I’m not vegan, but this cafe was an absolute gem. It’s hard to find healthy food these days, and the food here was both healthy and absolutely delicious. Great, simple lunch menu. I had vegan chilli, yoghurt with fruit, and a very nice iced americano as well. Absolutely excellent, and I’m very glad I found this cafe. Wish I could rate it 6 stars.

At the beginning, I was fascinated by this cafe but over the past months it has changed a lot... The basic menu includes vegan scones, madeleines, and some rice-based cakes which feature many organic and whole grain ingredients. There are regularly new menu options, so there is some more diversity. Some of the things I had tasted great, while others were just ok... Regarding the drinks, the coffee and lattes are now all made with dairy unless you specify you need to be vegan. They have even added a surcharge for plant-based milk... Regardless, prices are more friendly than many other vegan bakeries in Seoul. The cafe is spacious, bright and clean. There are large windows, plants and different kinds of seating. A warm and calm atmosphere that allows for hanging out with friends as well as studying.

Quite good vegan bakery, which mostly sells variety of bagels. Though bagel isn’t my favorite kind of pastry, it was nice trying the ones that have filling inside. They also have cakes, soy yogurt bowl and lunch plate
