I loved this place. The vibes were amazing and the drink names were so funny. The ducks were super cute too. Definitely come here if you come to this area.
This is the coolest place you'll ever visit, no doubt about it. It's lowkey crazy, but in a good way. The owner is very friendly and nice, the drinks are delicious and the ducks are cute. Do you need more? If you are in Busan, visit this place, you will jot regret it. I hope I can return one day!
My favourite cafe I’ve ever been to. Seriously the weirdest, but coolest place. I came when I first visited Busan, and had to come back again. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you’re in Busan! The ducks are super cute, and the cafe itself is a crazy maze.
You HAVE TO stop by this café, you won’t regret it !! We randomly stumbled upon it just looking for a quick coffee, and ended up discovering the most incredible place ever. I don’t even know how to describe it… it’s like a beautiful mix of chaos and creativity, weird in all the best ways. You can spend hours getting lost in this quirky maze : drawing, taking photos, playing with all the random objects lying around… and even feeding the owner’s three adorable ducks ! Please, take the time to chat with the owner, who is an amazing guy and an absolute ray of sunshine. I’m honestly surprised I haven’t seen any comment mention his story, which completely broke my heart (yes, I cried). He escaped North Korea by swimming in 2021 and tragically lost his two friends at sea. That explains all the cheeky jokes about Kim Jong Un scattered around the café, but more importantly, it gives you a glimpse into the soul of this place, overflowing with life, love, and resilience. P.S. I almost forgot to mention but the drinks are delicious and super original !
Fun unique coffee flavors but nothing compares to the fun-house style adventure combined with create-your-own artwork ambiance that is like no other coffee shop you’ve ever been to. And make sure to feed Ya, In and Ma while you’re there!
Very cute ducks!!! You get to feed them and interact with them n it’s super fun. A lot of different props for taking pictures too. 10/10 would recommend c:
3 words: A fever dream. You’ll need like 2 hours to fully enjoy this place. Drinks & cake: 4.8/5 ⭐ Atmosphere: 4.9/5 ⭐ Service: 4.8/5 ⭐ Drinks and cake were surprisingly good! Came here for the decorations and didn’t expect the drinks to be good! Had the red whisper (Strawberry vanilla milk latte) and Kim Jung Eun banilla latte Actual strawberries were used in the drink and not some cheap syrup or flavoring! Kim Jung Eun banilla latte was sweet, but didn’t overpower the aroma of the coffee beans. ⭐ Drinks didn’t dilute after awhile either, flavors were strong throughout! The cheesecake was surprisingly good! We expected the cheesecake to be tiny but it was the size of my iphone…for only 2,000₩!!! It was soft, and fluffy! It was a bit hard to order cause the menu was all over the place but that’s the charm of the place right? Drinks were on the pricier side, but for the taste? I would do it again. A second drink is 50% (i forgot) off though!! AND you get another pack of duck food Atmosphere of the place is right up my alley. It’s crazy how even with the amount of clutter all around, the place still remains clean! Not dusty! ⭐Everywhere is a photo spot! Props all around! ⭐ You never really know what to expect, just when you think that’s crazy, you enter another room to be wow-ed again Stars of the show are of course, the ducks. They seem well-taken care of (coming from a vet student). They’re so comical! and they’re SO BIG!! (You get about 2-3 bags of food for the ducks when you get a drink) Owner was always very attentive and friendly, striking a chat whenever he sees you. (You only get a chance to speak with him when you enter/leave) All in all, WILL VISIT AGAIN!
This place was crazy!! I have never visited anywhere like it, I would consider it an attraction in itself! We absolutely loved it, you could never be bored. Coffee and food was fantastic Too! And to top it all off.. DUCKS! Wow, amazing.
