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!
