Order/pay then find a seat! Food will be brought o you. They have food and drinks. Only got their food this time around but would love to come back for their drinks. Good study or hangout spot. Got their tteokbokki & shrimp udon. Both on the sweeter side. The tteokbokki is spicy so if you cant handle spice I wouldn't recommend.
Not so good anymore. They've been inconsistent for the past couple months and it stayed that way, maybe they changed the recipe or the matcha powder? The matcha color is not the same anymore, it used to look pretty green. I know they pre-batched their matcha before hand, but it used to be good back then. We got the Cloud Matcha Latte, Honey Lavender Matcha, Butterfly Lavender Matcha Latte, and Strawberry Lemonade. The cloud matcha was the one that tasted the best, the lavender matcha was so bland and had no honey taste. Surprisingly, the strawberry lemonade was the best drink out of all the things we got. Not sure if I'll come back since there are better matcha places in the area.
Such a cute cafe in Plano. Cafe HwaSan has great food and delicious drinks. My favorite thing to eat is the rose udon! I love trying different drinks every time I visit.
The Seoul Ham and Egg Toast is fantastic. Avocado poached egg toast was good but reallly difficult to eat. Herb salted fries were okay, had parm on them and really detracted from the overall flavor and texture. Highly recommmend any of the lattes. Adorable coffee and brunch spot and probably my go to of all the shops in this strip.
I love Cafe Hwasan! I've been here multiple times already and I'm always so impressed by their presentation of their food and the creativity of their coffee drinks. I think I have liked all my coffee drinks from here. Only thing with this place is that it's usually so packed since it's a cafe, you order up front and find a seat yourself. Since people bring their laptops and work here, it might be hard to find seating during mealtimes.
The food was very aesthetic but the pastas weren't as great. We really liked the waffle and the katsu. The service was good !
I was meeting my brother over in Carrollton, for Christmas brunch, I got the Seoul toast and he got a bowl with rice and Bulgogi... we also got tea which was hot and very delicious, so delicious. I went back and got a second one. My toast was a really nice breakfast sandwich. But not like the toast I got in Korea, where it was a larger piece of bread that was kind of almost cut in half and then filled. This was actually two pieces of bread and I enjoyed it. I also got some kimchi fries which were very tasty topped with bacon. The boys really enjoyed it. it was a cute little place right next to a grocery store, and there were a lot of things to go try in the shopping center... My brother was excited to find a Russian grocery store. We will definitely be back.
5/5 Service: staff was very kind 4/5 Ambiance: cute interior with plenty of seating but echos alot 1/5 Food: presentation and portion size is good but extremely salty! Not sure if it was their off day but the amount of salt used was too much.
What a lovely cafe! I tried the tiramisu matcha latte and the matcha was creamy and light. The cold foam paired well with the matcha. The tiramisu flavor wasn't that noticeable but still such a good drink. The cafe itself is decorated so well and aesthetic. I'm eager to come back and try more off of the menu!
I liked the cloud matcha latte a lot! It was just the right amount of sweetness. This is a pretty good place for Korean-fusion food. I wish I got to try the rosé udon. I was a little disappointed with the katsu sando bc I paid about $13 and they cut a piece of bread three way. I guess it was a little more dense because of the katsu but I was honestly shocked at the price. I'll try the other food in the menu but it was pretty good nonetheless.
Amazing food. Amazing service. AND they're open til 8 pm. What more could you want ? I got the school tteokbokki , chai matcha latte and a cookies n cream croffle. The service was so fast ! We didn't wait long for our drinks nor food. You pick up your drinks and they bring the food to your table. Trudy was amazing, she's very sweet and suggested the cookies and cream croffle which was AMAZING. Just get it. The school tteokbokki was too good to describe. Everything tasted exactly like it was supposed to, it was hot, deliciously spicy and very fulfilling, i couldn't even finish it all. The chai matcha latte was really good ! I'm not a fan of matcha so this was better than i could've expected. It's a good mix of earthy and sweet. The cookies and cream croffle was impressive. I can't eat anything too sweet so even though it looked like a massive cavity, it didn't make me feel that way. The croffle was perfectly crisp, mild in flavor but it grounds the sweetness of the cookies and ice cream perfectly. I ate it so fast i got a brain freeze The ambience was very amicable, communal, and relaxed. This is a great place for groups and singles. I love coming here and can't wait to try out more of their menu
I love cafe hwasan! I love that they have their full menu available all day! Their menu has such a variety of items so you always have many options to choose from. We ordered drinks and food and I enjoyed all of them! We ordered the tiramisu matcha, and the cloud matcha which was what was recommended by the worker when I asked her what she would recommend for drinks. The tiramisu one was good I wish it was more tiramisu flavor cause I mostly just tasted the cheese foam, the cloud matcha was good it just really tasted like a regular matcha. For the food we ordered katsu curry rice and Seoul ham egg toast. The katsu curry was fresh and good, the curry didn't have a deep flavor like other curries though. The Seoul egg toast was so good I loved the hash brown in it! I definitely liked the inside it's nice and cozy and if you were ever wanting to study there theres enough tables! Also a great place to catch up with friends!! I will definitely be back
Such a pretty interior with EXCELLENT coffee and matcha drinks! We wanted a matcha latte while we were in the area, so we decided to try this place out. The drinks came out quickly, and they were perfectly sweet and creamy. It's my current favorite matcha latte in DFW, and I absolutely want to come back for the food.

