On a beautiful autumn day, my friend Sujin and I planned a farewell outing to the Yongsan area. Since this was my last company-related gathering, we wanted to make it special.

We met at Yongsan Station (Exit 1) and headed straight to Batong, a popular brunch café Sujin had found after researching over ten places! Since this one allowed online reservations, I booked a table right away.

 

1. Batong

Address : 33 Hangang-daero 15-gil, Yongsan-gu, Seoul OPEN GOOGLE MAP

Operation Hours : Monday-Sunday : 10:00 - 18:00

Although it was midday on a weekday, the café was so crowded that I couldn’t take any interior shots.

We ordered a Baton club sandwich (which appears to be the main menu) for 15,000 won; Soup of the Day for 8,000 won; and a Popover pancake for 18,900 won. 

 

Today's soup  8,000  /  Baton club sandwich 15,000

The sandwich came in two halves, and the crispy bread served with the soup was incredibly tasty. The tomato soup was just as good as I had hoped.

 

Popover Pancake  18,900

The popover pancake looked unfamiliar at first, but as soon as I took a bite, I realized I had tasted something similar before. The salty jamón (ham) paired perfectly with the sweet, fluffy pancake, absolutely delicious!

 

 

2. Cafe TRVR

Address : 45 Hoenamu-ro 44ga-gil, Yongsan-gu, Seoul OPEN GOOGLE MAP

Operation Hours : Monday-Sunday : 09:00 - 20:30

The nearby cafés were too crowded, so we took a taxi to a place I had been meaning to visit, TRVR Café in Itaewon.

Though the café was dimly lit, it had a calm, cozy ambiance, making it a perfect place to take a break.

Natural light poured in through a lovely window, creating a warm and relaxing atmosphere.

 

 

3. Comfort Seoul

Address : 358-144 Huam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul OPEN GOOGLE MAP

Operation Hours : Tuesday-Sunday : 11:00 - 20:00

Next, we headed to Comfort Seoul, a multi-purpose cultural space combining a café, exhibition area, and an editorial shop with a huge variety of products.

Plenty of adorable accessories like hats, keychains, and dolls were on display.

 

 

4. Monoha hannam

Address : 36 Dokseodang-ro, Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul OPEN GOOGLE MAP

Operation Hours : Tuesday-Sunday : 11:00 - 19:30

Our next stop was an art gallery and editorial shop in Hannam-dong, featuring beautifully curated items arranged by color.

 

 

5. Tutti Hannam

Address : 27 Daesagwan-ro 24-gil, Yongsan-gu, Seoul OPEN GOOGLE MAP

Operation Hours : Monday - Friday : 09:00 - 21:00, Saturday : 10:00 - 20:00 (Sunday closed)

Instead of more coffee, we ordered a Petit Orange and some sweets to share.

From Yongsan to Hannam-dong, we ended up walking way more than expected. By the time I got home, I was completely exhausted!

Despite that, it was a memorable farewell outing, filled with great food, beautiful spaces, and relaxing moments.
