When we think of Seoul<\/a>, we often think of Kimchi and Gangnam Style. But there is a lot more to this wonderful metropolitan city than just that, and today I want to focus on a few yummylicious sweet indulging experiences. You see, the locals have figured out what’s imporant in life; dessert<\/strong>!\u00a0Streets of Seoul are jam-packed with delicious caf\u00e9s, that you simply need to visit when in town.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. It’s all pink at Hello Kitty Caf\u00e9<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I remember accidentally walking past this caf\u00e9<\/a> and having to stop immediately. Simply because it’s all pink. A girl has to stop when a caf\u00e9 is coloured in pink. Especially when it’s themed with Hello Kitty. The lady-like cat may be Japanese, but this caf\u00e9 is a must-visit when in Seoul! The Hello Kitty caf\u00e9 in Seoul<\/a> is a little over-priced compered to elsewhere in the city, but for a reason. It’s not everyday that your latte has a Hello Kitty face on it! The Hello Kitty Caf\u00e9 is located in Hongdae area<\/a>.<\/p>\n

6F RiverStar Bldg,<\/em>

\"Hello<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

2.\u00a0Passion 5, the heaven of all dessert<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When you ask a local about the must-visit caf\u00e9s in Seoul, the answer will most likely be Passion 5<\/strong>. Passion 5 is a chic concept focusing on sweet after-dining. It consists of 5 different dessert categories under one roof; bakery, patisserie, chocolates, caf\u00e9 and the fifth is said to be the passion of those who bake these divine afters. Passion 5 is located near Hangangjin Station in Hannam-dong. Most tourists don’t even know about it as the building does not stand out, but my insider tip for you is to look for a big red chicken outside and you cannot get lost!
\n729-74, Hannam-dong,<\/em>

 <\/p>\n

3. Icy treats at Homestead Coffee<\/strong><\/h3>\n

There are a few branches of\u00a0Homestead Coffee<\/strong>\u00a0around Seoul,\u00a0and they instantly became my go-to-choice for feeding my sweet tooth while getting some work done. The deserts here are massive, like almost everywhere in town. All Homestead Coffee’s have a great atmosphere and they just happen to be very cozy, definitely to my liking! You should have seen my face when I first ordered a bowl of shaved ice;<\/em>\u00a0it would have been enough for a family of 5, but I\u00a0finished\u00a0it like a champion!<\/p>\n

You can find several Homestead Coffee’s in Seoul.<\/em><\/p>\n

4. Furry Friends at Cats Living Cat Caf\u00e9<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You cannot visit Seoul without visiting a cat caf\u00e9. There are a few to choose from, but I rather enjoyed my afternoon at Cats Living<\/a>!\u00a0The caf\u00e9 only takes in a certain amount of visitors at certain times per day, so be prepared to wait for your turn and check the schedule before visiting. To get in, you need to pay an entry, but the price will include a drink. The caf\u00e9 is located in Hongdae<\/a>, which in general is a great area for shopping and dining!<\/p>\n

5. Foot-long ice-cream cones around Myeundong<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Myeundong<\/a> is actually not a caf\u00e9, but a busy neighbourhood. When you walk around the shopping district, you are bound to wander about those strange ice-cream cones hanging on many food stalls. Have one, I dare you. Ice-cream will never be the same again. I promise. Actually, you may be surprised that Korea just happens to\u00a0have some of the world’s best ice-creams!<\/p>\n
