Mellows near Ttukseom Station, after a walk in Seoulsup

Mellows (멜로우즈, written "Mellowz" on the sign) is a café near Ttukseom Station that serves Sangha Farm milk ice cream and coffee. I was out and about in Seongsu, walked a full loop of Seoulsup, and wanted something cold afterwards. That's how I ended up at Mellows.

Getting to Mellows and the weekday-morning mood

Mellows is about a 3-minute walk from Exit 7 of Ttukseom Station, so it's easy to reach, and it's close to Seoulsup, which makes it a natural stop once you finish your walk. If you're looking for a café dessert near Ttukseom Station, it's a no-fuss place to drop in on your route.

I went around 11 a.m. on a weekday. There was no wait and I could sit right away, and the inside felt clean and relaxed.

Mellows has a good range of coffee as well as ice cream, so it works as a proper café, not just a dessert stop. There's plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors, comfortable whether you're on your own or resting with a friend. 🙂

How to order at Mellows and what I had

This time at Mellows I ordered a matcha soft serve, a mango soft serve, an americano and a café latte.

Ordering is simple at a kiosk, and the food came out without a long wait. The toppings were arranged nicely on the ice cream, which made for good photos, and considering the price the whole set felt pretty generous.

How does the matcha soft serve at Mellows taste?

The matcha soft serve at Mellows had the rich, nutty flavor of Sangha Farm (상하목장) milk with the bittersweet note of matcha on top.

What struck me from the first bite was that rich, nutty Sangha Farm milk flavor. It wasn't just artificially sweet; the natural creaminess of the milk came through, and the matcha's bitterness was added in just the right amount, so I could finish it without it feeling heavy.

Above all, the texture was super smooth, melting naturally in the mouth, and the aftertaste was clean.

The toppings were great too. A crunchy cookie was stuck in the top for some chew, and there was cereal at the bottom, so every spoonful had a crispy bite alongside the ice cream. The smooth ice cream and crunchy toppings worked well together, and I didn't get tired of it right to the last bite. 😋

How does the mango soft serve at Mellows taste?

The mango soft serve at Mellows smelled fresh and tangy, and its sweet-sour flavor went well with the milk base.

The mango was clearly different from the very first sniff. The scent wasn't artificial; you got the fresh aroma of the fruit first, and the sweet-sour taste blended naturally with the milk base.

The mango's tartness didn't override the creaminess of the milk, so it finished cleanly, and I thought it would be especially good on a hot summer day.

How were the americano and café latte at Mellows?

The americano and café latte I ordered alongside were better than I expected. Given the low price I thought they might be a bit watery, but the aroma of the beans came through gently and the coffee tasted clean.

The acidity wasn't strong, so it's easy for anyone to drink, and with the sweet ice cream the flavors balanced well. I'd say you could order just coffee here and still be happy with the value. ☕

Verdict: is Mellows a good dessert café near Ttukseom Station?

Overall I was very satisfied with this café dessert near Ttukseom Station. The biggest plus for Mellows is that you can enjoy rich ice cream made with Sangha Farm milk for around ₩4,000.

It's easy on the wallet but the taste beats expectations, so I'd like to stop by again whenever I visit Seoulsup. It's good for enjoying coffee and ice cream alone, and the mood is relaxed enough for friends or family too. I'd especially recommend it to anyone looking for a café dessert near Ttukseom Station or a casual place to rest near Seoulsup. 😊

Each ice cream flavor has a distinct personality, so next time I'd like to try the other flavors one by one.
