Dairy-Free Seoul Top Picks

Katy's Dairy-Free Recs in Seoul

Hi! I’m Katy, and I recently traveled to Seoul, South Korea! I found safe spots to eat while managing my dairy allergy and shared them on the Spokin app—all of my Seoul finds are also featured in this guide. My favorite place in Seoul is Leedorim with amazing vegan pastries and an immersive experience. I really enjoyed the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, cafe hopping, and the Myeongdong Night Market, clearly I like to eat! Follow me on Spokin @floatingr0ck to see my allergy-friendly reviews and on Instagram @floatingr0ckfoodie and TikTok @floatingr0ckfoodie!

For Four Bread

Location: Gangnam-gu, South Korea

“100% vegan (& gluten-free options) bakery clearly labeled.

I thought the pastries were a bit dry, and the staff was kind of rude. They don’t let you eat inside (they have tables), and it’s not common practice to eat on the go.

My favorite was the Earl Grey Madeline, would skip the green tea cookie.”

 

LEEDORIM Coffee & Vegan Bakery Gyeongbokgung Cafe

Location: Jongno District, South Korea

My number 1 recommendation in Seoul!

They had so many vegan pastries, clearly marked, and separate from the normal pastries, so it was easy to tell what is dairy-free.

The pastries and coffee were delish! The space was insane. There’s a literal rock with running water in the middle.

Need to go if you’re in Seoul!

Myeongdong Night Market

Location: Jung District, South Korea

“Ho Tteok (Korean pancakes) are clearly labeled dairy-free!”

Analog Garden

Location: Mapo-gu, South Korea

“Menu was clearly labeled, and the staff was helpful in modifying the dishes to make the toast dairy-free!

Solid meal!”

Offer Bakery Cafe

Location: Mapo-gu, South Korea

“All pastries had dairy in them, but the coffee was really good!”

Veganique

Location: Seodaemun-gu, South Korea

“Not the most aesthetic space compared to others in Seoul, but some of the best pastries I’ve ever eaten. I think the peanut butter brownie is the best dessert I’ve ever had.

100% vegan, so I knew everything was dairy-free!”

Veganature

Location: Songpa District, South Korea

“Loved the donuts. They’re made with rice flour, so it’s giving mochinut!”

Nuldam Space – Haebangchon branch

Location: Yongsan District, South Korea

“100% vegan cafe, so I knew there was no dairy on site!

I loved the black sesame croissant and almond cream latte.

You can also write a letter to the future (yourself or another person), which is such a fun solo activity!”
