Stroller-friendly Yangjae café with egg tart and babka: Mini Male

Mini Male Coffee Roasters Yangjae Main Branch is a roastery bakery café a 5-minute walk from Exit 3 of Yangjae Citizen's Forest Station in Seocho, Seoul. After a day out at Yangjae Citizen's Forest with babies, the writer ordered a Helsinki latte at 5,200 won and a Düngel Americano at 3,600 won with butter babka, a Portuguese egg tart and a dark s'more cookie, then moved to the outdoor seats during nap time. Wide aisles let strollers roll right in and there is even a babyccino, making Mini Male an easy café stop with young kids.

Stroller-friendly Yangjae BBQ with sofa seats: Gamdol Yeontan Jip

Gamdol Yeontan Jip Yangjae Citizen's Forest Branch is a briquette-grilled Korean BBQ restaurant near Exit 3 of Yangjae Citizen's Forest Station in Seocho, Seoul. After a long play session at Maeheon Citizen's Forest, the family ordered two servings of coarse-salt briquette pork belly, two servings of gochujang briquette bulgogi and Changdong-ne shrimp egg custard, with sofa seats roomy enough to park a stroller beside the table. Between the basil ssamjang and the non-alcoholic plum highball, Gamdol Yeontan Jip is an easy pick for a group meal with babies along.
