This place is very nice for late studying since they close later than most coffee shops. The photos need updating because the place did NOT look like the photos whatsoever. You can very much tell students love coming here due to the more quite atmosphere with many outlets, as well as spacious place. To a result, students stay here for many hours.
However, I don't intend to come here again.

For the interior of the cafe, it has very clean bathrooms and plenty of tables and chairs. All the tables near the wall had many outlets, which is hard to find in coffee shops. Wifi is ok, sometimes it stops working which can be a little annoying at times. There is NO AC, which makes it more hotter and humid inside. I would recommend coming here only during the winter. For the summer, I can not even imagine how that would be.

The menu is quite overwhelming and confusing, so it makes it intensely difficult to order. On top of that, drinks are outrageously expensive. While I love supporting small businesses and finding places to study, the drinks were NOT THAT GOOD to be that expensive. For the most part, I was paying for my time being spent at the cafe, as well as the seat I was occupying.

The cafe did not have THE cafe vibe you long for when studying. There was foldable chairs at most tables, as well as regular wooden ones. Yes they are somewhat comfortable, but they did not exert the type of feel you get at coffee shops.

The owner was friendly when I came in but, it definitely feels like a one man operation since drinks did take a little longer to make, which I don't mind.

If you love supporting small businesses and finding quite places to study, this is the place for you. The atmosphere is peaceful and delightful to get work done. There was even a little sign outside that said Good luck to everyone on exams, which was so cute. This place is very much intended for high school and college students to do assignments. I just would not come back since the menu isn't THAT good to come back again.

Stumbled upon this place by accident, and I really enjoyed my time here. The banana vanilla mocha is super delicious whether hot or iced (I prefer hot) and the food is really good. The owner is super sweet and puts a lot of care into the lattes. I got to practice my Korean with him and he was very nice about it. I really recommend this place :)
They like to rotate their menu every now and then to switch up the drinks! I really recommend their lemon cake as well! The tiramisu is good as well, but I would share it with about 3 people as the sweetness can be a little much for one or two people!
정말 감사합니다!

The food is so cute and really adorable, I didn't know until I got my drink, but there are cute drawings on the hot drinks. This is such a perfect place for a study date. Great options for drinks and food, all fairly affordable. The man who works here is super sweet and attentive. It has a very cozy atmosphere with cozy music. The bathroom is very clean, which I always appreciate. They also open late, underrated place for sure. :)))))

Awesome customer service!
I didn’t like my first drink and I asked if they could add more syrup since I couldn’t taste the toffee but they didn’t have anymore so they offered me a different drink instead. The second drink was definitely more flavorful.

They bring the drinks and food to your table, which I am not used when it comes to coffee shops so that’s definitely a nice touch.

Beware, the bathroom towel dispenser is a little loud. Not sure if that’s fixed or not but it sounded like someone was screaming 🤣. I found it funny personally so that’s doesn’t affect my rating but if you’re sensitive to loud sounds - it might be overwhelming.

If I’m not mistaken - the back of the receipt has the wifi info so you don’t need to ask about it. I didn’t test it out though so I could be mistaken.

Apparently couldn't be bothered to get inventory before opening. Supposed to open at 12 noon but couldn't figure all their stuff in the morning? They were still closed for almost (if not more than) 2 hours after they were supposed to be open.

Got an hour for lunch and I guess I had bad luck choosing to spend it here. Sign said they'd be back shortly, but ended up wasting the entirety of my lunch break.

I used to be a regular. I come back here after 7 years and this is what happens.

The drinks were delicious!!!, he even added a cute face+ first time trying ttebokki & it was sweet and spicy
The barista was so nice, and quick to bring out our order.
They should add an option to tip through card 🤗

This place is so great ! The coffee is yummy and the vibes are very chill and the man that was there was very kind to us 10/10 would go again

The main pictures of this place are not accurate to what the cafe currently looks like. The vibe and atmosphere are not cozy and well decorated like the pictures. The drinks for here are served in plastic and paper cups, not glass or ceramic. The tables and chairs vary between plastic white ones and wooden ones, it’s not cohesive. However, there were several people there working on laptops so the environment is definitely conducive to studying or quietly chatting with friends. Each drink is about $8.75 and up. There is free WiFi and a restroom for customers. They play nice relaxing classical and lofi music. The cashier seemed nice, but a little brash.

Absolutely the the atmosphere of the place and the owner is a really nice guy. I get overwhelmed when there is a lot on the menu and the gentlemen just suggested iced americano and really grateful he did that for me. 선택장애인데 도와 주셔서 감사합니다
