The used light is warm tone, making the room relaxing and good for resting your eyes while having snacks here. However, there were not many people on this floor when we visited the shop, hence the heater was not turned on. It felt a little cold.

The hottest spot would probably be the seat next to the window as the lighting is perfect! I am pretty sure that the photographs of desserts and portraits will be perfect here! However, we suggest that you should move after finishing your photo time, since it is too hot due to the sunlight

Plus, there is also a rooftop which opens until 6 PM. Hence, if you would like to just chill out up there and taking chic photos, better arrive here early (the candid pose while opening the door would be kinda cute too^^).

The dome house is not just only for decoration. But, you can actually get in and have a chill talk with your friends. It could be a nice choice for spending time with your friends as it is quite private and isolated.

The first menu we ordered is 'Apple Lime Soda' 7,000 KRW. Before you drink it, please stir it well. If not, you will end up drinking it with the messed up taste. The bottom is lemon and the above is apple. So refreshing!

Next, we ordered 'Strawberry Latte' 7,000 KRW. This is a seasonal menu which is a must for Winter! Also, please mix it well before you drink it. The strawberry is super fresh and cool, which combines really well with milk.

'Walnut Choco Cookie' 4,000 KRW - this cutie smiled at me while I was ordering food. I could not help but bought it LOL The taste from chocolate, walnut, and cookie mixing together was so mellow. Not only it is lovable, it is also savoury.

Last but not least, 'Lemon cake' 3,000 KRW is the most famous menu of this cafe. As the packaging is so adorable~ the sour taste and lemon lovers will absolutely like it! I recommend you to try it with sweet drinks.
