If you are obsessed with Mickey-shaped food, get ready to go on an ADVENTURE. Whether it’s waffles, savory snacks, or Mickey premium bars, Mickey-shaped food just tastes better, right?!
You probably know about alllllllll of the Mickey-shaped snacks you can get in the regular spots — like the ones mentioned above or those iconic Mickey-shaped beignets — but if you’re looking for a seriously EPIC Mickey-shaped snack, you’re going to have to visit a very unexpected spot!
Recently, a member of the DFB team went on an adventure that took them far, far away from the Most Magical Place on Earth and the Happiest Place on Earth. Nope, they weren’t anywhere in the U.S. And they weren’t at an international Disney park either. ?
Nope, their travels took them to Seoul, South Korea! That’s where they found the most EPIC Disney snack. Allow us to introduce you to a little cafe called Come to Rest (@come.to.rest on Instagram).
This little spot is located in Hoegi. Walking past it, you might not expect it to have a delicious and surprising Disney dessert inside, but does this spot have some SECRETS!
If you walk inside, you’ll find an adorable cafe. Again, you’re probably thinking, “okay, I’ll come here and get some coffee, but where’s the Disney?!” Well, hold up just one second, we’re getting to it!
You get a small taste of Disney through some of the vintage Disney posters hanging on the wall.
How fun are these?!
But it’s what’s on the menu that’ll really shock you. The menu has different kinds of coffee drinks, non-coffee offerings, and tea. But it’s the desserts we’re after!
Under the “today’s dessert” section, you’ll find an item with a Mickey symbol next to it. Okay, you have our attention!
What is this dessert you ask? It’s a Mickey Panna Cotta! It’s described on the menu (roughly translated) as a soft vanilla-flavored Italian milk pudding, and it costs 4500 won. Today that converts to $3.34 U.S. dollars, but that changes daily. Still, a Mickey-shaped snack for under $5? You’ve got our attention!
We (of course) had to grab one, and its design did NOT disappoint.
UMMMMM hello? The dessert police called, they said this snack is so ridiculously adorable it is surely ILLEGAL!
Okay, okay. Let’s just take one more second to admire how absolutely PERFECT this thing is. It was so smooth and the mold used to get that Mickey face shape worked incredibly well. We were astounded!
It was so adorable that we almost (keyword: ALMOST) felt too guilty to eat it. But in the name of science, we had to dig in!
Our DFB team member who tried it shared that they didn’t expect to like it. Oftentimes, snacks that are this cute simply focus too much on presentation and don’t deliver when it comes to flavor and texture. But this did NOT fall into that category. The treat was incredibly soft and creamy and delicious!
That menu description of it being a soft vanilla-flavored Italian milk pudding was pretty accurate! It had a soft vanilla flavor that was sweet, but not overly so.
The brown syrup included wasn’t really described on the menu, but it was very light and had a sort of maple flavor to it, but it wasn’t super sticky like maple syrup. Instead, it was more watery in terms of the overall texture.
Truly, this dessert was a win for us. It was amazing and just melts in your mouth.
Who would this dessert be perfect for? Well, a lot of people! Our DFB team member shared that they felt like it could be a great fit for everyone from a kid with a sweet tooth to a person who doesn’t love things that are overly sweet. It had just the right balance!
Oh, and these beauties were VERY popular. Just about everyone in the Cafe was grabbing one, so it’s a dish you won’t want to miss out on if you happen to stop by Come to Rest in the future (provided the dish is still available when you go).
Check out our full Instagram video all about this beauty.
