On a drizzly late afternoon, I visited a cafe right next to the Seogyo-dong cathedral.

Is it because of the weather? It feels calm, so it looks good to spend time quietly.
That shutter which looks like a garage door open to see the outside from the inside when the weather is nice.

The tables and chairs are cramped, but there are only two tables of customers, so it's a leisurely atmosphere.
There is a cathedral next to it, so will it be a bit crowded on Sunday?

The alleys around the cafe are not shabby but tidy, I guess it won't be noisy.

I usually drink americano, but I,m ordering caramel macchiato because I'm craving something sweet this time.
Oh, and since the cake here is famous, I added a piece of cake.

Caramel macchiato is nothing special but it's very sweet and refreshing.
By the way, this cake is not a normal cheesecake I've eaten before.
The kraft cheesecake sold in places like Costco is literally a lump of cheese. But this rare cheesecake is a soft cheese mousse. I think more people will love a cheesecake like this.
It's a medium taste of milk and cheese, and it melts in my mouth like ice cream.
I was curious about the word 'rare', so I searched web. It is a rare cheese cake because it is literally eaten in rare, which is made by using gelatin instead of baking.
They say there's a lot of regular customers packing rare cheesecake in this cafe.
It runs from morning to night without a break.
If you walk for about 10 minutes from exit 8 of Hongdae station, you will find this cafe at the corner of the alley.
