I’ve had my eye on this place for months.
How could I not? Every time I ride past it on a Friday night I see couples sitting in cute little booths, sharing a laugh over dessert, and it just looks so pink and sparkly from the outside.
I’m not the kind of girl who drags the boy on all these girly dates (really!), but this was too good to pass up. I mean, it’s so…Korean. Let’s call it a cultural experience. A study on dating and romance in Korea. A journalistic exposé on – okay, who am I kidding, I just wanted to eat cake in a pink doll house.
Warning: This video comes with a heavy dose of goofiness, a lesson on Korean posing, and it may leave you craving an Oreo chocolate milkshake.
We were greeted by men in white button-down shirts and aprons (and pants of course, they weren’t just wearing aprons…), and were then ushered into our own private booth. Korean love songs played in the background, many of which I knew after close to 8 months in the country.
Walking into our alcove was like setting foot in Barbie’s living room – antique white sliding doors with frosted window panels, veil-like curtains, a pink glass chandelier, cream coloured sofas with coral flowers, and more pink flowers on the wallpaper. The whole time I kept thinking, “I should have worn a dress. I should have worn a dress!” I’m surprised the boy didn’t bolt for the door! (Psst, I’m convinced he secretly enjoyed it.)
The waiter left us me giddy in the room with a pink leather menu to look over. A little bell at the table allowed us to call him when we were ready to order our desserts. While they had sandwiches and a few select lunch dishes on the menu, it was the lattes, ice creams, cakes, and milkshakes that really stood out. This is place to get your sugar fix! We ordered a slice of cheesecake and an Oreo chocolate milkshake that I am still fantasizing about – I could taste the Oreo cookie crumbs, people! And as you can probably tell from the video, I hardly shared.
So if you find yourself in Korea, drag your man out to a doll cafe, and maybe wear a cute dress. These cafes can be found all over the city, and our outing only came up to 10,000 원, which is less than 10 USD.
Oh my god. Korea. I MISS IT SO MUCH! 😉
Idunnoooo…Tbilisi sounds pretty exciting. 😉
Ha – this place is nuts! It’s like a nightmare I had once – I’d definitely have bolted for the door.
Glad you enjoyed it though 🙂
Was it the pink or the floral that did you in? 😉
Cute cafe! Fun video! I feel so hungry now.
Haha, glad you like our silly video. 🙂
He definitely enjoyed it…!
He doesn’t hide it well, does he? 😉
Who wouldn’t want to eat in Barbies living room? I’m sure he enjoyed it 😉
Haha, isn’t that every 9 year-old-girl’s fantasy?! 😉
Omg! I’ve seen these and always wanted to go! Love love love!
I think I could turn this into a regular outing once it’s too cold to be wandering the town. 😉
Audrey, great to see you support Sam linking to his feminine side. Diggin’ your sense of adventure.
Oh yeahhh 😉 haha
Hahaha. His face is priceless.
But, seriously, I definitely want some cheesecake now. Hahaha.
Haha, thanks. No good cheesecake in Mexico, eh? 😉
Love the goofy video! Will check it out if I visit Korea!
Yes, there are lots of those to be found in the cities. 😉
Seriously Korea is one of my favorite place and I’ve been planning for to go there from last six months. But didn’t get the proper time because of my busy scheduled.
I hope you get to visit soon! The country is full of surprises. 🙂
that’s a cool looking booth! However, I think that café is a bit pricey. $10 for a milkshake and a slice of Korean cheesecake? Hmmm… maybe Korea is simply more expensive than I thought. Cost of living seems to be very close to the US’, not any cheaper

Haha, kawai indeed! 😉
Nice vid guys. Imma try the “oh we have to do this girly thing because we’re going to make a vlog about it” trick on Steve! Thanks for the idea!
PS There is a packet of Oreos on the bench. I needed an excuse to open them. Thank you…
