Aobba is a cafe located in Galhyeon-dong, Eunpyeong-gu. Passing through Yeonsinnae's food alley and crossing a traffic light, a quiet residential complex appears. This alley, both in the past and today, has been a frequented spot, where one can find the cute exterior of Aobba at the corner. It's a welcoming space. Near Yeonsinnae, there's no other place with such an atmosphere, offering not only cafe and dining options but also an alcohol menu at night, likely leaving a variety of impressions and lingering feelings for those experiencing Aobba. From reviews to handwritten guestbooks of visitors, it seems that things that can only happen in Aobba, from modern people bent under the weight of life every day to families enjoying profound writings deeper than a poem. The interior features a cozy space, with bar tables for three, a table for two, and a table for three. The owner's hospitality significantly supports those who visit here. Solo visitors can comfortably engage in conversation, and the exchanges between tables carry meaningful undertones. The guestbook entries of young mothers visiting with their toddlers are still memorable. Thanks to such visitors, Eunpyeong-gu felt warmer than the cold weather suggested. Aobba is a cherished space in Eunpyeong-gu. 📍Beans/Menu - Using a blend. - Coffee, non-coffee, udon and meal menus, alcohol, and snack menus are available. 📍Coffee I ordered an Americano and honey rice cake. The coffee was predominantly dark, which seems suitable for those who prefer coffee without acidity. The honey rice cake felt like it well represented the space of Aobba, familiar yet delicious. 📍Music Aobba's music paints with old school Korean pop songs. Despite my age, there were songs I knew and others that would be recognized by younger listeners. I read a review about someone who came here for a drink alone from Sillim, and it seems the music plays a part in the experience. Although J-POP used to be played, the old K-pop songs personally feel more immersive in the space. 📍Location: 1st Floor, 6-1, Galhyeon-ro 31-gil, Eunpyeong-gu, Seoul 📍Operating Hours: Wed~Sun 12:00~23:00 / Closed on Mondays, 2nd and 4th Sunday (Closed Feb 12) 📍Kids Zone 📍Pets Allowed 📍Parking available in front of the store for one vehicle (confirmation from the store required before visiting)
