Cafe
Vetiver
베티버 Betibeo Vetiver is a fragrant grass whose root is used as a base note in perfume; one visitor wondered whether the plant by the door was vetiver.

A croffle café on a residential lane by Seongwon Middle School in Seongsu-dong 2-ga, on the ground floor. The signature is a croffle topped with soft milk ice cream and black sesame sauce; eleven of the posts by people who went ordered it. In 2025 posts the sesame croffle was 13,500 won, the ice-cream croffle 12,000 won and the sesame latte 7,000 won; an August 2026 menu shows the sesame croffle at 14,000 won and americano at 5,000 won. You order and pay at the counter and they bring it to your seat. The front was under renovation around October 2024; later posts describe a window bar and tables. We read 30 posts from 11 October 2024 to 24 September 2026: 27 from people who went, one rejected (about a perfume) and two that only mention the place.

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.
What sets it apart
- Seven posts remarked on how many foreign visitors there were — one counted Chinese, Japanese and Thai tables all around, another said there were more foreigners than Koreans. One post guessed that is why staff show menu photos on a tablet; a July 2026 post found it too noisy to come back.
- It is small: six posts said it is not roomy and one said it was fairly spacious. Posts counted about five tables, or about seven two-seat tables plus a bar facing the window; a January 2025 post counted four window bar seats.
- Five posts mention outdoor seats. One June 2025 post sat outside after rain and did not recommend it — they swatted more than ten mosquitoes.
- Five posts were repeat visits — 'more than five times', 'about four times', 'my third time'. The January 2025 post was glad there was no time limit on seats.

Two posts said the café has no parking of its own; the 'no parking' lines in other posts are copied info. The two posts that drove parked at the Seongsu 2-ga 3-dong public lot and at the Halla Sigma Valley 2 lot, three minutes' walk away.

Where it is
We could not find this shop’s own listing on Naver Map, so the link searches for its Korean name around this spot instead.
From the station
0 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
| Second floor | yes 0 · no 1 (of 23 posts read) |
|---|---|
| In a basement | yes 0 · no 1 (of 23 posts read) |
| Toilet inside | yes 0 · no 1 (of 23 posts read) |
One post said the café occupies the ground floor of a house, and another that seating is on the ground floor only. No post mentions a basement or upstairs.
Nobody wrote about a step at the door or getting in with a wheelchair or stroller. That means nobody mentioned it, not that there is none.
Only one post mentions the toilet, saying it is outside the shop. Nobody said whether it is separated by gender.
No one mentioned: Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · 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.

Posts that followed a TV spot
Of the 25 posts we gathered, 2 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.
We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

What we do not know
- Waits are mixed: two posts queued, two walked straight in (a weekday right at 10am opening in August 2026, a Sunday at 4pm in June 2026), and one waited long the first time but not on a weekday return. A summer 2024 post that queued outside says the owner brought out iced water. The name-on-a-list system was described by a post that did not itself wait.
- Several posts copy a distance of 745 m or 753 m from Seongsu Station exit 3, and one says 10–15 minutes on foot. Two posts said it is awkward to reach from the station. Nobody wrote about taking a bus.
- Of ten posts that say who they went with, eight went with friends; one went with a cousin and one only mentions driving. No post went alone or with children.
- Pet-friendliness appears only in copied info blocks and remarks like 'you can bring your dog'; no post actually brought a pet.
- Opening hours changed. Two October 2024 posts give 11am–10pm; posts from April 2025 on give 10am opening, closing at 9pm Sunday–Thursday and 10pm Friday–Saturday. Last orders are given as 8pm in four posts and 8:30pm in six. One January 2025 post says 9am opening, one February 2026 post says 11am daily, and one June 2025 post says Wednesdays open at 11am. Two posts say it is open every day of the year.
- Prices have crept up. Americano was 4,800 won in April–May 2025 posts and 5,000 won from November 2025. The sesame and olive-oil croffles were 13,500 won in 2025; one August 2026 post shows 14,000 won, and that is the only post with the new price. Two posts called the croffles on the pricey side.
- Nine posts give the same phone number, 0507-1340-4079. Nobody wrote about whether it takes reservations.
