It’s impossible to walk around any Seoul neighborhood without running into a coffee shop.  A mix of good food, creative interiors and everything indescribably cute, I was sold. 

Sinsa-dong Garosu-gil is one of the places I've been to that I see myself coming back to, again and again, and again (forever). Well known for its “garosu-gils(tree-lined streets)”, Garosu-gil gave me both fear and happiness whilst roaming around it’s indescribably beautiful area. It felt as if I’m in New York’s Soho area once again. Someone please teleport me back to Seoul. 

Hunger struck, and we found ourselves in Coffee Chu.

Coffee Chu is an eye-catching café located in one of Garosu-gil’s alleys (opposite Buccella Sandwich – which I promise myself to come back to try and come back to.)

The café is a neutral looking gem with cute interior that goes together, it made my heart skip a beat.

We found ourselves sitting by the little fresco area complete with fake grass, and easy access for hip people watching.

You can find Coffee Chu at Seoul Building 535-23, Namhye, Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu. Coffee Chu currently has 7 outlets in Seoul, including this outlet at Garosu-gil.
