Incredible cookie

Stopped in for a sweet snack and they had so much choice! Went for the miso and pecan cookie and it was amazing. Wish I was in The area longer so I could go back to try some of the other lovely sounding vegan food.

Pros: Lots of choice!, Delicious cookie, Cute place

Creative and flavourful

Staff are lovely.
Food is extremely tasty.
Menu is diverse and a creative take on Korean-English cafe fusion.
Reasonable prices for South England and the quality!

Lovely cafe 🌻

We had the Tommy Toast and Red Reuben, which were both very flavourful. I would highly recommend coming here if you are in Lewes. Very reasonably priced and friendly staff too.

Pros: Food, Price, Atmosphere

Phenomenal

Wow, the chocolate brownie and macha cookies here were to die for, amazing vulgogi pastry and yummy Tofu ciabatta too - we will be back to try their bokeumbab soon! Please note though, they no longer do kimbap or bubble tea!!

Fantastic

Lovely venue with an interesting, varied menu. We had the bulgolgi and the dumpling soup with noodles. Food took a little while to prepare but both dishes were really good. Wish I had time to try more.

Nice lunch

The tofu ciabatta with chips was tasty. The manduguk noodle soup was ok, although the noodles were a bit overcooked. All in all a good lunch.

A favourite

Delicious Korean food. I haven't had Korean food for a while and I love this place. If I lived close I would be there all the time!

Cakes are delicious as well as the coffee and tea!

5 ✨

5 ✨ for the young girl that served me, the food for me wasn't amazing but maybe I'll need to try different dishes 😉

You guys need to get a bigger space, I had to wait to get a table to eat for more than 30min. But that's a good sign it means that you are doing the right thing 💚
And by the time I was waiting so many people came in too, trying to get a table to eat.

Delicious food in a relaxed environment

I really loved my visit here today. I had the perilla odon to eat in and butter ganjang tokatsu bokkeumbap to takeaway. Both were absolutely delicious. Also enjoyed the best banana bread I have ever eaten. A fabulous little place - only wish I lived close enough to visit regularly.

Pros: Great quality vegan Korean food, Lots of sweet options for dessert , Friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere

My favourite cafe!!

this is probably the best vegan cafe i've been to, going with friends we managed to try most of the menu (i believe it changes seasonally) and everything i've had is delicious. my personal favourite was the kimchi soondubu jjigae (the stew pictured). very reasonable prices especially for the area, and the black sesame latte is the best coffee i've ever had!! the dessert counter always has such a lovely array and always exceptional, i wish i could try it all, everything always looks incredible😄they are also very accommodating to a gluten free diet

Pros: lovely staff, great selection, affordable
