I visited Grid, a Songpa café known for its egg tarts. Let me tell you about it 😊
Where is Grid Cafe, and is there parking?
Grid Cafe (그리드 카페) is located at 146 Macheon-ro, 1st floor, Songpa-gu, Seoul, an easy walk from Ogeum Station Line 3 Exit 2 or Gaerong Station Exit 1 — great accessibility. It sits right on the street, so even on my first visit it was easy to find.
Parking is difficult on weekdays, but on weekends you can park behind the store, which made it convenient even coming by car.
What's in the bakery case at Grid Cafe, and how much?
Walking into Grid Cafe, the first thing that caught my eye was all the bread lined up in the showcase.
It's not just a coffee spot — it's a place where you can enjoy bakery items right alongside your drink.
Inside Grid Cafe: seating and atmosphere
Overall it had a calm, quiet atmosphere, good for spending time in peace.
The seats facing outside looked like they'd be the popular spot.
What we ordered at Grid Cafe, plus one ordering tip
Here's what we ordered at Grid Cafe.
- Vanilla bean latte ₩4,900
- Choco latte ₩5,500
- Cream salt bread ₩4,300
- Egg tart ₩3,700
- Jambon-beurre ciabatta sandwich ₩8,500
If you want to enjoy it at its best, I'd recommend timing your visit for when the fresh bread comes out.
Vanilla bean latte and a chocolate latte kids can drink
Grid Cafe's iced vanilla bean latte had a subtle vanilla scent that paired nicely with the coffee.
You can even choose the beans, so I picked a nutty roast. It wasn't just sweet — it was easy to drink and paired well with the egg tart too.
The iced choco latte is great if you like a rich, sweet chocolate flavor. It's fine for kids to drink too, and the portion is generous.
Cream-filled salt bread and the Songpa egg tart
Grid Cafe's cream salt bread (₩4,300) has a plain, savory outside, but with soft whipped cream added inside it has a different charm from a regular salt bread.
The cream is subtly sweet, making it a great dessert for when you need a sugar boost. As for the egg tart — one bite and it's confirmed: this place is worth the trip.
Crispy on the outside, incredibly soft and moist inside. The sweetness and nuttiness kept coming through with every bite — so good.
The last jambon-beurre ciabatta sandwich in the case
This is a place worth visiting for the egg tart alone. The jambon-beurre ciabatta sandwich (₩8,500) turned out to be very popular — I managed to grab the last one. The salty ham and the plain, chewy texture of the ciabatta felt so satisfying together.
It's good as a dessert, but it also works well when you want a proper, filling meal.
Is Grid Cafe worth a visit? Final verdict
Grid Cafe is a place where you can enjoy coffee alongside a variety of desserts. It's within walking distance of both Ogeum and Gaerong stations, so accessibility is great, and the calm, relaxed atmosphere makes it easy to spend time there. If you're looking for a café in Ogeum-dong or the best egg tart spot in Songpa, come check it out 😊
