마포역에서 삼분 정도 거리에 있다. 조용하고 플랫화이트 맛도 갠찮았다.

도화동 뒷골목 아늑한 카페. 커피도 맛있지만 케익 마카롱이 맛있어요 케익굽는 향이 참좋습니다

손꼽히는 뚱카롱 카페, 의자는 너무 불편하지만 커피와 마카롱이 맛있다. 커피도 나쁘지 않은 편

큰 길에서 조금 떨어져 있어 접근성이 떨어지지만 마카롱과 케이크가 맛있는 베이커리 까페로 특히 다양한 종류의 마카롱과 당근케이크, 티라미수가 실력있는 베이커리임을 느끼게 해주며 개인적으로는 시그니쳐 커피인 수아비시모를 좋아하여 요즘 자주 찾고 있습니다. 인근 프릳츠의 활기찬 분위기가 싫으신 분들께는 좋은 대안이 될 것으로 생각됩니다.
