A unique and stylish cafe created by renovating an old building.

This coffee shop now has several branches and has gained popularity through its unique and sophisticated design and atmosphere, as well as collaborations with various cultural and artistic styles.

This store is located in Seochon, west of Gyeongbokgung Palace. It’s said to have been renovated from an old post office building. Perhaps because of its popularity, there were many people waiting outside.

Although the interior of the building was completely demolished, the building itself seemed to be still in use. There were tables with a retro feel, and a DJ often played there.

They also sold a variety of desserts. I ordered the signature dish, camel coffee.

After you place your order, you can pick it up here.

It was a rich, sweet, and pleasant coffee with cream. But honestly, Korean coffee has become so standardized these days that it wasn’t the kind of taste that made me want to come back for more.

There are seats on the second floor, but because it was a holiday, there were so many people that there were no seats available.

The atmosphere was nice and the coffee was delicious. However, I was curious about how they became so famous and how they marketed it. I heard the owner is a famous influencer 🤣
