Korean Cafes

Nothing like having coffee with a theme.

I've seen cafes where you can pet dogs, cats, sheep, others with penguin, polar bear and zoo animals motif, others adorned with Hanbok customs, and dress up clothes, a camping concept, fish pedicure/spa, Charlie Brown, Rilakkuma, Hello-Kitty, Bill Cosby themed cafes.  

Puzzle Cafe small but great coffee and
about a dozen free small puzzles to put together
with your friend. Or you can purchase your own
 and keep returning in your free moments
and work on your larger puzzle. Fun, but I like puzzles.

 Located on on Wausan-ro 23-gil second floor.

Coffee Prince. Original place from the kdrama. 
But prices were so high
 I didn't stay to have coffee.

Coffee Cloud A coffee stand in a Hongdae, nice lady 
who runs the place and their flatccino's were great. 
I had the almond pistachio and another one a time 
earlier but can't remember the flavor but I liked it as well. Yum. 

My friend came back and had a sweet potato 
flavored latte and thought it was great. 
I guess you can't go wrong here.

Located close to exist 9 of Hongik University station line 2
on Wausan-ro 23-gil 

Hello kitty Cafe. Need I say more. So cute and bring a 
sharpie and leave your mark. Prices aren't to bad.

Located just off Eoulmandang-ro in Hongdae.

Paris Baguette ok coffee pretty standard. Nice pastries but 
items are out so late in the day. I kept having this feeling 
that my coffee was watching me. 

It's a big chain so they are everywhere. This one was located on Hongik-ro right outside the front 
gates of Hongik University. 

Zoo Coffee. Cute zoo theme.
Good coffee and good price for a waffle and coffee set. 

Located on Eoulmandang-ro in Hongdae exit 9 or 8 at
 Hongik University Station, line 2

Beans Bins in Hongdae. Strong coffee and some great
 looking waffles. Didn't have a chance to try them
 but will next time. 

Located on Hongik-ro 6-gil, Hongdae, 
exit 9 or 8 at Hongik University station line 2

Cube Cafe in Gangnum had a fun Kpop theme inside 
but the coffee wasn't that great.

 Located sort of near Apgujeong Station
 Line exist 1 or 2 

Brit's Farm Cafe in Hongdae. Good strong coffee and
a small but nice selection of pastries.

This second floor cafe is located of exit 9 line 2 

Hongik University station, Hongik-ro right outside 

the front gates of Hongik University.

Ann Doll Cafe, cute place and the coffee was good.
They also included a piece of cake with your 
coffee and it was yummy. You can see the 
large windows on the second floor from the street.
*Update - Summer 2015, The cafe still has the same name but the inside has been renovated to not look like a doll house. :(

Ann Doll Cafe; I believe it is located on Wausan-ro 21-gil
at the intersection of both Eoulmandang-ro and Hongik-ro 3-gil

One of the best coffees for the best price I had was straight outside of exit 1 at Ewha Women's University Station about a block and a half was this little metal box (almost like a newsstand) on the street close to the curb past TomTom Cafe. There was a women selling exotic coffee for 1,000 won about a $1.00. **And she was so nice to add cream to my Americano. 

Passion 5 cute pricey bakery in Itaewon.

Located near the Hangangjin Station exit 3. 

They state that there is usually 300-400 items to choose from.

Our group of four tried a few different items. My favorite was the large macron stuffed gelato sandwich 

** Most places do not have cream or milk out or available to add to your coffee in Korea. I think they expect you to order a latte or cappuccino if you want milk or cream.
