서울특별시 성동구 연무장길 36 8층

Getting here is easy: it’s about a leisurely walk from either Ttukseom Station or Seongsu Station (Line 2). Once you take the elevator up to the 8th floor, you’re greeted with expansive windows, modern interiors, and panoramic views over the neighborhood. Head up one more flight of stairs for an even better, unobstructed rooftop view.

The menu has a nice mix of coffee and non-coffee drinks. Their signature is the Cabaret Cream Latte (₩6,500) — caramel with a hint of vanilla for just the right sweetness. Non-coffee options include Shine Muscat Coco Ade, Hibiscus Peach Iced Tea, and Plum Ade, which are all refreshing picks if you want something lighter.

For pastries, the Cabaret Cream Croissant is the standout, but you’ll also find cookies and cakes that feel homemade and comforting. The Plain Scone (₩4,200) is buttery and simple, while the Peanut Butter & Jam Cookie (₩4,600) and Apple Cinnamon Cookie (₩4,600) are chewy and nostalgic (the apple cinnamon honestly tastes like warm apple pie).

💡 Tip: The views and vibe are the main draw, so grab a window seat or head up to the rooftop if it’s open. This is one of those cafés where you can linger for hours.

What to Order:

• ☕ Cabaret Cream Latte – their signature caramel–vanilla coffee.

• 🥐 Cabaret Cream Croissant – flaky, sweet, and their most popular pastry.

• 🍪 Apple Cinnamon or PB&J Cookie – soft and chewy, great with coffee.

• 🍹 Shine Muscat Coco Ade – a refreshing non-coffee option.
