Bread Lab • 브레드랩

브레드랩
August 21, 2019 by greysuitcase in Cafe, Seoul, South Korea

Bread Lab (브레드랩) is the place where you can go to to find a selection of homemade bakery in the neighborhood of Yeonnam-dong (연남동). Make your way to the entrance of the bakery on the second floor of the house like structure, which also serves as a home to one of the popular Thai restaurant in the area on the first floor. The vintage vibe of the brown wood aesthetic which covered the walls and ceiling of the room will greets you as soon as you stepped into the main area of the bakery, in addition to a row of fresh baked bread and pastries laid out for you to choose from.

There were a couple of other girls who were contemplating on which bread or pastries they should put on the trays on their hand when I was there. I have to say that Marshellia and I had the same problem too when the time came for us to choose which item we should try. Good thing that they put out signs for their best seller items and we ended up picking the interesting looking Green Tea Danish, which was ranked 3rd according to the displayed sign, to share. After we paid for our danish and our drink, we sat ourselves on a table next to the open door leading to the patio area. The Green Tea Danish was good. Super flaky and not too sweet, just the right amount of green tea and powdered sugar mixed together.

After we’re done with our food, I wandered around the bakery and found out that the place is actually bigger than what it seemed to be from the outside. There is another sitting area next to the room that we were sitting in and their outdoor patio area is actually pretty spacious too. Too bad it was a little hot that day so we opted to stay inside, near the door to avoid the hot sun but close enough to the outside to enjoy the gentle cool breeze that blew once in a while.

In terms of the atmosphere, I think this place might not be comfortable for long hours of study session since I found that the height proportions of the chairs and tables are a little bit awkward and uncomfortable, especially if you have to sit up or do some work on the table for a long period of time. But in terms of hanging out and chatting with friends, I think this place is a pretty nice option for it.

Greysuitcase Seoul Cafe Series: What's Your Cereal Number WYCN (왓츠유어씨리얼넘버), Yeonnam-dong (연남동), Seoul, South Korea.

What's Your Cereal Number (WYCN) • 왓츠유어씨리얼넘버

WYCN
October 16, 2018 by greysuitcase in Cafe, Seoul, South Korea

What's Your Cereal Number (왓츠유어씨리얼넘버) or WYCN is another cereal cafe that I’ve visited just out of curiosity. Knowing full well after my visit to Midnight in Seoul that this could be another overpriced cereal cafe, I still decided to give it a go since the place’s newer, smaller, and less popular, thought I give the underdog a go. The cafe itself is pretty small, it only have seatings for around 6 people max. If there is more people than that, the cafe will already be full. Luckily, it was empty when I was there.

Ordering system is slightly different than Midnight in Seoul. Here, it is based on the cup size you choose and it has a flat rate for each cup which includes up to 2 cereals + 4 toppings of your choosing. The regular cup costs ₩7,000 and the large cup costs ₩8,500 (my prediction about the price was right, pretty pricey). The cereal and milk taste pretty standard but the combo that I ended up ordering was way too sweet for me. I think I just didn’t choose a good combo. Anyway, now I found another cereal cafe that is on the opposite side of Seoul, in case I have one of my cereal cravings episode.

CAFE 연남동 239-20
September 30, 2018 by greysuitcase in Cafe, Seoul, South Korea

When you step into Cafe Yeonnam-dong 239-20 (카페 연남동 239-20), you’ll feel as if you’re stepping into a world of comic books where everything around you is defined by black flat line drawings. I accidentally found out about this cafe when I was scrolling through my explore page on Instagram. My curiosity was piqued as I saw the monochrome thumbnail of the cafe’s interior and decided to tap on it. After seeing a couple of pictures of the cafe, I thought it’d be interesting to check the place out. So one day, I went with my friends in search for this cafe in the middle of a residential area. Honestly, when we reached the location, I missed the entrance and if not for my friend who pointed me to the door of the cafe, I probably just continue to walked pass through.

Nestled in the middle of a quiet residential apartments, Cafe Yeonnam-dong 239-20 opened its door last year. The interior design of the cafe was supposedly inspired by Korea’s hit TV series, W, where the real world clashed with the webtoon fantasy world. So I guess this is the webtoon concept of a cafe. Pretty neat.

The cafe itself isn’t that big. I bet nowadays, since the place has gone viral on the internet these past few weeks, it’ll be packed with more people who wanna take a snap at this place for their Instagram feed. It is a pretty Instagrammable place after all. When we were there, it was pretty quiet. There were only 2 other people there with us who were sitting inside, so we opted for the patio area and took our seats. I ended up chatting with the owner for a little bit and she was very nice. She told me they opened last year and asked me how I found out about her cafe. I told her I found a photo on Instagram and she told me that I wasn’t the first. Apparently, lot of the visitors who came also knew from Instagram. She was surprised how Instagram could bring so many people here since she never really did any marketing for the cafe.

I ordered Ice Oat Latte (고귀한 라떼) and a tiramisu for us to share. Their ice oat latte was actually pretty nice if you like milk, oat, grains or the combination of the three. If you are curious to see what the place look like or just want a snap in this place for your instagram feed, definitely check out this cafe ;)

This cafe location seems to have now closed and (I believe) have been rebranded and moved to a new and bigger location (not sure if the owner is the same, cmiiw, but the concept is very well the same). I haven’t been to the new location because every time I passed by the place, it always have a long line of people waiting. The information on the new cafe name and location:
