Every year, I have to make my way to Daejeon to renew my visa. Distance-wise it’s not far from my city of Boryeong, but with mountains in the way, it takes me two to three hours to get there. My experience with the immigration office varies from time to time, and recent changes to the paperwork requirements made it a more time-consuming process. 

Expect to come early, or during the week, as the cafe can get busy quite quickly. When I was here on a weekday around lunchtime, we were the only ones there. But after half an hour, the cafe was bustling again and space was limited.

It will sound cliche, but the drink did look too good to drink. Even the placement of the different dried flowers and the wooden tray was so intricate that we spent maybe fifteen minutes trying to get different shots. It tasted as good as it looked (I got the strawberry drink) and if I visit here in the future, I would definitely like to try out some of their desserts. They offer various types of cakes and fresh fruit to go along with your drinks.
