Bakery Cafe

A Wood-Fired Legend in an Industrial Setting 

Housed in a stunningly converted warehouse, Kokkiri Bagel is where rustic tradition meets Seongsu’s industrial charm. Unlike traditional boiled bagels, these are baked in a massive oakwood fire oven, giving them an incomparable chewiness and a hint of smoky flavor. The spacious, high-ceilinged interior makes it a perfect spot to enjoy a 'K-Bagel' while soaking in the local architectural vibe

💡Judy’s Secret: "This is one of the most popular spots in Seoul! To get the best selection, I recommend heading there early in the morning. Their 'Butter Salt Bagel' is my absolute favorite—try it with a hot latte for the perfect Seongsu breakfast. Also, keep an eye on the wood-fire oven inside; it’s a beautiful sight to watch the bakers at work!"

Restaurant(Japanese)

"Refined Japanese Comfort"

In a neighborhood known for its bold industrial transformations, Oneul-dong stands out with its calm, minimalist approach to Japanese cuisine. This boutique eatery specializes in Donburi—beautifully composed rice bowls that are as visually pleasing as they are delicious.

For our guests who appreciate clean lines and pure flavors, Oneul-dong is a must. From their crispy, golden Tendon (tempura) to their fresh, melt-in-your-mouth Sakedong (salmon), every bowl is a study in culinary balance. The quiet, modern interior provides a peaceful sanctuary for a high-quality local lunch.
