Yeonnam-dong Coffee Shop A delicious dish you won’t be able to go back to after drinking it once
"oats coffee", famous for its Viennese coffee (Einspänner), moved to Yeonnam-dong, and the two-story space is wider and more comfortable.
The must-try #Einspänner coffee here is covered with fluffy and dense fresh cream, and the top is dotted with cute cloud-like cat-shaped milk foam. The taste is dense and sweet but not greasy. A sip of fresh cream paired with a sip of coffee will really make you want to go back for more. Not going.
In addition to the signature Viennese coffee, oats coffee also offers a variety of snacks. This time, they also took out Fei Nanxue. The crispy cake on the outside is soft and fragrant with butter, which is also highly recommended. The simple decoration of the store uses wood to create a comfortable atmosphere, which is perfect for gathering with friends or enjoying leisure time alone. Friends who come to Seoul, be sure to take the time to have a drink!

A Moist Cake Shop in Yeonnam-dong < Fat of Cake >.
The famous cake shop in Songridan-gil, Fat of Cake, has opened a new branch in Yeonnam-dong!
Fat of Cake catches your eye with its Christmas decorations starting from the stairs below! The entrance is red, making it stand out from afar. As soon as you enter, you see a Christmas tree and a pristine white interior. It felt like a special place because it's hard to find such an interior in Yeonnam-dong.
Since it's a cake shop, cake is a must! I ordered a chocolate ganache and an iced Americano. The cake was moist, not dense, with a rich flavor that wasn't too heavy, making me want to keep eating. Personally, it was the best cake I've had recently.

Healing Cafe in Yeonnam-dong with a Warm Atmosphere < Office Of >
I visited Office Of, a cafe with a warm atmosphere located in Yeonnam-dong.
While strolling through Yeonnam-dong, I passed by this cafe and was drawn to its cozy atmosphere, so I definitely wanted to visit! Upon visiting this time, it indeed had a warm atmosphere! As a window seat lover, I sat by the window. It was right next to the sidewalk, so I could see all the passersby and it was perfect for zoning out while watching the tranquil Yeonnam-dong street.
I ordered a hazelnut latte. The coffee tasted great. They also had various desserts like pound cake, but I skipped them since I was full. It might be a bit challenging to work in the cafe, but it's great for conversations.

Café No Think in Yeonnam (노띵크)
This café has a chill vibe, perfect for hanging out with friends or even alone. I personally go there alone every time. The café stays open late, so you can sit and relax for as long as you want. There's also a restroom inside, which is very convenient. The café is open from noon to 8 PM. The most important thing is that the desserts are incredibly delicious. The Oreo cheesecake is the best, with chunks of cheese that are super tasty. I haven't found anything like it anywhere else. Highly recommended!
Seoul Christmas Tree Spots, Hot Places.
Personally, I think 'Pitk' is the prettiest Christmas tree cafe in Yeonnam-dong. It becomes even more famous during the Christmas season.
If you visit during the Christmas season, expect to wait about an hour to take pictures with the tree.
I visited around 8 PM on a weekend and waited an hour to take pictures. It's a very popular place during the Christmas season, so I recommend visiting in early December.
Seoul Pork Restaurant, Hongdae Date Spot.
'Yeonnam Don' in Mapo-gu, a popular pork restaurant in Hongdae, allows you to grill special cuts of pork over charcoal. The restaurant spans two floors and is spacious and clean, making it perfect for dates, gatherings, and company dinners.
Each type of meat comes with detailed instructions on its name, grilling method, and the order in which to eat it, making it easy to enjoy your meal.
If you love pork, you should definitely visit Yeonnam Don in Mapo-gu.

If you're looking for the best scones in Yeonnam-dong (feat. Teaknic).
On this day, my friends and I visited Teaknic, which is really famous for its scones in Yeonnam-dong 😎
First, we took a seat outside and placed our order. Interestingly, Teaknic doesn't have the usual coffee menu!
You can only enjoy scones, desserts, and tea here.
We all ordered iced tea first, and of course, the main attraction of the day, the scones!
(The sunlight was too strong, so we moved to an indoor seat, haha)
The scones have a very unique appearance.
Unlike other places where you have to spread the cream and jam yourself, Teaknic serves them with a perfect ratio of jam and cream already spread on 🍓
We even packed some scones for our families at home...❤️
I highly recommend Teaknic for the best scones in Yeonnam-dong!
A cozy gathering and date spot recommendation: 'Gwangya'
⏰ 11:30 AM - 10:00 PM
📍 1st Floor, 82 World Cup Buk-ro 4-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul
Gwangya has a clean and spacious interior, making it a popular spot for gatherings, dates, and blind dates.
Whenever I visit Gwangya, there's one dish I always order: the sea urchin pasta. This pasta is notable for its thick noodles and generous topping of sea urchin. The staff mix the sea urchin into the pasta, enhancing the dish with a rich ocean flavor.
Though the taste is mild, it allows you to fully appreciate the natural flavor of the sea urchin. I highly recommend trying it.
Gwangya also offers delicious gnocchi and basil pesto pasta. The basil pesto pasta is particularly flavorful, with a strong basil aroma that makes it incredibly savory.
Gwangya also sells wine, so you can enjoy a glass with your meal. They offer a variety of wines, including red, white, and rosé, so you can choose according to your preference.
With its great atmosphere and delicious menu, Gwangya is a must-visit for those looking for a good restaurant in Yeonnam-dong.
