#308 Zoo Coffee @ Gangnam, Seoul
After dinner at 봉희 설렁탕•냉면, I happened to pass by Zoo Coffee and was very amazed by the adorable decorations in it so I popped by and gave in to my sweet cravings!

As you can see from the pictures above, the theme of the cafe is obviously a zoo cafe. The cafe is decorated with cute animal soft toys such as panda, bear, tiger, snake and money. There is a graffiti of two giraffes as a background prop. Even the paper cups are printed with zebra and leopard prints and the ceramic plates and cups also have animal logos. So much effort has been put in this cafe and I really enjoy the atmosphere there. I was glad that the server could speak perfect English and she was patient enough to keep helping me take photos as the graffiti of the background prop made me look really dark.
Usually for the cafes at Korea, you order the food of your choice at the counter and you will be getting the buzzer shown at the first picture. After it has buzzed, you collect your food from the front and enjoy! Even though I am not a BIG fan of honey toast (6,500 won), I just ordered it as it was topped with 2 scoops of gelato and the cafe does not serve waffles. I have said this plenty of times and I will say it again – I simply LOVE the high quality gelato served at the cafes in Seoul as it does not melt easily. I find a lot of the cafes in Singapore serves ice-cream that melts quickly.