Ordered a strawberry matcha with coconut milk and honey, kimchi fried rice with bulgogi and the breakfast hash. Strawberry matcha was delicious but should've asked for less ice. The strawberry puree had larger chunks of strawberry which was tasty but you need the larger boba straw for it. The kimchi fried rice was probably some of the best I've had. So flavorful, not too spicy and the bulgogi added the perfect sweetness. To add the bulgogi was +$6 which I thought was a little steep and I wasn't given a lot. But even for that high price tag, I'd order again. The breakfast hash had a very flavorful brown sauce that was addicting. But wouldn't order again. Service is minimal but good. And the girl helping us at the register was sweet and patient. There were enough tables and it was cute and relaxed inside. Would come again for that kimchi rice but I do feel like overall, a pretty expensive experience. read more

OK, a few things to note about this place. It's dirty and they have sticky tables. Customer service from the ladies working is dry & cold. The food: I ordered the garlic fries. There was absolutely no garlic on them but a boat ton of Parmesan cheese that I had to shake off every fry. The fried chicken croffel was pretty good, nice and hot. Strawberry lemonade was refreshing. Americano taste like gas station coffee. Seats are hard and uncomfortable, definitely didn't pass the vibe check. read more

Very cute Korean fusion brunch spot in Plano with great food! You order at the counter near the front of the restaurant and once you've placed your order, you find a table. I came with a friend on a Sunday around noon and were able to easily get a table for 2. The food came out very promptly after ordering! I tried their strawberry lemonade which was perfectly refreshing on a hot day, plus it even came with cut up pieces of strawberries in the drink. For food, I got their Seoul ham egg toast which I was dying to try. It's two thick slices of buttered toast with ham, egg, cheese, and a hash brown in the middle -- what's not to like? The sandwich looked a bit daunting at first because of how thick it is but it was honestly pretty easy to handle and eat. I will say that the sweet mayo and powdered sugar on the sandwich does make it a sweet & savory brunch option, but I thoroughly enjoyed it :) read more
We tried this place earlier today for brunch and were glad we gave it a shot. We started with Spicy Glazed Dumplings. The sauce was more of a sweet with some spice flavor rather than too much heat for my liking. The dumplings were fried and I would have preferred steamed. My husband had the Bulgogi Rice Bowl and really liked the flavor of the meat. The portion size was perfect for him. I went with the Smoked Salmon Croffle for something different. The mix of sweet from the ricotta with the salt of the capers and smoked salmon was a bit different but delicious. The presentation was pretty cool. There was so much on top of the croffle that I wasn't sure what that tasted like on its own. I also had a lavender matcha latte to enjoy with my meal. It was delicious and hit the spot on a chilly day. You order at the counter and then you pick up drink orders at the counter when ready and they bring out the food to your table. When done, they ask you to clean your dishes off the table and at a station by the door. This is good to know as you are asked to tip at time of purchase so you can plan accordingly. The menu has lots of different food and drink options so we look forward to returning and trying other things! read more
Such a cute little spot for Korean brunch. The menu looked amazing, even though I didn't get to try much this time, the matcha and pork dumplings I had were so good. Really flavorful and fresh. Honestly surprised more people don't know about this place, it definitely deserves more attention. Can't wait to come back and try more from the menu! read more

One of my favorite restaurants in Dallas now because of the range of food, cute decorations, good drinks and great staff. The menu is so long and it ranges from dishes like burgers to udon to brunch to matcha. We got the rose buldak bacon udon which was my favorite. Very spicy just the way I like it with alot of chicken and perfectly cooked udon noodles. The sauce was thick and yummy. The kimichi bacon creamy udon was exactly what I wanted it to be and had a good cream flavor. The mom's tteokbbooki I only had alittle but the tteokbbooki was well cooked as well. read more
Update: I have been going here after work for days straight. Another hidden gem I loved, that is now getting all the hype it deserves since it went viral. Understandably so, because the Cloud Matcha Latte is IT! The matcha itself is sweet just how I like it, but the whipped cream really brings it together. I'm truly obsessed and would drink this matcha multiple times a day if I could. read more

