Just a 10-minute walk from Anguk Station, the London Bagel Museum (Samcheong, Seoul) offers a refreshing contrast to the traditionally Korean atmosphere of nearby Samcheong-dong, Anguk-dong, and Gyeongbokgung Palace. This spot feels distinctly British, from its vibe to its offerings, making it a unique find in the area.

My sister arrived first and put our name on the waiting list, so we didn’t wait as long as we’d expected. The bright sunshine, great company, and warm greeting from the staff made for a fantastic start to the day.

The cafe has seating right in front of the door, but as I walked in, I was pleasantly surprised by how spacious it was inside. There were plenty of seats, and the cozy yet vibrant atmosphere set the tone for a relaxed dining experience.

The variety of bagels was almost overwhelming, it was so hard to pick just one!

Eventually, we decided on a potato cheese bagel and a jumbo shrimp sandwich bagel.

 

The cream cheese selection was just as impressive. While I’m usually a fan of plain flavors, it’s worth trying a bagel without any spreads to savor the authentic taste.

Near the counter, you can grab your cutlery, condiments, and napkins, so be sure to bring those along when you order.

Jumbo shrimp sandwich bagel

The freshness of the ingredients was the first thing that stood out. The bacon was especially noteworthy—it was more savory, soft, and flavorful than I’m used to. The bagel itself was incredibly fluffy, and despite our long conversation over the meal, it stayed soft throughout. If you visit, you must try a sandwich bagel!

 

Potato cheese bagel

This bagel was the perfect mix of savory and cheesy. The creamy cheese paired beautifully with the hearty, flavorful potatoes.

 

Mushroom soup

I’d heard great things about the mushroom soup, so I decided to try it and it didn’t disappoint. The flavor was rich and comforting, and it’s clear why it’s such a favorite among adults. Pro tip: dip a cheese bagel into the soup. The bagel softens, and the flavors blend together in the most delightful way.

​

From the variety of bagels to the warm, British-inspired atmosphere, it’s a treat for both the taste buds and the soul.
