A Letter to the Future Over Vegan Pastries
After spending the morning walking through Gyeongbokgung Palace in rented hanboks, we weren’t expecting the day to get any better. But a quiet little side street changed everything. That’s where we found Nuldam Space, a vegan café that’s so much more than just a coffee shop. It ended up being one of our favorite stops in all of Seoul.
Write a Letter to Your Future Self
For about ₩5,000 (around $3.50 USD), Nuldam gives you a little package with a postcard, an envelope, sealing wax, and a cozy seat by the window or upstairs. You take a moment to write a letter to your future self or to someone you love, seal it, and hand it back. Then you pick a date up to one year later and they’ll mail it for you.
Yes, international shipping is included.
It’s quiet, reflective, and a little emotional in the best way. It feels like sending a time capsule to yourself. Something that brings your trip full circle in a really meaningful way.
Flaky Vegan Croissants That Actually Sell Out
Let’s talk about the pastries.
The vegan croissants here are incredible. Buttery, flaky, and rich without being heavy. We shared one almond cream croissant and instantly regretted not getting more. By the time we went back to order another, most of the pastries were already gone.
They also offer croffles which are croissant waffles in flavors like chocolate, black sesame, and vanilla cream. These sell out fast, so go earlier in the day if you want the best selection.
Drinks are just as good. From plant-based lattes to herbal teas, the menu hits all the right notes.
Three Levels and a Rooftop View
Nuldam Space has more room than it looks from the street.
There are three floors with a mix of open tables, cozy corners, and bright windows. If you’re lucky, you can grab a spot on the rooftop. It’s the perfect place to relax after a long day of exploring. Quiet, breezy, and just far enough from the noise of the city.
We found ourselves sitting upstairs, tucked away in a peaceful corner. Everyone around us seemed to be journaling or writing their own letters. It felt like a place where people go to recharge.
A Perfect Stop Near Gyeongbokgung Palace
If you’re already exploring Gyeongbokgung Palace or Bukchon Hanok Village, Nuldam Space is just a short walk away. It’s the kind of spot that makes you feel like a local for an hour or two. No rush. No noise. Just good food, a quiet seat, and something meaningful to do.
It’s an easy addition to your day and a memorable one.
Why We Keep Coming Back
Every time we visit Korea, we make a point to come back here. My wife Monica loves her drinks and the calm energy of the place. I love the croissants, the rooftop, and the letter-writing experience. It never disappoints.
It’s rare to find a café that checks so many boxes. Fully plant-based, beautifully designed, peaceful, and thoughtful. Whether you’re vegan or not, Nuldam Space is worth a visit. It’s different in all the best ways.
