[2025 Seoul Restaurant] Travel Guide for Osulloc Tea House Bukchon (Updated Jan)

A renowned cafe from South Korea, directly from Jeju Island, known for its high-quality matcha, Osulloc Cafe Bukchon branch. Today, we visited the branch near Gyeongbokgung Palace, Anguk branch. It's about a 500-meter walk from the palace, not too far. You have to walk up a few steps to find the garden. The building is divided into three floors: the first floor is a tea and souvenir shop, while the second and third floors are the cafe area with seating. The atmosphere here is very relaxing, and you can smell the organic green tea grown on Jeju Island. The desserts are also quite remarkable. They use green tea as the main ingredient. If you are a green tea lover and happen to be in the area, don't miss out. Today, we ordered iced green tea and green tea ice cream waffle.
