Delicious and Friendly

I came across this place and had no clue it was already such a hit with vegans! The bingsu and cake were so good, and the lady who runs the place is lovely :)

Vegan Ice cream master

I only managed to try two of the incredible ice cream creations of AcheMi but absolutely loved them. It's a wonderful place if you are looking for some more exciting choices than just strawberry. All of their flavours sounded so delicious (and creative) and I would have loved to try their ice cakes! Hopefully next time ;)

Soy-free Vegan Ice Cream 🍦

After seeing so many nice reviews about this place, I finally managed to go there 🤩 and I was not disappointed! Since I don’t really like soy ice cream, I was thrilled to hear it was made with rice milk. It was such a delightful treat! 🍦💖

Thank You AcheMi 🌱

🇰🇷💚🇰🇷 This Place is Ice Cream Heaven it's finest... literally because it's vegan, made peacefully without cruelty and the taste is out of this world 🤤😍 We ordered 5 different desserts and we can recommend them ALL! I absolutely agree with all the comments before 👍🏼 Also the Staff was incredibly friendly, it gave such good vibes and positive energy 👏🏼

I came back and was not disappointed 😍 The owner remembered me and she and her colleague were so nice again! I tried different desserts and there were all 👍🏼⭐️ This is my favorite dessert cafe by now and i will come back here often 🍦😌🍦

One and Only Achemi!

Achemi has variety of vegan ice creams. Their fermentation technique with rice to make ice cream is amazing. Achemi also has ice cream cake and it is fantastic. If you don’t like coconut, then this place is the one and only ice cream place for you!

Best in the world!!

The person who brought me here said it was "The best vegan ice cream... ok, maybe best vegan ice cream in Korea!" I was sort of iffy because I have had some pretty good vegan ice cream. Honestly, it was the best vegan ice cream I have had anywhere. Staff take time to explain in detail all the options.

Ignore any "best of" lists that does not incluse this is their global top.

Best ice cream in the world

Edit: the new location is great and bigger. Still the best ice cream in the world! Love this place so much
Please try it! Highly recommended and you’re missing out if not trying


This is literally the best ice cream in the world. I have been to Italy multiple times and had milk ice cream before I was going plant based. But this is better than all I have ever tasted. The chocolate Brownie is so rich in flavor! Wow. Very creamy and delicious. They have special things like spikes (aquafaba meringue kind off) and also delicious Creme brûlée. It’s delicious.
The red bean ice cream wasn’t my cup of tea but very authentic! Next time I need to try the ice cream cakes

Ice cream cake

Must visit in Seoul! Located near a cool stream that you be an walk by when you are done eating. I got the chocolate caramel ice cream cake and it was amazing! I haven’t had ice cream cake since I went vegan, so it was really nice to experience it here. I also tried the bingsu and it was really good!

The best vegan icecream

It is pretty far away from my location but I always find ways to visit this place again and again. Super friendly staff with amazing vegan icecream and desserts. I tried the new chest nut flavour and it was simply amazing. Honestly I love everything they have😂 Also I am a big fan of their crème brûlée. Would love to try their cake soon!!

Loved it!

I loved this place so much, will definitely be returning😄they had such a variety of flavours and styles of ice cream to try! It's very reasonably priced too, considering how well trained they are.

The staff speak very good English and are lovely and always willing to help with choosing what to get.

The first time I went, I got one scoop strawberry cheesecake ice cream which was so tasty! My friend got a lemon style one which was also so so nice and I would love to find something similar in the UK! 🍋

My other friend got a forest fruit ice cream cookie sandwich and loved that...so next time I visited, I decided to get the mint choc chip ice cream cookie sandwich which was very nice (but warning there was a very strong mint flavour!) 🍫.

I went with 2 other friends this time and one of them got one of her scoops as basil (and I think lemon?) which was so cool as they offer a few exotic flavours such as corn flavoured ice cream too. 🌽

The location isn't in the centre of Seoul, but I would definitely say to visit at least once if you're in the city.🥰

ps; the complimentary meringues are super cute💗

The best ice cream ever

Literally to best thing I've eaten in Korea. The ice cream was so soft and rich - pure heaven. A must for anyone in the area. Even if you're not in the area it's worth the trip.

I think its worth noting that all of the ice creams contain soy. But they do have some other deserts and drinks that may not contain soy.

Currently no tasting because of covid.

Pros: All vegan goodness

Hi. How was the trip there? Could you tell me any tips on how to find it?

becsvegana

26 Jun 2022

Hi! It's actually really close to a bus stop so its fairly easy to get to. If you look up the korean name (아케미) on naver maps or kakao maps it should pop up! If you still need help, just ask :)

Fun, creative flavours - ALL vegan

I cannot say enough good things about this place. It would be worth a visit just to chat with the amazing owners/staff, but then there's the ice cream -- omg. First, the ingredients -- they make their own ice creams from *real* food ingredients, e.g. the mint and basil flavours are made with mint and basil leaves, not from a bottle. They make the most creative flavours I've ever seen, and they're never disappointing, AND they keep changing them up with the seasons. My favourites continue to be the mugwort/ adzuki bean and the black sesame ones, but they're all so, so, sooooo good! I've also tried the ice cream cakes and their (enormous!) ice cream cookies. I wish I could live here!

Pros: Amazing, fresh ingredients, Fun, creative flavours, Amazing staff

Cons: A bit off the beaten path, but very much worth it

Artisan gelato - vegan and Korean

This gelateria uses rice milk as the base for their ice cream, and adds ingredients mostly sourced in Korea. The menu changes slightly with the seasons and according to the ingredients available.

The menu is rather large and diverse for a small, vegan, ice cream store:
There are 12 flavors of gelato🍦🍨 , hand-made ice cream cakes 🍰, cookie sandwiches 🍪 as well as shakes/float-like icecream beverages. 🧋

Regarding the location, which is somewhat on the outskirts of the city, it is a small cafe with little seating space. The owners, however, are very friendly and passionate about gelato.

Pros: Large menu, Good taste, Nice staff

Cons: Far away but it's worth the trip, Small seating space
