Wangsimni café takeout with sealed Nerdy Milk: Nerdy Blue Burrow
In short
Nerdy Blue Burrow is a small warehouse-style café on Gosanja-ro 12-gil in Seongdong, Seoul, near Wangsimni Station. On the drive home, the writer picked up Nerdy Milk, the coffee of the month and chocolate pudding to go, and the Nerdy Blue Burrow staff sealed the cups carefully, so nothing spilled. Praised again on a return visit, the Nerdy Blue Burrow chocolate pudding was even more tempting than the drinks.

A Wangsimni café recommendation (a "bunwigi-joeun café," meaning one with a great atmosphere)
I came to Nerdy Blue Burrow because I wanted to pick up coffee on my way home. I'd been before, and both the desserts and the coffee were great, so I came back with high expectations. Nerdy Blue is a café that's serious about coffee, with a lovely atmosphere, so it's a must-stop if you're in the Wangsimni area! Here's my honest visit review. Let's go!
Where is Nerdy Blue Burrow, and what about parking?
Nerdy Blue Burrow is at 15 Gosanja-ro 12-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul. It isn't far from Wangsimni Station, but you do have to walk. If you come by car, parking is a little tricky, so use a nearby car park or sort out parking separately.
It's a bit of a distance, but it depends how you look at it, so it's hard to say. I think it's a fine distance. I got takeout because of my car, too!

What's the atmosphere like at Nerdy Blue Burrow?
Nerdy Blue Burrow looks like a warehouse, so when you arrive, exactly one place stands out. That's Nerdy Blue Burrow. The café isn't big, but I actually think it's nicer for being small. It has an effortlessly casual style, which is totally my taste!

Inside there are only a few seats, but it feels warm and has a great atmosphere. Franchises are fine, but enjoying a small café like this is really nice too! I actually prefer places like this.


How to order and what's on the menu at Nerdy Blue Burrow
The ordering spot is in the middle of the café. You look at the menu first, then pay staff directly.

The coffee list includes recommended coffees and several others. There are non-coffee drinks too, so choosing is easy, but the lineup isn't a typical café-style one. That's why, if you love coffee, you can enjoy it with even more gusto!

Besides drinks, they sell desserts too. There's chocolate pudding and a few others, so pick whatever suits you. I'd eaten here before, and I personally found the chocolate pudding delicious!

I ordered drinks and dessert to go, and when I said I was going by car, the staff carefully sealed the cups for me. Thanks to that, I got everything home without spilling a drop!



How does Nerdy Milk taste? Chocolate milk that isn't too sweet
First, think of Nerdy Blue Burrow's Nerdy Milk as chocolate milk. But it isn't just sweet; it keeps a nice balance! I personally love chocolate, and I really enjoyed this Nerdy Milk too!


Also, be sure to mix the Nerdy Milk thoroughly before drinking. It tastes even better and the flavor is definitely richer. Highly recommended!

What does the coffee of the month taste like?
I think the staff just choose the coffee of the month for you. I wondered if the beans change every month, and the taste was good. Nerdy Blue Burrow is serious about coffee, so nothing here feels half-hearted.


The portion is generous, it cools down quickly, and it's clean with no acidity and a crisp finish, a taste nobody should dislike!

Why you have to order the chocolate pudding at Nerdy Blue Burrow
I'd had Nerdy Blue Burrow's chocolate pudding before, and it's a dessert I raved about. It isn't too sweet, yet it keeps that classic chocolate feel, and it's just so good!

If you eat it with the chocolate chips on top, you get a crunch and the chocolate tastes even richer. Total must-try from me!

Don't agonize, it's a luxury you don't need. If you visit Nerdy Blue, you have to order it, and you'll wish you'd packed one more to go!

I actually reached for it more than the drinks, so I'll buy it again next time! And yes, it's fattening, not-so-secretly!
Nerdy Blue Burrow: overall verdict
Overall, Nerdy Blue Burrow has good drinks but also does desserts well, and I especially recommend the chocolate pudding! If you're in the Wangsimni area, don't agonize over which café, just head to Nerdy Blue. You won't regret it, and the taste is guaranteed! You can also grab a meal after the café, and it's great for dates, so it's just right!
