#329 Air Cafe / 비행기까페 @ Hapjeong, Seoul
My apologies for not updating for two weeks. I was at Bali last weekend and was quite busy with a colleague’s farewell this week. I will update more about Bali another time. Let’s back track to my Korea adventures last January.
So, after having my ME time at Angel-in-us Coffee, I figure out that I have to move elsewhere to look at other cafes. I have done a research on themed cafes the previous day and consolidated a list of cafes to explore. Since I was around Hapjeong, I decided to try out Book Toy Cafe. However, after looking for Book Toy Cafe for an hour and it seems like the cafe is closed according to the people nearby so I re-routed to…
Air Cafe / 비행기까페
404-19 Seogyo-dong,
Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea
+82-2-332-2789
After wasting an hour looking for a cafe that has closed down, I was roaming around and I randomly saw the buiding of Air Cafe (pardon my finger on the first picture) so I decided to rest there and make myself feel at home. For those who comes from Hongdae station, head out at exit #1, walk for 2 blocks, turn right at Noroo Paint, continue walking straight for roughly 200m and you will see the building depicted in my first picture. After which, go into the elevator and head to the third level. As you can see, the cafe does look like the interior of a plane with the duty-free items displayed, menu and longitudinal seats. Even the decorations does make you feel like traveling anywhere anytime!
Just look at how I made myself feel comfortable with the amount of pillows and blanket I put on my area. I was also writing postcards while chilling at the cafe. In Air Cafe, they serve very simple food as the food served in the plane are relatively basic. Initially, I got a Tofinek for 3,000 won (USD$2.94 / CAD$3.16 / SGD$3.65), not knowing what it was. I was surprised that it was just a piece of wafer that is usually served in the plane. So I decided to order the Sandwich for 5,000 won (USD$4.91 / CAD$5.26 / SGD$6.09) next. There are simple dishes that are served in the cafe but it will be priced at roughly 10,000 won just FYI.
