About

Cozy pet-friendly neighborhood cafe nestled inside Dongbu Market near Jungnang Station, serving freshly baked egg tarts, butter tteok, and coffee.

Tucked into the busy hum near Jungnang Station and Dongbu Market, The Origin is the kind of understated neighborhood sanctuary that slips effortlessly into daily routines. It is not an overstimulating pet cafe, but rather a clean, calm, and welcoming coffee spot that graciously allows four-legged companions to sit right beside their owners. For locals dodging a rainy afternoon or designers needing an unhurried corner to organize their planners, the intimate space offers a quiet, unpretentious retreat. The cafe’s baked goods counter consistently rewards those stopping in for a quick pause. The defining draw is the egg tart—a neighborhood favorite wrapped up with a cheerful orange dog sticker if you arrive later in the day. Golden-brown salt bread (*sogeum-ppang*) pairs cleanly with an iced Americano for a straightforward midday break, while rich slices of strawberry chocolate cake, accented by a single bright red berry against dark cocoa layers, cater to deeper sweet cravings. On the display, fluffy cheesecakes sit near coveted trays of *butter-tteok*—a chewy, baked butter rice cake with deeply toasted edges and a dense, sweet, golden center. Because these house-made treats sell out quickly, evening visitors often find the trays swept bare, turning popular items into elusive afternoon prizes. What anchors The Origin is its effortless hospitality. The owner provides a genuinely warm presence, keeping fresh water ready for visiting pets and maintaining a tidy, comfortable setting where customers can unwind without the pressure of rushing. Free of gimmicks, it is a genuine local haunt: a peaceful spot to sip a balanced iced coffee, carve out a moment of stillness, and treat a faithful companion to an afternoon outing off the main market drag.
