Wangsimni Station café with free parking: tea cocktail juice, Eojil In

Wangsimni café, bakery, dessert — Eojil In Wangsimni Station Branch is exactly the kind of café that's perfect for a bakery gift too. I visited and found it great for enjoying my own time no matter what hour, or even for a couples' date.

Eojil In Wangsimni Station Branch / 18 Majo-ro 9-gil, 1st and 2nd floor, Seongdong-gu, Seoul / a pretty bakery-style café near Wangsimni Station. Hours are daily 09:00–22:30, last order at 22:00. That day I ordered the tea cocktail juice and homemade cola.

How to find Eojil In from Wangsimni Station, and where to park

Eojil In Wangsimni Station Branch is just a 35-meter walk from Exit 6 of Wangsimni Station. Walk straight for a short distance and it's right there on your left.

Parking is free. Up to two cars can park in the building, and if it's full, you can park at the E-Mart right next door.

Inside Eojil In: first and second floor seating

Eojil In Wangsimni Station Branch has both a 1st floor and 2nd floor space. The 1st floor is where you order and has plenty of seating, while the 2nd floor, as I remember, is filled with couple seats and study spots — but this time there were so many customers that I barely managed to grab a spot on the 1st floor.

Overall, Eojil In's interior has a wood-toned, very soft and gentle feel to the space. It felt like the kind of place many people love, somewhere you could drop by without any pressure and just spend some time.

It feels a bit tucked away, but being so close to the station made it really convenient to get to. I thought it was just a café with good vibes, but it turns out they have a separate roasting space and roast their own beans, offering fresh and well-balanced coffee. And beyond coffee, they've brought on a professional pastry chef to run the bakery side too, baking everything fresh in-house every day using only fresh ingredients, made with care.

How the drinks and cakes at Eojil In tasted

Matilda choco cake, ₩6,900

The choco cake made famous by the novel Matilda! I tried this Matilda choco cake, known for its dense yet soft cream, and it was really delicious. A cake like this goes even better paired with coffee.

Basque cheesecake, ₩5,900

True to being a Basque cheesecake, it had a really dense, nutty flavor, and it wasn't sweet even after finishing it, giving it a clean, delicious taste. I'd genuinely recommend it to anyone who prefers a dense cake that isn't overly sweet.

Tea cocktail juice, ₩6,000

A tea cocktail juice made by combining hibiscus, orange, and raspberry into one cocktail-style drink. It's clean with just a touch of sweetness, and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone wanting something refreshing and cool.

Homemade cola, ₩6,000

A homemade cola made with 10 kinds of spices. It really has a fascinating flavor, and I enjoyed it — it's the kind of taste that keeps coming back to mind. It tastes like the cola we know, but with a much stronger spice presence, and above all, it felt healthier than regular cola, which I loved.

Gift idea from Eojil In: the financier set

When we had a housewarming at our place, coworkers gifted us a financier package, and it turned out they'd bought that delicious financier set from Eojil In Wangsimni Station Branch! I was so happy to see it that I'm sharing photos I took back then too. It's a really thoughtful gift, great for sharing, and above all it tastes so good that I think it's a wonderful present that just about anyone would love.
