식사가 가능한 비건 카페 - Edit
모든 메뉴가 비건이라 안심할 수 있고, 카페 옆에는 쇼핑 코너도 있어요. 한식보다는 양식류가 맛있고 비건 치즈나 비건 패티를 이용한 음식들도 먹어볼 수 있어요

Comfort food for everyone - Edit
They offer about a dozen of classic dishes - a mix of Western-style as well as Korean foods:
Read moreVegan pizza🍕, soy burgers🍔, fried dumplings🥟, tomato pasta🍝, fried soy chicken🍗, soy cutlet🥩, fried rice🍚 as well as Korean stews🍲... and for dessert, there is ice cream (various flavors!)🍨, bingsu🍧, cake🍰 and even waffles🥞!
On top of that, some products are gluten-free and it is also possible to order servings free from garlic and onion (무오신채).
Seems like a place where everyone can find something they like!
💚 My personal favorites are the crispy dumplings filled with glass noodles and mushrooms (군만두), the sweet chili soy chicken (소이후라이드-양념) and the crunchy, freshly-made multi-grain waffles (칠곡와플).
Note that it may take a little while until food is served... last time it took more than 30 mins to process orders... But there is Wifi... And you can browse around inside the store... because this location is only partially restaurant / café: There's a large section where they sell vegan snacks, take-home desserts, cooking ingredients, lifestyle products etc!

BEST VEGAN PLACE IN SEOUL - Edit
A little hard to reach, but definitely worth it! The food is unbelievable! The food is so good that it's hard to believe that it's vegan, we tried Bulgogi and soy cutlet and they both were amazing, I am sure that the rest of the menu is amazing, too. Also there is a shop where you can buy Beyond Burger, other soy mock meats, instant ramen noodles, pastries etc.

4/5 - Edit
My partner had the soy meat cutlet which was good. I had chips that actually had salt which is hard to find around here. I also had the soy fried chicken which I didn’t like it didn’t have much flavour and was hard to eat (rubbery), I actually got a sore jaw trying to eat it, it was large portion tho! The store has lots of vegan frozen food you can buy which is nice! The staff were very friendly. I wouldn’t recommend going out of your way to come here but if you are in the area I would😄

Delicious desserts & lots of vegan food for sale! - Edit
The store part of this business have the biggest selection of mock meats I've seen in Seoul - burgers, cutlets, sausages, mock squid and more. There's also vegan cheese and whipping cream. I definitely recommend going there if you want to buy vegan food products 🙂
Read moreIn the restaurant I had the pork cutlet, red bean frappuccino and two types of icecream with chocolate in them (can't remember the exact names). The pork cutlet was nicely fried and crispy but in my opinion the whole dish was a little bit underseasoned. The frappuccino and the ice cream were delicious. Both were sweet and creamy, but the frappuccino was also refreshing since it wasn't super sweet.
Would definitely go there again, either to try some other dish or to have those desserts again!
Pros: Very reasonable prices in the restaurant, Delicious desserts, Nice staff

Awesome spot if you live in Gangnam! - Edit
Lovely spot with a grocery store next to it. The ice cream is super yummy and if you get the sundae you get a cone and whipped cream which reminds me of my non vegan days.
Read moreI personally usually get the soy cutlet and it does not disappoint! The crispy outside really goes well with the sauce and soy meaty interior. I tried the cutlet burger but that was a mistake because it fell apart really easily (maybe I’m just bad at eating burgers?) I also tried the spicy fried chicken which I frankly wasn’t a big fan of because the chicken was mushy if that makes sense- just not a good texture. The fries however are great. I also have tried the strawberry banana smoothie which was nice but I slurped it down too fast haha.
Overall I would recommend this place if you can get there- there’s a bus that will take you pretty close outside of Gangnam exit 5.
Pros: Nice seating options , Amazing vegan ice cream and grocery , Friendly staff

What the heck happened??? - Edit
Loving Hut cafe is still good but what the heck happened? The grocery has WAY less items now...they have stopped selling almost everything I like. Now there is no more soup...the lady said it is seasonal and now it's summer, so no more soup. I ate soup there for the last two summers though. I lvoe soup all year round. I never thought Korea would do "seasonal" no soup summers. Now they have way too many soy meat dishes...bleh.

Pros: Good food, OK grocery shop

Large store with vegan groceries! - Edit
So aside from the many vegan options to eat here (desserts, coffee, and main dishes), they have items you can use at home! Soy curls, vegan cheese, vegan milk, vegan beauty products, etc. It’s hard to find those things here in Seoul so I was pleasantly surprised. I had the mocha Frappuccino which was delicious! I also took home the mocha cake and chocolate cake, by recommendation of staff who was accommodating enough to help when I could not speak korean. She was shy but nice. :)

You can try various meals in vegan style. It definitely deserves 5 stars. If you haven’t tried this place before, I recommend ordering Jjajangmyun and Fried rice together. Ice creams were so-so.

Worth the trek - Edit
It took us a while to get here but it was easy via subway (cafe is a short walk from Maebong station).
Read moreWe got the soy cutlet, Korean “beef” stew, fried “chicken”, a mocha, mocha Frappuccino, choco cream cake and a vanilla ice cream. I wouldn’t order the cake or chicken again (a bit bland and the chicken is too oily for my liking but we had to try it!).. but everything else was sooooo good! I’m so happy to have gotten my ice cream fix especially! I definitely recommend a visit here. I’ll be coming back for more, for sure!
I was pleasantly surprised that there was a vegan store attached so you can also buy packets of vegan cutlets, burgers, steaks, biscuits, sauces, cosmetics etc. They said they could deliver by post too if we wanted!
The staff are really lovely and cheerful. They speak a fair bit of English too.
Overall, we left happy and full :)
Pros: lots of choice , great atmosphere , vegan store attached
Cons: no self-baked goods

Nice experience - Edit
I went to Loving Hut in Gangnam, a 7,000 won cab ride from the Express bus terminal, had bulgoggi jiggae which was spicy, nice veggies and a fair price of 6,500won.
Read moreThe restaurant/cafeteria style had a beautiful assortment of sorbets and an attached store with many products. This would be a great place if I lived near. Apparently a couple other vegan restaurants are nearby per The Happy Cow, also Cheers~
Pros: clean and welcoming, have ice cream, simple and economical menu
Cons: location difficult to find without taxi, store a bit pricier than others, only 3 side dishes
