Cafe Pinch in Beomgye: Butter Bars and Cozy Seats

Hi, this is Izzingne. Today I visited Cafe Pinch, a cafe in Beomgye known for butter bars. My friends and I had a trip coming up, and we needed somewhere comfortable to chat, plan, and most importantly book our lodging, so I gathered everyone at Cafe Pinch.

Cafe Pinch is close to the center of Beomgye Rodeo. Come up from Exit 2 and it takes less than a minute. Enter the Nipong Naepong building and it is on the 4th floor. The hours are 11:00 to 23:00, so it stays open fairly late and is good for late-night chatting.

Two Pinch lattes One peanut cream latte Hwang cheese butter bar

There were three of us, so this is what we ordered. All three of us like nutty, sweet lattes, so even the menu we chose was all nutty and sweet.

On one shelf there was a cute, tired-looking bear. Cold water and tissues were prepared, and for guests who might feel cold or be wearing a skirt, there were soft blankets too. Such a thoughtful touch.

The space was wide and the ceiling was high, which I liked. There were several kinds of seats, so it was fun choosing where to sit. They had enough seating prepared even for groups of 5 to 6 or more, so group guests would be fine too.

At last, the menu we ordered came out. The one dusted with cocoa powder is the Pinch latte, and the one topped lightly with peanut crumbles is the peanut cream latte.

First, the Pinch latte uses almond milk as the base. I scooped a little of the cream on top, then drank the coffee underneath together with the cream. The nutty almond flavor and the sweetness of the cream came together and it was really good. It had the kind of nuttiness that makes you keep sipping.

Next, the peanut cream latte had cream on top that was so thick that, with a little exaggeration, it felt like eating peanut butter. It had a strong peanut nuttiness different from almond, and it matched the coffee so well. This one was delicious too.

We were very serious about getting good photos. After taking photos for a while, we hurried to drink before the cream sank. In the middle of Pinch, there was the sofa seat where we sat, and it was dangerously comfortable. I almost fell asleep, and one friend actually dozed off. It was so cozy and soft, perfect for sitting together and chatting.

I normally do not take photos this enthusiastically, but the lattes and the Hwang cheese butter bar looked so cute, almost like props, that I kept taking pictures.

The outside of the butter bar was crisp and the inside was chewy, somewhere between chewy and dense. Sometimes other places serve butter bars that are too hard and uncomfortable to eat, but Cafe Pinch was different. It was so dense and chewy, and it paired perfectly with the whipped cream served with it.

There is also a cute photo zone, so order a sweet signature latte and butter bar and go to Pinch with friends to get a great shot. Among Beomgye cafes, I was very satisfied with the space, taste, dessert, and kindness. #BeomgyeStationCafe #BeomgyeDessertCafe #BeomgyePetFriendlyCafe #PrettyBeomgyeCafe #BeomgyeCafeRecommendation #BeomgyeButterBar #BeomgyeDate #BeomgyeCafeGroupSeating
