Cool Café's in Seoul Seongsu-dong (서울 성수동 빵집)
I always spend a portion of my free time on Naver, looking for new things to do in Seoul.Jen's been talking about a cafe she wanted to visit and coincidentally, the one I wanted to see was in the same location. The first was Café Onion, which I'm disappointed at because I honestly thought there'd be onions hanging from the ceiling but to my dismay, there weren't any. The second was Urban Source. They're both found in Seongsu-dong. (성수동)
Mon/Tues/Wed/Thurs/Fri:
08:00-22:00
Sat/Sun:
10:00-22:00

Now, this is the room where tiny bakers can be found making magic.
Just kidding.
They're not tiny but they certainly are magicians.
Conveniently, the workers have a good view of the pantry so when food is running low, they make more of what's required and send it down on this cool mini-lift thing.
Since this is a popular café the main area was really packed and we just about managed to find a rooftop seat. If you ever plan on visiting, come when it's not a peak time.
Jen got the 팡도르 (pandor, 5,000원) and an Iced Americano. (4,500원)
I got the 치즈바게뜨 (cheese baguette, 4,000원) which was surprisingly sweet and a glass of carrot juice. (5,000원)
Personally, I don't think was worth it for the cost mainly due to the fact that I expected it to be as big as Jen's Americano.
Which happened to be sweating as much as I was >_<The sign where the bread was displayed said:
"카스텔라 같은 식감
바닐라반 슾가파우더."
"Castella like texture with vanilla powder."
If you like really sweet things this will be right up your street.
After Onion we headed towards Urban Source.
Open Everyday:
11:00-23:30
We didn't get any food here but there is an Instagram Photo Booth stand thing. Is that what it's called?Anyway I obviously had to take advantage of it. Let's just agree that I live my life to embarrass Jen.Clearly Onion and Urban Source have two different concepts. Urban Source is more vibrant whereas Onion is more industrial.
Once again I've left the maps for you below!
