A cafe a day...

Makes for a really good week. :D

Sunday: First up is Cafe Da, in a little neighborhood by Yeokchon station.

Such a small, cute, comfy interior.

It's near Changyong's house, so we came here a couple of times.

Monday: Next is Cafe Namu (which means tree in Korean), located in Sinchon by the U-Plex big red mirror thing. It is on the 2nd and 3rd floors, and somehow manages to escape the noise and bustle happening right outside.

Why didn't I come here to study more often? Next time...

Tuesday: This place is Cafe Nostalgia, which is in Hapjeong down cafe street, which you can find if you use exit 5. So many cafes to choose from, but this one is quiet and cozy.

I didn't get a shot of the interior, as I didn't want other guests to think I was taking pictures of them, but it was nice inside too.

Wednesday: One of my all-time favorites is in Edae, called Cafe Noriter (노리터). I don't know what that means, but this place has great drinks, cute decor, and did I mention cute booths that you can sit on the floor in? Yes, it has that, so you feel like you're in your own little cubby/fort/treehouse/etc. It's the best. It's also located in a little side street building on the 2nd and 3rd stories of a building that looks completely sketchy, but just trust me on this one.

4 of us fit comfortably with our computers and bags, where we settled in to create our final presentations and study for our final exams.

This one had string curtains, giving you a feeling of privacy.

My dear, lovely friends - Lyza Bee, Greta, and Maren.

Yeah, I know you can see through it, but let's pretend we can't.

The window art was amazing. I kept getting distracted from studying by just looking around.

Even the napkins are adorable.

The drinks were amazing. I got the Oreo milkshake on the bottom, topped with oreo dust and an entire cookie.

Look at the sides of the cups! You'd better believe I didn't stop at "remember" - I drank all the way down past "love"!

This poster was above the toilet. It reads: Circus Boy Band Sings Underground and Plays the Various Colors. Yup.

There was a travel wall complete with cute luggage.

These are the booths on the second floor.

Even going up the stairs was cute.

It's too cute!

The only thing that gave me pause was this poor little hostage rabbit in the corner of the walkway by the booths on the 2nd floor. Why yes, it is tied up with tape over its mouth. Should I have notified someone?

Hot air balloon lantern...I can't even...

Studying selfie

I admit I was both excited and mad to see this sign, because it mentioned Salt Lake City, which is my airport, but then that also reminded me that I had to leave in a few days. Grrr...

Thursday: This next one, Cafe Conan, was an empty little place we stumbled upon in Hongdae. Nobody was there when we came, but a few small groups trickled in after us. We had the back room to ourselves, though. There was so much stuff, even the bathroom was covered in cute stickers - a little much, to be honest.

Cozy back room.

Really quaint, the seating is harder than it looks though. You're pretty much sitting on a wooden plank with a blanket over it.

Good company for the evening.

Yoshi decided to join us.

Friday: Another cafe in Hongdae, Cafe Zara. Their tarts and brownies looked delicious, though we didn't sample any that night. They had a lot of really nice teas, though.

Cinnamon ginger tea on the left and yuza tea (유자차) on the right.

Saturday: On my last day before I had to go to the airport, I went out to brunch with my 3 German friends again in Edae to cafe7gram.

The gelato honey bread here was incredible. Stops your heart, but at least you'll die happy.

Lyza Bee, at home in a cozy cafe.

Greta, instagramming away, I'm sure.

Dear, dear Maren! I like your face.

Sorry this is sideways, but I had to include the decor on the tables.

What cute cafes!!! Why can't we have some like that? It would be hard not to like the food in such cute surroundings! I'm sure that it didn't hurt to have good friends with you in the cafes.
