Cafe in a traditional Korean house, with the walls, roof n bricks. Overall food is good, but the cafe vibe somehow doesn't gel well, even though soft cafe music is playing. Maybe becos the deco is quite old fashioned Korean, not the hip retro Korean style. And the owner is a old school aunty, feel more like a street food aunty kind of feel. But, it's true she speaks various language.... Hmmm, I also dunno why the ambience just couldnt gel. Western breakfast kind of selection like bagel, waffle n croffle.

Appreciate how welcoming the boss was, and she can speak different languages! The place was lovely, food and coffee were nice, a little bit stuffy indoor during autumn but there are fans in the corner.

I loved the place! I got a croffle brunch and a caramel macchiato and my friend got the green plum tea and rice cake. Everything was delicious (OK the rice cake is a bit weird but I liked it) and I found the price reasonable 33.500 won. The portion of the brunch was good and more than enough for me. The cafe is foreign friendly. The place has air-conditioning and the owner has kept the traditional style of Hanok inside. It has a nice relaxing music and the decoration is very nice. They also sell some beautiful pottery. We stayed for quite some time to escape the heat outside.

If you are visiting Korea and craving a western style breakfast, this is the place. The Hanok is beautiful with a quaint indoor garden. The staff is kind. The food comes out a little slowly, compared to typical service in Seoul, but the vibes of the shop support this slight delay. The dining space is intimate and cozy. It is located about a 8 minute walk from the subway.
