Patmiok's (팥미옥) chocolate snowflake bingsu (초코 눈꽃빙수), one of the great bingsu cafe in Seoul.

Chocolate Snowflake Bingsu

March 10, 2016 by greysuitcase in Cafe, Seoul, South Korea

Patmiok's (팥미옥) version of chocolate snowflake bingsu (초코 눈꽃빙수) is my favorite chocolate bingsu that I've tasted so far. The thing about it is that it's not overly too sweet and those really crunchy chocolate toppings are just delicious. They also offer two different serving sizes for your order that you can choose from—1 person or 2 persons (1인/2인) serving. This location that I visited is the one located in Sinchon (신촌) area, but they have multiple locations all over Seoul so you can find them in different neighborhoods as well. I would definitely recommend this bingsu, especially if you are a fan of chocolate.

5Extracts

January 27, 2016 by greysuitcase in Cafe, Seoul, South Korea

It's been a while since my last post. The end of 2015 and the first couple of weeks of 2016 were hectic. With family matters to attend to and traveling for winter break, I had to put a pause to update this blog. Now that I'm back, I'm slowly starting to catch up on back logged pictures and actually have time to edit again. So expect more posts coming your way soon :) 

For my first post in 2016, visited 5Extracts (파이브익스트랙츠) in Hongdae (홍대) with Soo Zee for an impromptu coffee session. Have been hearing about how good the coffee selection is at this place, but never actually been here before, since I don't drink coffee and all. But since Soo Zee suggested the place, we went. The place is actually pretty cozy. Not too big, not too small, and it was pretty quite, which is kinda nice so you don't have to scream at your friends when you talk them. But then again, I came on a weekday night, so things might be different on weekends. Anyways, definitely go try this place out if you want a good cup of coffee around Hongdae.

ps: Hope everybody is having a great first month of the year! Can't believe January is almost over.

Seoul Cafe Series: Ikovox Coffee (이코복스) in Itaewon (이태원), Seoul, South Korea.

Ikovox Coffee

June 27, 2015 by greysuitcase in Cafe, Seoul, South Korea

A strong smell of coffee immediately greeted me as soon as I stepped into this place. I guess it's a good thing since it is a coffee shop after all. Went to Ikovox Coffee (이코복스) in Itaewon (이태원) by the recommendation of Soozee, who said they have good coffee and good vibes here, which were true. The space is small, a little dark with hints of afternoon light coming through the windows here and there. Two gentlemen talking in the middle of the room, another gentleman was sitting on the counter waiting for his order, and the one that we sat next to was working on his laptop. I think this is a good place to chill, catch up with friends, or simply to read a book. Although when we were about to leave, the place suddenly got really busy, people were waiting for tables and looking for empty chairs. I think it's a weekend thing.

Cafe YLab

May 16, 2015 by greysuitcase in Cafe, Seoul, South Korea

If you're a fan of coffee, cakes, vinyl toys and mangas, Cafe YLab (와이랩) is probably paradise for you. Although comic books cafe is pretty common in Seoul cafe scene, this was my first visit to one. Ended up to this place after walking around Hapjeong (합정) neighborhood (as always) and accidentally saw their banner in front of the entrance. The one thing that made me want to actually go into the cafe was to see that huge Iron Man statue that stand next to the entrance. Pretty awesome right? Cafe YLab is pretty cozy and a perfect place to study or work if you're looking for a quite place but not as quite as the library. They have pretty good drinks and cakes and lots of mangas (most of them are in Korean and Japanese only). They also decorated the place with collections of vinyl toys that are spread all over the cafe. The cafe actually has 2 floors, but I didn't manage to go upstairs to check out the space. Maybe for my next visit.

Seoul Cafe Series: Take Out Drawing Cafe (테이크아웃드로잉 카페), Seoul, South Korea.

Take Out Drawing Cafe

April 15, 2015 by greysuitcase in Cafe, Weekend, Seoul, South Korea

Take Out Drawing Cafe (테이크아웃드로잉 카페) is one of the places in my want-to-visit-cafes-in-Seoul list. I've seen some cool photos online and thought it's an interesting space. So, after our lunch at Plant, we made our way to this place to check it out. Apparently they have two locations, which I didn't know. The location we went to is the Noksapyeong (녹사평) branch and they have another one in Itaewon (이태원) (I think). The cafe was just okay. We went there on a Saturday so there were lots of people and the place was pretty full. We ordered their most-instagrammed drink, which I forgot what the name is, and according to my coffee-drinker friends, it wasn't that good. It just looks good :) Anyway, I think the other location might have better interior design, so I probably gonna try to go to the other location some other time.
