Why it's hot

Seasonal cakes and the plated parfaits and crepes from its gelato cafe make very photogenic posts, and it still tops many 2026 Hannam cafe lists for foreign visitors.

Passion5 is the flagship dessert house of SPC, the group behind Paris Baguette, set in a black glass building a short walk from Hangangjin Station. The name refers to five 'passions': bakery, patisserie, cafe and restaurant, plus care for the customer. Walking through feels a bit like browsing a gallery, with separate sections for breads, sandwiches and salads, glass cases of whole cakes, chocolates, puddings and gift boxes. Seasonal lines change through the year; in autumn 2026 the counters were full of fig cakes, tarts and pastries. Inside the same floor, a gelato cafe serves plated crepes and tall parfaits developed with consulting from Japanese patisserie Asako Iwayanagi, and you can sit at the bar to watch them being assembled. The Passion pudding is a small, easy souvenir, and the gift sets are popular before holidays. The red heart sculpture at the entrance and the cake displays are the usual photo spots.

Tips for visitors tip!

  • The gelato cafe has shorter hours (11:00–20:00), so plan parfaits before 20:00.
  • Gelato cafe seats can be booked when ordering a parfait or crepe; reservations close at 20:00 the day before (CatchTable Global supports English).
  • Cards are accepted; paper shopping bags for gifts cost extra.
  • Valet parking is available, but the subway is easier.
