My first stop for the trip was at an official café. The previous day was filled with errands, during which my cousin and I did a lot of shopping and treated ourselves to a refreshing hair treatment, all to prepare for a great week ahead in Korea.
I was thrilled when this café opened in Itaewon. I wondered if the Itaewon branch was already crowded, so I opted to visit the newest outlet in Seoul – Seongsu.
When a café is popular and shared by many, you often wonder if it will be too crowded or overwhelming. Let’s see if you feel the same after reading this post!

HELLOSIHUI’S THOUGHTS:
Give the butterslab croissant a try; it’s incredibly delicious! This cafe stood out as everyone’s favorite during the trip. Initially, I had low expectations, but it exceeded them by far. The coffee they serve is also excellent.
HELLOSIHUI’S TIPS:
