Go to store information â–¶

“Cafe Chieri” sells vegetarian cakes and scones. There is a Suyu branch and an Itaewon branch. Popular menus include “Little Devil's Cake” and “Injin Mugwort Rice Cake” made with 100% cacao powder. It's a light and refreshing flavor that makes use of the natural flavors of the ingredients, making it a great gift for the elderly. Since you can't order a whole cake until the end of December, I recommend buying a slice cake.
