Mil Toast Ikseon

(August 2025) Tried the [1] vanilla ice cream souffle toast. Its soft, thick, with vanilla ice cream. Not their signature, and the ice cream tasted a bit cheap, but the toast itself was fluffy and rich. Also had [2] steamed bread with corn mayo and chestnut sweet potato. A soft brioche steamed to perfection, moist and buttery. Paired with [3] Drip coffee which carries bitter taste to balance out the sweetness. You can try to spread their cream on the plain/mild-flavored bread for an extra layer of flavor. For the best experience, you can give their signature toast and famous drinks like Babamba Milk a try if you are not lactose intolerant. Really worth a visit for bread lovers! — Vanilla ice cream souffle toast ⭐⭐⭐ Steamed bread (basic + chestnut sweet potatoes) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Drip coffee ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is a cosy cafe, I love its interior design which uses mostly natural materials like wood, bricks, linen, and stone. Staff was lovely and would try their best to cater for a large group. Bar table available where you get to see coffee brewing and bread steaming in action. Their honey toasts and french toasts are fabulous. The steam buns comes in the steamer wrapped in steam cloth and are super soft and moist. There is a long waiting line, which you need to stay in the queue. You order everything at once and pay the bill at your table before the food comes. The staff prefer you not to add to your order once you've paid.

This place is very popular with tourists and opens early around 8:00 AM, but there was already a long queue when I arrived! If you are a group of 4, be prepared to wait longer as the space is small and large tables are limited. They have a huge variety of bread, but the fluffy steamed buns are a must-try. You can pick two flavors and they smell amazing.

Mil Toast is a great spot to grab a coffee and relax. The space is really nice, warm, welcoming, and very aesthetic, making it a great place for content and photos. The milk toast itself was okay, nothing mind-blowing, but the overall vibe makes it worth checking out. A nice café to stop by and experience at least once.

I really enjoyed my Mil Toast experience, but I would only recommend if you have time to spare and don’t mind embracing the slower pace of Seoul. I came on a Tuesday around 2pm when there was no queue, and even then, I had to wait 30 minutes for their signature freshly steamed bread. I must say despite the wait, I didn’t mind at all as I enjoyed watching the staff carefully prepare steamed bread, slow drip coffee, and hand whisk matcha. Really recommend getting the corn bread as it’s stuffed with sweet but slightly salty corn mayo. Also enjoyed the no sugar iced matcha. I would not queue again just for bread, but would definitely come again during pockets of time when the place is less crowded as I would love to try their French toast.

Definitely worth the hour wait... and the HYPE. I had to talk my tour guide into this detour and it was worth skipping the KBBQ part of the tour. I had heard amazing things & it was so good that a local is now a regular! One of the best experiences I had in Seoul.

Soo good! They gave us hot tea while we were waiting outside in the cold, and the food was tasty. I don’t even like French toast but this was amazing (maybe because it was steamed??). I love how we got to watch them make it at the bar area. I also have a nut allergy and they were able to point out which ones I shouldn’t order

It was our first time in Seoul and while exploring the neighborhood, we came by this place. It had a huge line up so this must mean it was good...or so we thought. The next morning we qued up for about half an hour before we got in. Honestly, this steam bread was kind of meh... I really don't know what the big hype about this place was other then maybe the vibe or decor. Definitely the food was very average. If you see a line up, just move on. Don't waste your time or appetite.
