I especially liked the calming atmosphere. It is a great place if you like peaceful cafes that look aestheticly pleasing! I tried the lemon cake and maple French toast. The lemon cake was very rich in flavour which I was surprised by. The French toast was by far my favourite! It's a must try when you go there. The taste is immaculate. Friendly staff aswell.

Super cute cafe, popular with young girl crowds. The cookie was decent, the lemon cake was rather photogenic, definitely a nice spot for instagram and selfies! The beverage seems to be another must try item, however the coffee was pretty blend so no need to come for the coffee itself.

Very nice cafe in the heart of Mapo-gu. The coffee - I had a flat white - tasted great and scone plate was very nice. The rooftop terrace is a wonderful place to hang out on a sunny spring afternoon as we had today. I loved the design of the whole place, very stylish. Rather crowded though.

Very much a girly place. Seating available inside, outside, and on roof top. Their signature coffee, triple crunch (6500 KRW) is a bit too sweet but thick with flavor. Latte (5500 KRW) was also decent.
