafe, not a buffet, so beverages and cakes are sold individually. To get to Sweetier, go to Hongdae Station, line No. 2, exit 9. Head for SangSang Madang and turn right at Joe’s Sandwich and then make a left turn at No Stress Kitchen. Go straight from there and the cafe can be found on your right. Call (02) 326-1793 for more information. 30% Off Everland Promotion Ticket Seoul Travel News |
