This little gem is a MUST visit! Really lovely interior hanok style and a cozy atmosphere. And the girls working here are really sweet. I just had the scone and it was really tasty so I can't wait to come back to try something else.

I was walking near Seomun Market and stumbled upon a beautiful hanok-style café. Tried their ice cream latte — the sweet ice cream and rich coffee were a perfect match, especially on a hot day. The place was cozy and quiet, great for a short break :)

Great little traditional Korean tea house with lots of great tea and coffee. Okay prices, but well worth the cost. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
