The Seoul city view is never dissapointing you. Recently I visited a newly opened cafe, called Seoulism which offer you breathtaking Lotte World Tower view from far away. I managed to come on a clear day which very lovely blue sky. The cafe is located 1km away from Jamsil Station where Lotte World Tower is, so you can see the super tall building, which is 550 m tall as the tallest building in South Korea, 5th in the world.

The cafe is located at 5th floor, contains of three main part, inside room, outside room (balcony) and rooftop with the “Seoul” famous sign. The interior design of the cafe is classsic as they put many vintage stuff to decorate the room.

The best part of a cafe is the spot for taking instagramable picture, isn’t it?

Moonella’s Pink Story in Seoul

Moonella and family came to Seoul for vacation! It’s such a very beautiful day which welcome their journey in Korea. The first episode of Moonella’s vacation in Korea is “Pink Story”. We went to the famous and “kekinian” cafe in Hongdae which all design is pink, Style Nanda Pink Cafe.

Arriate

This cafe is high likely the most favorit one among girls in entire Seoul. This cafe bring all the flowers and herbs into their cafe as the interior design. When you about to enter the cafe, the main entrance look like a door for flower shop since its decorated with many plants. This place is just a perfect place for everyone who like flowers and herbs where you can see in every corner and spot.

You can even purchase flower and herbs, either the fresh one or the dry one, as well as handmade accesories made from flowers.

One of the best spot of this cafe is the flower wall where you can have your instagram-worth picture, so beautiful.

This cafe is not only pretty in the interior design, but the drink is also amazing. I tried authentic earl-grey tea, and the taste was amazingly delicious, so natural and authentic. Look on how they plate the tea set.

*the Arriate cafe I visited is the Gangnam branch, they have another branch in Hongdae

Zapangi Cafe

Everyone must know the most famous vending machine in Korea. Eventually this vending machine is actually the main door of Zapangi Cafe which is so cute, unique, iconic, and instagram-worty. Even though the location of this cafe is somehow far from the main city area, but many people do visit this cafe to experience entering the inside of vending machine while taking picture beside the vending machine is a must.

Once you get inside the vending machine, you will see a simply minimalist-style interior of Zapangi Cafe with some pink color ornament as theit iconic color. The room is not that big, it’s on the first floor of apartment building in residence area. But when you have a really good concept and marketing of a cafe, people will definetly value it.

They dont have that many kind of menu, but most of them are so cute with some special detailed colorful ornament on the drink / cake. One of the most favorit one is Rainbow Sherbet with the colorful cream and unicorn cookie as topping.

The first recommended cafe to visit is Mahogani Cafe. The design of the building is so similiar to Innisfree House Cafe in Jeju Island. As soon as I enter the cafe, i was amazed by how cool, how peaceful the cafe is. You do not need to go far away to Jeju Island to feel the vibe of Jeju Island.

Even the drink use a really cute cup and glass. Second, the view is amazing, the best view among other cafes. If you come on sunset time, you will wonder why I like this cafe so much, because the sunset of this cafe is perfect. You can even go down, get closer to the sea to see the sunset.

Onion Cafe at Seongsu

My friend said this cafe looks like haunted house. First time I came here, oh yes I agreed with my friend. This cafe has a really unique and artistic interior design which makes it look like unfinished buildings with unpainted wall, brick wall, no celling- kinda interior. However, this is the main point which makes this cafe is pretty cool. You will feel like being at warehouse instead a cafe.

This cafe has some separated rooms which are the main room where you can order and buy bread and coffe, while other rooms are the seating room with chair and sofa. They also have outside seat on the 2nd floor, which is really cool but very hot during summer.

They also have bakery in this cafe which are also very good. The most favourite one is the bread which looks like a tower topped with white sugar.
