If you’re looking for a cozy spot to enjoy Korean delicacies, Jeokdang (Myeongdong, Seoul) is a must-visit. Located just in front of Euljiro 1-ga Station Exit 1-1, this charming cafe is tucked away on the ground floor of a building.

To find it, head toward what looks like the main entrance of the building and ask the guard for directions to the cafe, you’ll be guided to this hidden gem in no time.

The exterior of Jeokdang is simple yet inviting, but the real magic happens inside. The cafe is beautifully decorated, with an ambiance that feels warm and intimate. It’s the perfect place to enjoy traditional Korean desserts, especially in the evening when the lighting creates a magical atmosphere.

One thing I loved about Jeokdang was the attention to detail in its interior design. The lighting was particularly beautiful, giving the space a serene and thoughtful vibe.

That said, the seats didn’t look particularly comfortable, but the atmosphere more than made up for it.

Near the cashier, there’s an extended bar table, which adds to the sleek, minimalist design of the space.

Jeokdang is known for its Yanggaeng, a traditional Korean dessert made of sweetened red bean paste. They offer 10 varieties of Yanggaeng, along with a wide range of drinks and other desserts.

The beautifully packaged gift sets are perfect for sharing with friends or giving as a thoughtful present.

You can also purchase elegant teacup sets from the store to recreate the experience at home.

 

Monaca  3,500

This dessert has two delicious layers, red beans at the bottom and creamy vanilla ice cream on top. It’s the perfect mix of textures and flavors.

 

Milk tea  7,000

 

Black sugar yanggaeng / Chestnut yanggaeng 

Chestnut yanggaeng is a must-try. If it’s your first time, I’d suggest starting with the original chestnut flavor for the best experience.

Jeokdang truly shines in the evening. The combination of soft lighting and a calm atmosphere makes it the perfect spot to unwind with friends over delicious Korean treats.

Whether it’s your first time trying Yanggaeng or you’re looking for a relaxing cafe in Euljiro, Jeokdang offers an authentic and memorable experience.
