Cafe Layered Bukchon
Cafes & bakeries · Bukchon
A hanok-style exterior gives way to a vintage, English-countryside-inspired room filled with cakes and scones. Earl Grey bakes and cranberry cream-cheese scones make this an appealing Anguk stop if choosing a pastry is as much of the pleasure as the room.

Good to know
Why visit
- Cafe Layered Bukchon combines a hanok-style exterior inspired by traditional Korean houses with a vintage, English-countryside-inspired cake-and-scone room. It suits a pastry stop near Anguk when choosing among tea-flavoured cakes and fruit or cream-cheese scones matters more than having a spacious, quiet table.DiningCode+1
Start with cake or scones
- A useful starting combination comes from Diningcode reviewer 토바토비’s December 14, 2025 order: Earl Grey cake, a cranberry cream-cheese scone and an Americano. If you prefer cake, the Earl Grey option gives you a named tea-flavoured choice; if you would rather try a scone, cranberry and cream cheese offer a different set of ingredients. The reviewer liked the range and the food; ask at the counter about sweetness and texture if you have a preference.DiningCode
Compare the display
- An October 5, 2026 Trip.com account by Wander with Kia also identified Earl Grey, strawberry and cranberry cream-cheese scones alongside cakes. For friends with different preferences, use that range to decide between a tea-flavoured bake and a fruit-based one, then check what is actually on display.Trip.com
What the room feels like
- The October visitor described a contrast between the hanok-style exterior and a cosy interior with English countryside references, vintage details and tables filled with cakes and scones. This gives you a reason to linger over the display and the room, particularly if the setting is part of your café walk. Space is the trade-off: the December reviewer found the seats cramped and had to wait.Trip.com+1
Plan a flexible stop
- Wander with Kia recommended arriving earlier for a calmer visit and a wider pastry selection before items sell out. Treat that as one visitor’s advice, especially for a weekend, and leave some flexibility in your schedule rather than counting on an immediate table. Look at the available cakes and scones before committing to the flavours you saw online.Trip.com