Cafe Hwasan is a perfect Korean-style brunch joint! They gave a few fusion-items like bulgogi fries and Korean tacos. The majority of the menu are standard noodles/rice dishes. They also have some sweet entrees that make for a perfect morning out. Drinks: I had a ton of paralysis of choice (most of the drinks sound delightful), but I'm very glad I went with the signature cloud matcha. Tasty matcha with foam/cream of a perfect consistency. Food: the bulgogi fries are actually a great deal since they gave a good amount of meat with the fries. The entrees were all huge! I personally got a brown cheese croffle, which is a croissant/waffle topped with ice cream and caramel-y shredded cheese - very interesting, but VERY cheesy (definitely overwhelmed the caramel aspect of it). Glad I tried but will probably get something different next time. read more

Was around the area and decided to check out this cafe. It's very nicely decorated, and the service was great and pretty fast. I got the cloud matcha it was good, and the whipped cream on top made it creamier. Flavor wise, it was what you'd expect from a classic matcha latte. I also ordered food to go, the kimchi bacon creamy udon, and that was the standout. I usually don't finish my meals and end up saving some for later, but I really enjoyed this one. The kimchi wasn't overpowering, and the bacon added a nice layer of umami. Overall, I'd come back to try more dishes, even just to grab a drink and do some work! read more

Met up with a friend during spring break and we got a drink at cafe hwasan. This is one of my favorite Korean cafes in Dallas and I just copied them and got the cloud matcha latte. It's basically a matcha einspanner, it has agave and handmade whipped creme. The matcha was good quality and I really like the crème. It was a good sweetness level and I enjoyed my drink a lot. read more
I love this cafe for studying, catching up with friends, and getting matcha. It's a cozy spot with good picks for modern Korean style food. However, I can't condone a place that takes tips from their workers. I used to tip until I was made aware that the owner doesn't distribute it back to the staff. read more
I liked the matcha flavor. It is very sweet but creamy. The tiramisu was good and a solid coffee option. I came here to study and it wad a great spot to do so. The cafe is super well decorated and a really nice spot to study in. The workers were also super friendly and gave some wonderful recommendations. I will definitely come back to try some of the food next time. read more

Really enjoyed this place. The drinks were spot on, and we were very glad with our choices after having a difficult time deciding. Sandwiches were spot on, and it would be hard not getting those again. Looking around at other meals at people's tables, everything looked great, so next time will be hard making a decision! Fries were a good choice to share... Only reason to not give five stars? And this may seem petty... They only have little square drink size napkins. Also would be nice if the water at the self serve, water table were chilled, or having ice was an easy option (although admittedly did not ask for a cup of ice from the counter) Long story short: everything we ate was great and totally will go back read more

Disclaimer: this was first posted on google maps a year ago! I just made a yelp account! My apologies if there has been changes since then! I've been here a lot of times, mostly to study. The place is really clean and cute overall. I mainly get drinks here but my favorite has to be the Lotus Oatmilk Latte. I have tried a lot of other drinks (I have pictures somewhere but I'm pretty sure I lost them; if I do end up finding them, I will definitely put them up) but I tend to go back to the ones that I know and love! Obviously, with the amount of pictures I posted, you can probably tell that I have tried a decent amount of things here (but definitely not everything). Food-wise, it is really good and I'm glad that we have something here like this in this particular area. But when compared to when they first opened, the prices definitely increased. But if you're willing to spend the money on the food, it is worth it. read more

Would say 4.5 stars, rounding up to 5. Stopped by around 1pm on a weekday. It's attached to the side of the ZTao Asian Market, which makes it easy to miss if you're not paying attention, but I'm glad we found it. It's self-seating here. You grab a menu yourself, pick a table, then head up to the register to order. They give you a number for your food and a buzzer for drinks. Everything came out pretty fast, and there was plenty of open seating when I went. I got the Seoul ham egg toast and a cloud matcha. The toast tasted freshly made...warm, crunchy, and filling without being too heavy. Flavor was just ok. The real standout for me was the matcha. Not too sweet, and the sweet cream on top was really good. I'd come back just for that drink. The space felt clean and casual, and it's a good stop if you're in the area or popping into ZTao. Looking forward to trying more of the menu next time. read more
I have been hearing about Cafe HwaSan for a while now and finally got to try it for dinner and was so impressed! They have the ambiance of an ideal cozy cafe down to a science! Also the food was amazing!! My husband got the Katsu with rose tteokbokki and I got the bulgogi kimchi tacos and we were so impressed. The tacos had a great fusion flavor and the tteokbokki was perfectly spicy! We also tried their peach peony tea and if you're a tea lover like me PLEASE try this! It felt like sipping springtime!! I cannot wait to come back and try more drinks and different food items!! read more
