Berry Bliss

Berry Bliss is a fruit-focused dessert cafe in the lanes between Hongdae and Sangsu, spread over three floors with an outdoor terrace on the second. The star is the soufflé pancake: thick, airy stacks that jiggle when the plate lands, topped with whatever fruit is in season and a scoop of Häagen-Dazs ice cream. In winter and spring that means strawberries, piled high in the strawberry field soufflé or wrapped under a thin layer of handmade mochi in the strawberry mochi version; summer brings peaches and plums, and autumn switches to sweet figs from Yeongam. A limited Dubai-style mochi strawberry soufflé is made in small batches each day. If you would rather have a meal, the Dutch baby pancakes come in fruit, brunch-plate and even tteokbokki versions, and there are parfaits, fresh juices and milk bingsu as well. Because everything is cooked to order, plates can take a while, but the space is large and bright enough that people settle in. It was featured on SBS's Live Today in 2025.
