Heart-shaped, direct-fire cheesecake makes presentation part of the dessert at this Seoul Forest stop. Compare it with a crumble slice or chewy mochi cheesecake for a different texture; the selection suits a sweet dessert-and-photo break, especially if you want to share a cake.

Why visit
- Western Chapter is a cheesecake stop near Seoul Forest where the choice runs from a heart-shaped, direct-fire cheesecake to crumble slices and mochi cheesecake. It suits a dessert-and-photo break, with recent visitors divided over whether the taste justifies the price.DiningCode+1
Choose your cheesecake
- Start with the heart direct-fire cheesecake if presentation is part of the fun. Diningcode’s current menu lists it at ₩10,500, alongside matcha at ₩12,000 and Dubai chocolate at ₩13,000. Those are third-party listed prices, so use them as a budget guide. The heart shape is the clearest choice for a distinctive dessert photo; the flavour variations give you alternatives if matcha or chocolate appeals more than the original.DiningCode
- For a different format, the same listing has a crumble cheesecake slice and mochi cheesecake at ₩8,500 each. Mochi refers to a chewy rice-cake style. Choose a slice for a small tasting stop rather than committing to the mini whole crumble cake, listed at ₩33,000 for two or three people. In her February 2025 account, Regine enjoyed a classic cheesecake slice, but found it thin for the price; her cheesecake-loving mother approved of the flavour.DiningCode+1
Photos, sweetness and value
- Recent individual reports give a useful balance. On July 16, 2026, Diningcode reviewer kimhyun found the heart cheesecake delicious but somewhat expensive, and particularly liked the café lighting for photographs. On January 25, 우은규 liked its appearance but thought the flavour ordinary. An August 25 review by 윪2 praised the atmosphere yet found the desserts sweet enough that one would have been sufficient. If you prefer restrained sweetness, start with one cake and an Americano before ordering more.DiningCode
Leave time for coffee
- Plan the stop before the final half-hour if coffee matters to you. Regine arrived with less than 30 minutes before closing and found the coffee machine already shut down. Ask about last drink orders if you plan to arrive late.starsofheavens
