📍corned e pepe Just being in this cute space is enjoyable! The food and drinks were delicious! However, the portions are larger than expected, so it's recommended for girls to share! You can eat indoors or in the garden outside. We ate indoors because it was hot, but as it gets cooler, eating in the garden is also recommended. 🍰🫖 I've also posted the menu, so be sure to check it out! If you're looking for a cafe in Seoul, definitely consider this one! ☕*° It's a 10-15 minute walk from Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station.

Good memories in here

Dongdaemun should be a must-see for tourists traveling to South Korea. There are many department stores and wholesale markets here, so many Korean purchasers or tourists come here to dig for treasures. The most famous landmark in Dongdaemun is Dongdaemun DDP Plaza, which retains some cultural heritage and holds a fashion week every year! #Korea #seoultravel #dongdaemun
