Beautiful cafe with a beautiful view

Came here more than once for the croissants and atmosphere.
Very calm space with beautiful views of the palace. There are three floors with seats on floors 2 and 3. There is also a rooftop. You take a seat first, then come down to order. You are given a buzzer which will inform you when your food is ready.
They serve very very good croissants with a variety of creams. We’ve tried the sesame, matcha and chocolate all of which are great. Sesame is best for a less sweet flavour, chocolate for a sweeter flavour and matcha is in between. I’ve had a baker once say they don’t make vegan croissants and they won’t be nearly as good, but before going vegan I haven’t had a croissant that is better than the ones served here.
The coffees are also great. I had their special axe also, which just tasted like an ordinary soft drink so wouldn’t recommend unless it’s what you’re after.
Highly recommend #Veganuary

Pros: Delicious croissants , Great drink selection , Atmosphere and ambience

Cons: Staircases, unsure if there is a lift

Good food and good view

The shop is right next to gyeongbokgung palace and you can see it if you get a table by the window.
I had a latte and a black sesame croissant. The croissant was super delicious, had a perfect texture and was not soggy underneath the sesame cream. The cream itself was really good and not too sweet. I sadly wasn't the biggest fan of my coffee, it was a little too bitter for my taste, but still very drinkable 😄
It was pretty full when I was there, so you might not get a table right away.

Pros: Great croissants!

Cons: Pretty full store, you might not get a table

Amazing vibes

The Gyeongbokgung store is so cool. The interior is really clean and modern and super Instagram-able.

Their drinks are really delicious. I've had the iced matcha, hot chocolate and iced strawberry latte. My fav is the iced matcha and it comes with a meringue/cream topping.

The croissants and croffles are amazing! They come served with a peanut cream (meringue), but if you get a macaron you have to let it warm to room temp or it's hard as a rock.

It's concept is quite sweet - writing a letter to yourself in the future - and they can send it internationally too.

Great views on Gyeongbokgung over it's 3 levels, and a great place to relax or do some work.

Pros: Very cool interior, Delicious, Good price

really nice!

I’ve been to nuldam space twice now and have left happy both times! the concept of being able to write yourself a letter and seal it is super sweet, and great for tourists too as they ship worldwide (very cheaply!!). the food is tasty, bit too much cream for me😆 would be a 5 if there were some savoury options, feel like it’s missing a sandwich/toastie option!

Pretty relaxing café with delicious food

We loved this place. The ambience is lovely and there is a lot of space to sit and work or read if you wish. The food and coffee is literally otherworldly. We tried the croffle and it was delicious as well as the sesame coffee. Loved it

Tasty

Loved the macaron and croissant! Can only recommend visiting. The women at the front knew English so I didn’t have to force my bad Korean on them too ❤️

Pretty snack corner

This place offers many snacks and desserts, but unfortunately when we went in the afternoon all desserts and unpackaged foods were sold out. We bought a few of their packaged snacks, which were alright. Its a cute place to hang out and relax. Their hot chocolate is nice too - not too heavy on the stomach, but also perhaps a bit too sweet.

Beautiful cafe

Beautiful and quiet (it wasn’t busy when we were there) cafe close to a lot of touristic spots. The whole menu is vegan. Nice and relaxing atmosphere. We had a brownie and a cream croiffle which were both delicious. It was a bit pricey but definitely worth it.
••• They don’t take cash payment, ONLY card! •••

Pros: Amazing food, especially the vegan cream croiffle, Beautiful building, Everything was vegan

Cons: Card payment ONLY, Bit expensive

The view

One of my first days in Seoul but it’s gonna be hard to beat that place
They have wide variety of beverages and vegan desserts. You can also write a letter for someone and it will send in one year on a date that you want it to be send.
The view is so pretty with the walls of palace and people dressed in hanboks walking on the street

Pros: Location, Letters , It’s vegan!!!

Aesthetic cafe in good location

A vegan cafe with many options: original croissants, cream croissants, croffles (with cream, ice cream...) and many drinks. The matcha was very delicious!
The views are also beautiful, next to the palace, and the cafe is very nice, with a special design.
They also have a space where you can write a letter to your future self. I think it's so sweet.
I will definitely return!

