Welcome to DARLIN CAFE, a charming gem nestled in the heart of the Gangnam District of Seoul. If you find yourself wandering along 25 Nonhyeon-ro 160-gil, be sure to step inside this delightful cafe that promises not just coffee, but an experience to savor.

As you enter DARLIN CAFE, you're embraced by a cozy atmosphere, complete with warm lighting and a welcoming decor that invites you to sit back and unwind. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between chic and relaxed, making it an ideal spot for a casual brunch with friends or a serene afternoon of solo reflection over a cup of coffee.

The menu is a treasure trove of delectable offerings. Customers rave about the incredibly smooth salted caramel latte, which is celebrated as one of the best drinks you could ever experience—just ask Thomas Papavasileiou, who deemed it "top-notch." Another crowd favorite is the salted caramel macchiato, which Andrew Ramirez described as "so good," while also singing praises for the delightful salt bread that pairs beautifully with it.

But it doesn't stop there! The food menu is equally compelling, offering a tempting array of dishes. You’ll find ham and cheese sandwiches, homemade ragu pasta, and scrumptious raspberry cheesecake. 이시진 couldn't help but share their enthusiasm for these dishes, expressing sheer satisfaction with every bite. The cafe's bakery items also tantalize the senses; the pastries and desserts are visually stunning and have customers wishing they could try everything in one visit.

DARLIN CAFE takes pride in not just serving food but creating an experience that lingers long after you leave. Picture enjoying a delicious brunch while sunlight floods in through expansive windows, creating the perfect backdrop for that Instagram-worthy shot. The cafe strikes a chord with anyone looking for a slice of tranquility amidst the city's hustle and bustle.

Whether it's the inviting selection of beverages or the thoughtfully curated food menu, DARLIN CAFE has something for everyone. You may find yourself echoing the sentiments of Sammyy Marsonet, who declared their coffee the best they ever had, and left with a promise to return to Korea solely for another visit. This isn't just a cafe; it's a comforting retreat where every taste feels like a warm hug from home.

Your journey in Seoul wouldn’t be complete without a visit to this hidden treasure. Make it a point to stop by DARLIN CAFE, where delicious food, serene ambiance, and unforgettable flavors await you!

We passed by here whilst staying in Seoul & am so glad we did. The food was delicious & I will go so far as to say that it was the best coffee I have had in my life. Great flavour, strength & temperature. I will visit Korea again just to go to here!

Salted caramel macchiato was so good and the salt bread was solid as well. There’s so many different dessert options I wish I could have tried more.

브런치 맛집 찾다가 들렀는데 대만족이었어요! 햄치즈 샌드위치, 홈메이드 라구파스타, 라즈베리 치즈케이크까지 다 맛있었어요. 포근한 인테리어에 통창으로 들어오는 채광이 예뻐서 사진도 잘 나오고 분위기도 최고였어요. 베이커리류도 진짜 맛있어 보였는데 못 먹어본 게 아쉬울 정도… 다음엔 꼭 먹어보려고요.

Such a cute and chill café in Apgujeong! The vibe is super cozy and casual — perfect for catching up with friends or getting a little work done. They have a great selection of pastries (seriously, SO good) and the coffee was amazing. You can tell they really care about quality. Definitely one of those spots I’d come back to again. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

귀여운 고양이 조형물에 끌려 들어갔던 곳이에요. 디저트 하나하나 정성이 느껴졌고 플레이팅도 정말 예뻤어요. 피넛크림 라떼는 고소함이 진하게 남아서 인상 깊었고, 라즈베리 치즈케이크는 상큼함과 꾸덕함의 완벽한 조화였어요. 맛과 분위기 모두 만족스러워서 또 가고 싶은 곳이에요.

Very cute cafe, with pretty branding. Sadly, no cooked food was served on the day we visited. The pastries were hit and miss but the drinks were good.
