Cafe
MERCER bis
마사비스 카페 연남점 Masabiseu Kape Yeonnam-jeom Masabiseu is the Korean rendering of MERCER bis, a chiffon-cake brand that the posts say began in Tokyo.
Compiled from 23 blog posts read in fullSources →
MERCER bis Yeonnam is a chiffon-cake café on the ground floor of a converted detached house at Seongmisan-ro 150, a short walk from Yeontral Park. Cake slices run from ₩12,800 (caramel) to ₩19,800 (strawberry or mango), and an americano is ₩5,500. Many posts describe fire pits in the middle of the room and on the terrace that are lit after dark. We read 30 posts from 14 September to 8 October 2026; 25 describe a visit. Two were about other places (a department-store pop-up and a nearby photo booth) and were set aside, and three were gifts eaten at home or copied listings, which we did not count.

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
- Fourteen posts mention outdoor terrace seating. One describes an orange-tiled fire pit in the yard with floor cushions around it, and several say staff light the fires, indoors and out, around dusk. One visitor on a hot day noted that nobody was sitting outside.
- Fourteen posts say the café is large with generous space between tables. Four mention separate rooms — one names a green room and a wood-toned room, and two say a room seats up to eight. Seven posts talk about window seats.
- Thirteen posts say the cream is not very sweet. The same phrasing about the cream melting in the mouth recurs almost word for word across several posts, so some of these are repeating the shop's own copy. One post found the chiffon bland, "like white bread," and not to their taste.

Parking reports conflict. "Two spaces in front" and "parking available" appear only in copied info blocks; the two posts that wrote about it in their own words said parking was not possible or difficult, and suggested public transport.

Where it 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

Getting inside

| Separate restrooms | yes 0 · no 1 (of 23 posts read) |
One post says the upper floor is a photo studio, where a wedding shoot was under way; no post mentions sitting upstairs.
No post mentions getting in with a wheelchair or stroller — that means nobody wrote about it, not that it is impossible. Three posts do mention steps at the entrance ("entrance stairs," "go up the steps," "up half a flight"). One post notes the café itself is on the ground floor.
Four posts say the toilet is inside, three of them calling it clean. One says it is a single unisex stall and that people queued for it on a weekend; another mentions a posted map to a public toilet nearby.
No one mentioned: Second floor · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · 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 26 posts we gathered, 3 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
- Many posts follow the same template: eight mention that cupcakes are "coming soon," and more than ten carry the same five hashtags. One post discloses sponsorship, one says it was a blogger-invitation visit, two say they paid themselves, and the rest say nothing. Claims such as egg-white-only and Korean rice flour come from the shop and are not used as evidence here.
- No post reports waiting for a seat. One says the place always looked busy, another found it crowded on a weekend, and two found it quiet on weekday evenings (one at around 8 pm). That is not proof there is never a wait — only that nobody wrote about one.
- One post says the walk from Hongik University Station exit 3 took 10–15 minutes. Figures like "684 m" or "7 minutes" come from copied info blocks.
- One post says they were told each person must order a drink and each table a dessert. No other post mentions this rule.
- Three posts call the prices high, and one says they are a little steep but fair for handmade cake. An americano with one slice comes to ₩18,300–25,300 per person. The ₩24,000 tiramisu in one post is the S whole-cake price, not a slice.
- Opening hours: all 14 posts that give them say 12:00–22:00 daily, and 12 give last order at 21:00, though most are copied from the listing. One post says there is no regular closing day. Two note that cake-order pickups should come after 1 pm.
- Nine posts give the phone number 02-322-3230. Several say whole cakes can be ordered ahead, but no post describes booking a table; table reservations appear only as a tag in copied listings.
