A lovely cafe, bakery, art gallery, furniture store all in one place.
The food/pastries and drinks were exceptionally good. They were presented well and looked very pleasing to the eye and palate.
I also enjoyed going upstairs and to the basement to see various art pieces and furniture on display from mid-century to modern.
The kind gentleman at the front who sells accessories and jewelry is very friendly and amiable.

I would definitely return here when I visit Korea again.

Great coffee, great music, great atmosphere and the bakery is very tasty with large variety  ! I am French so I tried the croissant and it was amazing. Crispy outside and soft inside like it should be. It is a 6 floors cafe with different ambiance at the different levels. Feels cozy ! Enjoy :)

A Delightful Eclectic Bakery Café with Sublime Treats

This bakery café is an absolute gem! From the moment you step inside, you’re welcomed into an eclectic space filled with charming little nooks and cozy corners, each one offering a unique spot to enjoy your food or drink in a relaxed, inviting atmosphere.

The baked goods here are simply sublime. Every pastry is crafted with care, offering the perfect balance of texture and flavor. While everything I tried was fantastic, there are a few absolute must-tries: the bowtie croissant, which is winderfully crisp and buttery with a delightful filling; the apple tart, which has the perfect blend of sweetness and flakiness; and the egg brekkie, a satisfying and delicious way to start the day.

Whether you’re here for a quick coffee break, a leisurely breakfast, or an afternoon treat, this café makes every visit feel special. The combination of excellent food, a cozy and artistic ambiance, and a warm, welcoming vibe makes it a place you’ll want to return to again and again. Highly recommend!

Never have I ever seen such a huge and impressive collection of designer chairs! If you’re into design you’re absolutely gonna love this place. It even has Le Corbusier, Ettore Sottsass or some Bauhaus items! The food is also amazing, I was very amazed by the quality of the pastries :)

There is a lot cafe within this area (Ikseon-dong Hanok Village). I found this quite unique cafe with DJ on 1st floor. This is an old building convert into a cafe and bakery. You can choose your favourite cake and pastry like having a buffet then place order for coffee at counter on 2nd floor. I have a great spot to chill for few hour here. Highly recommended and definitely no regret.