Pros: 100 % vegan, aesthetic, location

Very tasty with interesting concept

Pastry was sweet but very Yummie. Matcha latte was on point and I still dream some nights about it. But the location was superb. Very modern and bright building directly across the street of the palace.
Their concept is about writing a letter to your future self or so/bf. You write a letter, seal it and you get it one year from now to open.

Such a sweet concept

This is a fully vegan cafe where you can write a letter to your future self and they post it the following year on your chosen date!!

I got a chocolate croffle...my first ever croffle and it was super nice. I asked which drink the staff recommended and it was elderflower ade (the rainbow one), which made the perfect photo!🌈

My friends also got chocolate croffles, along with lattes, which they also liked (and they looked very aesthetic too)

The letter sets were 4,000 KRW each, or 5,000 KRW if you want to send it internationally which is a very reasonable price as it includes a postcard, envelope, unlimited stickers and the chance to seal the envelope with a wax seal!🤗 However, the price of the food and drinks did make the trip a bit more expensive 😬

This is such a cute and unique idea which I had never seen anywhere else so I would encourage everyone to go and talk to future you while having some vegan goodies!

Nice view

This 3-floor vegan cafes next to Gyeongbokgung palace offers a great view to the surrounding mountains. Quiet place during weekdays perfect to enjoy a tea and a dessert. The croiffle I ordered was a bit bland and stiff but overall good. It came with vegan cream (very sweet).

Perfect for an afternoon break

We had a Croffle, a chocolate croissant, the strawberry latte and elderflower-ade. Everything was tasty and nicely presented. Plenty of seating over 3 floors. Convenient location close to one of the main palaces.

Pros: Good quality food and drinks, Convenient location

Cons: Not exactly cheap

Transcendent croiffle

The drink was nice but nothing special as other reviewers had said. The croiffle however, was a spiritual experience and for that alone this place gets 5*s. It came warm and glazed with syrup. On the side was a pot of whipped vegan cream topped with chocolate powder. It was simple but effective

Pros: All vegan, Reasonable price (for Seoul), Delicious food

Cons: Peach ade had no real peach in it

Cool place!

Loved the view from the third floor of this cool cafe located near the palace. I wasn’t sure what was going on with the letter writing but I’m interested to do it next time! I had the full intention of eating the delicious looking macaroons but I just couldn’t resist the churro scone, which was super yum. I also got a peppermint iced tea. Will definitely be back.

Average vegan cafe. Nothing special

Theres really nothing memorable about this place other than the mailing thingy and plenty of seats (not comfy) and that theyre all vegan. Nice neighborhood to walk around in tho. Drinks were average. Could improve quality overall.

As expected..

Same menu and concept as other location. Acceptable option if in area. Barista was very diligent in how he made drinks. Drinks were a bit sweet but the norm for Seoul.

For the sweet-toothed

We now have a *hip* vegan dessert cafe in downtown Seoul, amidst the touristy area of Gyeongbok Palace, the Modern Art Museum and Bukchon village. And it seems to attract many non-vegans!

The entire menu is vegan. The milk in drinks is oat milk and their cream is based on almonds. Desserts currently include e.g. cookies, scones and bottle cakes.

Prices vary largely: A large cookie or scone costs around 3500 KRW, while bottle cakes are 7500 KRW. Drinks are priced between 5-7000 KRW.

Cookies and scones are served warm, which makes them soft as well as crumbly. I thought the scone was ok, but the sesame cookie was shockingly sweet..

The entire building, which comprises 3 floors, belongs to the company. You order on the first floor, which also is the space for their "Letter for the Future" project. Seating is on the 2nd and 3rd floor, but the staircase is quite narrow. The view from the upper floors is pretty nice, though!

Perhaps due to the location, food and design concept, it is immensely popular among young women. It can get very crowded here, particularly between Friday and Sunday!

Updated from previous review on 2022-04-08

Pros: variety of flavors, taste ok (but depends on what you get), nice location, yet comparably low prices

Cons: crowded, bottle cakes are weird
