In Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu, near Garosu-gil, there is a special space that goes beyond an ordinary dessert cafe; it's the very place that sparked the "Croffle Syndrome" in Korea. This is the premium croffle hotspot, SADDLER HAUS.

Starting out as a leather workshop and now established as a must-visit, line-up-required hotspot, this place gently guides everyone to easily experience the true charm of crofflesā€”the absolute epitome of crispy on the outside and chewy on the insideā€”within a trendy and cozy interior.






šŸ“ Location & How to Get There

  • Located on the B1 floor at 10 Dosan-daero 17-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. It offers great accessibility, being about an 8-minute walk from Sinsa Station Exit 8Ā (Line 3 & Shinbundang Line). As you step slightly into the alleys from the main Garosu-gil street, the aesthetic brick exterior and entrance will immediately catch your eye.




šŸ•’ Opening Hours

  • Daily: 9:30 AM ā€“ 6:30 PM

  • Its early opening hours are a big plus, allowing you to enjoy fragrant morning coffee and freshly baked croffles just like a morning brunch. Popular items can sell out by early afternoon, so visiting during the day is highly recommended.



ā˜• Ambience & Menu Highlights

SADDLER HAUS features a uniquely modern and vintage spatial design, setting the perfect mood for photos wherever you stand.

  • Signature Croffle (French Waffle): The highlight here is undoubtedly the experience of enjoying their diverse croffles. Starting with the classic 'Plain', which is perfectly crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, they offer a diverse lineup including the delightfully savory 'Basil'Ā and the ultimate sweet-and-salty 'Cheese', satisfying any dessert lover's cravings.

Drink Pairings: Their heavy-bodied Americano and signature cream drink lineup, which maximize the sweet and buttery flavors of the croffles, boast a charming balance that will make even dessert beginners fall completely in love.




šŸŒæ Why Visit

  • The Croffle of a Lifetime: A unique 'dessert tour' experience where you discover your personal tastes by trying various croffle flavors.

  • Aesthetic Vibe: A modern and cozy basement space where traces of its past as a leather workshop naturally blend in, making it the perfect spot for aesthetic photos.

  • Takeaway Leisure: They offer beautiful packaging, making it perfect for grabbing takeout before heading to a nearby Han River park for a picnic or gifting to friends.

  • Tip: Purchasing the highly popular 'Basil Croffle' and 'Plain Croffle' together and taking alternating bites for that ultimate sweet-and-salty combo is an absolute must-do course here!





šŸš— Travel Tips

  • An 8-minute walk from Sinsa Station Exit 8.

  • Due to the narrow nature of Garosu-gil alleys, parking at the store is extremely difficult. It is highly recommended to use the Singu Elementary School Public Parking LotĀ (a 5-minute walk away) or visit via public transportation.


SADDLER HAUS shatters the prejudice that all croffles taste the same, elevating the pastry into a slice of art. Taste fragrant coffee and freshly baked desserts in a sophisticated and cozy space, and create unforgettable, crispy, and sweet moments with your loved ones.
