Great atmosphere and drinks here. I had the kahlua cream cake which was not too sweet and delicious.  I was served rather quickly but the place wasn't too busy when I visited.  Definitely a place I will come back too in the future.

We just had some refreshing lemonades (Ade) with herbs and dragonfruit based.
Excellent taste and refreshing on a sunny day. Relaxing easy jazzy music and kind of "hanok" style ambiente.
I can only recommend 🫰👍

This cafe has a great atmosphere and excellent strong coffee. They were playing jazz music on the cool vintage sound system when I visited. Clean, friendly, and plenty of room to sit when I visited on a Sunday morning (while there was a line to get into the American place next door).

I love when a cafe has plentiful seating, we were so lucky to catch this closer to their opening time so that I could take photos of most areas :)
