Cafe Onion Mia — Restaurant in Seoul

One of three Onion cafes in Seoul, this branch is located in the North East residential suburb of Mia-dong, easily accessible from Mia station on the blue line (No. 4).

The minimalist concept of their Mia cafe is in complete contrast to the traditional hanok atmosphere of their flagship branch in Anguk. Interestingly both of the cafes were designed by the same group at Korean branding house Fabrikr (established 2010). In their own words "we bring a life to mere [spaces] by creatively re-interpreting visual, tactual effects of infinte colour senses and various textures"; certainly a fitting description for the dimly lit back walls and array of modern furniture that fills the large 220 SQM abstract space.

Mia's speciality in the baking department is their "Kougin-amann" (꾸인아망"), already described as "the fattiest pastry in all of Europe" by the New York Times, their version comes with a topping of butter and chocolate. Effectively it's a condensed cup-sized variety of the traditional croissant, originally from the French region...

Their coffee is kinda weak for me but I tried Iced otmeal decaf latter for the first time on the other day and it was absolutely the best decaf coffee / oatmeal latte I've ever had. If you are an oatmeal latte lover, Onion is the one of must-go places. Plus, their plain croissant is perfect to go with any kinds of coffee. Will definitely visit...

Very aesthetically pleasing cafe! 🥰 The staff was super nice and helpful and there were many different pastries 🥐 and all of them looked delicious! Definitely a nice spot to read a book or work on...
