Sunday Blues and a Delightful Cafe Escape in Buam-dong

That Sunday feeling when the weekend is slipping away...
After church, while lingering around, I felt sad that the weekend was ending on the way home. So, we went to a cafe in Buam-dong! ☕️

I found it while browsing Naver Maps. It was newly opened and had a great vibe, so we decided to check it out!
Here's the entrance to the cafe after valet parking!
Doesn't it feel like medieval Europe?

Taegang is growing out his hair these days.
I'm curious to see what his ultimate style goal is!
TBAB

We arrived around 6:10 PM, and the valet asked if we were okay since they were closing soon. We figured 50 minutes was enough, so we went in. A couple in front of us just turned around and left! But we were determined to go in.
The staircase leading upstairs was so stylish.
It seemed like the upper floor was used as an office. I wish I could work in a place like that!

The interior is cozy, but the furniture and props are anything but.
That glass table is so pretty.

The ordering area is so stylish!
How do you develop this kind of sense and taste? I guess you need to minimize things first, like starting with a clean slate.

Since we already had a lot of coffee at church, we picked a drink or tea from the menu!
I ordered a Grapefruit Honey Black Tea (₩7,000).

I only wanted to order one drink since we weren't staying long, but thankfully it wasn't one drink per person!
The weather was so nice, so we grabbed a spot outside.
The less than an hour I spent sitting here was pure bliss. Since we arrived near closing time, we were the only customers, which was even better...

It felt like we were at a pension!
The Grapefruit Honey Black Tea was the best I've ever had. It's on another level compared to what Starbucks offers. Not too sweet, and the combination of tea and grapefruit was perfect.

I loved chatting and looking out into the distance with a cup of tea!
The place isn't very big, so it might feel cramped when crowded.
I want to visit again when it's less crowded, like on a weekday morning or near closing time on the weekend.

Is that Inwangsan Mountain over there? I like Gangbuk... someday, I want to live in Gangbuk with that mountain in the background. ⛰️
TBAB is located above Seokparang!
I think Seokparang might be running it. I'm not sure, but seeing Seokparang while walking down was so serene and lovely!

It looks so much cooler when it's framed from a distance. ✨ I want to visit Seokparang next time... I need to make more money! (Fighting!)

Since we were the only customers, we set up the camera and took a photo together for the first time in a while.

Still having fun playing together, these immature 30-somethings... When did we turn 30? We'll be 40 soon, gulp. Let's worry about that when it happens.

The sunset we encountered on the way back... was the highlight of the day.
That short, fleeting moment happened just as we were crossing the Han River... A perfectly blissful moment.
