Greenhouse Cafe

As promised, I went back to Greenhouse (그린하우스), Dogye-dong’s prized cafe and bakery, to see if their lunch options were as spectacular as their selection of bread and pastries. Unsurprisingly, lunch was delicious. Greenhouse did not disappoint.

On a weekday around noon, the second floor cafe is spacious, quiet, and brightly lit. Its atmosphere is still cozy, though, with armchair seating and many books stacked artistically on the shelves. I believe the books were meant for decoration, but a few of them were photo albums from Life magazine, so my friend and I perused them after we ordered and sat down. It helped pass the time, as the wait seemed unusually long for the low number of patrons.

Decorative books in Greenhouse Cafe (photo albums, encyclopedias, textbooks, and the like) that are probably not meant for perusal, but that didn’t stop us!

But when our meal was finally ready, it was well worth the wait. I believe that presentation is important — it really does affect the taste, or at least the dining experience — and these are some pretty paninis.

I ordered a mozzarella panini (모짜렐라 파니니, 7800KRW), the soup of the day, which was potato cheddar (감자 체더 스프, 1500KRW), and a blueberry latte (블루베리 라떼, 4500KRW). With one buck knocked off for some kind of brunch special, my total came out to 12,800KRW. As for taste, well, what beats warm, melty cheese on freshly-baked bread? I could have done without the special sauce drizzled on top, as it was sweetened, but otherwise I enjoyed my panini. I probably could have eaten two… but that just means I’ll have to go back again soon.

My friend’s panini — both were similarly priced and came with a side salad.

As you can see in the partial menu below, the cafe also offers red bean soup, salads, burgers, and even pizzas, along with a standard lineup of coffees. Enjoy your next meal at Greenhouse, and pick up some good bread on your way out!
