Are you looking for a relaxing, ultra minimalistic cafe? Perhaps one that also serves you floofy pancakes and aromatic coffee beverages? Then let us introduce you to Sarr (사르르) in Hongdae!
The entire front of the cafe is windows and the inside is populated by only grey chairs and tables. Definitely one of the most, if not the most, minimalistic and relaxing atmospheres we've had the pleasure of visiting.
So the way you order is by going up to the front counter. They have a little iPad there that has the menu on it. There's 4 or 5 pancake options as well as a decent selection of coffee and teas. We ended up getting the Buttercream Pancake and the Banana Pancake and paired them with an americano and a vanilla latte.
You have the option of having your beverage served to you first or you can have everything brought to you at once (and that's what we did). It takes a few minutes for them to prepare the pancakes, so that's why they ask.
The pancakes themselves were super fluffy and very much cake-like. They both came sprinkled with blueberries and syrup. The Buttercream Pancake had an additional dollop of actual buttercream and a little cup of vanilla ice cream on the side. The Banana Pancake, on the other hand, was presented with extra syrup and, of course, a banana.
We both agreed that everything was absolutely delicious, but be prepared for a sugar overload. Some people will be fine with this, especially for breakfast, but personally, I was really glad that I had ordered a plain coffee to help cleanse my palette between dainty little bites (also known as: shoveling everything directly into my face).
Just FYI: it was a little expensive. I think we each paid around 15,000 won for our meal + coffee. But, then again, you are getting a full meal, so overall it's not too bad.
Next time, we definitely want to try out some of the teas on the menu, too, especially now that the weather is getting cooler and cooler.
So check out Sarr to get your gourmet pancake fix!
