Why here
Cafe Onhwa's Ikseon branch is a hanok converted into a souffle-pancake specialty cafe, known for its dessert well before it appeared on the broadcast food show Sooyoomisikhoe (수요미식회). The U-shaped hanok, with its glass-and-fabric-roofed courtyard turned into seating, remains one of the neighborhood's steadier dessert draws.
