This is a new Asian fusion brunch place in the KD square. The interior is very aesthetic and gives instagram vibes. Don't be scared that this is one of those instagram places that has bad food, bc the food was bussin! We got the bulgogi breakfast hash, strawberry croffle, and a matcha latte, and all three were simply delectable. I will definitely be coming back here to try some more menu items! read more

The place looks a bit dated and not very clean. Food was ok but notbb be impressed. Service was good. It was just not what I was looking for in a Korean cafe. read more

Has great coffee and desserts. Good variety! Haven't tasted their "normal" food but it looks good!

After many months since the opening, I was able to stop by to try some food and drinks. First, I love their interior look as well as how spacious the place is. Now, this is something they can't control, but there was a group of people that were way too loud. Learn to have manners! Besides them, all the wall sitting areas were filled with people working on something. We tried Avocado Toast, Curry Katsu (chicken), and Kimchi Udon. All 3 were super tasty - well flavored, well balanced, and very fresh! Chicken Katsu was juicy and very crispy - blended really well with their curry. Kimchi Udon was great as well - though, udon was very broken apart and little bit oily. However, very well flavored - wanted to put rice and mix together, lol. Acocado Toast was great as well - every veggies were fresh. For drinks, we had take out - Tiramisu Latte, Hibiscus Rose Lemon Cooler, and Strawberry Matcha. I will say, they need better lids.. Best of 3 was Hibiscus Rose Lemon Cooler - tarty, sweet, and floral in all taste buds. Tiramisu Latte was great as well, but order if you want strong coffee. Strawberry Matcha was little dud for me. Personally, I think they need to add more strawberry puree/jam to add stronger strawberry flavor to the drink. Besides that, I can tell they use decent matcha. Overall, I'd return to try other food items as well as drinks. Just hoping there aren't group of kids shouting out loud. read more

My friend and I came in for brunch and we were both very disappointed. The avocado toast was not good at all. The tomato that was on it was old and rotten. The corn tasted like they just opened a can of corn and dumped it on. The avocado was old and tasteless. The salad was not good. read more

Cafe HwaSan - Avocado Toast - Korean Near Me - Plano, Texas

Super cute cafe with food worth coming back for. I think this maybe the first Asian type brunch place that serves more than pastries. They open at 9:30 am. The rose pasta was super creamy and may be a little too heavy for brunch but it was still delicious. The strawberry croffle was amazing! The housemade cream was light and airy. My kids fought over it, so I had to order seconds. I will definitely come back and try their other dishes and drinks too! read more

Really cute cafe to sit down and grab a bite. The udon was good but I wish it had more of a tangy flavor to it from the kimchi. Strawberry matcha was slightly bland and all I could taste was the milk. I am willing to give this place another try cause they have a good looking menu. read more

Came on a Wednesday for a hump day brunch. Nice & quiet & not crowded, but with steady to-go orders. Ordered the breakfast croffle with avocado on the side, matcha yuzu tonic & sencha mint tea to go. My dilemma is always between sweet & savory & the croffle satisfied both. All their food is made fresh to order & the croffle was no exception. The light sweetness & buttery crispy croissant texture balanced the ham & cheese, which were not overly salty or globby. The flavoring was just right so the side of syrup was not needed. The matcha yuzu tonic made with Fever Tree, was refreshing; best description would be matcha flavored Sprite. It was a little too sweet for my taste since I am trying to cut sugar, so I enjoyed the unsweetened sencha mint tea more. Service staff was sweet & helpful & set me up with a punch card for drinks (buy 10 get one free). She recommended the chicken croffle & bulgogi breakfast hash for next time, so I'll be back! read more

Been coming here since a couple of years ago. Service has always been great! Lots of coffee flavors to choose from.

This is such a cute cafe! The decor is very nice and cozy. Their menu is huge and has lots of options for food and drinks. Food came out super fast and our servers were very nice. We expected smaller/lighter cafe food but there were bigger/heavier options for a fuller meal. Portions were also bigger than expected so were very filling. The one item we didn't really like was the JjangJang Tteokbokki - it tasted like one of our instant jjangjang noodle packets and was quite watery. Otherwise, everything else was quite good! There were lots of people sitting and studying at the cafe as well since there was ample space and seating. Definitely would recommend going more than once to get a good sampling of all the menu options! read more

Cute cafe located in Plano next to zTao super market. The coffee menu is large and I must say very good! I had the matcha cream cafe and it was like a latte topped with luscious matcha cream. The iced travel was very unique, it was like an iced latte topped with ice cream and chocolate sauce! The inside was super well decorated and the staff was friendly. They do have a menu with what looks like Korean fusion food, will have to try it out next time! read more

