The Best Cafe in Seoul | Cafe Onion 카페어니언 - Seong Su

vibes

Cafe Onion is absolutely breathtaking. Bih. In one word it is a masterpiece. It’s history as a metal factory in the era of Korean industrialization lends to the immaculate juxtaposition of modern versus aged textures. you’ll never truly appreciate discolored and water-damaged concrete,until you see this place. This is the final destination for aesthetic queens.

Iconic photo of Cafe Onion in Seong Su. I could eat this entire fucking table. Pandoro, tarts, focaccias, toast, squid ink bread, donuts, etc.

fooods

I’ve tried a few items. The Rose Ade, Passionfruit Ade, Muschroom Focaccia, Hodduk Bread, Bacon Focaccia and that strawberry pastry (I forgot what it’s called!). Everything was perfectly made. The drinks were so aesthetically pleasing, the focaccia pizzas were savory and amazing, and the sweeter breads were so balanced and perfectly sweet. The hoedduk (호떡 lol) bread was my favorite. The bread has a textured seedy outer crust and soft red bean interior, just like actual hodduk. It was the perfect amount of sweet and was truly unique and nostalgic and fabulous.
