Gangnam café for 450g Greek yogurt and pistachio: Lazy Yogurt

A good place near Gangnam Station to pick up Greek yogurt for breakfast

I've been eating Greek yogurt for breakfast a lot lately, so sometimes I really crave Greek yogurt that's thick and delicious. I love Greek yogurt so much that I tend to try all kinds, and today I'm sharing one of the places I return to regularly: Lazy Yogurt ❤️ From the first time I tried it, I felt that its Greek yogurt had a noticeably different level of thickness, so I stop by whenever I have reason to be in Gangnam. This time, too, I revisited Lazy Yogurt Gangnam to buy Greek yogurt for breakfast.

Lazy Yogurt Gangnam is about 365 m from Exit 4 of Gangnam Station on the Shinbundang Line, or roughly a five-minute walk. It is open daily from 10:00 to 20:00. Those hours work well for taking Greek yogurt to go for breakfast, so I sometimes stop in before work or when I have a morning appointment. The shop is not large, but it is neatly kept and the staff are friendly, so I feel comfortable every time I visit.

There are always lots of Japanese tourists here. It's pretty nice for sitting down and eating in, too.

Lazy Yogurt's menu and its thick texture

They say they use organic milk, age it at a low temperature for 72 hours, and strain out the whey. Maybe that's why, but its texture is far denser than ordinary yogurt. If you like yogurt so thick that it holds its shape when you scoop it with a spoon, I highly recommend it! I've had it several times, and every time I eat it, the standout is still that exceptional thickness.

Another advantage of Lazy Yogurt is that you can choose from a wide range of Greek yogurt flavors and toppings. The yogurt flavors are quite varied: plain, soy milk, pistachio, strawberry, blueberry, cookies and cream, mugwort, rice, chestnut, black sesame, and black milk tea.

There are lots of toppings, too, including cacao nibs, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, banana, almonds, chocolate balls, granola, and coconut chunks. The seasonal fruit this time is peach.

How the 450g plain yogurt worked for breakfast every day

This time, too, I took home the 450g large-size Greek yogurt. When you order the large size at Lazy Yogurt, they pack the yogurt for you right there that day. I ordered the large size so I could portion it out little by little each morning at home; rather than eating it all at once, it is nice to keep refrigerated and add fruit or granola each day.

The package also listed the nutrition information in detail. Per 100g, it has 146 kcal, 7g carbohydrates, 2g sugars, 8g fat, 4g saturated fat, and an impressive 11g protein.

And the shelf life was more generous than I expected. It says to consume it within two weeks, so even when buying the large size, I felt less pressure to finish it in a rush.

I tend to have Greek yogurt with a little fruit or nuts for breakfast, so keeping a large tub like this is quite practical. Above all, the reason I keep coming back to Lazy Yogurt is this thick textureㅠㅠ The plain flavor itself was rich and nutty enough that I was satisfied without getting tired of it, even for breakfast every day!

Richly flavored pistachio Greek yogurt

My favorite, pistachio! Pistachio was a menu item I had enjoyed before, so I made sure not to skip it this time either. When I first tried Lazy Yogurt's pistachio flavor, I thought, “Wow, this is more intensely pistachio-flavored than I expected?” And it was just as delicious when I had it again this time. The nutty pistachio flavor is quite rich, and it reminded me of pistachio ice cream as I ate it. But it is not simply sweet like ice cream; it also has the tangy, rich flavor unique to Greek yogurt, making it lovely to eat as a dessert.

If you are looking for deliciously thick Greek yogurt in Gangnam, or Greek yogurt for breakfast, I think Lazy Yogurt Gangnam is worth a visit. I've already returned several times, and now I'm wondering which flavor to choose next time.
