Cheongsudang is one of Ikseon-dong's defining hanok cafes, entered across a stone path over water and built around a garden-and-pond interior. Its souffle castella is the signature order, alongside seasonal matcha desserts like the matcha mont blanc and stone-drip coffee. Long a top hit on English-language travel roundups of Ikseon-dong, it still draws a steady stream of local visitors on weekdays.
