[Tips]

The crazy thing is because this cafe is pretty new (newly opened less than 1 months) so you might have to queue to visit this cafe. I queued for 1 hour before I can enter and experience the cafe. The cafe opens at 11.30am during weekday, but people already queue from 10.30am. Crazy! You also need to queue for trying the uniform. 181128KCCH-2493

[HowToGetThere]

Take subway and get off at Hongik University Station (Subway Line 2, Green). Take exit 9 (Walk from around 5 mins from the station).
Go straight until you see SPAO store in intersection, turn right, keep walking straight.

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.

[HowToGetThere]

Take subway and get off at Mangwon Station (line 6, brown)
As soon as you come out from exit 2, turn right and keep going straight for arounfd 200 m and the cafe will be on your left.

Style Nanda Pink Pool Cafe Hongdae

One of the most popular cafe recently in Seoul is Style Nanda Pink Pool Cafe. This cafe belongs to cosmetic brand 3ce which opened its first joint cosmetic store and cafe in Myeongdong. However, they also opened the second flagship store in Hongdae area, which is so much bigger and better. The first floor of the building is cosmetic section, while second and third floor is clothes section. Pink Pool Cafe is located on 4th floor. It is said Pink Pool Cafe because the cafe really have pink pool inside it. Moreover, no wonder the name is pink cafe because the main interior design color is pink for the wall and blue for the ceramics. If you manage to visit Hongdae, make sure to visit the flagstore which is only 10 mins walking away from Hongdae Subway Station.

This cute pretty cafe is just perfect location for taking insta-worthy picture. Here I had photo-session with some customer.

Cafe Yeonnam-dong 239-20

Seoul is never enough to offer you instagram-worthy places to visit such as Inside Comic Book – look alike cafe in Yeonnam-dong. The name is Cafe Yeonnamdong 239-20, which is the address of its cafe.

Just located 10 mins away walking from Hongdae station exit 3, this cafe offers you unique experience as you feel going inside a comic book when you enter the cafe building. The interior is only black and white color with hand-painted interior for doors, windows, tables, and chairs.

Just like other cafe, you can order various drinks such as coffee, tea, smoothies, juice, as well as cakes. My favourite one is their authentic ice milk tea, taste soo good, different with the milk tea you buy in gongcha.

The thing you can forget is taking photos with the concept of “being inside the comic book” such as popular Korean drama titled “W”. This time, I visited the cafe with Lee San, Malaysian friend who is also blogger and traveller like me. Check her blog here.

[HOWTOGETTHERE]

Take subway and get off at Hongdae Station, take exit 3
Going straight and take 2 o’clock direction on the first BIG 4-INTERSECTION
Going straight and take right on the next 4-INTERSECTION
Take left on the first 3-INTERSECTION
Keep going straight for 30m, and you will see the cafe on your left
