Perfect location, amazing desserts

They have the best cakes!!!!! Trust me, you won’t regret visiting this cafe. It is so close to the university and has a perfect location to grab coffee or small desserts with friends. My favorite cakes are the plum brownie and orange tea cake(100% sure it is not the accurate name). This store is also plastic free.

Brownies that make me feel at home

I had the peanut butter brownie twice and texture of it reminds of of the ones I used to make with my grandma. I went back a second time to get another brownie! I look forward to trying the other desserts!

Pros: 100% VEGAN, Perfect amount of sweetness

I've had vegan before-couldn't tell this was one of em

I expected 'lesser' quality since 'vegan' use limited ingredients, however, it didn't have that 'hollow or fake immatryingvegan' kinda tastes but rich and 'worth-the-trip' quality. will visit if this place comes to Gangnam area

Pros: can't tell this was for vegan

Cons: not in gangnam

BEST VEGAN CAKES!!!

Veganique has the best vegan cakes! I have been vegan for a little over eight years so I have tried a handful of really outstanding vegan cakes over the years but Veganique takes the cake (hehe)!

This place is magical. The first cake I tried was the strawberry jam red velvet cake. Every bite is a luxurious experience. I was ahhh-ing and mmm-ing and closing my eyes and moaning and groaning and then decided I should take my cakes to go from then on hahaha

After trying the strawberry red velvet cake I had decided that that would be my favorite - that is until I tried every other cake they offer. All of the cakes are outstanding and special in their own way. Can I say I have a favorite? Well, if I absolutely had to choose I would say the strawberry red velvet and the green ganache cake are my faves but they're all perfection. I need to try them all a second and third time before deciding and saying definitively. 😉

I came here nearly every day while I was in Seoul for winter break (I would have come every single day but forced myself to try other vegan bakeries which I regretted because they don't hold a candle to Veganique). On the last day I had nice little conversation with the owner's mother who is very sweet! I will be back next time I'm in Seoul and will cry when I leave South Korea.

If you want to have a high-quality, tongue tantalizing experience, come to Veganique - you will not be disappointed!

earl grey milk tea - seriously the most perfect beverage, it's dangerously good
strawberry jam red velvet cake - perfection
orange caramel tea cake - oh my
peanut butter brownie - got this to-go and decided to microwave it. I suggest you do the same!
green ganache cake - Wowzers!
apple crumble cake - perfff
earl grey crumble cake - oh yes oh yes
coconut butter scone - wow, yes yes yes yes
plum choco brownie - mmmm yum

Really good!

My favorite is the coconut butter scone, but I’ve definitely enjoyed everything I’ve tried! It’s nice to be able to get vegan milk tea. And it’s in a super cute neighborhood too!

Highly recommended!!!👍👍

Fell in love with this place on my first visit. They offer delicious and affordable vegan cakes - especially the peanut butter brownies which I absolutely adore. Also the earl grey milk tea(soy based) is a must try! Definitely one of the best vegan cafes in Seoul.

One of the best vegan dessert places

This is hands-down one of the best dessert bakeries in Korea.
Note that I'm not limiting it to vegan.
It's simply high-quality desserts that can be enjoyed by vegans and non-vegans alike.
I've tried many vegan bakeries but this is one of the very few bests.

They have vastly different products, so when you are visiting for the first time it's a good idea to ask the staff before you make a decision.

Pros: High quality desserts, Very informative - ask about the products

Cons: Nothing I could think of... but maybe location?

Delightful home-made cakes

This vegan cafe sells an assortment of cakes, brownies and scones. Their sweet bakery products are homemade and feature modern Korean flavors such as green tea, earl grey and chocolate.

The Earl Grey Crumble Cake is pleasantly sweet, fragrant and crunchy. The brownies are just how I love them: dense, fudgy and with a strong chocolate flavor.

The interior of this "vegan dessert boutique" is simple and bright.

Wow!

Not the easiest to find but just keep walking the back alleys because it is worth it.. or at least my brownie was! They make a great assortment of cakes. Nice place to hideaway.

High quality food and nice staff

Everything is completely vegan and all the cakes (maybe also the drinks?) are available for takeout. It was kind of hard to find the place since it is in a very small side area and there is no sign above the place to indicate what it is. However, as another reviewer said, once you have found the small street with the flowers on the ground, follow them until you see a small veganique sign next to a café which has glass wall at the front.

There was a choice of above five cakes and I ordered a soy latte with a chocolate plum brownie. The staff was very nice and spoke very good English which is unusual for Seoul. The portion sizes are small and the prices are at least above average, however, so is also the taste. I bought one of their famous milk teas to take home, but since I haven't drunken it yet, I cannot judge that.

The interior is plain and very minimalistic, it is up to you if you like that. There is no Wifi. Everything is very clean. The place was empty when I arrived (Monday around 15:00), but filled up a bit after that. You can pay with a credit card.

I will be definitely be returning and I rate five stars for the taste, the choices of cake, the cleanness of the toilet and the veryyy nice staff.

Pros: Very nice staff with good English skills, Great choices for drinks and cakes, Clean facilities

Cons: Above average/ moderately expensive

WOW nice cafe!

Awesome addition to the vegan cake shops in Seoul. All cakes are vegan, the drinks are not but can be made vegan with soy milk. Love it and will be back! The map marker on happy cow is not accurate. It’s in the same building as amazing thai restaurant. B2 floor. If you come from itaewon main street you need to enter the building and go down until you come out at the backside of the building.

Pros: Awesome cakes!!!
