Bread Comma 빵꼼마 - Yeonnamdong Hongdae 연남동 홍대

Check out My Youtube Channel!

Bread Comma despite the ridiculous name is a really cool cafe that is located in Hongdae's Yeonnamdong.  Yeonnamdong is a really cool growing area with a ton of cool restaurants, cafes and bars.  You should definitely check out this area is you have not already.

Bread Comma has two locations that are right near each other.  The first location is a book cafe that has books all over the wall and tons of space.  This is one of the widest cafes that I have ever seen.  It is a cool atmosphere as does the one that is right down the street.  The second one has really high ceilings and a second floor where they sell specialty teas.

The thing that really stands out about Bread Comma is the cakes which are absolutely delicious.  I have had the tiramisu, the grapefruit cheesecake and the chocolate brownie and all are absolutely delicious.  These are for people with a real sweet tooth as I do.  They do not hold back on the sugar in this place and that is just the way I like it.

Come check out this cafe and have a couple of the cakes the next time you are in Yeonnamdong.

Aloha Jenny 알로하제니 - Hawaiian Cafe in Hongdae 홍대

Check out My Youtube Channel!

Aloha Jenny is a tiny little Hawaiian style cafe with a really cool atmosphere.  This place gets a ton of light due to having huge windows and the interior is decorated with all kinds of Hawaiian style items.  The tables look like something you might find on the beach and have brightly colored flower leis on them.  There are surfboards, flamingos, dolls and other brightly colored items covering the walls.  The counter is covered with sand and there is a pink ukulele.  There are also fern trees in the corners and they play some pretty cool music.  The atmosphere is really cool in this place.

I ordered the mango apple aide and was not disappointed.  It was actually surprisingly good and had a ton of flavor.  I am not exactly sure what all went in to making it so delicious, but there were tiny little pieces of coconut in the bottom which added a nice touch to the aide.  This place is really cool and I recommend giving it a try some time.

Norangkong 노랑콩 - Trendy Cafe in Hongdae 홍대

Check out My Youtube Channel!

Norangkong is a small little cafe down a tiny little alleyway in Hongdae.  The cafe is located in what Koreans call "half basements" which means that it is part of the way underground, but the windows are at the ground level.  The interior is all yellow and it seems like a super modern trendy type of place.  This is the type of place you could take your Korean friends and they'd be impressed at how cool the places are that you know.  The music was cool, the atmosphere was cool and this is place I could see hanging out with a group of cool people.

We ordered the grapefruit aid along with the pancakes that come with cream and strawberries.  The pancakes were sweet and buttery and combined perfectly with the syrup, cream and strawberries.  The aid was a mix of sweet and sour and was a special treat as well.  The food in this place is awesome, but probably the thing that makes it special is the unique and trendy atmosphere that it harbors.

*This place is located at the end of a tiny alleyway between two buildings.  It is a bit difficult to find.  Just keep searching between the buildings in the area.

Cafe Interview 카페인터뷰 - Yeonnamdong Hongdae 홍대 연남동

Check out My Youtube Channel!

Interview is a really cool little spot right out exit 3 of Hongdae in Yeonnamdong which is a cool new happening area anyone should really check out.  There are a ton of Korean as well as foreign restaurants, a park and loads of cafes in the area.  There are a surplus of Chinese and Taiwanese restaurants, but also a ton of other spots to explore with awesome food.

Cafe Interview is a small spot right near the station where the drinks are good and reasonably priced as are the cakes.  Most menu items are 5,300 won or less for the drinks and the cakes are for the most part 4,000 won.  All are pretty good quality and the atmosphere is nice and relaxing.  The place is wide open and the music is cool.  You should give it a try.







We ordered three drinks and two cakes.  The drinks were good and the cakes were tiramisu and a chocolate brownie like thing with a whipped cream topping.

Afro Cafe 아프로카페 - Sinchon 신촌

Check out My Youtube Channel!

Afro cafe is a cool little cafe with a quiet study atmosphere that is located in Sinchon.  The owner of the place seems really chill and he's also got a dog that is running around the cafe all the time that you can play with if you ever do choose to visit.  This is going to be a short post because I have only been to this place once.

I went with a friend and we ordered a hot brownie slice with ice cream on top.  I actually do not know if the brownie is normally served hot, but you can for sure get it that way.  One of my favorite things are hot fudge brownie sundaes and that is why I asked him to heat the brownie for me.  It came out and it was as close as you are probably to come here in Korea.  The brownie was great and the ice cream provided an awesome contrast.  I recommend checking this out if you are as much of a fan as I am.

The Sand is a really cool small cafe in Sinchon that has a great atmosphere and good drinks.  The inside of this place is like a trendy new age style cafe that is extremely clean and open.  There is always some cool modern style music playing and a reasonable amount of people in there.
