Housed in a restored hanok (traditional Korean house) just a short walk from Anguk Station and Bukchon Hanok Village. This makes it one of the most atmospheric cafés in Seoul if you’re looking for a mix of tradition and modern café culture.

The space feels serene and timeless, with wooden beams, tiled roofs, open courtyards, and a calm energy that contrasts with the busy streets outside. Many visitors sit on the heated floors, hanok-style, sipping coffee while gazing out at the courtyard — it really captures that slow-living feel in the middle of the city.

The menu is similar to other Café Onion locations, featuring fresh pastries from Bread 05 Bakery. You’ll still find their signature Pandoro (₩5,000) alongside a wide selection of croissants, cakes, and seasonal baked goods. Pair it with a latte or flat white and it’s the perfect afternoon break between sightseeing in Bukchon or Insadong.

💡 Tip: This location gets especially busy with tourists thanks to its proximity to Bukchon Hanok Village. Go early in the morning for the most peaceful experience and to snag a courtyard seat.

What to Order:

• 🍞 Pandoro – their most iconic pastry, light and fluffy.

• 🥐 Croissants or seasonal pastries – baked fresh daily.

• ☕ Flat White or Latte – simple, classic pairings with hanok vibes.

• 🍵 Matcha Latte – fits perfectly with the traditional setting.
