A Visit to Burnt Seoul: A Large Cafe with Cheonggyecheon Views


Hello, it's Hongsi Noona!
Today, I visited 'Burnt Seoul,' a cafe located near my younger sibling's academy!
It's a large cafe right in front of Cheonggyecheon Stream, with a spacious interior spanning three floors.

Menu
The drink menu is as shown in the pictures above.
The prices are a bit higher than average cafes.
Still, considering the prices in Euljiro, maybe it's just average? Hehe.
Besides drinks, they also have bakery items on the first floor. Since I went around 4 PM, there weren't many bread options left.
I heard that the bread comes out around 9-10 AM, so if you're interested in the bakery, visiting around that time would be ideal.
My hungry sibling and I chose the basil tomato bread and the salted pretzel bread from the remaining options.
They warmed the bread for us, so we could enjoy it warm!

So, what did we order and how much did it cost?
Pistachio Cream Latte (₩8,000) + Strawberry Latte (₩8,000) + Basil Tomato Bread (₩6,200) + Salted Pretzel Bread (₩4,800) = ₩27,000 in total.
Orders are prepared quickly on the first floor, so you can wait briefly and take your items to your seat.
While waiting for our order, I looked around the first floor and saw the cafe's merchandise.
They had phone grips, mugs, and caps. It was fun to browse while waiting.
Now, once your drinks are ready, you can head to your seat.
Since the cafe has three floors, there are quite a few stairs.
Be careful carrying your drinks!
(I wish I didn't have to learn this the hard way)
We went up to the third floor, which has a large table.
The high ceilings made the view from the windows even more beautiful.
The unobstructed view of Cheonggyecheon Stream through the large windows was perfect.
Sitting by the window with a cup of coffee would be great for watching the sunset.

As expected from a large cafe, there were plenty of seats!
It was very spacious on a weekday.
There were also many different types of seating.
They even had comfortable sofa seats, which was great!
(As someone who dislikes uncomfortable chairs in cafes)
Since I needed to use my laptop, outlets were very important to me.
There weren't a lot of seats with outlets.
But there were about two places per floor where you could plug in, so I sat in a corner seat and used one. Hehe.

Of course, there was also Wi-Fi.
Each floor also had an oven for warming up bread!
Additionally, the restrooms were clean and nice.
In conclusion, what is Hongsi Noona's rating for Burnt Seoul?!
Drum roll...
8 out of 10 ????
The price was slightly disappointing. Hehe.
And if your purpose is to study with your laptop and you need outlets, it might be difficult.
Still, overall, it was good, so I recommend Burnt Seoul!!
