A gem indeed!

Calling your shop "Hidden Gem" is pretentious! It means it is hard to find, yet so good that it is worth the trouble. So I gave it a try! Although Hiddem Gem is located in a popular shopping area, it is indeed away from the main streets and therefore requires a little extra effort to find. Yet, Korea's premier navigation app called "Naver" dropped me off right in front.

Hidden Gem is a cute little shop selling chocolate, cookies and drinks. All vegan, all made in the shop by the owner. This little shops has a few seats inside, so I tried chocolate milk and cookies. And indeed: the quality is very good. I found the rice cookies especially tasty, as they were sweet but not too sweet and crumbly yet not too crumbly.

I bought a chocolate gift set and the receiver said the quality of the chocolate was exceptionally good. A gem one might say...

Pro tip: "Vegan Kitchen" and "Hiddem Gem" are located close together, so do combine visits to both!

Pros: high quality sweets, nice atmosphere

Cons: not cheap (but worth it)

Delicious coffee and chocolate

Had the Dubai chocolate and the butterscotch latte - both were really delicious!

Fancy and delicious

I was in the 명동 area and decided to go for a little walk to this chocolate store!
It is definitely on the pricier side, but I think the flavour reflects that!
The staff were so so kind! And even gave me a free fermented drink to take home and try as well as a little card to go with my chocolates.
Packaging and presentation 10 out of 10.
An absolute must visit if you’re looking for a fancy treat or the Dubai chocolate bar!!

Pros: Staff, Packaging, Flavour!!

It's a Hidden Gem, literally

My husband and I chanced upon this place while in Myeongdong. He had a chocolate cookie, and I had the almond, rice, and orange peels covered with chocolate. Both were delicious. I'd recommend stopping by to get something here. It's gluten free and vegan, which is difficult to find in Seoul.

Pros: delicious gluten free and vegan treats, great location

Small corner place

Have tried two of their chocolates - the bark one was quite average but the orange peel chocolate was really good! Not everything is vegan here so you need to ask the owner which one is.

A literal hidden gem

Lovely little handmade chocolate shop with various types of small treats. The owner speaks English and the chocolate is delicious!!
