When it comes to stuff like hunting down famous food places, I usually leave it to my friends and family to do it, because I’m not really the kind of person who will intentionally hunt down these places.
However, when I saw Florté Flower Café in a Korea guide book, I knew I had to go.
We headed here after our morning trip to Ewha, since it was located in Mapo as well. We took quite a bit of effort to find it because we overshot the turn that we were supposed to take.
You’ll definitely notice the café once you turn in. It’s really easy to spot because it’s surrounded by so many beautiful flowers!
Florté Flower Café is really popular, thanks to its celebrity customers and the various reality shows that have been filmed here. When we were there, there would always be at least a few groups having tea & taking selfies.
As a person who adores flowers, this place is HEAVEN. Almost every nook is tastefully adorned with beautiful blooms, and you can tell that the owners definitely have experience in floral arrangement and care.
It’s as though they want to make everything look so good that you have no choice but to Instagram it (it worked).
The drinks were pretty good – I quite liked my hot milk tea. Food-wise, I thought the panini was okay. Not super delicious, but still acceptable. We ordered a little too much for us to finish (just order 1 if you don’t have a huge appetite!). The staff were kind enough to give us a box to bring the leftovers back though, which I appreciated.
Prices were also on par with that of other cafés in Seoul. It’s not cheap, and definitely not the kind of food you should be ordering if you are travelling on a tight budge. However, if you have some won to spare, I definitely think this place is worth coming to.
Tip!
I can’t emphasise this enough but please be gracious when it comes to taking photos and selfies!
There’s only one flower wall, which is a hot spot for people who want to take lots of pretty photos. Take turns, wait patiently for the other people to have their photos taken, and don’t squabble over something as petty as a photo op. Everyone wants to get a nice photo in a Instagrammable café!
