어니언 성수점
Onion Seongsu is a bakery cafe in Seongsu-dong, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, distinguished by its industrial interior that preserves the raw concrete walls of a former small factory. Conveniently located near Exit 2 of Seongsu Station on Subway Line 2, it ranks among the must-visit spots for international tourists exploring the Seongsu neighborhood. The bakery selection is broader than expected, and prices are reasonable relative to the establishment's fame. The breads lean toward rich, sweet profiles, and some items have a notably firm crust. Coffee opinions diverge: the standard blend features a pronounced smoky bitterness from dark roasting, and the signature milk tea remains quite sweet even with reduced sugar. Upgrading to the Geisha blend offers a more balanced cup. The cafe uses high-end equipment—including a La Marzocco Linea PB and Japanese Kinto mugs—yet the roasting profile of the house beans tends to polarize palates. Seating divides among cushioned areas on the ground floor, standard tables, and a rooftop terrace. The rooftop is an appealing spot in good weather, but the staircase leading up is extremely steep and requires caution. Popularity means waits of ten minutes or longer for indoor seats are common, though weekday visits are noticeably calmer. The space blends Korean sensibility with contemporary design in a way that is tailor-made for photography, making it a strong choice for those who prioritize atmosphere.
