A full-glass storefront in a Haeridan-gil alley

Low & Sweet Roastery sits in an alley of Haeridan-gil, and the exterior catches your eye even as you walk past. The sign is simple and fuss-free, and the full-glass front lets you glimpse the inside, which only makes you want to go in more. The whole look is bright and tidy, so the first impression was clean, and it's a nice-looking spot for photos too.

The front of the café has open windows and feels fairly airy, so walking in felt not stuffy at all!!

Inside Low & Sweet Roastery: atmosphere and seating

Inside Low & Sweet Roastery, the first thing you notice is the relaxed mix of wood-tone furniture and bright lighting. The space isn't huge, but the seats are spaced well enough that it didn't feel cramped, and it felt like a quiet place to stay.

One side has the roasting machine and a display of coffee beans, which really brings out that roastery café feel.

The style is neat and tidy without over-the-top decor, so it was a space where you don't get tired even after staying a long time.

There were lots of foreign guests too, so it felt a little like being abroad~

The lineup at Low & Sweet Roastery was really solid, from coffee to bakery items. Being a roastery café, you can also choose your beans, which is a nice feature. There aren't many kinds of dessert, but it's mostly the best-selling baked goods, so it was actually easier to choose, haha

• Decaf americano (hot) ₩5,700
• Iced latte ₩6,300
• Egg tart ₩3,800
• Plain financier (small baked butter cake) ₩3,200

Of these, the egg tart and latte combo was especially good.

Plain financier

The plain financier at Low & Sweet Roastery has a rich butter flavor without being overly greasy, which I liked. The texture is chewy too, with a solid-basics feel, so I was happy with this financier!
