Being that I am always running
around from cafe to cafe, trying out all the desserts Seoul has to offer,
expectations for those in the fancy shmancy area of Apgujeong are high.
Unfortunately, I cannot praise Hans Cafe and Patisserie for much other than
their drinks and chocolate muffin. That's quite the bummer with such a wide
selection of desserts that are extremely appealing in appearance.
Maybe it is
because I have the sweet tooth that I do, I expect a lot out of their desserts.
The tarts and "cake in a cup" concept are extremely captivating which
makes you want to eat everything. Unfortunately, they are not sweet enough for
my taste buds and do not hit the spot. The most appealing factor of the
chocolate tart was the fresh scrapes of chocolate on top and the "cake in
a cup" is literally all crème. There's not much to rave about there.
Unexpectedly, the chocolate muffin was the best of all desserts maybe
because I didnt' expect much from a chocolate muffin, but they were able to
make that perfectly fine. In fact, it probably had a little bit more of a
chocolate taste in a muffin than expected. If you’re looking to visit Hans Café
and Patisserie, be ready to spend roughly $15 for a drink and a dessert. My suggestion
is to definitely go for a drink only. Then again, you can practically find the
drinks at another spot for cheaper. The one recommendation to order is their
tea which is actually served in a small tea pot, giving you more for your money’s
worth.
The environment at
Hans Café and Patisserie is recommended for a date setting. It has sort of an
elegant touch which fits the Apgujeong area. It is a place to enjoy a nice and
relaxing chat with bright lights and open windows that allow for you to look
out to the side streets of Apgu.
There are a few other locations in town, but this is the Apgujeong branch's information:
