Cafe Onion Anguk

Food is great, the filling is really tasty especially the pistachio cream with croissant, but croissant itself is not as crunchy as I was expect, but overall with the great ancient building and dinning experience, it is a good place to go when you visit the area in summer time, plenty dinning space and the food is on the table for self service, no extra waiting. In the culture aspect in Korea you need to return your own plate and cup to the counter, I put 5 star for the service is because the staff came in and clean the table really quick.

Very cool spot. The renovated old Korean building gives the experience so much character. There’s plenty of abundant seating, the coffee and pastries from onion are fantastic, and it’s just such a cool place to come and connect with friends or relax on your own. Very well worth a visit if you’re in Seoul for a bit.

This was so so good. We waited in line to sit outside for maybe 15/20 minutes. Once we got inside it was quick. Everything was so amazing. The chocolate salt bread was incredible and the sausage roll was delicious. I wish we could have come back more times. Drinks were fantastic as well.

Onion Anguk is such a beautiful café — the design truly captures the essence of Korea. 🇰🇷✨ Their sourdough with avocado was absolutely delicious, and the variety of pastries is honestly impressive — so many tempting options to choose from! But be prepared: it gets super crowded, and you might have to wait a bit. Still, it’s 100% worth it for the vibe, the flavors, and the photos. A must-visit if you’re in Seoul!

The pasties and ambiance are 10/10. The line was quite long when we arrived, but moved quickly. You have the option to choose the dine in line or take out line. We chose dine in. You are seated and then head to the bakery to choose your pastries. All were delicious. Was hoping for more savoury or protein options.

The cafe is set up in a traditional Korean style housing, very cosy and comfortable. We were lucky only waited about 10 minutes. There are air-conditioning rooms and non air-conditioning outdoor sitting. Once you find your seats, proceed to the service area to select the assortment of pastries and your drinks. There is also a takeaway bag if you can't finish your pastries as you probably would want to order everything. The pastries are delicious and, of course, pretty that you hesitate to eat.

I think this is definitely one of those places where you can have a good time if you manage expectations about why you go there. I thought the pastries and coffee were average. I figured the strawberry cream croissant would be the best of the bunch and it was. I would definitely recommend it. There are much better pastries to be had in Seoul generally, and near the area specifically if that is what you are after. Ultimately, you are waiting in line and paying for the setting which was very beautiful. They played light pop music although I wish they played either no music or at least something more new age to add to the relaxing atmosphere. Happy to have done it once but I would be unlikely to return.

Beautiful setting. Very organized with 2 separate queues for take out and dine in. The pastries unfortunately were not as delicious as they looked. We tried their signature pastry and it was just not to my liking. The cheese filling in the garlic bread was oddly sweet, even though the bread itself was very good.
