Love this zero waste store! - Edit
They have sweets, haircare, skin care, tooth brushes and paste, kitchen utensils, washing stuff as well as socks and bags. So many things! The employees are very nice too.

great neighborhood zero waste shop - Edit
There are a lot of little goods for sale here and there’s a place for you to bring things that are harder to recycle. There is a section for some groceries but not much (candies and chips.) There’s a lot of space so maybe in the future e they will have a bit more things to buy.
Read moreI got a glass straw and there were some dishes I liked but they were a bit pricey.
As others mentioned, they no longer offer vegan baked goods.
As I remember, this shop was one of the first zero waste places opened in Korea. It was in a really far out location and very small. Nice to see it grow!

No longer have bakery here - Edit
Getting more people to use zero waste shop is essential so having a nice bakery inside this one is a step in the right direction. I bought a few to try. Honestly, they are on par with other cookie/scone bakers in the area. Wish they expanded their offerings a bit. That being said, what they sell now is good.

Great space for the community - Edit
Went in to grab a shampoo bar and came out with some great finds and a tasty s’more cookie. The space is very open and well curated, featuring local brands. Tried the s’mores cookie which was delicious. Will be back for when I run out of products.

I only tried one thing. I'll be back! - Edit
I was in the neighborhood so I decided to stop by and grab something to-go. I got the earl grey scone. It had just a small hint of sweetness. I ate it with some lemon balm tea. The girl that helped me was very sweet. I'd like to go back and try some of the other desserts they offer.

Bring your own containers~ - Edit
This is an eco-friendly shop that sells a diversity of household goods as well as vegan bakery items and beverages. The bakery items are NOT the same as those at Jigu Bakery, which is coincidentally located in the same neighborhood.
Read moreSince this is not a cafe, there is no space for sitting and everything is available for take-out only.
If you bring your own reusable containers, you will get 10% discount on the bakery items!
If you come unprepared (like I did today), food is packaged carefully into individual (!) paper bags - a lot of waste that could be avoided... (made me feel really bad because of that lol)
Their bakery products are mostly sweet treats, ranging from scones, cookies and mini cakes. Cute and lovingly baked on location.
Overall, I enjoyed the taste of the bakery items I had so far. Not too sweet and made mostly from organic ingredients.
Apart from that, the store offers snacks, soaps, laundry detergent, vegan diffusers (from Tiger Lily), women's sanitary items, wooden tableware and much more! They promote zero waste and sustainabilty, so you will find refill stations for various liquids as well as reusable items.
They also collect empty (plant) milk cartons, paper bags, water filters, single-use-cutlery etc. You can bring yours here to have them properly recycled - just show it to staff at the counter. There's also a rewards program for bringing recyclable materials now!

Good start - Edit
They have various multi-use items as well as some pastries. I tried the Oreo cookie and a coconut milk chocolate bar. The cookie was fresh, but a bit dry for me. I prefer soft and moist cookies. Unfortunately they only offer hand soap and laundry detergent for refill. They said they don’t have a license yet for any other products. I’m hoping they’ll expand their refill station to include vegan shampoo, conditioner, and dish soap. The location is convenient for me, and I wouldn’t have to travel 30 minutes to the other refill stores if they had more options. Since multi-use items don’t need to be replaced frequently, it would make more sense to focus on the refill station. Overall, they are off to a good start. I’ll check back regularly to see if they expanded the refill station.
