Cafe Beanteum - Seoul

Very lovely place and cosy and calm atmosphere. The vegan bingsu was really really tasty and so were the waffles, I could have it every day. And the matcha latte was one of the best I've had so far. Would've gone with 5 stars if it were 100% vegan. We came on a quiet afternoon and almost had the entire second floor to ourselves, with the exception of a boy reading comic books in one of the reading nooks..

The vegan green tea bingsu was delicious and the atmosphere was very cozy. I went on a cold day but the heating was running inside which was great for eating bingsu. There are lots of mangas to read on the second floor but I didn’t get a chance to look around up there. Definitely want to go back and try other bingsu flavors!

Korean shaved ice is a summer treat and this place does an amazing job making vegan versions. The match bingsu was so good and oreo bingsu was amazing! They also had great coffee with plant milks.. and even decaf espresso drinks. The shop is also a japanese manga reading library on the 2nd floor with plenty of comfy places to sit and read.

One of the best cafés I've ever had in my life. Regarding the menu, there are a variety of vegan Bingsu flavors. My favorite is the green tea, but Oreo is also very good. The coffee and drinks here are all excellent. The waffle is really unique as it is made with really whole pieces of rice. A unique texture and its simply perfectly sweetened with syrup, cinnamon, fresh fruit and cream. The café itself is a huge beautiful Hanok. There are outdoor seating areas, mostly covered by sunlight. Inside, especially on the upper floor, you will find the walls covered with manga. All specimens are in Korean ;;... The owner here is incredibly friendly and a talented barista. He seems to manage it by himself, so if it is overcrowded, it could wait.

Nothing beats bingsu in hot summer days.. They have 6 different vegan bingsu options and I can’t wait to try them all. The cafe is quiet and pretty big, so it is also a good place to study or work.
