So here's another cafe to put on your list if you're in Seoul.  Coffee+flowers+desserts+brunch+Linus' southern smoked bbq pork!!!   

The first Bloom & Goûté was off of the main Garosugil street for years-this is their new location which is one street over that recently opened this summer, still in Sinsa-dong.  For those familiar with Garosugil/Sinsa-dong area, you will notice that there have been some major changes in the last few years.  Quite different from when I lived there a few years ago. The local, artsy, boutique cafes are slowly disappearing, and the big brother is taking over the whole block!  Ugh. However, the previous owners will not put their guard down...instead they seem to relocate their business near there for their loyal customers.  Bloom & Goûté is just one of those cafes.  Similar to their first location, they have a flower shop inside the cafe, as well as a good selection of desserts and coffee.  I actually prefer their new location, as the interior is done well, and there is a huge improvement on their savory menu.  Their savory menu only provides brunch, but the best part about it is that their croque monsieur & the eggs benedict has my good friend Linus' smoked pork! Ok, I checked this cafe out for this very reason.  Never would have come up with southern style (Alabama that is) smoked pork with melted gruyere & parmesan cheese in a sandwich!  You may have heard of Linus' famous smoked bbq in Seoul, doing pop-up's and catering events...I will be doing a follow up post about his goods.
