Rui Teahouse

Cafes & bakeries · Myeongdong

House-made roll cakes give this intimate teahouse a cream-filled alternative to another coffee stop. Pistachio and strawberry pairs nutty cream with soft sponge, while vanilla black milk tea or a sweet, floral yogurt-jasmine drink offers two different tea directions.

Why visit

  • Rui Teahouse is a useful detour near Myeongdong when you want roll cake and a tea-based drink rather than another espresso stop. The appeal is comparing creamy cake flavours with jasmine or black-tea drinks, in a space with decorative objects and intimate seating.catchtable+1

Cake first, then choose your tea

  • CatchTable describes eleven kinds of roll cake made in-house, with whole cakes and mixed boxes of four choices. For a single café visit, look through the day’s display before ordering; the full advertised range may not all be available at once.catchtable
  • In a self-paid June 2, 2026 review, 맑음 ordered Pistachio Strawberry Roll Cake at ₩8,500. They described a moist, fluffy sponge around substantial pistachio cream, topped with sliced strawberry and chopped pistachio. That is a useful choice if you want a nutty, cream-filled dessert with fruit, rather than a plain sponge.Naver Blog
  • The same visitor compared Yogurt Jasmine, ₩6,500, with Vanilla Black Milk Tea, ₩7,500. The jasmine drink tasted like sweet yogurt with a floral accent; they found the combination intriguing but divisive. The milk tea was fuller than the jasmine drink, with vanilla and a faint buttery aroma, yet lighter than the black milk teas they usually drank.Naver Blog

Atmosphere and a practical tip

  • The June visitor noticed Chinese-influenced decorative objects and antique-looking features, but thought groups of three or four could find the seating awkward. This suggests a better fit for a solo tea break or a pair than a large catch-up. CatchTable locates the shop at Unit 102, 20 Samil-daero 6-gil; confirm current flavours and prices at the counter.Naver Blog+1
