Doesn’t live up to the hype - Edit
The place is pretty expensive for what you get. It’s a rare bakery that sells vegan salt bread. This is incredibly buttery (too buttery in my opinion). The service is very friendly but is really slow, don’t go if you’re in a rush to pick something up. I think they recommend you reserve certain things in advance by texting, I didn’t do this but going early enough in the day there’s still lots available. There is a mix of savory breads but mainly focuses on cakes and sweet treats. They looked nice but what I tried didn’t live up to expectations. Overall there are other places that do better vegan cake but this is a decent option if you are in the area anyway.

Cosy, Friendly and Delicious! - Edit
I am a foodie and I like tasting every delicious things in the world.
Read moreWhen I saw Korean people getting crazy with Salt Bread on Youtube, I really wanted to taste it (I love soft fluffy Korean style bread, they should be called “bun” or “pastry” rather).
I looked for the recipe of Salt Bread and realised it contained milk and butter, so I got very disappointed by the thought of not being able to taste it when in Korea… 😔
But here!
This amazing vegan bakery cafe bakes Salt Bread and we were lucky to be there when they were open! 🥳
The bread was warm and fluffy, much better than I imagined. Soy Matcha Latte and Soy Mugwort Latte were also very nice (if you like Mugwort ricecake 쑥떡, you will love this drink too).
The owner baker was really friendly and nice to talk to. I wish her all the best, and hope to visit again in my next Seoul trip. 🙏
Pros: Salt Bread, Mugwort Latte

Not up to par with what you pay for - Edit
We took a spoon cake, two croissants (one empty and one filled with cream of beans and butter) and a lemon tart. Regardless of what we took, if you don't take a drink you can't sit down (they only have soy milk). Summary: slow service, expensive and poor food. For the first time we left food. So disappointed because I can't give 1 star, it is unfair for the other good vegan restaurants, cafes and bakeries. I'm sorry to leave this review because so far, in Seoul, I've always found good and interesting food. Better spend money in other places.

Loved this bakery! - Edit
This is a great little bakery with gluten free and vegan goods! It is so difficult to find gluten free and vegan baked goods, so I was happy to see this place. Their stuff is delicious. My husband had the blueberry cheesecake today, and I had the strawberry pistachio cake. Both were delicious. I would highly recommend this place to all. We want to go back for more! It is a bit pricer than other places around here, but it was worth the splurge. The baked goods are light and airy and don't make you feel disgusting after you've eaten it.
Read morePros: gluten free and vegan, delicious light baked goods, not overly sweet
Cons: on the pricier side, wished it was open more

Popular! - Edit
This was a lovely cafe to visit for post-dinner dessert. They had initially sold out of cake and only had reserved one in the fridge, but then the owner made us a single mocca caramel cake to share. To sit in and take a table you need to order at least one drink, and we had some homemade ade (from the yuzu fruit). Get there early to avoid disappointment!

Popular cafe - Edit
This cafe opens only for two days per week, so make sure you checked their schedule (via IG or Naver) before coming. The cafe was very popular and people kept coming in. There were like 7 flavours of cakes. I tried the black sesame cheese cake. Its texture was like raw cake. Not quite cheesy but I liked it. Couldn’t sit there for too long as there were people waiting.

Delicious cake! - Edit
It's a cute little Cafe with delicious cake. I had a slice of sesame cheesecake (which I ate over the course of two hours because I was reading 😅) and it was really delicious filling. The latte I had with it sadly came only lukewarm, but was still good. (they probably would have replaced it but my anxiety prevented me from asking🙈)
Read moreThe cakes aren't cheap, but worth it 😊
Cons: A little expensive

Amazing Gluten-Free Vegan Bakes - Edit
This vegan café promises to serve bakes without 9 unhealthy ingredients - butter, milk, egg, white flour, white sugar, white salt, white rice, GMO, as well as preservatives and coloring. Instead, they incorporate 9 healthy ingredients - organic coconut or soybean oil, organic soy milk, organic coconut sugar or unrefined cane sugar, organic brown rice, homemade almond milk, homemade vegan butter or mayonnaise, homemade soybean, enzymes, as well as seasonal fruits or vegetables.
Read moreSeems like quite a popular cafe as many bakes had already been reserved when I visited, so it's recommended to message beforehand! The gluten-free cakes I tried were very impressive. 5 min walk from Jongno 3-ga Subway Station or Iksundong Hanok Village. Also within walking distance from Insadong Shopping Street.
- Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake with Fig
- Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake with Green Tea and Red Bean
- Hot Cafe Latte with Soy Milk

Very Delicious and Great Concept - Edit
I’ve already tried several cakes at this bakery and I’m always amazed how perfect the combination of flavors, the texture and the non-sweetness is! They are really outstanding and I like the concept of of the place. Vegan, organic and mostly raw food items!

Delicious and different - Edit
APB has the best gluten free cakes and desserts Ive ever had. They are moist and fluffy. I love how they use seasonal flavors in their desserts
Read moreThey try to use less sugar and focus on healthier ingredients. They have a lot of fruity kombuchas available. In the summer months they offer a patbingsu.
Theyre often experimenting so the menu changes frequently. They became really popular through delivery services during the pandemic, so their hours are somewhat limited. One thing I don't like is that their delivery packing is a large styrofoam box, although its possible they have changed to something better since I ordered. (~6-9 months ago)
The staff here is so friendly and accommodating. The interior is nice but its a popular place so they often sell out or have a long wait for a table
My photos are from July 2019, I have visited since then but I dont have any photos.

Tasty and low sugar! - Edit
Super unique taste with very low sugar. Love that the ingredients stand out way more without a dominant sugary taste. Location is also nice. Located in a backalley and a nice wooden interior. Staff was very friendly and helpful with the selection.

Cute n Cozy - Edit
This little shop is very comfortable. The people are nice and the music is not too loud so it's a good place to just chill for a bit.
Read moreThe food and drinks are amazing!! I especially love that they have kombucha here because kombucha is so hard to find in Seoul. It was made in house and came in a teapot!
Be aware that this a cake cafe so the cakes are great but you won't find much else. The cakes are also very expensive, close to 10,000 won for a slice.
Pros: Vegan cheesecake!! , Very nice staff, Kombucha
Cons: Very pricey

Yummy and quaint - Edit
Really lovely cafe with a large array of vegan deserts. I love the decorations with Disney Knick knacks and Sookmyung University plushie. The owner spoke English and was very nice.
Read moreI had the green tea cake which was tasty. The green tea frosting made it a bit too bitter for me but the cake itself was really good and not too sweet.
The prices are a bit higher than other vegan cafés and I wish they had my diversity in drinks.
Pros: Lots of vegan desserts , Friendly staff , Comfortable environment
Cons: More expensive than other places , Didn’t love the cake I had
