#330 Capi Capi Loom Loom 카피카피룸룸 카페 @ Sungshin Women’s University, Seoul
My apologies once again for the long awaited entry as my relatives came over from Indonesia so I have been quite busy after work catering to them. I am trying to finish up my Korean adventures entries but it is always better to write with your heart than write for the sake of writing. Since I have some quiet time now, here goes my entry for today…
As Korea is very famous for cute themed cafes, I check out the adorable rilakkuma cafe. Since Suzuka also loves rilakkuma, I brought her and Yuzu along too!

We went there during the evening so it was getting dark already. Thanks to our navigator, Yuzu for always being able to get us to the right place since she is very fluent in the Korean language. So in order to get to this cafe, when you head out of Sungshin Women’s University Station, Line 1, Exit 1, walk straight and turn right. You will see the shopping street of Sungshin Women’s University. Next, walk straight to the intersection of Cafe Greenwich and cross the street. After which, turn left and walk straight until you pass Mr. Pizza, which is located on the second floor. Four stores awhile and you will land at Capi Capi Loom Loom!
I can honestly imagine how a true blue rilakkuma fan will come here and go all gaga about it!! The cafe not only have rilakkuma soft toys all over the cafe, they even have a rilakkuma room, whereby you have to remove your shoes to dine in. Suzuka and I even arranged our very own rilakkuma room and took gazillion photos in it. In the Japanese language, Rilakkuma リラックマ signifies a bear that loves to relax. Thus, you can see that there are pictures of the rilakkuma sleeping and sitting on the chair. When I was selling polaroid back in 2011, I remember that the rilakkuma film is one of the most popular films! This popularity continues even at Seoul!
Suzuka had the Citron Tea, while I got the Hazelnut Coffee Latte. I totally forgot what Yuzu had! Our drinks cost 4,500 won (USD$4.38 / CAD$4.74 / SGD$5.44) and 4,000 won (USD$3.89 / CAD$4.21 / SGD$4.84) respectively.We also ordered a Bacon Pizza (7,000 won – USD$6.82 / CAD$7.37 / SGD$8.46) and Cheese Honey Bread (6,500 won – USD$6.33 / CAD$6.34 / SGD$7.86) to share among the three of us. Just look at how I arranged a rilakkuma to “eat” the pizza with us! The food is freshly made so it took awhile for it to come. Although I am not usually a coffee drinker, I have no doubts in the coffee made at Seoul!
The above pictures depicts the price we paid and there are even loyalty cards given so that you can continue to patronize the cafe.
