Seongsu-dong<\/a> 2025.1.4. (Sun)<\/p>\n

Seoul Seongsu-dong<\/a><\/p>\n

[Seongsu Yul]<\/b><\/p>\n

My son Jae-won had an early appointment,<\/p>\n

so<\/p>\n

after giving him breakfast,<\/p>\n

I told my husband,<\/p>\n

“Let’s go on a trip to Seoul too.”<\/p>\n

“Where?”<\/b><\/p>\n

Seongsu-dong<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

he asked.<\/p>\n

I replied,<\/p>\n

“Is it as sweet as honey?”<\/p>\n

Haha.<\/p>\n

Newly Opened<\/b><\/p>\n

Seongsu Yul Cafe<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n

Opens at 10 AM<\/b><\/p>\n

\ud83c\udfb6<\/p>\n

On Instagram,<\/p>\n

I saw a post introducing a listening room<\/b><\/p>\n

on the 3rd floor of the cafe,<\/p>\n

and that during the soft opening<\/b>,<\/p>\n

you could get 30 minutes of free listening<\/b><\/p>\n

with cafe use.<\/p>\n

(The event has now ended.)<\/p>\n

[Floor Guide]<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n

After a delicious lunch<\/b><\/p>\n

at Neungdong Minari<\/b><\/p>\n

(15-minute wait)<\/b><\/p>\n

We revisited Blue Elephant<\/b><\/p>\n

to browse glasses for a bit,<\/b><\/p>\n

then<\/b><\/p>\n

visited Seongsu Yul<\/b><\/p>\n

for coffee.<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The entrance<\/b><\/p>\n

was already impressive.<\/b><\/p>\n

However,<\/b><\/p>\n

from the outside,<\/b><\/p>\n

it has a red brick exterior<\/b><\/p>\n

and no sign,<\/b><\/p>\n

so I thought<\/b><\/p>\n

people might not know it’s a cafe.<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Still,<\/b><\/p>\n

there’s a bread poster<\/b><\/p>\n

that could serve as a hint.<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The interior<\/b><\/p>\n

exudes a chic black vibe.<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

A single tree visible<\/b><\/p>\n

through the floor-to-ceiling window.<\/b><\/p>\n

[Counter]<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n

To the left,<\/b><\/p>\n

the bakery showcase.<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The eclairs’<\/b><\/p>\n

visuals were<\/b><\/p>\n

amazing \u2661<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Vanilla\/Matcha Flan<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Coffee Beans\/Drip Coffee<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

I ordered<\/b><\/p>\n

one Vanilla Flan,<\/b><\/p>\n

an Americano (nutty flavor),<\/b><\/p>\n

and a decaf cafe latte.<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n

The space has different levels.<\/b><\/p>\n

In person…<\/b><\/p>\n

it’s a bit darker<\/b><\/p>\n

and the atmosphere is quiet,<\/b><\/p>\n

giving a calm feeling.<\/b><\/p>\n

[2nd Floor]<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n

A long, L-shaped black sofa.<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

A duplex structure<\/b><\/p>\n

connected from the 1st floor.<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

[Self-Bar]<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n

Neatly set up.<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Inside,<\/b><\/p>\n

a semi-transparent panel wall.<\/b><\/p>\n

[Secret Room]<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n

Seats 6 people.<\/b><\/p>\n

There are theater-style crimson curtains,<\/b><\/p>\n

so you can close them<\/b><\/p>\n

when it’s in use.<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The coffee and dessert I ordered.<\/b><\/p>\n

My husband<\/b><\/p>\n

raved about the Americano<\/b><\/p>\n

multiple times, saying it was<\/b><\/p>\n

sooooo delicious \u2661<\/b><\/p>\n

Over 100% satisfied.<\/b><\/p>\n

Uses Guatemalan beans with a nutty flavor,<\/b><\/p>\n

blended with two others<\/b><\/p>\n

(medium-dark roast).<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Decaf Cafe Latte<\/b><\/p>\n

has a rich body<\/b><\/p>\n

and a dark roast.<\/b><\/p>\n

Slight acidity<\/b><\/p>\n

at the end.<\/b><\/p>\n

No nutty flavor,<\/b><\/p>\n

so I was 92% satisfied.<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Vanilla Flan<\/b><\/p>\n

