Our Visit
You can find a photo zone before you even enter the place.
The store isn't that large, but it has clean and neat interior design in all white.
There is a small terrace outside outside. In summer time it would be much more popular, but it's kind of cold for this time around. We ordered menu items recommended by the manager! Let's take a look at them one by one!
First up is the most famous menu from C.THROUGH, Creamart!! If it's your first time in C.THROUGH you should definitely try these Creamart coffees. These lattes are on another level.
I couldn't believe that these were not graphics but actual coffee! Let's take a look at how they are made~
This is the Creamart without the latte art.
Then, they use cream to add latte art on top.
It's very delicate work, and the barista was very careful when creating this work of art.
The colors are made from potato, so it's perfectly safe to consume!
All characters are really cute, and the character on the far right are created by the barista of C.THROUGH!
The bear creamart in the picture above is 7,500 KRW. Creamart of other characters are 8,000 KRW each! The coffee covered by the fluffy cream was sweet with a deep coffee taste.
This super cute Shiba Inu Creamart is now available, and according to the barista, is the most popular character. You can clearly see why it's so popular; it's so cute!! It was definitely too cute to eat, but it was just as delicious as it was cute.
Here are some other popular menus of C.THROUGH! Scotchino is another signature menu item here.
Have you ever tried one of these scotch candies? This Scotchino tastes just like them!
First, the barista pours coffee into a cup.
Then, he pours some cream.
Then, some cocoa powder goes on top!
Then, even more cream!
Voila, you get a beautiful looking Scotchino.
You get an hourglass with your Scotchino. It's best to have before 3 minutes have passed, and this hourglass will empty right at the 3-minute mark. If you can't finish it, at least try to get in the first few sips within 3 minutes! You'll get the best of it!
The upper part is super creamy, and you can enjoy the soft creamy taste with the scent of coffee.
Then I mixed the cream with the coffee... and surprisingly it tasted just like the scotch candy mentioned above! I couldn't help but suspect whether they melted the candy inside the coffee. It was sweet as candy yet had a strong taste of coffee, which I enjoyed.
The next item is another popular menu item! The name is really cute and fun. It's called '웃음이쿠키키키', which kind of means "giggling cookikikikie".
The bottom part is all coffee, and the black part is a thick chocolate cookie. The eyes are also made of chocolate, which look very cute!
The way you eat it is to eat the eyes first, and then have some of the cookie by itself. It's really crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside. The cookie itself was really tasty!
You can try dipping the cookie in the coffee too! The chocolate mixes with the coffee, which makes the coffee more sweet and gives another flavor to it! The coffee itself wasn't as heavy as the Scotchino.
If you enjoy sweets, this dessert will be perfect for you!
When we made a second visit, we tried this dessert with the hazelnut cookie, which was just as delicious!
Caramelting 7,500 KRW
This specialty menu item is coffee with a huge choux pastry on top. You can cut the choux pastry into smaller pieces and dip it in the cream or coffee. The caramel adds even more sweetness to the flavour!
I had some desserts along with the drinks!
Most tiramisu cakes have layers of bread and cream soaked in coffee. C.THROUGH's tiramisu has coffee-soaked bread at the bottom, and loads of cream on top. I've never had tiramisu with so much cream before! It was delicious!
The tiramisu was full of an aroma of coffee, which was really nice! I highly recommend that you try it!
Next, we tried one of the choux pastries! They have six flavors of choux here; custard, match, tiramisu, sesame, caramel, and chocolate. We tried the custard one.
Look at all the cream it's filled with! This choux pastry was especially big – almost as big as my hand!
We also tried the Matcha Croffin, which is a fusion between a muffin and a croissant. Isn't it so cute? We were really satisfied with all the desserts here because they were all really tasty and high-quality.
We really enjoyed C.THROUGH! There were so many unique desserts and they were all delicious. You definitely want to add this to your list when you visit Korea! If you want to see more menu items, check out the C.THROUGH Instagram.
