Compiled from 28 blog posts read in fullSources →
A macaron café on two floors of a corner building at Donggyo-ro 269, Yeonnam-dong, Seoul. You pick macarons, levain cookies or cake from the ground-floor case, order a drink, and sit upstairs or down. Macarons are 3,500 won each whatever the flavour; drinks run from a 5,000-won americano to 6,000-8,000-won euglena drinks. The 'euglena' on the menu is a microalgae ingredient, and two posts say the café is run by the company that produces it. We read 30 posts dated 29 June to 8 October 2026; 28 of them describe actually going.

The values differ, but the periods they were written in do not overlap. This looks like a change over time rather than a disagreement, and the top row is the most recently reported. We did not confirm it with the restaurant.
What sets it apart
- Seven posts call it quiet, several singling out the upper floor as calmer than the ground floor and good for long conversations.
- Thirteen posts describe a curtained or glass-walled meeting room upstairs. One gave the rate as 5,000 won per person per hour, minimum two hours and four people; another said the 5,000 won counts toward a drink. Some posts visited while the café was decorated for a fan birthday event.
- Nine posts mention an instant photo machine on the ground floor, some printing receipt-style strips, and several took a picture. Many also note a tester corner for the parent company's cosmetics.
- Eight posts went with friends; one went on a date. Several said it would suit working alone, but no post says the writer went alone.

The 'four spaces in the building', 'one free hour per 10,000 won' and the nearby public lot are mostly copied from the listing. Only one post saw the four spaces beside the café itself, and none says they actually parked.

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
5 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
| Second floor | 25 of 28 posts |
|---|---|
| Lift to the floor | 5 of 28 posts |
| Toilet inside | 10 of 28 posts |
| Separate restrooms | 8 of 28 posts |
Twenty-five posts note that the café uses both floors. The ground floor holds the counter and green sofas; upstairs is mostly white tables and window seats, and some posts saw plenty of people working on laptops there.
No post mentions a basement; every post talks only about the ground and first floors.
Five posts mention a lift to the first floor. Orders are collected at the ground-floor counter when the buzzer goes, and one post noted the lift makes carrying a tray upstairs easy.
No post says anything about a step, ramp, or getting in with a wheelchair or pushchair — that means we don't know, not that there's no issue. One post only mentions an automatic door.
Ten posts say the toilets are inside the café, and every post that gave a location put them upstairs; one noted tissue and hand towels and found them clean.
Eight posts say there are separate men's and women's toilets; one described them as single-occupancy rooms.
No one mentioned: In a basement · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Accessible toilet. 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 30 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
- No post describes queueing. One writer found the place empty; nobody reported on busy hours, so we don't know about waits.
- Opening hours differ by period. Fourteen posts from 14 September 2026 on give daily 11:00-23:00, last order 22:00. Earlier posts gave 11:00-22:30 (two posts) or 10:00-22:00 (five, apparently copied from the listing), and two later posts still say 22:30. Two posts say there is no regular closing day.
- No post calls it expensive; two call the prices fair. Discounts come up often — a 4,000-won americano promotion, a Liberation Day macaron discount, a 1,000-won Naver coupon, free macaron shells for a review. Two drinks and three macarons come to a little over 20,000 won.
- Fourteen posts give the phone number as 0507-1360-2319; one gives a different number. The meeting room and private hire need booking, but no post tried reserving an ordinary table.
- One post went up with a sponsored-visit brief still in it: two drinks and three macarons, one euglena drink and two euglena macarons required, no Saturdays. Eleven posts ordered exactly that combination, with similar wording and hashtags, yet none disclose sponsorship; only one says the writer paid. Read the praise for the food with that in mind.
