After wandering around Insadong and trying to escape the heat, we decided to revisit Onion Cafe, a place we used to frequent when the kids were little.

I vividly remember bringing the children here when they were small, and now my eldest is already going to middle school next year!

I remember the first time we came, the kids ran around in the white pebble courtyard. Back then, the pebbles were new, and white dust would get all over their Crocs. Now, with time, that's no longer the case.

After a short wait, we were seated at a table for four. Onion Cafe seems to be very popular with foreigners. I wonder if it's mentioned in travel books?

The interior beautifully showcases the traditional Korean 'Hanok' style.

Here's the menu. Considering the location, the drink prices aren't too bad.

We stopped by to escape the heat before dinner, so we settled on two drinks and two pastries.

The variety of breads made it hard to choose!

We ended up choosing the Salt Bread and the Olive Bacon Bread.

The Olive Bacon bread is quite large. It costs 7,000 won. It's moist, soft, and has a lovely basil aroma.

Happy Time

The Salt Bread isn't overly buttery and is perfect for a light bite.

For drinks, we ordered an Iced Americano and a Chocolate Latte.

Wonderful Photo

While waiting, I snapped a picture of the courtyard. Many people were taking 기념사진 (commemorative photos).

This is the Iced Americano. It's the strong coffee I like! If you prefer it lighter, wait for the ice to melt a little.

Dreamlike Moment

This Chocolate Latte's full name is "This Chocolate Latte is Guaranteed to be the Best" (literal translation). Uniquely, it contains a hint of mint. Real mint-chocolate! If you dislike mint chocolate, choose something else.

Dreamlike Moment

Here's the Salt Bread. The butter hole is smaller than in other places. Personally, I don't like Salt Bread with too much butter, but this one is on the lighter side.

Amazing View

There's always a wait at this cafe. However, the space is large, so you don't have to wait too long. If you want to enjoy 고급진 (high-quality) tea and delicious desserts in a Hanok cafe, give it a try!

Real Korea, Curated for Global Travelers

WassupKorea is a next-generation platform designed for foreigners who want to truly experience Korea — not just as tourists, but as locals. While countless Koreans have shared their daily lives, food experiences, and cultural tips through blogs, videos, and social media, much of this valuable content remains locked behind language barriers. WassupKorea solves this by collecting and curating high-quality local content and making it accessible to global audiences through real-time AI-powered translation. Instead of superficial recommendations, users gain access to authentic, first-hand stories — from hidden street food spots to weekend mountain hikes — written by Koreans for Koreans, now reinterpreted for the world.

AI-Powered Personalization, Translation, and Voice Interaction

What sets WassupKorea apart is its deep integration of artificial intelligence at the core of the platform. AI matches users with personalized content based on their language, nationality, and travel interests. Whether you're looking for vegan Korean food in Jeonju or part-time job tips in Seoul, the platform's smart engine brings the most relevant, timely posts to the forefront. Every piece of content — blog summaries, local guides, user comments — is instantly translated using advanced AI translators. Users can also listen to posts via natural-sounding voice AI in their own language. Real-time voice translation in community chats allows for live conversations between users from different countries. With voice synthesis, AI can even "learn" your voice preferences to create a more natural and immersive experience.

A Living Community Driven by Local Content and Global Connection

WassupKorea is more than just an information portal — it’s an AI-driven community hub that grows smarter as users interact. Travelers and residents alike can share their own content via links from TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube, or directly post on the platform. AI categorizes the content, suggests similar posts, and connects users with shared interests. Foreigners living in Korea can also access essential resources like visa tips, rental guides, job listings, and lifestyle hacks. As more content is generated and more interactions occur, the AI refines its recommendations — creating a dynamic feedback loop that benefits every user. WassupKorea bridges the gap between Korea’s deep local knowledge and the global audience eager to explore it, forming a smart, multilingual, and inclusive platform for everyone curious about life in Korea.
