IS IT WORTH VISITING THESE POPULAR CAFES IN SEOUL?
☕️TEDDY’S OVEN
⭐️Ratings : 10/10
Let’s start with my absolute favourite cafe on this list. A definite MUST GO. Everything was in theme down to their super cute cutleries and tray - kinda french and paris vibe. Literal picture worthy every where. They had a wide selection of pastries laid out along the counter for you to pick and choose. Taste? 10/10 ahhh it’s actually rly so good i miss it so much as i’m typing this ☹️☹️Oh oh, not to mention there are cute blankets for you to cover if you’re cold and fortune cards!!
Just a disclaimer: My friend said she had to queue during peak period so be sure to accommodate some extra time!
☕️CAFE KNOTTED
⭐️Ratings : 7/10
I was pretty disappointed in this as it was really popular so i had high expectations. We ordered their famous donut with filling and it was #Notforme . The taste was underwhelming. Maybe it’s just the flavour i ordered - a lot of the flavours were oos so i didn’t choose something i wanted. However, plus points bc the whole store and the takeaway box were very cute! The cafe also had cute stickers and drawing paper at the corner for you to do some colouring ~ There were still a lot of people queuing so it might just be me that didn’t find it very nice HAHAHAH
☕️CAFE LAYERED
⭐️Ratings : 8/10
The cafe had a lovely interior and cosy interior. The pastries were also laid out on the table counter which created a very aesthetic look. However, the branch we went was pretty cramped and stuffy inside. Couldn’t comment on this much as we were pretty full so we only grab a scone to go. Taste wise, it was a decent scone with a kinda soft texture and not too crumbly!
☕️SULBING
⭐️RATINGS : 6/10
There’s a variety of bingsu flavour for you to choose from and we went with the good old injeolmi. Sad to say, it wasn’t as good as expected - the presentation didn’t look appetising and it was really dry. IMO, sg Nunsaram is better 🫣 Plus, the staff that serve us was kinda rude and had spilled the powder all over the tray but didn’t even bother cleaning up LOL🫠. Again, it might be bc we ordered the wrong bingsu and had a bad staff…. but yeah overall experience and bingsu wasn’t that good here.
P.S Everything is just my personal preferences and based on what i ordered so you can decide whether these are a hit or miss!🤍

While exploring Seoul’s vibrant cafe scene, I realized that new cafes constantly pop up, offering unique drinks and atmospheric vibes. If you’re interested in the newest cafes in Singapore, a similar method of honest personal reviews helps navigate choices. When visiting popular cafes like Teddy’s Oven, booking extra time is wise because queues form quickly, especially during peak hours. In my experience, the newest cafes often focus on aesthetics and innovative menus, but the quality can vary. Trying seasonal drinks or limited-time specials recommended by locals can enhance the visit. Moreover, paying attention to small touches, such as themed cutlery or interactive elements like fortune cards, adds charm to the overall experience—something I adored at Teddy’s Oven. For those seeking cafes with cozy interiors but less crowded spaces, exploring less-known branches or cafes nearby might offer a better atmosphere. Also, don’t hesitate to ask staff for recommendations on flavors or best-sellers to avoid picks that might not suit your palate, like my not-so-favorite donut at Cafe Knotted. Overall, combining personal taste preferences with practical tips on timing and cafe features can maximize your enjoyment whether you're visiting Seoul or hunting down the newest cafe openings elsewhere.
