Immaculate vibes

Good vegan place in central Seoul. I had a wrap and a cookie - wrap was great, cookie drier than my sense of humour.

The best egg salad sandwich in the world

I'm not joking! They have the best egg salad sandwich in the world, without shadow of a doubt. The nicest people too. We ordered takeout the first time - the egg sandwich and a banh mi- to take to Lotteworld. We couldn't resist getting more to take on the train to Busan. They gave us a free cookie too. I miss this sandwich so much!

Loved it!

I would have eaten here multiple times during my time in Seoul if it weren’t so far from where I was staying. Both the wrap and the banh mi were so delicious. The staff were really friendly too, we had a nice little chat! Would highly recommend this place if you’re in Seoul.

Pros: Tasty food, Reasonably priced , Promote zero waste!

Cons: Closes too early for dinner

Lovely Vegan Spot

Very good food and very enjoyable place for a short break. The food is great, no disposable plastic, you can see they really care about what they are doing. We especially liked the gluten free cookie.

Everything about tofu :)

If you are a tofu lover, should drop by here. The menu is all about tofu, in more western cuisine style. It will be interesting if they can explore tofu menu in Asian style.

I had the eggless egg salad as didn’t want to fill my tummy for my lunch which was scheduled in less than one hour later.

The tofu egg didn’t fail my expectation. It was good. I also tried the gluten free cookie, it’s not overly sweet. I bought two cookies and the blueberry crumble muffin for takeout.

You will love tofu if you come here

Really cute restaurant just next to Namsan Park, it is a great place after a walk there. Every dish incorporates tofu. I got the VCLT wrap, it was so delicious ! The sauce was so flavourful, and I liked how they put nacho chips in the wrap, it gives a crunchy texture to it. The wrap is so filling, I was not even hungry for dinner ! (But maybe my stomach is just small 😅). Highly recommend it !

Pros: Fully vegan, Very flavourful , Super filling

Cons: Might be expensive for some people

Healthy-ish options

They make nice large wraps without rice. The tempeh tofu wrap was good. The bytofu wrap was not great as the “pickled carrot” was too sweet and ended up dominating the flavor of the whole wrap. The sunrise bowl was also tasty although I thought the dressing could have been healthier.

Location is great if you want to hike up to the Seoul tower afterwards there is a trail that starts very close to the restaurant.

Truw to it's name, I love tofu!

Their sandwiches and drinks are all so great, especially the sandwiches are so filling and worth the price! It's a cute little cafe near the namsan Tower.
It's the best place to go for breakfast! I feel so energised from their sandwiches.

Pros: All vegan!!! , Located near the N tower, Worth the price

This is one of the few places in Seoul where you can get a good vegan breakfast since it opens early.
I had the eggless sandwich without strawberry Jen and it was very nice and filling! #Veganuary

Amazing, healthy and delicious 5/5

By tofu was an amazing experience! I can not recommend it enough. Since it was nice and sunny outside I could sit on the beautiful patio outside (Namsan tower views included). There are some blankets in case you get cold.

I got the sunrise bowl and it was one of the best dishes I had so far. Delightful fresh salad with quino and Kimut and some red onions, beans and corn! It comes with baked Tofu (not fried!) in a sweet & sour sauce as well with broccoli and some vegan mayo. I love the fact that the dressing is on the side! It was delicious by the way very flavorful and not oily at all.
It said smoked tofu but thankfully it’s not the strong smoked tofu I know from back home - it’s just a very well marinated tofu 💝
A very refreshing lime - dressing! I love that they don’t serve rice but a healthier version with quinoa! Also it’s only small and more veg which I appreciate a lot.
Very friendly service. They offer fresh water and have a fridge with some salads or drinks for take out. I can’t wait to try their wraps and then Banh! The wraps look so great with lots of veggies and lettuce!
Come here early because they are very popular and might sell out!

Update: I went back for the VCLT wrap: tempeh and tofu with homemade sauce and lettuce, cucumber and nachos! Some jalapeños as well. It was stunning! I can only recommend everyone to go here. Will be back soon - it’s so delicious and service is very friendly
Just amazing !

Simple filling quick meals OPEN for breakfast!!

Took me a long time to come because it is sort of out of the way for me and I knew they were small, so getting seat might be a problem. Finally made it here to have a really good tofu wrap. Stuffed with tofu slices and also stuffed with greens. It tasted really good. Will not hesitate to come back and try other menu items.

Update: I have tried the whole menu by now. Love this place for the simple reliable lunches 😋

Home-made and simple

This is a bistro-like place with a couple of light meals as well sweet treats: They have sandwiches, wraps and bowls, most of which feature either tofu or tempeh. For dessert, there are a couple of house-made cakes as well as cookies. Their classic cookies are also available at Shop Right, a vegan store in the neighborhood that is run by the same owners.

Food is simple and made mainly with natural and fresh ingredients.

The place has been expanded recently, so there is more space for customers to sit and eat on location.

Pros: taste ok-good, nice atmosphere
