We had a break after walking in the Hongdae Shopping street in this lovely cafe. The cafe was great and the staff there were so helpful and friendly. We ordered via machine since we're paying by card and we ordered strawberry bingsu, waffle chocolate, waffle with ice cream and also lemon tea. Their service was tiptop, reasonable waiting time and great food. Maybe a suggestion if they can also provide some options for vegans.

They have two lovely sheeps at the front of their cafe. You are welcome to enter the area if you buy something from the cafe and get to take photos and play with the sheeps in the area. The sheeps are very well mannered and cute.

There's a toilet at the back of the cafe with cute keys that can be found in the basket in the cafe.

My wife and I have frequented this cafe several times over the years while on vacation in Korea. They have two adorable sheep that welcome visitors who appreciate these charming animals. We absolutely adore their waffles and coffee. The menu has a delightful range of options, but we always find ourselves drawn back to those perfectly crisp waffles, topped with fresh fruit and a drizzle of sweet syrup.

The sheep are quite the entertainers, often seen playfully interacting with guests, adding a unique touch to the cafe experience. It's not just a place to grab a bite; it's a little haven where we can unwind and enjoy the simple pleasures of life. Whether we're sipping on a rich cappuccino or indulging in a decadent dessert, each moment spent there is cherished and makes our vacation even more memorable.

Cute sheep. Yummy waffles.
It’s cool how it is right by the side of a busy city street. No entrance fee. You just need to be a buying customer to pet the sheep.

Bingsu was a bit melted but otherwise good flavour. Staff were very nice and friendly.
There's two sheep outside which gave some nice vibes.
