White Brick House
하얀벽돌집
About
Two-story redone detached house cafe by Sungshin Women's University, filled with classical art, chandeliers, and indulgent desserts.
Tucked into the alleys near Sungshin Women’s University Station, Hayan Byeokdoljip—literally "White Brick House"—operates out of a converted detached brick home. Formerly known as Aphrodite, the two-story hideaway retains its antique, European-inflected aesthetic, pairing painted white masonry with a small outdoor patio. Inside, the space is divided into intimate, softly lit rooms decorated with classical European paintings, miniature sculptures, and a large chandelier suspended above the steep staircase leading to the second floor. Generously stocked shelves of books, communal board games, and cozy lap blankets lend a relaxed, domestic comfort that invites long afternoons. Guests place orders at a first-floor kiosk, but service remains old-school: drinks and confections are delivered directly to tables on vintage-style trays. The drink program leans inventive with signatures like the citrus-laced orangecano, tiramisu affogato, and honey cream black—a rich, velvety coffee topped with sweetened foam. Traditional beverages like hot yuja tea and deep-roast iced Americanos balance the bolder signatures. Sweets are the cafe's centerpiece, built around heavy cocoa and soft cream. The standout tiramisu brownie stacks layers of dense, fudge-like chocolate studded with chocolate chips, airy sponge or ladyfingers, and a generous mound of piped tiramisu cream dusted in cocoa. Those seeking a warm option can opt for the tiramisu toast, while shaved ice bingus and sliced cakes round out the counter display. Whether claiming a single seat flanked by reading material or gathering with friends over cards on the upper floor, Hayan Byeokdoljip offers a quiet, ornate retreat from the surrounding university bustle.
