A hidden cafe frequent only by locals.
But recently got a lot in the news.
This cafe is owned by Jo In Sung's brother.
Used to be a fan of Jo In Sung (before his popularity boom thanks to "that's okay, it's love"), I decided to pop by the cafe when I was in the vicinity.
Jo In Sung's brother (pretty charismatic as well, i should say) is frequently at the cafe, so for those who are a major fan, these is probably the closest you can get to him.
The drinks a little on the pricer end but under 10,000won.
Understandable , as the cafe is situated in the area of the rich.
The cafe, as I was told only have 1 level. If you sit near the window, you can even see Namsan Tower.

| Latte Macchiato |
Coffee is not bad.
Comes with a complementary cube of chocolate.
Not much food choices, mostly drinks.

Takes a lot of trekking up and down.
I will advise travellers to take a cab up and then walk down instead.
Molly's Pops 몰리스팝스
I am a sucker for cold treats.
From macaron ice cream to popsicles to weird shaved ice.
There is nothing I have never tried yet.
So here I am, at Molly's Pop, satisfying yet another frozen craving of mine.
 |
| Small but cosy. |
 |
| Popsicle at 3,000won a pop. |
 |
| Wine & Strawberry ; Powdered Soybean |
While i did not pretty much enjoy my wine & strawberry because mainly, it does not have a wine taste nor did the frozen berries have much of a berry taste, it taste mostly my vanilla milk ice cream which is just disappointing to me.
My friend on the other hand, had the powdered soybean with bits of mochi inside and she throughly enjoy it.
Guess I just made a bad choice ~
Tuesday~ Sunday : 12:00 ~ 22:00

Having my office located is probably one of the best thing that happens to me.
There are a lot of artisan cafe around Hongdae and 16oz is one of the one that i passes by everyday on the way to work.
A really small (fits 12ppl max) but nice and cosy place.
The whole place smells really nice and buttery. ( They sell waffles too )
I came in for a drink, but I end up ordering ice cream.
 |
| Basic and good choices. |
 |
| w2,500 for double scoop ! - Strawberry ice cream! |
There was bits of strawberry in the ice cream, the ice cream did not disintegrate/melt fast.
Totally worth every 2,500won of it.
The cone ain't the sugar cone I like but pretty much the airy one that macdonald serves, but its still pretty okay.
I am gonna try the waffle next time, DONT STOP ME.
