Daelim Changgo

One of the best restaurants we've been to. Ever. An explosion of different flavours, textures and colours. We will definitely be eating here again next time we are in South Korea.

Such a unique cafe! Great pastries and drinks, but what stands out about this cafe is the interior. This cafe transports you to a warehouse setting with high ceilings and blunt architecture! Check it out early before it gets too busy!

I happened to be in this area the 1st time and luckily I was drawn to this place due to its appearance. What surprised me was the food and the innovation from the chefs here are even better than the look of the restaurant. I highly recommend this place for those in the area!!

The Korean Fusion Dining at Daelimchanggo at Seong-su has a good ambience and atmosphere inside. Their cocktail was great but unfortunately, the food is less to be desired. The fusion of food and flavours had lost its Korean touch and authenticity. The flavours were confusing and it didn’t have a gel that would marry all these flavours together.

It’s a really popular place. We had to wait and scout for a table. The price point of the drinks and pastries were on the expensive side.

We stumbled upon this café in Seongsu-dong and were immediately drawn in by its industrial-chic aesthetic. The space boasts impressively high ceilings and two large dining areas — it gave off a vibe reminiscent of trendy cafés in Chiang Mai. The interior design is definitely a highlight, with a central display of pastries for customers to choose from. The café was extremely noisy and crowded during our visit. Many people were waiting for seats, and drinks took a while to be prepared. However, the mango bingsu was refreshing and absolutely perfect for a hot summer day — definitely worth trying. One major downside was the restroom situation. For such a large café, there were only three stalls in the women’s restroom and one additional space marked for staff only — highly insufficient given the volume of guests. If you’re looking for a quiet, chill café to relax in, this might not be the place. But if you want to experience the bustling, lively side of Korea’s café culture, this spot is worth a visit.

Daelim Changgo is one of our go-to cafés in Seongsu — we’ve brought friends here a few times and always enjoy the atmosphere. The space is spacious, stylish, and in a great area. I had a hot oat milk latte with an extra shot — really solid. The matcha canelé was a nice surprise too: fluffy on the inside and full of flavor. I originally ordered a cortado, but they mentioned they don’t offer it to-go. Still, overall a great spot to relax or catch up with friends. Definitely worth a visit!

Great cafe in Seongsu! They serves various of bakery and drinks. The cafe is well decorated. The staff is also kind. The foreign customers in front of me cannot speak English well, but the staff really calm and help them to order.
