An irresistible lineup of cheesecakes awaits
I picked up a box of six cheesecakes, each flaunting a unique flavor profile. From Oreo and crème brûlée to blueberry, chocolate, and salted caramel, these cakes come beautifully packaged in a paper box. The cheesecake itself is velvety and savory, while the toppings bring just the right amount of sweetness to keep you craving more. For coffee enthusiasts, there’s an espresso blend with a choice of two beans, or you can opt for hand-drip coffee with four bean options. The cheesecakes here are a true delight, but don’t overlook the brunch menu, which is also quite popular. As I glanced around, I noticed many diners indulging in grilled cheese sandwiches. Keep in mind that the brunch menu is only available until 4 pm on weekdays.
The atmosphere here transports you straight to the streets of New York City. Wicker Park West is conveniently situated in front of the picturesque Seokchon Lake in Jamsil, with Exit 7 of Seokchon Station just a stone’s throw away. It’s a haven for those seeking a laid-back, peaceful vibe, with patrons leisurely enjoying their time. The unique interior exudes an exotic charm that attracts quite a few foreigners. Regardless of the season, stepping inside instantly makes you feel like it’s springtime. The spacious interior, abundant potted plants, and the sun streaming in through the expansive windows create that perfect spring ambiance. This is precisely what a brunch café should aspire to be. You can order brunch, indulge in dessert, savor your coffee, and chat away for hours on end.
