Hello :)
JW Plastic Surgery Clinic,
a clinic that repays you with results.
Today, I’m bringing you a review of ‘Humboldt’ from Seongsu-dong Cafe Street,
which is full of trendy cafes.
Let’s get started?

Humboldt is located at the far end of the area
where Seongsu Station’s cafe street begins.
It takes about 10 leisurely minutes on foot
from Seongsu Station.

Since it’s strawberry season, a strawberry drink banner
welcomes you at the entrance.
![[Seongsu-dong Cafe] Seongsu Cafe Street with Delicious Strawberry Lattes image 5](https://pub-9f2bb3498faf4d1d8714b41df24753e3.r2.dev/content/clinics/archive/9b2f38d7eb/naver_blog/jwbeauty5415114/assets/by_hash/5b67ad6c51abeab7e5c8ff9f5e53fd4e8feb25f8ec5bb79bc9c39bc97ef5a60a.jpg)
The entire building is a cafe.
It has a basement level, first floor, and second floor.
![[Seongsu-dong Cafe] Seongsu Cafe Street with Delicious Strawberry Lattes image 6](https://pub-9f2bb3498faf4d1d8714b41df24753e3.r2.dev/content/clinics/archive/9b2f38d7eb/naver_blog/jwbeauty5415114/assets/by_hash/3903577fa8ff0b86f48ba33b929e9e96842f3f892c9af2d534de6c6bd1e6eed1.jpg)
The chandelier is impressive.
![[Seongsu-dong Cafe] Seongsu Cafe Street with Delicious Strawberry Lattes image 7](https://pub-9f2bb3498faf4d1d8714b41df24753e3.r2.dev/content/clinics/archive/9b2f38d7eb/naver_blog/jwbeauty5415114/assets/by_hash/93229647fb4ef855798b9f4093ea99ed8b4f9b186451de8323ae85acf7ff9bff.jpg)
On the left side of the entrance, there are stairs
that lead to the basement and the upper floors.
![[Seongsu-dong Cafe] Seongsu Cafe Street with Delicious Strawberry Lattes image 8](https://pub-9f2bb3498faf4d1d8714b41df24753e3.r2.dev/content/clinics/archive/9b2f38d7eb/naver_blog/jwbeauty5415114/assets/by_hash/b6d58adc219071c0197c01145866ff791c32239cb857613a62837025a44b9458.jpg)

On the right side, there is a display case with bread, macarons,
and cakes.
Maybe because I visited in the evening,
there weren’t many kinds of bread available.

There are also pretty slices of cake.
Personally, I like Humboldt’s
Palmiers!

Drink menu
There is a wide variety of menu items, including coffee,
tea, various fruit drinks, milk tea,
and even ice cream.
![[Seongsu-dong Cafe] Seongsu Cafe Street with Delicious Strawberry Lattes image 14](https://pub-9f2bb3498faf4d1d8714b41df24753e3.r2.dev/content/clinics/archive/9b2f38d7eb/naver_blog/jwbeauty5415114/assets/by_hash/1b1e8d348f82dcbf368b1b4c62f12996a771bfe82ecca58f9042d9b521fc4a06.jpg)
They also sell bottled drinks and beer.

After placing our order, we take a look around the cafe.

On the second floor, there is a space where you can study,
and tables in the back.
Due to the COVID-19 aftermath, there weren’t many people,
but the second-floor seats were still fairly full.
![[Seongsu-dong Cafe] Seongsu Cafe Street with Delicious Strawberry Lattes image 19](https://pub-9f2bb3498faf4d1d8714b41df24753e3.r2.dev/content/clinics/archive/9b2f38d7eb/naver_blog/jwbeauty5415114/assets/by_hash/9bba61b7ba8fdd18a91fd7c12eb7b39280cf1d509e6233ef28f5c7a56ff8f201.jpg)
Shall we go down to the basement via the stairs?
Even though it’s a basement, there is an outdoor terrace,
so it didn’t feel too closed in.
![[Seongsu-dong Cafe] Seongsu Cafe Street with Delicious Strawberry Lattes image 20](https://pub-9f2bb3498faf4d1d8714b41df24753e3.r2.dev/content/clinics/archive/9b2f38d7eb/naver_blog/jwbeauty5415114/assets/by_hash/f139ce3a732b5ab49582a940ca7e80cea4ba15081e5e4e00b548e1935bfc2773.jpg)
The basement is spacious
and there are lots of tables.
![[Seongsu-dong Cafe] Seongsu Cafe Street with Delicious Strawberry Lattes image 21](https://pub-9f2bb3498faf4d1d8714b41df24753e3.r2.dev/content/clinics/archive/9b2f38d7eb/naver_blog/jwbeauty5415114/assets/by_hash/c398ede7e806b6da26504b4bb7378bd1183ad88fb3e209e4443c8df2bb6fd546.jpg)
Comfortable-looking seats
and various decorative items.

One entire wall was filled
with framed pictures.
![[Seongsu-dong Cafe] Seongsu Cafe Street with Delicious Strawberry Lattes image 23](https://pub-9f2bb3498faf4d1d8714b41df24753e3.r2.dev/content/clinics/archive/9b2f38d7eb/naver_blog/jwbeauty5415114/assets/by_hash/c62a9666e44a684558dd3b43b68d5ac1a3a849a13277822e0f663f7bfbb4d3d5.jpg)
And on one side, there was a small stage.
Seeing the keyboard and drums,
I thought performances might be held here.
![[Seongsu-dong Cafe] Seongsu Cafe Street with Delicious Strawberry Lattes image 24](https://pub-9f2bb3498faf4d1d8714b41df24753e3.r2.dev/content/clinics/archive/9b2f38d7eb/naver_blog/jwbeauty5415114/assets/by_hash/222057a07ca7f9618700dea10978c621f95e3312d09d18ab9caf7f9c3ef7abf0.jpg)
I’ll have to come back later
to watch a live performance.
We found a seat in the basement,
where there were relatively fewer people.

We ordered a strawberry latte, strawberry shortcake,
and a Sweet Dolce Latte.

A Dolce Latte topped with a cute rabbit,
and a strawberry latte with pieces of fresh fruit you can chew

I was deciding between strawberry roll and strawberry shortcake,
and chose the strawberry shortcake.
Since strawberries were in season,
it was delicious.

I recommend visiting before strawberry season ends
and trying it for yourself!

This was an honest review of Humboldt in Seongsu-dong,
with its luxurious atmosphere
and delicious cakes and bread!
