After a relaxing lunch at Alla Prima, I ventured back to Seongsu-dong to check out the flagship stores of various Korean glasses brand and there were a number of them in the area. But before I started with my shopping, I had some unfinished business from last night – a trip to Café Onion Seongsu.
Café Onion Seongsu has been one of the hottest bakery cafes in Seoul for a while now but the hype never seems to go away.
In fact, more and more people are getting on the bandwagon to get a feel of what it is like to be chilling out at a former factory.
Built in the 1970s, this space was previously a supermarket, a restaurant, a repair shop and most recently, a metal factory.
I guess, most people (like myself) are drawn to the industrial-style décor featuring old and rustic elements.
Forget about climbing those stairs again (like last time), I am happy to hang around the garden here.
A trip to Café Onion is never complete without a sip of their signature drinks. Try this iconic royal milk tea (₩8,000), one of the rustic cafe's most popular drink.
What I love most about their milk tea is the distinctive flavors coming from the mix of ceylon tea. Very very addictive.
I don't think I have tasted anything like it before.
I just got a ping from Jelloman and she's coming down from Myeongdong. Time to meet up with her and spend the afternoon here, before leaving for Ikseon-dong for our supper.
