A Must-Visit Latte Spot in Seongsu-dong: Cafe Horeang-icano
I recently visited Cafe Horeang-icano, a fantastic latte spot in Seongsu-dong, after grabbing a meal nearby. I'd love to introduce it to you!
If you're looking for a cafe with a distinct and memorable concept, you'll absolutely love this place.
They offer a wide variety of handmade cookies and desserts, making it a great place to pick up gifts too.
1. Location
It was incredibly easy to find, located right in front of Exit 1 of Ttukseom Station.
It's also close to popular date spots like Seoul Forest and Yeonmujang-gil.
I walked there after visiting a famous gamjatang (pork bone stew) restaurant near Seongsu Station, and it was a quick and pleasant stroll.
The cafe stands out with its vibrant orange interior!
Even the waiting area seating is a cheerful orange hue.
Besides delicious lattes, this Seongsu-dong cafe also offers a wide variety of desserts.
2. Menu
The "Horeang Latte" (iced only) and "Bean Flat" (hot only) are the coffee mainstays, and a unique Whiskey Coffee also caught my eye.
They offer a variety of cookies, tigres, madeleines, and more, all with adorable tiger-themed designs.
The tigre is only available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, so I didn't get to try it, but the other desserts were so good that I'm already looking forward to trying it next time!
We ordered the Horeang Latte (₩6,000), Horeang Affogato (₩6,000), Crispy & Chewy Red Velvet Cookie (₩4,000), Soft & Moist Plain Cookie (₩3,000), and Horeang Madeleine (₩2,400).
3. Interior
The interior was more spacious than it appeared from the outside, with three tables available.
They also provide non-woven bags for storing your belongings and a sink for washing your hands, showing their thoughtful consideration for customers.
4. Food
All the items were served at once, which was great!
The tiger-themed cookies were particularly eye-catching.
After posting a photo on my Instagram story, I received tons of DMs asking where it was.
It must be difficult to come up with a specific concept and even more challenging to maintain it, but this place gives off such a strong and cohesive vibe that I had high expectations for the taste of their coffee and desserts.
The Horeang Latte, Horeang-icano's signature menu item, had an impressive tiger stripe design, and we were advised to stir it well before drinking.
It's made with homemade vanilla bean syrup, and the sweetness and richness were perfectly balanced. I don't usually like sweet coffee, but I thoroughly enjoyed this one.
The Horeang Madeleines come as a set of two!
I was so curious about how they were made. They were moist and sweet on the inside, and absolutely delicious!
The Red Velvet Cookie had marshmallows inside, so you could enjoy a crispy exterior and a chewy interior at the same time.
The Soft & Moist Cookie contained chocolate and nuts, which is totally my style!
The Horeang Affogato came with a ₩1,000 Horeang Butter Cookie, which I was very happy about!
Scooping up the ice cream with the coffee underneath was also fantastic.
Cutting up the tiger-shaped butter cookie with a spoon and eating it together also went really well!
When you go to a place with such a strong concept, it's not just about the food; you can also enjoy looking around at the interior and items, and there are so many things to talk about.
I highly recommend this Seongsu-dong latte spot as a date location! Make sure to visit!
