✔️ Parking Available
Today was a date with my second child, who absolutely loves Cinnamoroll.
I don't usually go to Hongdae because there aren't many places to go with kids, but since the Cinnamoroll Cafe is in AK Plaza, I booked a reservation through Catchtable in advance.
Reservation
I was worried about it being crowded on the weekend, so I made a reservation for the first time slot in the morning through Catchtable.
It's best to make a reservation in advance, especially if you plan to visit after lunchtime on the weekend, as it gets very busy.
The morning was nice and quiet.
A minimum of one order per person is required, and you can use the cafe for one hour.
Parking
Parking is available at the AK Plaza parking lot, and valet parking is also offered.
Please check in advance as parking may be restricted depending on the weight of your SUV.
Enjoy 1 hour of free parking with a purchase of ₩10,000 or more, 2 hours for ₩20,000 or more, and 3 hours for ₩30,000 or more.
Exterior
After parking, follow the AK Plaza signs to the 2nd floor, where the Cinnamoroll Cafe is located.
The mall opens at 10:30, so make sure to plan your visit accordingly.
Take the escalator and go straight to the right. You'll see the Cinnamoroll Cafe hallway, and the cafe is located at the very end.
Interior
We were the first customers of the first time slot, so we were able to enjoy the empty Cinnamoroll Cafe.
Most of the drinks have Cinnamoroll on top, so the prices are a bit high.
The cakes also have Cinnamoroll faces decorated with chocolate or whipped cream, so the prices are high compared to the taste.
We ordered peach soda, an Americano, and a cake.
They give you one random Cinnamoroll photo card for every ₩10,000 spent, so we received two since we spent over ₩20,000.
There is a photo zone where you can go inside and take pictures with cute props.
Note that the photo zone is small.
The Cinnamoroll drinks and cakes are so cute that they make children's eyes light up.
We ordered peach soda, which came with ice cream and white chocolate on top, and jelly at the bottom.
My daughter loved it just by looking at it.
My second child loves Cinnamoroll so much that she seemed more captivated by the cuteness than the taste.
It is cute.
But I don't recommend the cake.
It seems expensive because of the Cinnamoroll decoration, and the overall quality of the drinks and cakes was just okay.
I just think of it as a price I pay because my child enjoys it.
Adding a Cinnamoroll ice cube to the Americano costs an extra ₩1,000, but I didn't bother.
Next to the entrance, there's a machine where you can make Cinnamoroll photo cards, so my daughter enthusiastically made a card for ₩3,000.
Goods Shop
There is a goods shop next to the cafe where you can find Cinnamoroll merchandise.
Since they are authentic, the prices are quite high, so you really have to be prepared to spend.
Still, I'm happy because my daughter is happy.
It's a place worth visiting at least once if you have children who love Cinnamoroll.
You can also do various shopping at the mall, so it was a great place for a date with my child.
Finally, settle your parking fee at the parking fee machine on the first floor before leaving.
