Dotori Garden Anguk — Restaurant in Seoul

Mixed experience here.

Arrival: The café opens at 8 am and they let us in at 8.15am, leaving the queue of people waiting outside with -3 degrees when the café had the door opened but they were just late for the opening. The buffet to pick up the food was missing the cute cannelés (see picture, I took it when we left at 9.30am), they put it out on the buffet at 9.30 rather than at the opening. This isn't quite fair as we had queue, waited in the cold, for the staff to eventually not even put all the menu out on the buffet table for us to choose. The queue inside to pay took us 20 min, where we were standing in a queue in the middle of the buffet zone with the plate in hand. Very very slow staff. All in all, we arrived at 8am and sat at the table to eat at 8.50am.

Food: was decent. The greek yogurt was very good but too small portion. The toppings were very generous so it was really sweet where it would make more sense to have more yogurt and less toppings. The honey comb piece was great.

Price: absolutely overpriced. We paid 45 dollars for 2 small bowls and 2 small pastries.

Would not recommend if the service...

Dotori Garden is a Ghibli Studio themed cafe and bakery in Seoul. The standout of this place is the yogurt bar which serves full fat greek yogurt with granola, fruit, honey comb and honey drizzled over it. I have tried the strawberry and the persimmon options and I would come back to try out all of the options.

This cafe is a two storied old house. The location is homey and cute which presents a lot of opportunities for cute photos.

Chocolate Salt Bread: 7.5/10 Creme Salt Bread: 6/10 Yuzu Canele: 7/10 Choco Madeleine (Acorn Shaped): 5/10 -- very dry Americano (Hot): 6/10 Latte (Hot): 6/10 Juice Drink: 7/10 Black Sesame Cream: 3/10 — too sweet; sesame flavors are not strong enough

Strawberry Yogurt: 8/10 -Full fat yogurt -Fresh strawberries -Granola -Honey comb and honey

Persimmon Yogurt: 9/10 -Full fat yogurt -Persimmon has been cooked and then frozen -Granola -Honey comb and honey

Yogurt Ice Cream Blueberry: 6/10 I prefer the yogurt over the yogurt ice cream. The sourness of the yogurt contrasts well from the sweetness of the fruit -Blueberries are slightly cooked in sugar water -Toasted nuts are...

+: The tuna mayo salt bread (6 800 Won), the onion basil crunch (6 800 Won), the onion pretzel (6 800 Won) are very delicious. The fudge brownie cookie (3 500 Won) tasted like the name, like a brownie and cookie - amazing. The original cannelle (3 800 Won) tasted great. The vanilla cream salt bread (5 800 Won) is displayed in a fun way and delicious.

~: The croque monsieur (4 800 Won) and the egg mayo salt bread (6 800 Won) tasted good. Even though the croque monsieur would have tasted even better if it had been served warm. The chocolate madeleine was good, but a little dry. The strawberry greek yoghurt (18 500 Won) as well as the fig & pistachio greek yoghurt are delicious, however very expensive but the put a honey comb in there, which I guess makes it so expensive - even though it could be too sweet for some people.

-: The banana walnut drink (7 500 Won) as well as the strawberry yoghurt drink (7 500 Won) are a little too sweet and too expensive.

Because of the amazing atmosphere and the delicious snacks I highly...
