Churros are a beloved dessert enjoyed in Spain and Latin America for centuries, and this new cafe is bringing that tradition to Korea.
Located in the heart of the Apgujeong neighborhood, the cafe's charming decor is inspired by traditional Spanish countryside design. The walls are a warm beige decorated with furniture that has a natural wood finish, and the wooden tables and red upholstered chairs give the space a rustic, cozy feel. The lighting is soft and warm, making it a perfect place to sit and enjoy a churro with friends. It should be noted that since they're so busy, you will need to walk in and put your phone number in the small kiosk to digitally hold your place in line.
The menu is simple but sweet. They serve traditional churros, which are long, thin pastries deep-fried and dusted with sugar. Their churros are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
The churros are dusted with sugar, and my lil' Mexican heart was disappointed with the lack of cinnamon. Still, I understand the absence of cinnamon because, in Korea, it is a flavor that is often associated with traditional medicine.
In addition to its churros, the cafe serves various drinks to complement its menu. Their hot chocolate is rich and velvety, the perfect accompaniment to a warm churro. One drink, in particular, caught my attention, and it was dark chocolate chili. It was sweet with a slightly warm, but not quite spicy aftertaste. I found it quite enjoyable. They also offer several coffee and espresso options as well.
Overall, this new churro cafe is a beautiful addition to the neighborhood. The restaurant is bustling as it has recently opened, and often anything new and trendy in Korea is very popular at first. So I would recommend getting there sometime early. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the churros are petty good. If you're a fan of churros or just looking for a cozy new cafe to try, this place is worth a visit.
