C-Four Cake Boutique

Café La Lee, a landmark in Apgujeong, has reopened with a renovated patisserie. Not too long ago, Café La Lee was known as one of the hottest meeting spots in the area rivaling that of a hotel coffee shop, with patrons being turning back for lack of seats. Now reopened with a new name in Sinsa-dong, C-Four Cake Boutique is living up to its reputation as yet another hot spot. The interior may be a tad old school (we can't help but wonder if that's intentional), but its coffee, poured in a large showcase cup, is still worth every penny. If you're feeling dainty, you can also opt to sip your coffee from one of their charming petite cups instead of from a big mug. The tarts and cakes using seasonal fruits are all tempting, but the cream cheese strawberry tart with its generous heap of strawberries is our favorite.
