Mooni Cafe: A Dollhouse-esque Cafe That Will Make You Feel Like Life In Plastic Is Fantastic

Mooni Cafe in Seoul


Mooni Cafe is located in Apgujeong, one of the most happening districts in Seoul. With its bright pastel tones and elaborate architecture, the cafe resembles a dollhouse in the world of Barbie, where everything is dreamy and colourful.

Since Mooni Cafe is both a cafe and a bakery, you can count on them for delicious bakes and pastries for the perfect afternoon tea. 

They specialise in “cronuts”, which is the delightful lovechild of donuts and croissants.

Their strawberry custard cronut (KRW5,500, ~USD4.35) and the blueberry cronuts (KRW5,800, ~USD4.58) are popular choices amongst customers, and they are usually quickly swept off the shelves.
