Once inside, the atmosphere was really distinctive. With British vintage-inspired décor and antique objects placed throughout, it felt a little like a scene from a film. It felt completely different from the chain cafés that are everywhere these days. This was a mood-filled café with the owner’s personality written all over it. I had been looking for a café in Suyu, and finding this cozy yet exotic brunch spot in Gangbuk made me so happy. ## How was the soy latte? ![Caffè latte made with soy milk](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-vintage-cannelle-cafe-menderly/suyu-vintage-cannelle-cafe-menderly-02-1kqt0-900.webp) My friend swapped the milk in her latte for soy milk, and the moment I tried it, I said, “Wow, this coffee is seriously good.” At that moment I caught the owner’s eye, and I shot over a look of appreciation because the coffee was so beautifully made ^^ The owner nodded as if they knew exactly what I meant, and we shared a little smile, haha. My friend said they use very fresh soy milk too~ The coffee was rich, and the flavor really was different. It is a brunch café in Suyu, but it is also a Suyu café that gets the coffee right. Cafe Mendeolli Suyu Branch (카페멘덜리 수유점) is clearly serious about coffee. ## Crisp outside, moist inside: canelés ![Canelé dessert, crisp outside and moist inside](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-vintage-cannelle-cafe-menderly/suyu-vintage-cannelle-cafe-menderly-03-8pnqd-900.webp) ![House-baked canelé dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-vintage-cannelle-cafe-menderly/suyu-vintage-cannelle-cafe-menderly-04-s86uc-900.webp) The canelés were crisp on the outside and moist within. Maybe because they are baked in-house, they were much tastier than the ones sold elsewhere. The crisp exterior and tender middle were exactly my style, so this café would not be out of place as a dessert destination too. If you like canelés, you really have to try them. I found a Suyu café with great desserts, so next time I told my friend we should come back to Cafe Mendeolli, haha. ## Fresh grapefruit ade made with blended fruit ![Fresh grapefruit ade drink](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-vintage-cannelle-cafe-menderly/suyu-vintage-cannelle-cafe-menderly-05-1d16h-900.webp) The grapefruit ade was even better because it was actually made by blending fresh fruit. It had a freshness that was clearly different from something made with syrup. There were fruit bits to chew on too, and the bright tangy flavor was really alive. I recommend it to anyone who likes fresh-fruit drinks. If you are looking for a brunch café in Suyu, this is a place that prepares every drink with care, so it could be worth a visit. ## A space with a terrace and group seating ![Interior seating at Cafe Mendeolli Suyu Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-vintage-cannelle-cafe-menderly/suyu-vintage-cannelle-cafe-menderly-06-ado5a-900.webp) ![Café space with a British vintage feel](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-vintage-cannelle-cafe-menderly/suyu-vintage-cannelle-cafe-menderly-07-1eeu8-900.webp) ![Café seating available for groups](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-vintage-cannelle-cafe-menderly/suyu-vintage-cannelle-cafe-menderly-08-owdha-900.webp) ![Terrace space at Cafe Mendeolli](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-vintage-cannelle-cafe-menderly/suyu-vintage-cannelle-cafe-menderly-09-3jfsj-900.webp) ![Café interior with antique objects](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-vintage-cannelle-cafe-menderly/suyu-vintage-cannelle-cafe-menderly-10-1pon0-900.webp) It had the kind of atmosphere where local residents seemed to come often. I could see regulars coming and going in comfortable clothes. There is terrace space and seating for groups, so it looked nice for meeting friends or having a casual gathering too. It is a mood-filled café where you can comfortably enjoy brunch in a cozy space with a British vintage feel. ## Cafe Mendeolli Suyu Branch, a great place for easy conversation ![Antique interior at Cafe Mendeolli](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-vintage-cannelle-cafe-menderly/suyu-vintage-cannelle-cafe-menderly-11-gxaxy-900.webp) ![Cozy space with a British vintage feel](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-vintage-cannelle-cafe-menderly/suyu-vintage-cannelle-cafe-menderly-12-7j0gb-900.webp) ![Seating that is nice for coffee and conversation](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-vintage-cannelle-cafe-menderly/suyu-vintage-cannelle-cafe-menderly-13-nh11s-900.webp) Cafe Mendeolli Suyu Branch has a living British vintage sensibility. The antique objects and cozy interior create an atmosphere that feels both comfortable and special. Rather than being a café decorated to look flashy, it is a nice place to sit down, have a cup of coffee, and talk. There are lots of good restaurants nearby, so it would be nice for dessert after a meal, and it also seems like a good brunch café. ## Menu and parking information The menu has more variety, but I picked out just a few items. You will need to check with the café for the exact menu and prices. It seems delivery may be available too. I also saw sandwiches on Naver Order. ![Menu information for Cafe Mendeolli Suyu Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-vintage-cannelle-cafe-menderly/suyu-vintage-cannelle-cafe-menderly-14-ii253-701.webp) *Source: café menu photo* There is space for one car in front of the café. Parking is not especially spacious, but I heard there is also a public parking lot nearby. - 1F, 18 Suyu-ro, Gangbuk-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울 강북구 수유로 18 1층) - Parking for one car in front of the café - 314 m from Exit 1 of Hwagye Station - Hours: 10:30–21:30 I discovered Cafe Mendeolli Suyu Branch while looking for a café in Suyu.
