Hey beautiful friends and enemies~

I’ve got some amazing news to share! It looks like I’ll be heading back to Korea for my semester holidays next March, and I couldn’t be more excited! You have no idea how happy I am right now! And of course, I’m already daydreaming about all the incredible coffee shops I’ll be visiting. Today, I want to kick things off by sharing one of my absolute favorite cafés in Seoul.

As you might know, I’m living in Germany, so when I first came across alles Café in Korea, I was pleasantly surprised—especially since “alles” means “everything” in German. This café was just across the street from where I was living for the first half of the year, only about 30 seconds away, which meant it quickly became my second home.

In Korea, it’s common to study in coffee shops, and that’s exactly what I did at alles Café—getting my morning coffee and working on my studies in a cozy, familiar environment. As I grew closer to the staff, they started recognizing me, and if it wasn’t too busy, we’d exchange small talk that sometimes turned into deeper conversations. It became one of those places where you could always count on a warm welcome and a good chat.

The vibe at alles Café is simple yet stylish, with a minimalist aesthetic and fashionable touches that make it stand out. The walls are adorned with simple but meaningful art pieces, giving the place its own unique charm. It was truly a warm, inviting space that became an essential part of my routine.

I absolutely love their beverages! Everything is so good that I could never quite decide on what to get, so I’d always ask the staff for recommendations—probably getting on their nerves at times haha. My go-to drink was usually a iced hazelnut coffee latte, but at alles Café, I couldn’t resist trying new things. Their green tea latte was incredible, as were their cappuccinos. The coffee mocha might actually be their best menu item, after all. And don’t even get me started on their iced vanilla latte and milk teas—both were just amazing. I honestly can’t stop dreaming about all the delicious drinks I had there.

Their cookies and bagels were also to die for—truly heavenly. Okay, sorry… I’m probably just hungry right now, haha. But seriously, if you’re ever in the area, make sure to try their drinks and pastries! You won’t regret it.

To wrap up this somewhat messy post, alles Café is truly a special place that holds great memories for me in Seoul. It became a little corner of comfort during my time there, and the warm atmosphere, delicious drinks, and friendly staff made it a spot I’ll always cherish. It’s a place where I created some of my best moments, and I’ll forever look back on it fondly.

AND FOR NOW..

..Just have yourself a wonderful 1st Advent…

…AU REVOIR
