Two-scoop Greek yogurt and cold brew at a Seongsu café: Lazy Yogurt

Hi everyone. My boyfriend and I were walking through the Seongsu café district and looking for somewhere to take a break. Yeonmujang-gil is fun to wander but it gets crowded, so this time we wanted dessert somewhere a bit quieter. That's how we ended up at Lazy Yogurt Seongsu.

Lazy Yogurt Seongsu was a great spot to enjoy thick Greek yogurt and coffee together on an outdoor terrace facing the trees. The two-scoop yogurt with fruit and honey was especially satisfying as a fall dessert after a late lunch.

I'll go in order: the space we stumbled on during our Seongsu walk, the two-scoop Greek yogurt and cold brew, and why I want to go back.

One step off Yeonmujang-gil: inside Lazy Yogurt Seongsu

Lazy Yogurt Seongsu sits just slightly inside from Yeonmujang-gil, where people are constantly passing by. The building opens in a U-shape, so the street noise felt a step further away. With plenty of trees around, it felt like stepping into a little forest path right in the middle of Seongsu.

What I liked most was the outdoor terrace seating. The fall sunlight was warm and the air under the tree shade was cool, so it was pleasant to sit outside. It was also a comfortable spot to keep chatting with my boyfriend after our walk. If you want to step away from a crowded street for a bit, I get why this place stays in people's minds as a Seongsu fall dessert spot.

How the two-scoop Greek yogurt and cold brew tasted

We ordered the Greek yogurt two scoops with blueberry, fig, banana and such, plus a cold brew. Yogurt is the main thing at Lazy Yogurt Seongsu, but I liked that you can also pick coffee or tea. Being able to add a cup of coffee when dessert alone feels like too little during a walk suited us perfectly.

The most striking thing from the first spoonful was the texture of the yogurt. It was thick enough to sit heavily on the spoon without running. Eaten plain, the flavor was mild first, and with honey drizzled on, a soft sweetness was added. Depending on how much fruit and granola you scoop up together, the taste changed a little within the same bowl, which was fun.

I ate blueberry with the yogurt first, then piled on plenty of banana and granola with the next spoonful. Adding fig gave yet another texture, so I never got tired of it until the last bite. Rather than mixing all the toppings together at once, scooping up whichever combination we felt like at the moment suited our taste better.

What's on the menu at Lazy Yogurt Seongsu

Looking at the in-store menu, there were several yogurt flavors besides plain, and you could pick toppings like fruit or nuts to suit your taste. Acai bowls and bagel sandwiches were also on the board, so I'd like to try other items next time. Lazy Yogurt says it takes 72 hours to make its yogurt.

The cold brew we ordered alongside was also nice. Taking a sip of coffee between bites of yogurt and fruit felt refreshing. Since we'd had a late lunch, we wanted something light rather than a heavy cake, and the yogurt-and-coffee combo was just right that day. An afternoon that covered both feeling healthy and enjoying dessert.

Where Lazy Yogurt Seongsu is, and why I'd go back

Lazy Yogurt Seongsu is at 14 Seongsuiro14-gil, B-dong 102-ho, Seongdong-gu, Seoul. Worth adding to a walking route — sit on the terrace on a cool day and slowly work through a bowl. I'd call it a Seongsu fall dessert spot, including the sense of calm here that contrasts with the crowded street outside.

Menu terms explained

• Greek yogurt: strained yogurt made thicker and denser than regular yogurt.
• Granola: a crunchy topping made of baked grains and such.
• Cold brew: coffee slowly steeped in cold water.
• Acai bowl: blended fruit topped with various add-ons.

Can you order just the yogurt?

You can also choose cold brew and tea, not just yogurt. The in-store menu also lists acai bowls and bagel sandwiches.

Is it a good café to eat outdoors?

When I visited, the terrace seats facing the trees were great for enjoying the cool fall weather. Comfort levels can vary with the weather, so check the temperature on the day you plan to visit.

My rating is 5 out of 5. The thick texture of the yogurt was great, but I think what I'll remember longer is the time spent taking a break from the busy Seongsu street with my boyfriend. Next time I want to pick a few more toppings and build my own combination. My intent to revisit is 500 percent.
