Min and i spent about…3 hours or so in this cafe catching up. We had a really good time.

  31. min says:

    That cafe we went to is called “?? ???” (Cham sae Bang hut Kaan – means Sparrow’s Mill) and it was at SamChung Dong. :-)

    When you come back, lets go there again. I like their coffee.

  32. E says:

    I’m so jealous! I wish we had cute lil cafes like Asia. I think the cafes around my area are all hippie-ish. Blah…

    I was going to ask you a question about the Sakura tea. Is it good? Worth buying? I found it in a store the other day, but it’s like 10 dollars for a small lil can. I really want to try it , but I dont want to use too much Honey as a sweetener.

  33. akisa love says:

    oh I wish I knew about this cafe when I went to Insadong last year! Instead I went to a tea shop with unique wooden chairs & tables. The pine tea was good but no interesting menu..

  34. Lisa says:

    Banana Milk rocks! But how come it comes in a bowl? Are you suppose to slurp it?

  35. Veronica says:

    Your photos are great! When we visit Nagoya, we’ll have a layover in Seoul – can’t wait!!!

  36. jac says:

    Love the cafe. It looks so interesting

  37. Kendall says:

    Wow what a fun unique place. Different than the usual Starbucks. I wouldn’t be able to study there, I would be staring at the walls trying to read all of the notes. That waffle looked YUMMY!!!
    XoXo

  38. jewels says:

    that waffle look so yummi

  39. angie says:

    All we have are trendy cafes, or coffee house chains here. I wish we had cute, unique cafes like those you find in Korea!

    Banana milk?! Yummmm!

  40. mayaari says:

    what a cute little cafe – if I could read the notes I’d probably sit there all day to read them :) definitely seems like a nice place to visit

  41. Seems you spent a great time :)
