Loved the cheesecake!

The black sesame cheesecake I had was absolutely delicious! My partner had a sweet potato variant which he also really enjoyed

Popular!

This was a lovely cafe to visit for post-dinner dessert. They had initially sold out of cake and only had reserved one in the fridge, but then the owner made us a single mocca caramel cake to share. To sit in and take a table you need to order at least one drink, and we had some homemade ade (from the yuzu fruit). Get there early to avoid disappointment!

Cute cafe, good cakes

Very good cakes and nice owner, cute small place
I had the mocha and caramel cake and it was very tasty and not dry at all
Went there on a Friday around 4pm, could sit down and read, the cafe was not full

Popular cafe

This cafe opens only for two days per week, so make sure you checked their schedule (via IG or Naver) before coming. The cafe was very popular and people kept coming in. There were like 7 flavours of cakes. I tried the black sesame cheese cake. Its texture was like raw cake. Not quite cheesy but I liked it. Couldn’t sit there for too long as there were people waiting.

Delicious cake!

It's a cute little Cafe with delicious cake. I had a slice of sesame cheesecake (which I ate over the course of two hours because I was reading 😅) and it was really delicious filling. The latte I had with it sadly came only lukewarm, but was still good. (they probably would have replaced it but my anxiety prevented me from asking🙈)
The cakes aren't cheap, but worth it 😊

Cons: A little expensive

Amazing Gluten-Free Vegan Bakes

This vegan café promises to serve bakes without 9 unhealthy ingredients - butter, milk, egg, white flour, white sugar, white salt, white rice, GMO, as well as preservatives and coloring. Instead, they incorporate 9 healthy ingredients - organic coconut or soybean oil, organic soy milk, organic coconut sugar or unrefined cane sugar, organic brown rice, homemade almond milk, homemade vegan butter or mayonnaise, homemade soybean, enzymes, as well as seasonal fruits or vegetables.

Seems like quite a popular cafe as many bakes had already been reserved when I visited, so it's recommended to message beforehand! The gluten-free cakes I tried were very impressive. 5 min walk from Jongno 3-ga Subway Station or Iksundong Hanok Village. Also within walking distance from Insadong Shopping Street.

- Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake with Fig
- Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake with Green Tea and Red Bean
- Hot Cafe Latte with Soy Milk

Very Delicious and Great Concept

I’ve already tried several cakes at this bakery and I’m always amazed how perfect the combination of flavors, the texture and the non-sweetness is! They are really outstanding and I like the concept of of the place. Vegan, organic and mostly raw food items!

Delicious and different

APB has the best gluten free cakes and desserts Ive ever had. They are moist and fluffy. I love how they use seasonal flavors in their desserts

They try to use less sugar and focus on healthier ingredients. They have a lot of fruity kombuchas available. In the summer months they offer a patbingsu.

Theyre often experimenting so the menu changes frequently. They became really popular through delivery services during the pandemic, so their hours are somewhat limited. One thing I don't like is that their delivery packing is a large styrofoam box, although its possible they have changed to something better since I ordered. (~6-9 months ago)

The staff here is so friendly and accommodating. The interior is nice but its a popular place so they often sell out or have a long wait for a table

My photos are from July 2019, I have visited since then but I dont have any photos.

Tasty and low sugar!

Super unique taste with very low sugar. Love that the ingredients stand out way more without a dominant sugary taste. Location is also nice. Located in a backalley and a nice wooden interior. Staff was very friendly and helpful with the selection.

Sooo delicious, kind, homemade and quality ingredients 💙

Small sweet space with 8 round cafe tables. Lovely owners and the cakes are really nice and pretty nutritious, not overly sweet which to me is a plus ✨👌🏽

Pros: All vegan and even raw options , Nice ‘home’ vibe , Big pieces 🤩

Cute n Cozy

This little shop is very comfortable. The people are nice and the music is not too loud so it's a good place to just chill for a bit.

The food and drinks are amazing!! I especially love that they have kombucha here because kombucha is so hard to find in Seoul. It was made in house and came in a teapot!

Be aware that this a cake cafe so the cakes are great but you won't find much else. The cakes are also very expensive, close to 10,000 won for a slice.

Pros: Vegan cheesecake!! , Very nice staff, Kombucha

Cons: Very pricey

Yummy and quaint

Really lovely cafe with a large array of vegan deserts. I love the decorations with Disney Knick knacks and Sookmyung University plushie. The owner spoke English and was very nice.

I had the green tea cake which was tasty. The green tea frosting made it a bit too bitter for me but the cake itself was really good and not too sweet.

The prices are a bit higher than other vegan cafés and I wish they had my diversity in drinks.

Pros: Lots of vegan desserts , Friendly staff , Comfortable environment

Cons: More expensive than other places , Didn’t love the cake I had

Finally made it here.

Only opens a few days a week so need to plan ahead. Was a let down that bingsu season ended already even though it was still 30c degrees outside ☹ The cake made up for it. Unique cakes and great coffee.

Raw lime cheese cake!!

Love the cozy atmosphere
And owners are very friendly..seemed to communicate with customers a lot.
Raw lime cheese cake was die for.
Chicory coffee was on the menu as decaffine options.. by looking at the others' review its their signature menu

'Nine-free' vegan bakery in Seoul

I've never been to every vegan bakery in town yet, but I say, probably one of the best and most honest ones with their 'nine-free' promise!! "No butter, no milk, no egg, no white flour, no white sugar, no white salt, no white rice, no GMO, no preservative", and they mean it~ Vegan pizza quiche and cherry chocolate cupcake are must-try menu.

BTW, their location next to the trendiest Ikseon-dong neighborhood is a surprising plus~ Plz find 'Ibis Ambassador Insa-dong Hotel' on the map, and the bakery is right behind it in the redbrick bldg!!

Pros: Never disappointed with delicious latte., Fresh and 'back-to-basic' vegan foods, A++++ for friendly owners

Cons: Mon & Thr closed, Favorite breads sold out fast

Cute cafe

I always have a good experience at this cafe. On my most recent visit, I got the pizza quiche and choco coconut latte. The quiche was good, but I do prefer their desserts in comparison. The latte however blew me away! It was just perfect!

Pros: Delicious desserts, Kind staff, Good drink selection

Cozy and delicious

Initially went in on the hunt for vegan bread, they didn’t sell any but we still had a great cafe experience.

Lovely atmosphere, had a earl grey tea drink with carrot cake. My partner had a chocolate coconut latte. All three things were scrumptious. We were especially appreciative after feeling the chill of a wet and cold winters day.
Drinks were 6k each, and the cake was 5k.

Pros: Tasty sweet drinks and cakes, Warm, Cozy

Cons: No extra vegan stuff for sale