I love this place. I am a repeat customer. I've yet to order most of their food items, but I love the coffee and the desserts because they hit every time. This is one of the only places in the area I can get an Einspanner latte and I love adding vanilla syrup. Croffle wise, strawberry, and tiramisu are my favorites. The strawberry croffle especially goes well with cafe drinks that aren't too sweet, so it's a perfect balance. Service has always been pretty good when I go, nothing takes too long usually. Coffee comes out pretty fast too. I love meeting up with friends here or even just stopping by to get a drink for the road. The ambiance is also nice and there's a bunch of different table styles to choose from. read more

Tip- Order drinks and food at register. Misleading that the menu is at the table thinking there is a server. They have breakfast from avocado toast to ramen and tacos. I got garden eggs Benedict you can add protein, I had ham. The bread was toasted which was nice touch a lot of times when you order Benedict on bread it's soft and soggy. The banana Nutella was tasty the croffle was crispy and not as heavy and dense as a regular Belgium waffle. Overall presentation matched the taste very pleasing and IG worthy. The bakery item, monkey bread was dense maybe better if it was warmed. Would definitely come back and try taco and lunch items, this place is a local gem. read more

Cafe HwaSan - Cloud Matcha Latte - Korean Near Me - Plano, Texas

Best matcha latte you can get, and very kind staff! My cousin from Pakistan is a bit of a matcha enthusiast, and unfortunately can't get great matcha back home. This was her favorite spot to get matcha from when visiting them summer. The ambiance is very cute and the food is also great for the price. Great spot to take care of some work if you don't mind a bit of noise (not too noisy). If you're a fan of matcha or looking for a cute place to sit down and get some work done, I recommend stopping by. read more

Came for breakfast and brunch and we liked everything we got! We had vegetarians, some lactose intolerant people, and a baby in our group. They have a wide variety of food and drinks with accommodating options available. The cashier readily took the modifications we requested for and when a poached egg came out with our food instead of scrambled eggs the staff quickly took care of it at no extra charge. Had a really hard time deciding due to the amount of delicious options! Loved everything we ordered so much so that we only got a couple pictures. Lots of drink options for coffee & tea lovers. Enjoyed both a savory & sweet croffle along with a bulgogi bowl and curry bowl. Wish there was a changing table in the restroom, but otherwise restroom and the entire restaurant was clean. read more

quiet, cute cafe with lots of delicious coffee and food options! The service is very friendly and helps you with anything you need. The ambiance is chill, quiet music in the background, and cozy vibes all around. Nice place to study or bring some friends. There are lots of food options as well for quick eats, or coffee choices for long study sessions or early risers (as the place doesn't stay open late). I would consider the food here more comfy than quality. This place has a lot of things you would usually crave on a random night and I enjoyed it a lot. I came by on a Wednesday evening and it was very quiet and relaxed. I got the Chicken Spicy Yaki-Udon & Kimchi Bacon Creamy Udon and both were great. The udon noodles were just frozen udon, but the flavors of both made the dish different and added so much. The Spicy Chicken Yaki-Udon had a good spice and lots of chicken. The Kimchi Bacon Creamy Udon was very creamy and very cheesy. Finished our meal with a croffle which was excellent. Cold Ice cream with a nice warm, soft croffle was perfect to end the night. comfortable cafe, cozy vibes, friendly service and delicious food! read more

If you're looking for Korean snacks and drinks, this is the place to be! I had about 30 min to grab lunch and got the Seoul Ham and cheese Sandwich. So much more than you think it's gonna be. There was definitely a hash brown and egg in there too. It was such a thick sandwich I could not get my mouth over it! Luckily they provide you with fork and knife! I also got a black tea to go with my sandwich. The tea bag is HUGE and stuffed so don't let it steep too long, or the tea will be too strong. I loved they were playing kpop overhead when I was there! Yay! So fun! Strong wifi so I could get some work done. I'll be back for lunch when I'm in the area for sure! read more

Okay yes! I came here on a Sunday afternoon and there was no wait. There were lots of open seats- I'd definitely come to work here. The Tiramisu Latte was reallly good, so creamy with a strong coffee flavor still. Not too sweet! The food was also surprisingly good. The Tiramisu Croffle had a great crispy texture and paired so well with the cheese cream. The Ham and Egg Toast was sweeter than I expected and a bit heavy. I really liked this place and can't wait to try more~ read more

I've only uber eats from Cafe Hwasan but every single time I have it has been absolutely phenomenal! I love their udon noodles with the bulgogi beef. It's so yummy and I enjoy the portion of it! The veggies are crunchy and delicious and the sauce makes the whole thing perfect to me. I get my food pretty fast too! The ambiance of the restaurant looks fun although I've never been in there. read more

