Where are the vegan cookies :(

I used to love the cookies here! They are large and indulgingly sweet and greasy, not missing anything from non-vegan cookies in my opinion.
They also have dessert puddings consisting of some kind of cream and loads of toppings.

Update May 2023:
The cafe has started to offer options with dairy. Currently, the cookies are not vegan anymore...

The cafe, which is located at the end of a small alley, is small and cozy.

Nice Cafe

Lovely small cafe in Itaewon.
Different milk alternatives available and a good range of dessert, not all are vegan though but the owner explained us kindly what’s what and which of them are fully vegan. If I remember right 4 out of 7 are.

Pros: Vegan desserts, Milk alternatives, Friendly staff

Good cookies

Super friendly owner and good cookies. More on the chewy side and sweeter - like American I guess. Different vegan milk options for coffee as well. I didn’t like the cream dessert which was basically whipped cream without taste so can’t recommend it at all. Good for take away as well. Free wifi and nice atmosphere

yummy banana pudding

This is a great little bakery and cafe. The owner is kind and inviting and it’s a nice place to chill and study or enjoy with a friend.

I was expecting more kinds of cookies when I came, but there were only 3 kinds and 2 cream like puddings. I suppose the menu rotates as he works alone.

The banana pudding was really good, and the cookies are okay but the texture is a little lacking and the flavors are muted. I really want to try the lemon cookie next time. It is nice that they are made fresh daily and sometimes right before you arrive. I also tried a brownie my friend took out one time. It was good texture for me but I think it needed a bit of salt. Maybe the same problem with the cookies as well.

The coffee is fairly priced as well, and there’s a few options for plant milk.

Hoping to try a donut or a pie next time that he sometimes uploads on his insta

Great Vegan Cookies

This place is great! All of the cookies are really good and quite filling. The owner speaks English really well, and everything is very reasonably priced. Strongly reccomended and I will definitely go again!

Lovely homemade style cookies

Might be a bit hard to find, but he has really good cookies. Line up changes daily and the place is open everyday which is not the case with most of the vegan bakeries. Cookies are just right. Also the pumpkin pie was good even though we rushed him to make us one. Friendly owner and perfect place to grab some dessert and chat.

Cute little café with delicious treats and coffee

I really liked this place. The guy that served us was very friendly and spoke perfect English. We had two oat iced lattes which we loved and 2 cookies per person (which ended up leaving us so full!). The cookies are super soft and delicious, very decadent and rich. Highly recommend this place. They have sitting area inside and they use metal straws.
