Mellowz

멜로우즈 Melloujeu Mellowz plays on the English word 'mellow' (soft, smooth, relaxed); no post explains the name further.

Data as of · Published ·

Mellowz is a soft-serve and coffee shop in a red-brick building on a Seongsu side street near exit 7 of Ttukseom Station, turning into a cocktail bar in the evening. It serves one milk soft-serve in a cup with different toppings: plain milk ₩3,500; matcha, peanut butter, deep chocolate or affogato ₩4,000; strawberry, mango or peach ₩4,500. An americano is ₩2,500. The room is small and there is terrace seating out front. We read 30 posts dated 20 August to 1 October 2026; one was about a different shop (Hogwadang) and was set aside. All 29 remaining posts describe an actual visit.

Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.

These hours are counted from the posts we read. Shops change them without notice — check Naver Place before you go. Place — check hours

What sets it apart

  1. The terrace out front is the draw. 23 posts mention the outdoor seats, and some found them full — often by around 9 p.m. in one account, and with a single table left just after 1 p.m. on a weekday in another. Counts of outdoor tables vary: two, three or four, five.
  2. Inside is small — 14 posts say so. Descriptions of the indoor seating differ: two tables plus bar seats; room for about four groups of two or three; five tables; full with six people. Several writers sat at the window bar.
  3. 18 posts call it cheap and none call it expensive. With an americano at ₩2,500, a latte at ₩3,200 and plain soft-serve at ₩3,500, one writer said they looked twice, thinking they had misread the price board.
  4. Four posts from late-evening visits say something came free with their order: biscuits in two cases, cherry tomatoes and Shine Muscat grapes in another, and green grapes, tomatoes and string cheese in the fourth.
  5. 11 posts say the owner and staff were kind, with specifics: a blanket brought to the table, a café order accepted just before the 8 p.m. switch to the bar menu, hot drinks double-cupped so they would not burn.
  6. It is a walk from Ttukseom Station. Six posts describe the route: out of exit 7 and into the alley by the GS25, or about ten minutes from Seongsu Station, or on foot from Seoul Forest Station. One post said exit 8.

There is no parking — eight posts say so. The one writer who drove parked at the nearby Noudit Seoul Forest and walked over.

Getting there

Map showing where Mellowz is

Getting inside

In a basementyes 0 · no 1 (of 28 posts read)

It is at street level — one post says it is on the ground floor of the brick building. Nobody mentions stairs.

None of the 29 posts says whether there is a step at the door or whether a wheelchair or stroller can get in. That means we don't know, not that there is no access.

No post mentions the toilet — whether it is inside or whether it is separated by gender.

No one mentioned: Second floor · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Toilet inside · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

What we do not know

  • Opening hours appear to have changed between late August and early September. Posts from 20–27 August list Sunday hours of 11:00–19:00 and no regular closing day; the 11 posts from 3 September on that give hours all say closed Sundays. The September posts give Monday 07:00–20:00 (four posts; one says 22:00), Tuesday–Friday 07:00–01:00, Saturday 11:00–01:00 (six posts; one says 19:00). Most of this is copied from the Naver listing, and we did not count the August hours.
  • The evening bar is new as of August. A 20 August post gives weekday hours of 07:00–20:00 and weekend 11:00–19:00, and posts from 24 August and 29 September both say the owner had only just started the evening trade. That the menu switches at 8 p.m. and fruit cups become hard to get then is hearsay, so we did not count it.
  • No post describes queuing. Some found the terrace full, and one suggested avoiding the lunch peak if you want to sit.
  • Company is spread out: with a spouse or partner in four posts, family in three (one with a child), friends in three, a larger group in two, alone in one.
  • Prices were reported the same from August through 1 October; one post put the peach cup at ₩4,000. Evening drink prices (₩6,500 highball to ₩18,000 for a glass of Balvenie 12) come from a single post that dates them to August 2026.
  • Eleven posts give the phone number as 0507-1363-4917; one gives a different number. Nobody says whether bookings are taken.
  • The same promotional sentences recur across posts — 'special premium beans', 'not an artificial taste but the deep flavour of milk itself', 'distinctive toppings and stylish plating'. One post quotes them as the owner's own introduction; others repeat them without saying so. Only one post discloses a hosted visit. 'Sangha Farm organic milk' is the shop's own claim, so we did not count it as evidence.
