After a walk along the Seongnaecheon stream, the writer ordered angbeoteo chiabatta (red bean and butter ciabatta) for 4,500 won, an egg tart for 3,700 won and salt bread for 3,000 won with a decaf Americano, and a rainy window seat made it better still. The popular jambon-beurre sandwich was already sold out just after 11am at Grid Cafe, so the verdict is to arrive earlier next time. ## Good to know - **Address**: 1st floor, 146 Macheon-ro, Songpa-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: 09:00–18:00 (closes early once the bakery sells out) - **Ordering**: Kiosk ordering - **Angbeoteo chiabatta (red bean butter ciabatta)**: 4,500 won - **Egg tart**: 3,700 won - **Salt bread**: 3,000 won - **Location note**: Close to Seongnaecheon Mulbit Plaza - **Price reference**: ₩4,500 ≈ $3.3 · ₩3,700 ≈ $2.7 · ₩3,000 ≈ $2.2 (2026-09-16) *as written by the visitor on Sep 5, 2026* ![Desserts and drinks at Grid Cafe near Seongnaecheon](https://img.superchart.com/images/grid-cafe-seongnaecheon-anbutter-ciabatta/grid-cafe-seongnaecheon-anbutter-ciabatta-01-pw7g5-m-900.webp) A Seongnaecheon café, a Songpa dessert café — Grid Cafe. ![Exterior of Grid Cafe on Macheon-ro, Songpa](https://img.superchart.com/images/grid-cafe-seongnaecheon-anbutter-ciabatta/grid-cafe-seongnaecheon-anbutter-ciabatta-02-1xdpm-1200.webp) ![View of the entrance of Grid Cafe](https://img.superchart.com/images/grid-cafe-seongnaecheon-anbutter-ciabatta/grid-cafe-seongnaecheon-anbutter-ciabatta-03-1su92-900.webp) ## Grid Cafe: a good coffee stop after a Seongnaecheon stream walk I took a light stroll along the Seongnaecheon walking path and then stopped by Grid Cafe.

Crisp on the outside, with sweet red bean paste and a thick slab of butter tucked inside the Italian bread — chewy, mild, and easy to eat. ![Egg tart filling shown cut in half](https://img.superchart.com/images/grid-cafe-seongnaecheon-anbutter-ciabatta/grid-cafe-seongnaecheon-anbutter-ciabatta-16-2hrgs-900.webp) ### Egg tart, 3,700 won The egg tart was ₩3,700. I cut it right in half — you can see the golden filling packed all the way through, right? One bite in, it was so soft and delicious that I finished the whole thing in no time. ![Grid Cafe's plain salt bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/grid-cafe-seongnaecheon-anbutter-ciabatta/grid-cafe-seongnaecheon-anbutter-ciabatta-17-em2aw-900.webp) ### Salt bread, 3,000 won The salt bread was ₩3,000. Salty yet savory, absolutely full of flavor! Crisp outside, really moist inside — a perfect match with the Americano. ![Decaf Americano with salt bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/grid-cafe-seongnaecheon-anbutter-ciabatta/grid-cafe-seongnaecheon-anbutter-ciabatta-18-1d48e-900.webp) ### Decaf Americano at Grid Cafe A mellow yet clean Americano. I'm sensitive to caffeine so I ordered it decaf. It went really well with the salt bread, egg tart, and ambeoteo chiabatta. After a walk along Seongnaecheon, I spent a leisurely day soaking in the damp, sentimental mood of a rainy day, enjoying delicious bread and a fragrant decaf Americano. Next time I'll move even faster so I can finally get that sandwich! ## Where it is - Grid Cafe (그리드 카페) - 146 Macheon-ro, 1st floor, Songpa-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 송파구 마천로 146 1층 - 37.5043283, 127.1355565 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B7%B8%EB%A6%AC%EB%93%9C%20%EC%B9%B4%ED%8E%98/@37.5043283,127.1355565,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@chungcheong-meal-postcards/grid-cafe-seongnaecheon-anbutter-ciabatta/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
