Episode 6: Is the brownie flavor from there to there? Take a look at this house
Studying English and preparing for a job is stressful these days.
Grab Willy Winka's golden invitation and run around the huge and fantastic chocolate factory to recharge your sweet energy.
If you take a big bite of rich chocolate, roll it around in your mouth, melt it, and eat it, the stress will go away quickly. Sometimes when the inside of your mouth feels too sweet, wrap a bittersweet, cool, iced Americano! (best)
Whoa , do you want to feel this feeling right now? It's not as good as the chocolate factory you imagine, but a brownie restaurant with a deep, rich flavor that's more like chocolate than chocolate awaits you! The magic of cutting a thick brownie by squeezing it with a fork, and tasting each bite at a time makes one piece disappear! You can look forward to it!
But aren't all the brownie flavors from there to there? Aniju! (Sashimi) There are also basic methods made with chocolate and butter, brownies made with walnuts to make the most of their texture, topped with ice cream or fresh cream, or made like croissants.
A sweet and happy “brownie†that you can enjoy in a variety of ways!
Let's meet some of Seoul's hottest brownie restaurants with the Dessert Road Team today!
1. The place where the heart stays, Jera's Café
If you get out of the hustle and bustle of Hongdae and walk into the leisurely alley of Sangsu-dong, you'll see a variety of unique small cafes nestled between the alleys. Among them, Jera's Cafe, located inside Sangsu-dong Alley, is located on the 2nd floor of a building inside the alley. There are no flashy exteriors or prominent signs, but the simple, slow, relaxed interior makes you feel comfortable.
The room was illuminated in a cozy yellow light, and it was a great place to chat with close friends. When you walk inside the cafe, the brownies and pies on the shelves are the first thing that catches your eye, and the sweet smell of baking brownies mixed with the aroma of coffee raises expectations. The picture frames on the wall and the cute accessories all over the store make me feel like I'm in a gallery, and I keep looking around.
Jera's Cafe is famous for its brownies and apple pies. In particular, it is said that brownies are homemade using dark chocolate with a high cacao content. Well, I'll try the brownies at Jera's Cafe.

2. Labo, the hottest brownie specialty store these days
Labo is a brownie specialty store located near Dosan Park. It's located on the 1st floor of the Orion brand MarketO building.
It is said that the cute name LAP_O came from Orion's “O†and the meaning of constantly researching menus.
When you enter the store, the high ceiling looks cool, and the unique items and interior, such as a research center, catch the eye. The kitchen next to the entrance is made of glass, so you can watch the whole process of making it. Showing everything like this makes me believe and is fun to watch.
With the mindset of a researcher, I run to the showcases filled with brownies! I was amazed at the many types of brownies on display! The unique visuals were really a waste to eat. From original brownies to brownies with luxury logos, and brownies you can eat while squeezing your own banana cream… The lineup is like a brownie specialty store, right?
The hottest place these days. Labo!
It's early in the morning, and the atmosphere is still quiet!

3. Looking for a rich, rich flavor?! Welcome to Antiquecoco!
A chocolate cafe in Sangsu-dong with an antique vibe from the signboard! Even from a distance, the unique interior, which looks like a confectionary shop that appeared in the 90s, stands out. The shop looks a little small when you look at it from the outside, but don't worry. There are also seats in the basement. When the weather is nice, you can sit on the terrace and enjoy a dessert while breathing in the outside air.
Once inside, the atmosphere is even more “antique.†The dilapidated walls, yellowish lights, and various props further enhance the unique vintage atmosphere.
If you go down to the basement, there's a space on one side where you can make your own dessert. After watching the gorgeous hand work of making a cake for a long time, I don't know how much time passes. A clean kitchen is a plus!

Antique Coco located near Sangsu Station!
Antik Coco is also popular for its rainbow cake, which often appears on TV programs, but it also makes chocolate-based sweets very well. In addition to various types of chocolate, they have various types of sweets, such as bonbons filled with red wine and Gateau Mont Blanc.
Among them, if you want to enjoy rich chocolate, this Gateau Mont Blanc is perfect. Although it's a chocolate cake, the texture and texture are similar to a very rich brownie. When you put a bite of Mont Blanc, which is so hard that it leaves fork marks on the place where the fork passes, the rich flavor of chocolate spreads deeply. I decorated this richly flavored sheet by squeezing marron cream mixed with chestnuts and honey in a grid pattern. Cream has a sweetness that is different from chocolate. It's an impressive place with impressive visuals where gold powder is placed on top of the head to bring out the best in style!
