Travel Blog: Hello Kitty Cafe in Hongdae (Seoul) @ Korea



Just about everyone knows Hello Kitty. When I was in Seoul for a holiday, this is one place that I've included in my itinerary to visit - "Hello Kitty Cafe". 


 Took a while to locate this cafe since it was hidden at a corner. Have to ask around before locating this place. 

As it was early, we waited a while before the cafe opens. *Opens at 11am*



Once inside the cafe, you'll find a large assortment of cute desserts to enjoy.  From cake, to waffles, to honey toast, every delicious treat incorporates the cafe’s namesake cat. *Have difficulty to decide what to order due to many cute option to choose from*




Everything inside the cafe is pink.  The walls, the chairs, the counter, even the sofas have a pink hue.



The lighting, intensified by the pink walls, is bright enough to give off a dazzling glow, but isn't too overwhelming.  In fact, this world of pink has a very laid-back feel, despite the color overload.


The cafe has done a wonderful job incorporated Hello Kitty into the smallest details; on the advisory notices on the wall, the restroom signs, even on the garbage can in the restroom.




The cafe sell hello kitty merchandises. 
We didn’t buy any because it was quite expensive. >.<




After ordering on the first floor, we moved to the second floor to enjoy the sweet treat. 
Waited for the buzzer to vibrate before collecting our treats from the counter. 


Once we collected our order, we faced a dilemma....the kitty was too cute to eat! My friends and took countless shot of the treat and waited a while to admire kitty face before we finally cut it up with the folk.


All things considered, to the Sanrio fan, the Hello Kitty Cafe is a wonderful little shop.  As long as you can get past the idea of mutilating the world’s cutest and most beloved cat, we definitely recommend a trip here.e.
