In Seoul there is no shortage of cafes for dessert fanatics. 17℃ stands out as it is a real chocolaterie specializing in chocolate treats. 17℃ apparently is the perfect temperature to store and serve chocolate bonbons.
The visit
From Hongik University metro station, it was a pleasant 5-10 minute walk along Hongdae main road.
On a sunny weekend afternoon, the place was packed, but I got on of the last remaining tables inside.
I had a cup of their soft serve ice cream. As good as it gets.
I also had their seasonal drink: a cold brew with dark chocolate, Kyoto Uji matcha, and ice cream. This was the drink that convinced me that green tea and chocolate go well together.
They also sell chocolate products.
The check
The check was 12,500 Won (10.30 USD), with the drink accountimg for 8,500 Won.
Highly recommended for chocolate lovers.
