Coffee was nothing special, but I didn‘t get to try the food. Cozy interior but very loud despite not being full. Staff were not exactly trying to be friendly but weren‘t rude either, which I‘m fine with.

Food mediocre, Ddubbokki is way overpriced. The woman at the cashier is incredibly rude, giving me a 'why are you here bothering me' look as soon as I walked in. Shoud've read other reviews about the owner's rudeness and food quality before making my way here. What a waste of my time and money - I tossed the frozen food quality sandwich in the trash.

The staff seems mad and annoyed of taking our order. They need training in customer service urgently

true hidden gem on campus. both amazing as a cafe/study spot and a restaurant! they serve a wide variety of cuisines and dishes, but the rosé tteokbokki is the one i always go for :)

as others have mentioned, the tteokbokki is fantastic. This used to be my go-to place for studying before I graduated. Service is a little 50-50, depends on who’s working. Prices are also a little expensive. But it’s generally a nice space to chat with friends or sit and get some work done.

Lovely space but I wish the food and drinks were better.

I've been here many times and really enjoyed my Mochas and Cappuccinos. Yesterday was a low that will keep me away for good. Order was prepared in to-go cups even though we planned to stay and enjoy our mugs. The drinks were just poured in like I can do at home, with no beautiful presentation. As another poster mentioned, Matcha latte appeared like a mix, which separated out after a few minutes. Most unpleasant of all, my group was trying to have a nice conversation, but at 4:30 (Well before closing time of 7pm) staff began to clear up all tables, chairs, etc while making as much noise banging things around as possible as if a signal for us to leave. We moved outside.

Matcha latte and Americano were strange. Matcha latte just tastes like store bought dissolvable matcha sugar mix and the Americano had some astringent flavours. Maybe the cappuccino is better?

This place is lovely. Totally don't get the reviews about bad coffee or rude staff.... I've been here twice and have been really pleased both times.

The owners/staff are super friendly and polite. The coffee is good - I don't expect a gourmet cafe with house-roasted beans here. The food was nice, best you can find in the area for sure.

I always have great experience with cafes with Korean owners, THEY KNOW HOW TO CAFE. This one is no different. Will continue to return.

Haven't even touched on the cozy, quiet, and warm atmosphere!
