Good option to find sweet vegan things - Edit
During my visit to Seoul I bought vegan sweets here. I liked it, they were

but I just saw that the store has closed :(
I hope I can return in some way, even if it's in another location!
I follow them on Instagram in case there is news later.

Solid options - Edit
The bakery offers a lot of sweet pastries and also some savory options. I took a few things home, but think most of the items are just slightly above average, but still tasty. I can definitely recomend the matcha Frappuccino and the cream bread though! The cream bread also tasted very good when adding strawberries.

So delish 🤤 but offers non vegan drinks. - Edit
Wow this place is worth the hype!
Read moreThe vanilla soy latte was honestly one of the best coffees I’ve ever had in my life.
The onion bread was my favourite- Also had the Chou bread and the pizza bread which were both amazing.
I’m a little confused though as there are signs everywhere saying “no milk no egg no butter” but he told me some of the drinks aren’t vegan (they don’t have a little green leaf next to them on the board) so I’m not sure what’s going on there- but all bread is vegan! Please let me know if I got this info wrongs

Best place for breakfast 💕 - Edit
We wanted to have a really tasty breakfast in Seoul and so we drove across the city to this cute little bakery. We were absolutely thrilled! There was a huge selection of sweet and savory pastries 😊 everything was delicious and the
Read morecheap! Coffee tasted delicious. It's really great that everything is vegan, you just have to be careful with the drinks, some of them have milk in them, but the vegan drinks are labeled and the lovely owner is nice enough to point them out ☺️
In general, the owner was super nice and even gave us an umbrella when it started to rain outside! We will definitely be back.
Pros: Lots of choice of food and coffee, Very friendly owner, Inexpensive

Cozy and tasty - Edit
Lovely quiet little bakery with lots to choose from. Seems like a lot of people come there to study. I had the coffee cake and the matcha latte which were both really nice.

Simple and lovely - Edit
I was bombarded by the nicest man working! The person ahead of me ordered a peach soy smoothie and he gave me a little cup to try it. I told him I found this place in Happy Coe and he was shocked & grateful! I got this savory curry wrap heated up to go and a few other items including a lemon scone, butter cookies, and an earl grey cake I’ve yet to try. This place is close to Hongdae and worth it for some healthy vegan baked goods.

Delicious sweet bread and drink! - Edit
I came all the way to this little bakery after reading all the good reviews. The owner is caring (he saw me with my phone and told me the wifi password) and very cheerful, and the bread looks fantastic, it was so hard to choose from! I trier the Earl Gray Castella bread and omg… so tasty and fluffy, moist just right. The caramel latte was also very good and not too sweet (which is often the case in Korea). Absolutely make a stop here if you are in Seoul!

Great location - Edit
It’s nice to have a vegan bakery so close to the busy part of hongdae (maybe a 10 minute walk). I got the pizza bread and a sweet potato latte (which I’ve been wanting to try.) the pizza bread was good, very flavorful and a bit sweet. The sweet potato latte was interesting, not bad I probably wouldn’t get it again. The worker was very friendly a spoke English. I got some mocha bread to go and tried it later and it is amazing!

Lovely! - Edit
Spacious little cafe with baked goods to help yourself to and more in the fridge behind the counter. My favourite thing was the pizza slice! The mocha frappucino was also very good, be aware not all drinks are vegan!! I bought some things for a trip the next day and they lasted well.

Adorable little bakery 💖 - Edit
When we walked in we were greeted by the sweetest owner, and he gave us iced hibiscus tea for free while we were picking out our baked goods! So nice and we felt very welcome 🤗. I got the lemon scone, chocolate cream bread, and chocolate cookie. Everything was delicious. Would come again for the cute vibes and amazing treats 💖🍞.

Awesome vegan, homemade style bakery - Edit
Really great place. They serve lots of nice things, from pizzas, scones, cookies and other deserts. All edible things are 100% vegan. You can also buy Violife cheeses or Oatly milks.
Read moreMy wife had a Ratatouille moment here, being able to once again eat Italian-childhood pastries, like chocolate scone, she lost hope on ever finding vegan versions of them.
Lots of great drinks, especially the sweet potato latte and Peach-Mango Frappuccino.
*** I will note that not all drinks are vegan here, but they are easily told apart.
Owner is very kind and polite. Very attentive to your every needs. Place feels really authentic and homey. While I have no issues with the more hip, trendy and very esthetic bakeries, it's nice seeing a more humble/homey one.
Pros: Pastries , Drinks, Service

Lovely Vegan Bakery! - Edit
I went in 2019 during my second trip to Seoul and I regretted not going the first time around! We got a whole bag of baked goods to last us a few days on our trip, and the owner was so sweet and gave us 2 extra free items which were both delicious I was so happy we got to try them. I loved everything we got, and I will be back in the future!

Cute bakery - Edit
Quaint bakery with a lot of vegan options for baked goods. I did have to specify vegan for the sweet potato latte (non vegan base for drinks seems to be the norm at most vegan bakeries in Seoul). Staff was incredibly kind. Got the cream stuffed buns, onion and cheese bread, “ham” and cheese bread, black sweet rice bread, and red bean bun. Everything was really good, especially warmed up. It is all individually wrapped in plastic, which is the only downside.

Super lecker und auch sehr Koreanisch - Edit
Als Koreanerin fand ich diese Bäckerei besonders gut, weil die Backwaren sehr Koreanisch sind zum vergleichen andere veganer Bäcker oder Café, die alle westlichen Sachen verkaufen.
Read moreZ.B 단팥빵, 햄 치즈 마요빵, 부추만두빵, und 카스테라.
Leider sind meisten schon verpackt aber man kann fragen ob es unverpackt noch gibt.
Die Verkauferin war sehr sehr nett und hat mir ein Brot zusätzlich geschenkt.
Überall am Wand kann man auch viel Posters über aktuelle Demonstrationen für Umwelt oder Tierrecht. Der Grund warum ich eine Sterne wenig gegeben habe ist leider den ganzen Laden mit Französischer Bulldogge dekoriert ist…🥲 Französische Bulldog ist Qualzucht. Bitte nicht verkaufen Dingen mit krankenen Hunde drauf.
