Must visit!

Love Haemil bakery so much! Everything's so tasty and the owner is so kind and generous!

The drinks are so good, I've been a few times and tried the smoothies, toffee nut latte and sweet potato latte (which don't have coffee in them!) and they were so good 😋

Cute place with plenty of seating!

Highly recommend!!

Wow!

This place was wonderful. I picked up several baked goods for my plane ride home and the man at the counter went and grabbed a special pastry from the shelf and said “as a thank you for being my customer.” My husband and I sat at a table to wait for our taxi and he brought us a cookie to enjoy while we waited. I can’t say enough about the kindness we experienced and the treats were so perfect!

Pros: All vegan, Friendliest owner

the cutest!

I found so many of the Asian baked breads from my childhood that I could no longer eat after going vegan here!! I missed them so much! Also the owner speaks English and is so nice; he gave us an extra bag of free rolls!

Lovely vegan baked goods!

I have lived in Korea for almost a year now, and I’ve only just discovered Haemil Bakery, and I think it’s one of the best I’ve come across! So much to choose from and it’s all delicious. The owner is so friendly and also speaks English. The price is cheap, all reasonably priced. I recommend the pizza and curry bun. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Hongdae!

Pros: Lots of options , Friendly staff , Reasonably priced

Cons: A little out of the way

Totally recommend!

Haemil is my favourite bakery I've tried in Seoul so far! There's quite a variety of breads and other things available, the owner is nice and most importantly... everything is delicious and very reasonably priced!

So far I've had the sweet potato latte, the chocolate muffin (which he warmed up for me) a peanut streusel kind of bread and the small free coconut cake. All of it tasted very flavorful and satisfying, not too sweet (except for the drink maybe). I can't wait to go back and try more things :)

Super lovely staff with a great range of treats!!

There's nothing like being greeted with such a large range of vegan bakes, desserts, breads and treats of all kind. Haemil did a great job at it, with sweet to savoury. Their brownies were great, as well as their cookies and breads. The staff member gave us a free cookie as well which was lovely!
I'd definitely recommend going here, the vibe was nice and friendly and there was so much to choose from!

Pros: Friendly staff, Super lovely bakes, Lots of choice!

Lovely little bakery

TRY THE SWEET POTATO LATTE!!! Very hard to get vegan anywhere else. aaaaah so good. Also the breads take me back to my childhood.

Try the ham and cheese bread too. Brownie was maybe a little dry for me but everything else was amazing. The owner is lovely and even gave me extra latte and a free little cake for visiting!!!

Pros: WONDERFUL owner!, Delicious breads , Unique lattes!!!

Delicious and lovely place!

I went here today for lunch and it was so nice! I had some kind of ham and cheese bread (both made from soy) and the man behind the counter was really nice and heated it up for me! The bread was fluffy and soft and the cookie with nuts was lovely too! I also had a mocha frappuchino and it goes great with the cakes, very big and heavy though, I honestly bought to much, but it was amazing!

Pros: Lots of foods and drinks to choose from, Tastes amazing, Lovely owner

Cons: Foreign cards might not work

Cute bakery

I've been going to The Bread Blue almost every day since it's so close to where I am staying, but I wanted to try this place too. They are very similar but do offer slightly different options. I got an iced toffee nut latte and a mocha bun, and then the owner gave me a free cookie for coming by. Everything was delicious, and that was so nice of the owner. I have been by The Bread Blue numerous times, but they have never offered me anything.

Pros: All vegan, cute interior, sweet owner

Cons: None

Friendly staff and lovely baked goods!

The vibe here is super friendly and open, and it is the type of place anyone can feel comfortable hanging out. The lattes and pastries were all delicious and fresh. The owner gave us a few free treats to try as well. He is a really kind man and is helpful answering questions about the items in the cafe.

Highly recommend the sweet potato roll, brownie and whipped cream!!!

Pros: Good price , Friendly staff, Fresh goods, clean cafe

Cons: None!

Delicious

I came here and I couldn't choose haha. There are a lot of good options. Both sweet and savory. I had a sweet red bean bun, pizza bread, and a sweet potato bread. The red bean bun was okay but couldn't be heaten up. The others the owner heated up and were very nice. In total it costed me 8200 won. The owner is very nice and gave me half of a pretzel stick. I would definitely recommend this place.

Pros: Nice owner, Lots of options, Sweet and savory
