Since Mooni Cafe is both a cafe and a bakery, you can count on them for delicious bakes and pastries for the perfect afternoon tea.
They specialise in “cronuts”, which is the delightful lovechild of donuts and croissants.

Their strawberry custard cronut (KRW5,500, ~USD4.35) and the blueberry cronuts (KRW5,800, ~USD4.58) are popular choices amongst customers, and they are usually quickly swept off the shelves.
