This upscale look cafe offers a delightful selection of cakes and pastries. Among the tempting options, we found some exceptionally well-crafted and visually appealing cakes that seemed almost too good to eat. We decided to indulge in the Tiramisu, which was a revelation. Despite its unassuming appearance in the plain-looking cup, it was incredibly delicious and well-made. It was one of the best tiramisu. The strawberry roll was equally sublime, with its soft texture and harmonious blend of flavors. The Coffee is also well made with strong robust flavour. This cafe bakery is undoubtedly one of the best in the Itaewon area.

Walked past this bakery in Hanamdong. Everything looks pretty! We had the Korean Soysauce croquette liked bread. It was filled with minced beef and they heated it up after we paid. Super savoury! The noodles thingy in the bread (forgot the name) was really nice too! We ordered the chicken shaped cake just for fun. This time, looks prettier than it tasted. All in all, highly recommended to drop by if you are in the area.

I had the truffle mushroom sandwich, sweetcorn egg tart and two other seasonal pastries. The highlight was definitely the sandwich, good amount of filling to sauce to bread ratio, bread was good quality, and had enough variety of truffle, mustard, mushroom and veg to keep the flavours interesting. The pastries were very average despite how appetising they look. The service was ok except for the Cafe area where they made me walk around the shop trying to find a seat before they would allow me to buy one. And there’s not many tables here. Due to this, I’m not a big fan of the dine-in experience. It’s very much grab and go. I also have a feeling they put dairy milk in my latte instead of oat milk, which can be a deadly mistake. Presentation of food and coffee is also not a priority, which is a shame for the price. So overall it’s a decent cafe to grab a bite, and considering the lack of options for a coffee and a small meal in the area, it does make an ok place to eat.

Very attractive bakery with a small café inside where you can have Gelato, cakes and coffee. It is a good place after shopping for some time. The must try Gelato is the pistachio favour.

Great selection of pastries and food- honestly almost overwhelming! Definitely try the caneles and anything pistachio. I wish we had an occasion to get one of their beautiful cakes- maybe next trip.

Passion5 is a bakery café operated by SPC Group, the parent company of Paris Croissant and Paris Baguette, to provide high-quality desserts that are different from ordinary bakery cafes. Passion5 offers a variety of choices, from French-style cakes to modern versions of traditional Korean rice cakes. Passion5 Terrace is a brunch restaurant with great food and atmosphere. The atmosphere of the restaurant is warm and sophisticated with pretty lights and detailed props placed here and there, and the overall atmosphere is like a wonderful terrace in France. I had the egg & bacon sausage plate. The corn soup served before the meal, the salad on the plate, the sunny-side up eggs, the sausage, and the bread were all fresh and tasty.

Wonderful design and prime location. Be ready to spend 7.500 KRW for a descent latte . The pastries are very good and beautifully made. The quality of the bread is excellent, dont skip a baguette or Traditional loaf to take home regardless of the price. Definitely a place to visit again .
