Day 5: Hello Kitty Cafe in Hongdae

My surreal moments continued when we set foot to our next destination, the Hello Kitty Cafe in Hongdae! As a big fan of Hello Kitty since childhood, I have always wanted to go to its cafe so when we planned our trip to Korea, I gleefully added it to our itinerary (of course with the permission of my co-travellers, kamsahamnida chinggus! ❤)  Warning: Overuse of the word "cute"

How to go? Go to Hongik University Station Line 2 Exit 9. From there, you can follow this map.
As soon as I saw the pink gate, my heart pumped with excitement. Couldn't wait to see what's in store for us inside! We definitely took a lot of pictures before entering. That pink bow is irresistible! 🎀
We went upstairs and greeted by this two-storey pink house. Omo! 😮 Feels like home! Hahaha.
 There were these cutesy Hello Kitty chairs outside. Another photo op with our girly pose. Snap a shot every chance you get! 📸
Are you ready to go inside? Let me give you a tour in this adorable cafe. 💕 This cafe is quite big. The first floor is consists of the gift shop, counter, kitchen and seats while the second floor contains HK's bedroom and more seats.
As you enter and go right, you will pass by the counter where you can order food & beverage. They also have display of their cakes. From there, you can go straight ahead and check for available seats. There were also seats upstairs, but we decided to stay in the first floor. We were the only ones there so I roam around the place. Almost everything was pink and has Hello Kitty on it! How can you not love this place? 😍
At the left part is the gift shop. Any HK fan would really go crazy inside this shop. It's a bit expensive though.
 Spotted this queen HK inside the shop. Wish I could bring her home someday!
I also saw this cute display on the wall on my way to the gift shop.
We ordered food and was given this cute buzzer.
While waiting for the food, we went upstairs. Even the walls are painted with Hello Kitty!
Love this cute wall decoration! It adds up to the home vibes.
You will get to see HK's bedroom. Every girls dream room. Photo op again! Ready your just woke up poses!
 It also has vanity area inside. Guess HK is also obssessed with beauty!
 Closer look of the mirror. Hmm. Bedroom design idea! What do you think?
 Outside, there is a giant HK display. I know right, my outfit doesn't go well with the theme. I'm sure HK would understand. 😂
We did not get the chance to check the seats upstairs because we immediately went back to check our food. So here, we ordered one beverage per person as required and one order of meal only as it is a bit expensive. Hahaha. Talk about cheapskates!

When it comes to taste, i think it is just a so-so, the kind of taste that you can find in any ordinary cafe. However, we would like to give them a thumbs up for the presentation! We were hesistant at first to drink it because of the HK design.
Indeed, it was a fun and memorable experience. I fell in love with the ambiance and the cuteness of the place. What are your waiting for? Unleash your inner girly girl and pay a visit in this cafe!
