Hyehwa area (혜화동) is a famous as cultural area because there are theaters and museums located there in huge amount. This area is also famous for bars, restaurants and cafés. Especially cafés in traditional Korean house style hanok. If you will come to Hyehwa area (혜화) you will see how modern and traditional building share space here. Ultra trendy design coffeeshop is followed by hanok coffee house which is look like tea house from historical dramas.
It is possible to taste traditional tea and desserts in some of those coffeeshops however most of them serve coffee and desserts. One of these caffes is Dao coffeeshop (카페다오). It is located a little bit far from the busy area in the calm and peaceful alley. If you will take line number 4 (blue line) and take off on the Hyehwa station (혜화역) you will need to go out from the exit number 1 and walk for 5 minutes.
This place is perfect for dates or sharing secrets with a close friend because there is always quiet music playing, the light is soft and atmosphere is intimate.
Cakes here are the most delicious cakes I have ever tried. The owner bakes it right inside the café so there is always nice smell of a fresh baked cake. The cream on the cake is a masterpiece of the taste, it is also homemade and it has not too sweet soft texture, melting as soon as you put it to your mouse. Coffee is also high quality with nice and strong taste and color.
Cake is 7000 won
Americano is 4500 won
