Bottle Lounge 보틀팩토리 - Seoul

Not expecting to find anything special in this place, but intrigued by the curious mixture of messages outside, I wandered on in to be consistently happily surprised by basically everything here! This is not one of those book cafes that exists to sell books *and* coffee; it is definitely a simply great cafe first and foremost, however, the interesting and focused book collection has a number of famous gems. The vegan tempeh sandwich was not huge, but the sauce was tangy, the bread fresh, and the filling a wonderful blend of fresh and freshly heated veggies. The Oatley hot choco was dark, deeply rich and simply satisfying. The variety of chairs and tables is as eclectic as the rest of the decor.: hand made soaps and freshly grown veggies to buy, and to put in your own bags. The owners are cheerful and happy to chat in Korean or English. I'm looking forward to heading back again soon to try more of the vegan options on the menu, read a bit, or just enjoy chatting over the cool, quiet jazz. Updated from previous review on 2019-05-21

The owner of this place was really friendly and was knowledgeable of veganism. I got a vegan hot chocolate, which tasted amazing, and a vegan toasted sandwich. If you’re in the area I would recommend it for a lunch.

Lovely detailed touches, true zero waste feels, so comfortable and thoughtful, finally a cafe i can easily come to read! Love that they dont blast the AC. Scones were a bit sweet for me btw.

This caffe has an amazing mood. the personal is super friendly, the customers are truly respectful, the dogs are all kind. all about quality. and the pantry items are very affordable and good quality. food options are little in number and small portions, but delicious.

Ordered the signature plate with tempo, hummus, salat and pita, which they do not store. the dressing and aroma were delicious and fresh but it was not worth 13000won, so instead of a lush series of netzen, got a expensive snack instead. the atmosphere is bright and uplifted, and the personal is real, making a beautiful place to plunk with a book or computer. the products in charge give a cool zero drop vibe, although seemed purely decorative. the whole place offers a promise of the survey, seemingly hopes to transform omnis. To be fair, I didn't try. need to revise. Scone-plate update. it's really a nice tasty bite. updated by previous review on 2023-03-24
