    No lie, the choc croissant here might be the best I've ever had. And I've had many croissants in my day. Unexpectedly wonderful

    The wait here can be long because the place is short staffed. A lot of seating is available, but because of its popularity it's usually packed. Wait if you will, but there are cafes with similar menus

    Lots of space to work and study. Also has mochi which I have wanted to have for so long. Warmer upstairs when it’s cold

    Get the green tea or mango shaved ice, it’s best for two people to share. https://www.instagram.com/p/ByjXsLBj9j4/?igshid=uhsod6zsksk8

    Lots of interesting drinks to try. I get the hot grain drink with soy. It taste like ground up Honey Nut Cheerios. Yummmm

    The employees aren’t really that nice here. There’s a woman at the front cashier, and she is/was incredibly short and dismissive. Kind of sad as you try to support more businesses post Covid.

    Had a shot of macchiato☺, yogurt w/ strawberry waffle😋, and misugaru toast😋. Try out Beans Bins if you ever have a chance to visit Korea! I like their waffles more than Caffe Bene's! 😋

    They forgot my order and continued to ignore me even though I stood waiting to ask about my iced decaf americano. They also forgot the green tea bingsoo and only made it when I pointed it out. Rude

    Good bubble tea, but the tapioca balls were a mite chewier/gummier than I like.

    Misugaru Snowflake was too sweet and I really missed the original misugaru snowflake in Dongsoong-Dong.

    Try Thai bubble tea, especially if you like Thai iced tea. Unfortunately they ran out of bubbles and I had bubbleless which they charged the same price :/

    Watermelon bubble tea was very artificially flavoured and expensive.

    Be sure to ask if they actually have all the ingredients for ___ menu item before placing an order. They're bad about not having something and making the dish anyway.
