Sobok

Seoul


One of the most photogenic dessert spots in Seoul, Sobok creates desserts based on Korean ingredients. Its menu varies season to season but the year-round bestseller is the injeolmi (bean powder) soft serve. Each serving comes with a small piece of ice-cream-covered tteok (rice cake), a spoonful of honey and a flower.
