Hot and New in Seongsu: Super Iyaya Open Now!
As a local who knows every hidden corner of Seongsu–dong, I am so excited to introduce a brand-new, piping-hot cafe that just opened!
It’s Super Iyaya Seongsu, which officially opened its doors on March 20, 2026.
(This place is such a piping-hot, brand-new cafe that it hasn’t even been updated on Google Maps yet!
I’ll share the Google Maps link right here as soon as it gets registered, so be sure to check back for your next visit!)
You might already know the brand Iyaya & Friends for their premium, high-quality Greek extra virgin olive oil. While the ingredients are top-notch, it was actually their incredibly cute and artistic character packaging that first stole my heart.
I’ve spent so much time admiring their adorable merchandise, buying them for myself, and giving them as gifts to my loved ones. It has always been a brand very close to my heart.
The Thrill of the Find: Walking the Streets of Seongsu
When a brand that you hold so close to your heart opens a physical cafe, you simply can’t stay away! As someone who loves Iyaya & Friends, I just had to see their new offline space with my own eyes.
I set off on a little adventure, walking through the charming, winding alleys of Seongsu-dong to find this hidden gem.
Pita Bread Sandwiches at Super YiaYia
I didn’t have any trouble finding it! Before even stepping inside, a super cute menu board greeted me, giving a sneak peek of what to expect.
They serve sandwiches made with fresh Pita Bread. True to the brand’s healthy lifestyle motto, the sandwiches looked incredibly wholesome and full of fresh ingredients.
Fast Service and Hidden Charm at Super YiaYia
The branding here is incredibly cute! From the aesthetic interior to the unique packaging, everything is so Instagrammable.
I ordered through a kiosk and took a seat. The service was incredibly fast! While I was waiting, I couldn’t help but notice that delivery orders were rolling in non-stop. Wow, they really are getting super hot right now!
As I looked around the cafe while waiting for my food, I even spotted a super cute dog(?) It added such a fun and cozy charm to the atmosphere.
The Verdict: Wholesome and Delicious Pita Sandwiches
My orders arrived in no time! True to the brand’s healthy lifestyle philosophy, these Mediterranean-style pita sandwiches were a treat both for the eyes and the palate.
Their signature pita pocket sandwiches are packed with fresh ingredients and have the most amazing chewy texture.
They use a clean, traditional pita bread made without butter or preservatives. Inside, it’s packed with fresh ingredients like tender chicken and crisp greens, making it incredibly satisfying yet light on the stomach. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients! It’s the perfect guilt-free, delicious meal for a busy day exploring Seongsu.
Dreaming of Greece: From Seongsu to the Mediterranean
Enjoying such a delicious Mediterranean-style sandwich got me wondering how amazing the food must be in Greece itself! I already love Greek yogurt, Greek salad, and premium olive oil.
Unfortunately, it’s not very easy to find authentic Greek restaurants in Korea unless you visit specific areas like Itaewon. I wish we had more accessible options to enjoy this wonderful cuisine in our daily lives!
Tasting the authentic flavors of Greece right in the country is definitely at the top of my travel bucket list. Until that dream comes true, I’m so glad I have this little slice of the Mediterranean right here in Seongsu to keep me inspired.
Treating Myself to a Wholesome Lunch
I can already tell that I will be a frequent visitor here, even when I’m alone.
On this very first visit, I brought a book with me to enjoy a quiet lunch. I was able to read a few pages while eating my sandwich in peace. This focused, quiet hour made me feel like I was filling both my body and mind with nourishing, healthy energy. It was exactly the kind of restorative time that makes me feel like myself again.
I truly believe that eating healthy, good food is one of the best ways to treat yourself with respect.
Inspired by this experience, I want to introduce even more wholesome and healthy Korean dishes to you all in my future posts!
And by the way…If you’re looking for a trendy yet delicious lunch in Seongsu-dong, Super Yia Yia is the absolute perfect spot !
Wishing You a Healthy Week Ahead
With that, I’m heading off to wrap up my week! Let’s all rest well and recharge so we can welcome the brand-new week with healthy, positive energy!
