LOAF HOUSE
Loaf House Cafe near Hapjeong Station
The day I visited, the afternoon sunlight streamed gently through the windows. I still remember the scones and coffee I had there, surrounded by LOAF HOUSE's unique calm and warm atmosphere.
The view from the window was so pretty; just sitting there blankly was healing.
I'm going to visit often before it gets too famous.

Atmosphere & Interior
Hapjeong Station Cafe
LOAF HOUSE has a subtly cozy and sophisticated atmosphere, even though it's not flashy.
The overall combination of wooden furniture and warm lighting creates a calm vibe.
The cafe is large with high ceilings and plenty of seating, so I was worried the sound would echo, but it was very quiet.
It's a large cafe where you can stay calmly, which was even better.
The window seats are especially highly recommended! The view of the greenery outside is so pretty that you can relax just by sitting there.
When I went, it was at a time when sunlight was seeping through the trees, and even the shadows looked like works of art.
This is exactly the kind of hidden gem I want to keep to myself! It's a beautiful view and space that you can only experience at Loaf.

A Cafe Near Hapjeong Station That's Serious About Scones
If you go to LOAF HOUSE, you must try the scones.
This place doesn't just bake scones, they create them with the philosophy of capturing a day's worth of relaxation in a single scone.
I'm not really a scone person, but I really enjoyed the scones at LOAF HOUSE.
The outside is crispy and the inside is moist, with solid basics and lively details.
Corn Cheese Scone 3.8
Plain Butter 3.3
Pine Coco Crumble 3.8
Walnut 4.3
When I went, some of the scones were already sold out.
Be sure to go early and order your scones first.
Scones can also be packaged, so I bought them myself and gave them to a friend instead of a birthday cake.
You can select your menu and pay at the small kiosk next to the menu board.
You get a whopping 20% points back!
If you are eating your scones in the store, they will also heat them up for you.
Have them warmed, they taste much better.
LOAF HOUSE Menu Honest Review
There were so many kinds of scones, I was wondering what to choose.
I ordered the corn cheese scone and the plain scone! And the Loaf Speuvener and matcha latte.
Loaf Speuvener 6.5
LOAF HOUSE's best and recommended menu item, the Loaf Speuvener,
is actually a signature menu that many other cafes try, so I wondered what would be different?
The Loaf House Speuvener is definitely different.
You'll feel it right away when you taste it.
The cream on top isn't too heavy and melts softly, mixing well with the rich coffee.
When you take a sip, the sweetness of the cream and the bitterness of the espresso alternate in your mouth, and there's a subtle nutty flavor.
It's really addictive.
The cream is also beautifully presented when you take pictures, so the visuals are perfect! ✨
It was so delicious that I exclaimed out loud, and it's a menu I'll definitely order again next time.
Matcha Latte 6.0
The green color of the matcha latte went so well with the view from LOAF HOUSE's window.
I was worried it would be too sweet, but the sweetness was subtle, and the rich, nutty flavor of the matcha came first, which I liked even more.
The bitter matcha scent spreads, followed by the smoothness of the milk, which is surprisingly refreshing and goes well with scones.
LOAF HOUSE Scones
Plain / Corn Cheese
The basic of the basics, plain scone!
It's a really well-made scone.
Crispy on the outside, moist on the inside.
It's savory and nutty even on its own, but it's a great combination with coffee.
There's a reason why it's called one of the best scone restaurants in Seoul.
In fact, the star of the day was the corn cheese scone.
Crispy on the outside and the combination of corn and cheese inside is fantastic!
When you take a bite while it's warm, the savory flavor of the cheese is doubled, followed by the sweetness of the corn, and it's like they've moved corn cheese straight into a scone.
I usually think scones are just dry, but here the moist and fluffy texture remains, making it fun to eat.
Personally, the corn cheese scone was my number one pick among the menu items I ate that day.
Overall Review
If you're looking for a cafe near Hapjeong Station, I can confidently recommend LOAF HOUSE.
But I really wish it wouldn't become famous.... That's my real wish.
I'm already 200% sure I'll visit again.
I want to go alone... hehe.
