대학로에 위치한 까페, 커피 맛은 평범하고, 크로블 은 맛있어요, 빵이 맛있고 빵 위의 아이스크림이 아주 좋았습니다 매장이 좀 더 넓었으면 하는 아쉬움이 있네요.

질소아이스크림 종류별로 다 맛있고! 크로플 강추 ㅎㅎ 커피류와 아이스크림라떼도 맛있어요 ㅎㅎ 폴바셋 아이스크림라떼와 비교해도 여기가 win!

특이한 디져트와 특이한 아이스크림을 파는 카페 음식 : 앵간하면 다 맛있음. 바다소금 아이스크림 매우 추천...단짠단짠에 생각나는 맛. 커피나 음료, 아이스크림 외에 다른 디져트도 모두 맛있었고 크로플과 크로캉도 예술. 한 종류씩 다 시켜먹음ㅋㅋ 서비스 : 폰 충전도 해주시고 깔끔함 분위기 : 내부 인테리어도 현대적이고 전체적으로 엄청 깨끗하고 앙큼상큼 좋음. 통유리라 바깥 구경하기도 좋음!

대학로 혜화 쪽에 이렇게 모던한 인테리어 카페 유일한 것 같아요. 아이스크림도 처음 느껴보는 맛이고 정말 깔끔했어요. 크로플, 바다소금 시리즈 추천!!
