Vegan gem in Seoul ! 💎 - Edit
If you visit Seoul, you must go to this shop. It is a café and also a grocery shop, and fully vegan ! So cozy, you can even study there. A wide range of different products you can purchase, from books, fabrics, frozen products, sauces, ramens, sweets, chocolates, hygiene products etc... There is also a section with loose goods, with dry fruits, biscuits etc... Vegan heaven !

Vegan Haven Worth the Trip - Edit
Absolutely worth the trip! This place combines a café, bakery, and grocery store, which was perfect since finding vegan options in South Korea can be tricky. I loved their cheese muffin, tiramisu, and other bakery items and they’re all so tasty. They also have vegan dumplings and kimbap, which I couldn’t get enough of. The café is super cute, and they sell reusable bags and other eco-friendly items, which is such a thoughtful touch. If you’re vegan in Seoul, this is a must-visit.

Absolute unit of tiramisu - Edit
Best zero waste/vegan store I have been to! I found so many gems and great vegan products. They have a bulk section as well where you can refill products.
Read moreOrdered tiramisu and as the title says, it was an ABSOLUTE UNIT. Seriously this one piece is enough to feed 4 people. It was absolutely delicious and value for money.
Also their hojicha is nice.
They have lots of books you can read about veganism and zero waste etc.

Hidden Gem - Edit
Almost hidden on the second floor of an unspectacular looking building, you'll find this little gem of a vegan store in the centre of Itaewon. I came here to have a coffee and some cookies and ended up going out with some nice vegan goods in my backpack. It's cozy to sit and they also have a zero-waste part where you can get everyday articles without plastic.

Great shop with fun snacks - Edit
Sadly, I didn't get to try any of their café food, but I did grab a few packaged treats (premade soups and snacks) to bring back home. It's nice to go into a shop and not worry about what you can and can't eat ☺️

O WOW no waste concept cafe 🍵 🤩 - Edit
It’s tugged away at the corner of an old building, once you walked into, then voila! I like the no waste eco friendly concept with vegan food, cooking ingredients, pet food and cafe all in one! I had an iced coconut matcha latte and a kombucha! So refreshing with the hot weather hit 31 degree Celsius every day in Seoul this year! Will return to try everything!

If you are lost with missing vegan options in supermarkets and don’t want to eat only in restaurants, this one is a great starter. They also have small cafe there. My favorite is madeleine with cheese. Give it a try!

Love it - Edit
All the drinks and cakes were sooooooo good! It was great to find all the good vegan snacks, books, and other items in one place. I will definitely make a few more trips while in Korea. The only downside was that the same items they sell here were pricier than the other zero waste stores around.
Read moreNonoshop
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful review with us! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the drinks, cakes, and the unique range of vegan snacks, books, and other items at our shop. Your support means the world to us, and we're so glad to have made your experience memorable.
Read moreRegarding your feedback on pricing, we truly appreciate your honesty. It’s crucial for us to understand our customers' perspectives to continually improve. We aim to offer competitive prices, frequently comparing our rates with other zero-waste stores to ensure our offerings are affordable. Our pricing reflects not only the quality and uniqueness of our products, including organic and fair-trade items, but also our commitment to promoting a vegan lifestyle without compromising on quality. It's possible that some items may appear more expensive due that they are organic or fair-trade certification, or that being sold without packaging they “look” more expensive because they look smaller then when packaged. Also some shop might have better deal than us with some suppliers so that can impact cost. We strive to negotiate the best deals with our suppliers to keep our prices as low as possible to make veganism more accessible.
We understand the importance of transparency and value in every purchase. As we grow and evolve, our mission remains to make vegan products more accessible and affordable for everyone. Your feedback is invaluable in this journey, and we're continuously working to balance affordability with sustainability and ethical sourcing.
We're heartened to hear that we've reached a significant milestone in our journey, with last month marking the first time we broke even(of course not including the investment😅). This achievement is a testament to the growing interest in veganism in Korea, and we're excited to welcome both vegans and non-vegans alike to discover the wealth of options available. Our primary goal has never been profit, but rather to foster a community and environment where veganism is easily embraced.
We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Nono Shop soon. Your continued support inspires us to keep striving for excellence and to make the vegan journey enjoyable and affordable for all. Thank you again for your feedback and for being a valued member of our community.

