Nice Korean Friend

Where Tradition Meets Nostalgia in Every Sip

If you’re exploring Gyeongdong Market or Cheongryangni, make sure to stop by Cafe Cheongryang. This unique cafe has a special history — it was once a photography studio run by the owner’s grandfather, and now, the grandson has transformed it into a cozy cafe with a charming retro vibe.

Cafe Cheongryang offers a menu filled with nostalgic treats that reflect Korea’s retro culture. Some of the standout items include the Black Sesame Cream Latte and the “Memorable Lunch Box,” which is styled after the classic lunch boxes of the 70s and 80s. For a full experience, try the “Hansang Charim,” which pairs their Kettle Coffee with the nostalgic lunch box for a delightful meal.

In addition to drinks, you’ll find a variety of old-fashioned Korean snacks, cakes, tteokbokki, and even rice tiramisu. If you’re visiting the markets nearby, this cafe is a must-visit for both a taste of history and delicious treats.
