When you’re in Seoul and in the vicinity of Ttukseom station, it’s hard to walk past this bakery cafe without noticing its colourful feature wall and long queue. Located just 4 minutes away from the subway station, Seoul Angmusae is an all-in-one bakery cafe where you can dine, shop and even draw.

Remove your pastries from the plate and place them on the tray. Then, be creative and draw away, making sure that the ink is dried before putting your food back and snapping photos of a flatlay that’s truly one of a kind.

Those who are in the mood for an outing instead of eating in at the cafe can purchase a picnic set menu at only KRW24,000 (~USD17.71). The set includes 2 kouign-amann, 1 cinnamon roll and 2 cold brew of your choice. It also comes with complimentary rental of the Seoul Angmusae picnic mat and basket.
