Cafe

Sogwadang

소과당 Sogwadang means a house of small confections — one post explains the name as a shop that makes little sweets.

Compiled from 25 blog posts read in fullSources →

A dessert café on the second and third floors of a building in an alley near exit 9 of Hongik University Station. The signature is souffle pancakes made with rice or wheat flour, and it sells five flavours of pudding at ₩6,500 each. Milk-tea pudding was the most-ordered item (eight posts); two posts put the custard pudding bingsu at ₩19,500. You order at the counter on the second floor and staff bring it to your seat, posts say. We read 30 posts from 19 March to 1 October 2026; three were about other places, and 25 describe actual visits.

Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.

What sets it apart

  1. Space is the most repeated point: fourteen posts say the room is large or the tables well spaced, and five mention big windows. Two posts found the third floor empty on a weekday.
  2. The pudding bingsu is sweet: three posts that ate the custard version call it very sweet, while one post found the pudding itself not sweet.

Where it is

Map showing where Sogwadang is

We could not find this shop’s own listing on Naver Map, so the link searches for its Korean name around this spot instead.

From the station

5 posts say it is walkable from the station.

Getting inside

Second floor19 of 25 posts
Lift to the flooryes 0 · no 1 (of 25 posts read)
Toilet inside4 of 25 posts
Separate restrooms1 of 25 posts

The café occupies the second and third floors. Nineteen posts describe going up and sitting on one of them, five mention climbing stairs, and one states there is no elevator.

No post describes entering with a wheelchair or stroller; we only have mentions of stairs and one post saying there is no elevator. This means nobody wrote about it, not that access is impossible.

Four posts say the restroom is inside the café on the third floor; one adds it is separated by gender.

No one mentioned: In a basement · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Accessible toilet. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

Posts that followed a TV spot

Of the 27 posts we gathered, 2 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.

We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

What we do not know

  • Waits are disputed: one post (June 2026) complained of very long waits, while three (April, June, August 2026, including one weekend) walked straight in or found it empty. No post gives a time.
  • Sixteen posts give the same opening hours, 11:00–22:00 with Mondays closed. Eleven put last order at 21:30 and one at 20:30. Nearly all of this is copied from the listing.
  • Prices: five posts agree pudding is ₩6,500. Two posts put the custard pudding bingsu at ₩19,500 and one at ₩18,500 (12 June 2026). One solo visitor paid ₩20,500 for two puddings and a smoothie.
  • More than ten posts list the phone number as 0507-1371-8188; one gives 02-6388-8188. No post says whether reservations are taken.
  • Some posts follow a promotional template: one openly mentions the keywords it was given, and the same five keywords appear in the same order across four posts. Several repeat the shop's own directions and recipe claims, which we did not count. One post that copies other posts word for word was left out of the visit count.
