Discovering a Hidden Gem: Nerdy Blue Burrow, a Trendy Cafe in Wangsimni


Hello, I'm Agada, your friendly neighborhood food blogger!
I stumbled upon a Wangsimni cafe tucked away in the back alleys of Haengdang-dong, and it's got a vibe that's just overflowing with *'gaemseong'* (Korean for 'emotional sensibility' or 'trendy aesthetic')!
When I think of Wangsimni cafes, I usually picture the cafe street near Hanyang University, close to Wangsimni Station. But venturing to the opposite side, towards Haengdang-dong, revealed this incredibly charming little alley.

I adore the slightly-stretchy, teal-blue color scheme, the illustrations...
...and the sunset atmosphere is absolutely amazing!
From the entrance to every little nook and cranny, there's not a single detail I dislike. The seemingly effortless, yet carefully crafted, handmade touches just welcomed me right in.
If you're looking to spend some time soaking in a *'gaemseong'* atmosphere in Wangsimni, then 'Nerdy Blue Burrow' is a must-visit cafe!

Can't you already feel the vibe just from this photo of the menu? 😉
We visited on a weekend evening as the sun was setting. Thanks to the dim lighting and warm lamps, the entire space felt like a scene from a movie. ✨
There were many couples, all quietly whispering and enjoying their time. It's rare to find a Wangsimni cafe with such a unique atmosphere.
Even the ordering counter has a certain *'neukkim'* (Korean slang for 'feeling' or 'vibe')! 😉

Here's a peek at the Nerdy Blue Burrow menu!
After much deliberation, we ordered the banana pudding, the fresh cheesecake, a cold brew, and a Nerdy Milk.
After ordering, I snapped some photos while avoiding other guests, and I must say, every corner is just gorgeous, right?

Don't miss out on checking out the walls filled with memos left by previous visitors! It's a fun way to experience the vibe of this Haengdang-dong Wangsimni cafe.
As we were leaving, I spotted this sofa seating area that I wanted to try out next time. Couples tend to snag this spot early, so if it's open, grab it quickly! LOL
Rumor has it, I also wanted to sit here! ㅋㅋㅋ
After exploring every corner of the cafe, our order finally arrived with a *'jjan!'* (a sound effect similar to 'ta-da!').
The photos of the menu are filled with emotions, and I just had to snap a bunch of them.

Also, Nerdy Blue Burrow operates a 'Membership Friends' program!
Becoming a 'Friend' gets you a free cold brew every month!
You can also receive a lifetime free size upgrade!!
If you live near Wangsimni or are a Hanyang University student, this is a must!
Alright, let's dig into the food!
First up, the Nerdy Milk was a sweet and creamy iced milk chocolate drink.
The soft cream was so delicious, it really made me think that Nerdy Blue Burrow is a cream master. And the other desserts too!
And, the cheese cake is finally here!!
There are probably many cheesecake places in Wangsimni, but the richness of the Basque cheesecake was quite nice.
It's a perfect match with the cold brew, so I recommend enjoying them together.

And finally, the signature menu of Wangsimni Cafe is here. The banana pudding is finally here!
These cost 9,900 won for a set, so I was even happier that I could try both.
There is also chocolate pudding, so I want to try it next time.
So this menu combination was successful with sweet cream.
If you don't like sweets, I recommend cheesecake rather than pudding.
Located a 3-minute walk from Wangsimni Station Exit 9, hidden in a quiet alley,
This Wangsimni Station Cafe Nerdy Blue Burrow is worth a visit with its vibrant atmosphere and delicious dessert menu.
I want to know the relationship between the original Nerdy Blue Cafe.
Parking at Nerdy Blue Burrow seems a bit difficult.
It is closest to Wangsimni Station Exit 9.
If you need parking, you can park at the nearby Sowol Art Hall at the level of a public parking lot.
Please note that there are not always many spaces.
