Seongsu-dong has become one of Seoul’s trendiest neighborhoods for cafés, and Daelim Changgo (대림창고) is one of its must-visit spots. Part café, part art gallery, and housed in a massive old warehouse, this place is a perfect mix of industrial-cool and creative energy.

The café menu has everything from light bites to indulgent desserts. The Strawberry & Cream Croissant (₩8,500) is the Instagram favorite, piled high with juicy strawberries and whipped cream. Cakes like Tiramisu (₩9,000), Carrot Cake (₩9,000), and Triple Berry Crumble (₩5,500) are also on display, along with pizza, pasta, and baked goods if you’re hungry for more.
Coffee lovers will appreciate their specialty Geisha single origin coffee (₩15,000), with multiple blends to choose from — but if you’re not up for something fancy, you can stick with a Caffè Latte (₩6,000) or an Einspanner (₩6,500). They also rotate seasonal drinks, so there’s always something new to try.
The other half of the warehouse is dedicated to an art gallery, where you can wander among installations and paintings with your drink in hand. Past exhibitions have included big names like Yayoi Kusama, Nam June Paik, and Lee Ufan, making this not just a café but a full cultural experience.
💡 Tip: Go on a weekday afternoon if you can — weekends can get packed, and this is one of those cafés you’ll want to enjoy slowly.
What to Order:
🥐 Strawberry & Cream Croissant – the most IG-worthy item.
