Mooni Apgujeong
If you’re wandering the chic streets of Apgujeong in the Gangnam District of Seoul, make sure to carve out some time for an enchanting stop at Mooni Apgujeong. This cafe is not just a place to grab a drink or a bite; it’s an experience that marries aesthetic appeal with culinary finesse.
From the moment you step inside Mooni, you're greeted by a beautifully designed interior that feels both cozy and upscale. The multi-level space is adorned with carefully curated decor that invites you to explore its charming nooks and crannies. Whether you’re looking for a quiet spot to work or a vibrant area to chat with friends, this cafe offers something for everyone.
The menu might be on the pricier side – with items like tea reaching around $11 – but the quality and presentation of their offerings make it worthwhile. As Chris Fountas aptly describes, the croissants at Mooni are "hands down the best I’ve had," putting many local bakeries to shame. Try them fresh, flaky, and begging to be paired with your choice of drink.
Those with a sweet tooth will revel in their dessert selection. The red velvet cake, particularly noted by Blezie Lobigo, is regarded as possibly the best in Seoul, thanks to its luxurious mascarpone cream that elevates it to new heights. Customers rave about the chocolate shakes and matcha lemonade, with their delightful balance of flavors and generous portions paving the way for an indulgent afternoon snack or a sweet treat post-shopping.
Even if you visit during a quieter weekday lunch, as Lia shared, the inviting service and quick delivery of drinks still create a welcoming atmosphere. Just imagine nibbling on a light fig pie or sweet potato pastry while sipping from your perfectly brewed coffee — it’s a warm embrace in culinary form.
Though you might find it more crowded during peak hours, the bustling vibe adds to Mooni’s charm, particularly if you're someone who enjoys the camera click of fellow patrons capturing their memories in such a picturesque backdrop. As Sumit Schitoll mentioned, it may be "the most photographed cafe in Seoul," and with the holiday decorations, it is simply magical.
Whether you are planning a cute date, a cozy catch-up with friends, or simply need a tranquil break from the vibrant Apgujeong scene, Mooni Apgujeong is a gem that expertly combines atmosphere, beauty, and delightful flavors. Don’t miss your chance to experience this local favorite for yourself!
