커피잇집 (IT Cafe) — Restaurant in Busan

I really loved visiting this place and I still highly recommend coming for the views, but I feel I absolutely have to share this warning: Exercise EXTREME caution here if you have food allergies or intolerances.

I have pretty severe lactose intolerance and milk allergy, so when I saw there was oat milk on the menu, I was very excited, since it’s not common to see that as an option in Korea. I double and triple checked that my order was oat milk and the person who took my order confirmed and repeated “oat milk” back to me.

However, 30 min after I had my “oat milk” mango latte, I started experiencing stomach pains. I asked my friend who had tried a sip, “did that taste like oat milk to you?” and she was like “oh crap… no, it didn’t.” It was hard to tell with the mango flavoring, but in hindsight I think it tasted too good to be true.

I started having cold sweats, diarrhea, and even vomited, and broke out with hives on my face - all my classic symptoms of milk ingestion (I don’t have this reaction to anything else).

Edit: the store replied that the checked the CCTV and that they gave me oat milk and suggested it was because of the cake I ate. Firstly, it was my friend who ordered the cheesecake, I did not eat it. I had the lemon cake, and I don’t react to normal baked goods. Many people with dairy intolerances can eat baked goods that have milk in them - I only react to straight milk or ice cream. I’ve been in Korea for a week already and have been having baked goods without an issue, and I also eat baked goods at home all the time with no problems. If my illness was not caused by milk, then it may have been...

Coffee it house is a hidden gem with not only great ambiance and delicious food but also exceptional hospitality. The owner was incredibly nice and accommodating, going above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. She showed genuine care for her guests and even asked if we were Muslim. Upon learning that we were, she kindly offered us a private room to pray. This level of thoughtfulness and consideration made our experience truly special. I highly recommend In the House Cafe for anyone looking for a warm and welcoming atmosphere where the staff genuinely cares about their guests’...
