itโs 2023 and cafes have always been a thing, but to stay in trend and keep visitors coming back, this cafe offers more than just tasty pastries and heart warming coffees.
at ๐๐ง๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฎ๐ค outlet, the vibes are more than your regular cafe because of its specialty decor. Koreaโs well-known for itโs traditional palaces and this outlet brings out only the best mix of traditional and modern concepts. with huge seating areas, thereโs one with flat cushions to sit on (youโd have to remove your footwear before entering!) along with a low wooden table, just like the olden days, and another area which has regular tables and chairs.

another outlet to check out for more hipster vibes would be the ๐๐๐จ๐ง๐ ๐ฌ๐ฎ-๐๐จ๐ง๐ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ฅ๐๐ญ thatโs more industrial looking with a rooftop area to chill out at when the weather is cool and breezy, and even get your ootd taken! the Seongsu-dong area is progressively becoming the in place to visit, known for itโs interesting pop-ups and up and coming local fashion retailers.
โก๏ธ here are the top 3 pastries worth trying:
๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ผ – easily recognized by the mountain of powdered sugar on its pointed top, this bun is good for sharing
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฏ๐๐ป – stuffed with sweet red bean filling with a thick slab of slightly salted butter >> youโd taste 3 different textures at once!
๐๐๐ผ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ผ ๐ฃ๐ผ๐น๐น๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ฅ๐ผ๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐ด๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ฒ – the avocado is well spread out and topped with savoury mayonnaise, one item thatโs sure to fill that corner of your breakfast belly
one more outlet is the ๐๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ด๐ท๐ฎ๐ป๐ด ๐บ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ outlet which is a coffeeshop kinda concept by the street serving local street food vibes, but only offering pizza-like pastries instead of the other buns i shared earlier. i havenโt been to this so you can try and lemme know how it is!
personally, iโd recommend visiting ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ข๐จ๐ง @ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฎ๐ค ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง and sit at the traditional area to really soak in the Korean culture and atmosphere! thereโs lots of pastries to choose from so do go with an empty stomach and bring along friends so you can try more together ๐ฅฐ
