Often, when people think of cafes, they think of quiant little shops where couples, families, and friends can drink coffee, eat sandwiches, and have a few pasteries. This is such a place. Adorned with a diverse selection of ornaments, Buccella provides you a range of visual satisfaction while you have delicious sandwiches!
A poster, posted at the enterance, implies what Buccella pursues: a comfortable place for anyone, anytime. The atmosphere is relaxed, allowing the patron to also relax and enjoy the drinks and sandwiches.
If you look around the venue, you will see that the basement has a bar-like atmosphere, the second floor has a dining atmosphere, and the third floor has a work atmosphere. It is an added three layers of charm that Buccella provides.
The Tender Beef Sandwhich (9,300KRW) is served with a reasonable amount of salad and ciabatta bread for a bun. The ciabatta is soft and has a light taste. If you ask for extra ciabatta bread, the servers provide you ciabatta rolls as a side dish. The recommended sandwiches besides the tender beef sandwich are Vegetarian Sandwich (8,800KRW) and Salmon Sandwich (9,300KRW). However, almost any sandwich here is good.
In addition to the unique sandwiches, Buccella occasionally displays delicate works from artists from around the Hongdae area which is known for its progressive nature, art, and culture.
