Mercy Coffee — Restaurant in Seoul

I am so happy that I found this cafe on my trip because it was the most memorable for me, which is saying a lot considering how many cafes there are in South Korea. The place has a very minimalist feel with a beautiful entrance. There is indoor, outdoor, and rooftop seating. The outdoor seating is only enough for one party, so it felt very private, and I recommend snagging those seats if you can.

The pastries were very pretty and tasted as phenomenal as they looked (so much so that I went back for seconds!). I got fig, grape, tiramisu, and caramel eclairs, an einspanner, and a vanilla bean latte. The eclairs were fresh, true to their flavors, and not overwhelming sweet. The fig one was my favorite. I fell in love with the einspanner after the first sip: it was so smooth, frothy, and milky. The vanilla bean latte was also very good.

I can't recommend this...

It's a residential house that's been converted to a super cool and hip cafe. The dessert that we got was not too sweet and the figs were perfectly ripe. The scotch latte was very sweet and balanced out the bitter espresso well. But my personal favourite was the kiwi and dragon fruit ade. Not too sweet and we were able to pick out the flavour notes of both kiwi and dragon fruits. It was quite busy when we went but you should be able to find a seating because there is a 2 hour limit during weekends. If you're ever in the area and looking for a cool cafe to visit, this place should be on top...

English name for this is Mercy Coffee - recommended by a local friend. $5 for a coffee, it was good though...
