Seoul Trip : Day 2 Part 2 - Coffee Prince Cafe

Sorry for the delayed on blogging the next stop Coffee Prince Cafe shop. On second day after our lunch at Hongdae, our next stop was Coffee Prince cafe shop, those who watch Korean love drama series "The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince" will sure like to visit the coffee shop in that was used as their filming location.

The Coffee Prince Coffee Shop was originally a nondescript cafe near Hongik University in Seoul called "Fruit Garden Mama".

We finally reached the place after checking and asking with several local people on the street, the book that I bought was in Chinese and seems not suitable. An advise to those going there, please buy English version Seoul travel book if required.

On the street checking on my travel guide

Here we are "The Coffee Prince Cafe" and not to forget a photo with the famous cafe shop

Upon entering the cafe, the waiter will give beverage menu to make sure every visitor spend on something
instead of just visiting the cafe. We ordered 3 coffee which cost us 21,000KRW. Around 7,000 KRW /cup.
Actually it was a bit expensive but then we figured we don't get to set foot on Seoul
a.k.a. Korean drama land on a regular basis anyway.
