I have a lengthy list of cafes I’ve been eager to visit, especially since Covid. Although it’s challenging to check off all of them, I’ve made it a goal to try out as many as possible. For my final day of the trip, I typically prefer something more relaxed and straightforward—checking out of the accommodation, indulging in some random shopping, and of course, ending the day with a visit to a cafe.

Our first cafe visit turned out to have a two-hour wait, and it might even be longer! Since we have an evening cab ride to the airport, we’re already feeling pressed for time. It’s currently 3:30 pm.

Our second cafe visit didn’t provide any clarity on waiting times—everyone seems to have just gone ahead and ordered their meals. We’re next in line, but it’s hard to predict how long it will take. You know how Koreans can sit in cafes all day!

So, we decided to return to Pie in the Shop!

The posters make it very yummy!

it’s a slightly quiet day in the basement!

Yummy!

Tried this cheesecake tart this time. I actually prefer Strawberry White Blossom more!

Direction to PIE IN THE SHOP 파이인더샵

Actually you can walk from Hongik (Hongdae) Exit 9 to this Gyeongui Line Forest Park Exit 3. They are actually similar to interchange line, they are not exactly far apart too! Back then, many people always visit Hongdae for cafes. These days, many interesting one can be found at Yeonnam-dong which is located right here You can read this two that I have shared previously in my 2019 posts