Place is much more than a coffee shop as they have food and dessert. We ordered coffee and dessert, and I definitely want to try more. I do like the Einspanner better at other places. Although, not many cafes make it here. Upon entering, you order at the counter, and there is a pickup for drinks. For the food, they'll bring it to your table. I did like the decor, and the place is not a quiet place. read more

This cafe is a cute place to get some food! You order food/drink at the register, and they bring you the food but you have to grab the drinks. Also, we saw many people studying there. The rose tteokbokki was DELICIOUS! It had a strong sausage flavor due to the sausage and bacon in it but it was very a unique flavor that we enjoyed. I would get it again! The bulgogi kimchi fries was a good portion size with lots of bulgogi and kimchi. It was tasty but the flavors did get fatiguing so I probably wouldn't get it again. We did not enjoy the chicken wings. The chicken was extemely difficult to chew. We did not finish them and had to throw them away. It was a little disappointing... The cloud matcha latte was DELICIOUS - 10/10 would definitely get again! It was a great balance of matcha flavor and sweetness - a little more on the sweet side but I loved it! Overall, I'd come back for the rose tteokbokki and give some other menu items a try as well! read more

My family really enjoyed our visit here 5 stars for the combination of creative brunch options and solid espresso drinks made with Onyx lab beans. Husband and I both enjoyed our cappuccinos. The avocado toast has a generous portion of smashed avocado, cheese, and greens. Perfectly poached egg really brings it all together and is worth the $2 add on. The croffle with chicken was unique and well done. The croffle is doughy and buttery. The chicken is really well crisped and flavorful. This makes me think any of the dishes with fried chicken would be a good choice. The environment is warm and charming. The staff is friendly. You order at the counter and bus your own table. Great vibes here. read more

Cafe Hwasan is a great place to grab brunch and dessert! I was not expecting that high quality of food since it is a cafe, but I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious our orders were. I tried the spicy chicken udon, and it was so flavorful and light. I also tried the strawberry croffle, which was great, but I would try the other more unique flavors next time (we were with a picky eater lol). As for ambiance, the cafe is pretty loud on the weekend and it may be hard to find a seat indoors. read more

An instagrammable hangout spot that offers Korean Fusion Breakfast items and some traditional Korean dishes. This place makes me feel old when the majority of the clients are college students. Granted, it was a Monday at 11:30am , but Im certain I was the only person over 30 in there at the time. The Bulbogi Kimchi Fries are a nice asian fusion dish of cheese fries and korean ingredients. The kimchi had enough character in its fermented tang without being overwhelming or faint. The bulgogi was tender and had a great marinade. The Seoul Ham and Egg Toast hits the spot! Tons of ham and egg flavor, along with a crispy layer of hash brown in the mix. If youre wanting a breakfast sandwich that will fill you up but wont make you feel like shit, then go for this one. read more

Cute little place with really fresh and tasty dishes! The seating is a bit limited if you have a large party, but I loved the cafe-type vibes. We ordered the rose tteokbokki, the crispy chicken sandwich, bulgogi kimchi fries, bulgogi tacos, and the Oreo croffle. Everything was super hot and freshly made, and the chicken was really crispy. The kimchi fries were good, but they did have a lot of kimchi on them. We ordered the bulgogi tacos and the bulgogi fries and they had basically the same toppings, so next time we would probably go with just one. Our favorite was the rose tteokbokki, especially the sauce! We dipped our fries in the leftover tteokbokki sauce, which was really tasty. The croffle was refreshing and a great sweet treat after the meal! I would definitely come back for brunch or lunch sometime. read more

Food: 4/5 Drinks: (depends) Service: 5/5 Interior: 5/5 My friend and I came here for Thursday lunch with much excitement. Finally, a nearby Asian cafe with savory food and a variety of drinks. This place did not let us down! We got the following dishes and drinks: * Bulgogi Taco * Good, and a nice balance of flavors (acidic and sweet, especially). We had the food and drinks below before we reached this one, so we had to take this one home with us! (4/5) * K-Spicy Chicken Burger * Not spicy and tastes great. The sandwich is perfectly packed with a good amount of chicken (you know it's real when it "shreds") and coleslaw/veggies. A very filling tray of food. (4/5) * Strawberry Croffle * Fresh strawberries, delicious textures, and not too sweet! My favorite part was that the cream on top didn't melt everywhere after 5 minutes. It maintained its form until the very end. (4/5) * Matcha Cream Cafe Latte * The flavor mix of coffee and matcha cream didn't match our personal preferences. We'll be trying other coffee lattes on the menu next time though! (1/5) * Cloud Matcha Latte * Love, love, LOVE! Both my friend and I appreciated the actual matcha texture and "rawer" flavor in this drink. There's a perfect level of sweetness, and we would definitely get this again. (5/5) Amazing service! They bring the food to your table and are very prompt with making the food and drinks. Overall, looks like a great place to study and get a solid meal and tasty drink on the side. Hoping to come back and try new things again soon. read more

Pretty good place to hang out with kpop music! The staff was friendly and its very clean inside. The order the food came out, tiramisu waffles then my french toast fried chicken was not "correct" but im glad because I loved the waffles. The cream was fairly light and not too sweet. The wafer was fresh and the waffles had a good bite to it. Id for sure come and get the others like strawberry next time. Perfect amount of sweetness. My french toast fried chicken was pretty good and juicy korean fried chicken. French toast was standard. I could not finish it since its a ton! My friends french fry was pipin hot, crinkle style, but it was not exactly crispy to my liking. Fairly priced foods, I would come back! read more

This was my first time trying Cafe HwaSan but definitely not my last! Our food was incredible! We ordered off of UberEats and it was well worth it! I ordered the chicken sandwich with fries for my daughter, and she said it was very yummy. For myself, I ordered the avocado toast and added bacon, kimchi, egg, and smoked salmon. It was truly decadent! One of the best avocado toasts I've ever had! And the little salad on the side was a great way to break up some of the heavier ingredients from the taste. I will definitely want this again, but also very likely to try other items off the menu again! read more

Such a cute cafe with a nice dark/woody interior so lovely!!!!! This place is suitable for studying and also for dining in... definitely a great brunch location!! (There r outlets near the tables along the back to charge your devices) We ordered the: - kimchi udon - rosé udon So saucey very salty n scrumptious dumptious They tasted slightly similar though so I would recommend ordering one of the udons and trying other dishes on the menu! I am also a major matcha fan and the Snow Matcha Latte had a great matcha flavor! I also tried the regular matcha latte and liked it just as much :) Service is great and fast! You order at the front and they deliver your food to u.

So! Good!!!! Drinks: Iced Americano and Tiramisu Latte, you can tell they use good quality coffee in both drinks. My sister got the tiramisu latte, and i'm not much of a sweet drink person, but the tiramisu latte was the perfect level of sweet without compromising coffee flavor! Food: the croffle was SO GOOD!! I'm a sucker for whipped cream and the marscapone cream they put on the croffle was perfect. The croffle itself was nice and crispy and paired really well with the red bean and cream. My favorite thing I got here! Seoul ham and egg toast, also very good! I liked the sweet condensed milk ans powdered sugar on top. Really filling and perfect brunch food. The bulgogi hash was probably my least favorite of the three things, not that it was bad but the other items definitely outshined it. Also filling, with crispy potatoes and a good amount of bulgogi on there! The sauce was a tad sweet for me, but could be just right for you. The cafe itself was super cute, beautifully decorated and they played nice cafe vibe music. The woman helping us at the counter was friendly as well!

Cute setup very easy to miss. Very tiny patio with a single door entrance, very easy to walk by and miss. Once you're inside there's much more space and the tables are huge. The menus are on clipboards so it takes a minute to see everything and decided what to order if new. Service is a little different. Maybe a language barrier but otherwise they don't speak much. Could be helpful and welcoming to new customers if they offered recommendations or suggestions. What we did order didn't fail since we devoured every last bite. Absolutely delicious. We tried ramen tteokbokki, salmon poke bowl and the sausage carbonara... all bursting with fresh, flavorful ingredients and very generous servings. They don't serve soft drink and we weren't in the mood for coffees.. water is available. read more

It's small and casual, but the food was good. You order at the counter. They bring the food, but you have to pick up your own drinks. The staff was nice with the limited interaction we had with them. I got the Seoul Toast a huge breakfast sandwich with a crispy hash brown, egg, cheese, and a slightly sweet mayo. It comes with a sprinkle of powdered sugar, but I didn't want that. I saved my sugar for the Lotus croffle! It was so good. The croffle was chewy with a little bit of crunch covered in the lightest, fluffiest cream and biscoff butter topped with a cookie. Rita had the rose udon. It was very flavorful with chewy noodles, sausage, and sauce with a kick. She also had a banana Nutella croffle. We washed it all down with tasty drinks of Matcha Latte and peach hibiscus tea. read more

Would definitely recommend this cafe as a great casual meet-up or chill studying space! There are evenly spaced outlets for your phone, tablet, laptop, etc, and a whole bunch of different seating/table options (you want chairs? A picnic-style bench? Etc. They got them!). The vibes are super cute, and there's a great homemade feel to the menu options. I'm really impressed by the cream latte drinks, and if you're a matcha fan, there's a lot of ceremonial grade matcha options for you to try. I stopped by during the Soft Opening and had a few of the food options, and while the menu's since been revised, I 100% endorse the owner's authentic Korean umma energy. read more
