Welcome to Cafe Tora-b, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Mapo-gu, Seoul, at 24 Wausan-ro 29ba-gil.

Tora-b is renowned for its exquisite pavlova, with flavors that do justice to the dish's New Zealand roots, making it a must-visit for dessert lovers.

The cafe’s menu is notable for its signature pavlova, which has garnered rave reviews from guests.

Honestly the best pavlova I've ever had - and I'm from NZ. The cafe is super cosy and the staff are friendly. We only had to wait around 10 minutes for a table.

I tried pavlova for the first time, and it was amazing! We got a fruits one and a banana Nutella one, but they went pretty well together! Matcha latte and condensed milk latte were also very nice, but having a less sweet drink might be better with pavlova. The cafe itself is also very cute!

홍대에서 독특한 디저트 맛집 찾는다면 5년동안 파블로바의 일정한 식감과 신선한 맛을 느끼실 수 있도록 노력중인 파블로바 맛집 토라비! 맛있다. 분위기도 좋아서 데이트 장소로도 방문해봐도 좋겠다.

#협찬 검색해서 이미 어떤 카페인지 알고 있었지만 방문해보니 더 넓고 테이블도 많고 특히 창가 좌식자리가 너무나 분위기 좋았습니다. 무더운 날에 에어컨도 시원하게 틀어주시고 파블로바 케이크도 맛있게 먹었습니다. 아직도 무더운 여름날이지만 시원하게 맛있는 디저트와 커피 즐기기에 좋은 장소입니다.

홍대에서 파블로바 먹고 싶다면 무조건 여기!! 생과일 파블로바는 겉은 바삭, 속은 폭신하면서 쫄깃한 식감이 정말 매력적이고, 신선한 과일과 크림 조화가 완벽했어요. 말차 갸또는 진한 맛 덕분에 파블로바와 같이 먹기 좋았고, 유자애플티랑 피치 아이스티도 상큼해서 디저트랑 잘 어울렸습니다 진짜 이쁘고 맛있는 곳하트 백개

Nice pavlova place in Hongdae. The café has such a big window that made me feel refreshed. Also, the pavlova was quite tasty. Didn't know pavlova can be chewy and crunchy at the same time. Loved the texture.
