About
Cozy, warm wood-toned cafe near Moran Station serving 100% gluten-free rice cakes, rich gateaux, and rice dacquoise.
Tucked into an alleyway near Moran Station in Seongnam’s Jungwon-gu, Cafe Jeongsun takes its name from the owner’s grandmother—a Korean word meaning upright and earnest. That gentle ethos is evident from the street, where floor-to-ceiling windows draped in lace curtains open into a sunlit room filled with warm wooden furniture, generous space between tables, and a vintage bookshelf stocked for quiet reading. The bakery case is strictly gluten-free, eschewing wheat flour, artificial food coloring, and chemical preservatives entirely in favor of 100 percent domestic rice flour and animal-derived fresh cream. The rotating lineup is anchored by dense rice gâteaux in flavors like nutty black sesame, sweet pumpkin, and vanilla bean. Lighter layered sponge cakes highlight seasonal fruits, pairing soft rice sheets with Earl Grey and fresh figs, peaches, or tangerine and Greek yogurt. The textural contrast extends to crisp-edged rice dacquoise, filled with house butter cream and red bean paste for a savory-sweet ang-butter rendition, as well as a fragrant matcha version that leans deeply nutty over bitter. Whole cakes can also be ordered in advance via Naver, with the counter displaying novelty candles, including carnation shapes for celebrations. The drinks list accommodates dietary preferences just as thoughtfully, with decaf shots and oat milk substitutions available across coffee orders. Guests frequently pair dense black sesame cream lattes with their desserts, alongside naturally sweetened fruit smoothies and house-crafted sips like mugwort lattes, sweet potato lattes, hojicha milk tea, and banana lattes. Distinctive brewed teas include Jeju volcanic rock tea, earl grey lemon tea, and peach papaya black tea. With low ambient noise, gentle music, and available Wi-Fi, it offers a peaceful retreat for working on a laptop, flipping through a novel, or settling in for unhurried conversation. Parking is not offered on-site, making nearby public parking lots or Moran Station the best route in.
