The last time I visited Seoul, I checked out a new-to-me cafe that’s been around for a few years: Cafe Sudal (수달, “otter”), located in Anguk.

We went shortly after opening so there was only one other group there, which allowed me to get some great interior shots. The cafe is in a modern hanok, with lots of light wood and natural light.

They have a kiosk located at the counter where you order. They offer espresso-based drinks as well as a small selection of hand-drip. I chose a hand-drip (I want to say it was Costa Rica but I’ve forgotten) and the injeolmi toast.

Though I feel like I don’t have a lot to say about this cafe, it was a wonderful experience and I can’t wait to go back. I can definitely see this becoming one of my go-to cafes in Seoul.