Not only a shop, not only a cafe. - Edit
Nonoshop is not only a shop or a cafe, but also community place. Public figure Julian (Belgian and speak fluent Korean & English) with nonoshop team put all things together quite well. Itaewon is one of the best vegan friendly area but there was no less/zero waste shop before nonoshop opens! You can buy food & non food items, vegan drinks & cakes, also can participate to amazing talk series and collaborated pop-ups. Bravo!
Read moreNonoshop
Thank you so much, Hellen, for your kind words and for recognizing the essence of what we strive to be at NonoShop – more than just a shop or café, but a vibrant community hub for all things vegan and zero waste. Your acknowledgment is particularly special to us, as it feels like a badge of honor to receive such positive feedback from someone who has worked hard for the community. 🙏 Your support and participation mean the world to us, and it's our collective effort that brings our vision to life.
Read moreWe are glad to have filled a much-needed gap in Itaewon by offering a zero-waste option in an area well-deserved of its vegan-friendly reputation. Our goal is to provide a one-stop destination where everyone can enjoy delicious vegan food and drinks, find both food and non-food items that align with our shared values, and engage in meaningful community events like our talk series and collaborative pop-ups.
Your appreciation of our efforts to create a unique space in Itaewon motivates us to keep pushing boundaries and to continue bringing our community together through shared values and experiences. Bravo and thank you, not just for your kind words, but for being an integral part of this journey and for supporting our vision of a more sustainable and inclusive world.
Always happy to see you in the shop! Let's continue to grow this wonderful community together!

Great concept, lovely place - Edit
This is an eco-friendly and vegan place that combines a cafe and a zerowaste store. It is not just a great place for hanging out or studying/working while enjoying vegan treats - you can even get groceries or dispose of recyclables here.
Read moreThe cafe section offers a handful of house-made bakery items. There are also occasional Pop-Ups featuring more food options or products from other vegan-friendly businesses. (Check out their Instagram page for events!)
What I had here so far was pretty good!
Regarding the store section, they have diverse refill stations for food and household goods, and you can bring your own containers to reduce waste! In addition to non-packaged goods, there are imported as well as domestic vegan products (some are organic) and eco-friendly life style products (some are based on upcycled materials).
What's really cool is that they have a nutbutter machine, which currently makes peanut butter and almond butter on demand. You can get fresh nutbutter consisting of 100% peanuts/almonds within a few seconds!
Staff is super friendly, and most staff members also speak English.
The atmosphere is warm and welcoming.
The interior is designed with an eco-friendly concept in mind as well. You can see a bunch of living plants, upcycled materials and decorations made from marine debris. #Veganuary
Pros: Taste good , Friendly staff & good atmosphere, Great concept and ideas
Cons: Can get pricey easily
Nonoshop
Thank you for your thoughtful review and for highlighting what makes NonoShop a special place for our community. We're delighted to know that you appreciate our eco-friendly and vegan concept, our commitment to reducing waste with refill stations, and the unique offerings like our nutbutter machine 🥜. It's heartening to hear that our friendly staff and the warm atmosphere have contributed to making your visits enjoyable.
Read moreRegarding your observation about pricing, we greatly value your feedback. It's important for us to hear from our customers as we strive to maintain transparency and fairness in our pricing strategy. We aim to keep our prices competitive while ensuring that we offer products of high quality and ethical sourcing, including organic and locally sourced items whenever possible. Since we focus on zero waste and vegan products, some items might carry a premium due to their organic or fair-trade certifications or the cost associated with sustainable, ethical production practices. Additionally, as we opt not to use packaging, the true value and quality of our products are more visible, which can sometimes give the impression of being pricier compared to traditionally packaged goods.
We're continually working to negotiate the best possible deals with our suppliers to keep our products as affordable as possible, without compromising on our values. Our goal is to make veganism and sustainable living accessible and appealing to as many people as possible, and we understand that part of this mission is to manage costs carefully!
Thank you once again for your support and for bringing your concerns to our attention. We're always looking for ways to improve and make NonoShop a place where everyone can enjoy high-quality, sustainable, and ethical products at fair prices. We look forward to your next visit and hope to continue to exceed your expectations in every way possible.