Near Hongdae Sangsu Station,<\/b><\/p>\n

there’s a famous<\/b><\/p>\n

‘Flan Specialty Shop’,<\/b><\/p>\n

and the visuals were completely different<\/b><\/p>\n

from that place.<\/b><\/p>\n

(Egg tart shape)<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Cut into 3 large pieces.<\/b><\/p>\n

Inside,<\/b><\/p>\n

it’s filled with moist custard vanilla cream.<\/b><\/p>\n

Crispy outside, moist inside.<\/b><\/p>\n

The outside is flaky<\/b><\/p>\n

with visible layers,<\/b><\/p>\n

and the vanilla cream<\/b><\/p>\n

is a bit sweet.<\/b><\/p>\n

It’s torched on top,<\/b><\/p>\n

preserving the vanilla aroma.<\/b><\/p>\n

I wanted to try other desserts too.<\/b><\/p>\n

Good \u2661<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n

[Mute Space]<\/h2>\n

From the outside,<\/b><\/p>\n

it looks like a long chimney.<\/b><\/p>\n

Moving from the 2nd floor to the balcony<\/b><\/p>\n

connects directly to it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n

Entry is allowed for one team at a time.<\/b><\/p>\n

Indirect lighting creates<\/b><\/p>\n

a mystical feel.<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

On our Seongsu-dong<\/a> outing,<\/b><\/p>\n

my husband, looking young~~<\/b><\/p>\n

in his hoodie,<\/b><\/p>\n

took a proof shot \u2661<\/b><\/p>\n

Haha.**<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

A chimney structure<\/b><\/p>\n

with an open ceiling.<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Opposite the Mute Space,<\/b><\/p>\n

even in winter,<\/b><\/p>\n

there’s a lush green<\/b><\/p>\n

bamboo photo zone.<\/b><\/p>\n

[3rd Floor]<\/h2>\n

[My Husband’s Song Request]<\/b><\/p>\n

Josh Groban’s<\/b><\/p>\n

“You Raise Me Up.”<\/b><\/p>\n

Lyrics appear on screen.<\/b><\/p>\n

Good \u2661<\/b><\/p>\n

My husband was moved<\/p>\n

by the atmosphere and teared up.**<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

It’s a mini theater-style structure,<\/p>\n

modern and classic.<\/p>\n

First of all,<\/p>\n

the sound and audio quality<\/p>\n

were<\/p>\n

so, so good.<\/p>\n

\u2661^^\u2661<\/p>\n

[My Song Request]<\/h2>\n

Jeonramhoe’s Kim Dong-ryul’s<\/p>\n

“Sketch of Memories.”<\/b><\/p>\n

My absolute favorite \u2661<\/p>\n

Listen to it! \u2661<\/p>\n

It brings back memories<\/p>\n

of my 20s.<\/p>\n

In Busan’s Nampo-dong,<\/p>\n

at the Mua<\/b><\/p>\n

music listening room,<\/p>\n

I spent years of my youth.<\/p>\n

It reminded me of those times,<\/p>\n

so I called my best friend<\/p>\n

who accompanied me then,<\/p>\n

after I got home.<\/p>\n

The environment here<\/p>\n

is even better than Mua<\/b>,<\/p>\n

and the audio equipment<\/p>\n

is also excellent.<\/p>\n

I told her we should definitely go together next time.<\/p>\n

[4th Floor]<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n

Duplex structure.<\/p>\n

[Rooftop]<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n

Living room & bar kitchen.<\/b><\/p>\n

A luxurious living room feel \u2661<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n

Since there were no other guests,<\/b><\/p>\n

I could take photos freely.<\/b><\/p>\n

The vibe is so good \u2661<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n

The cafe’s interior<\/b><\/p>\n

is to my taste \u2661<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

It looked like a beacon tower,<\/b><\/p>\n

so I looked at it with curiosity. Haha.**<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The rooftop outdoor area<\/p>\n

is cozy.<\/p>\n

Seongsu Yul Cafe…<\/b><\/p>\n

Seongsu-dong<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s located about<\/p>\n

a 7 to 10-minute walk<\/p>\n

from the main street.<\/p>\n

It was a wonderful cafe<\/p>\n

that I would recommend<\/p>\n

to friends and acquaintances.<\/p>\n

To my neighbors,<\/p>\n

if you like delicious coffee, bread,<\/p>\n

and music,<\/p>\n

please visit~~ \u2661<\/p>\n

Wishing you good health today too \u2661<\/p>\n
