Compiled from 8 blog posts read in fullSources →
A branch of the Twosome Place café chain in Daeyeongak Tower, 97 Toegye-ro, near Myeongdong Station. It serves coffee and drinks alongside cakes, shaved ice, and light meals such as panini and burgers. Posts give drink prices of ₩5,700–7,200 and ₩14,500 for the apple mango bingsu. You order at a kiosk and sit in a large room. We read 14 posts from August 2025 to September 2026. Ten describe a visit; three were set aside because they were about another branch or couldn't be tied to this one, and one didn't describe anything experienced here.

What sets it apart
- The room is large. Four posts said so, and three said there were plenty of seats. One noted that even with a fair crowd it could still pick a table without trouble. Others described sofa tables by the entrance, a bar counter along the window, and a separate room further in.
- Ordering is by kiosk. Three posts ordered that way, and one noticed a second kiosk further inside.
- Four posts came with family: two with a daughter, one with a younger sibling, and one sharing shaved ice with a child. Two paid with a coupon.

Where it is
We could not find this shop’s own listing on Naver Map, so the link searches for its Korean name around this spot instead.

Getting inside
| Second floor | 1 of 8 posts |
|---|
One post wrote that there are seats on the first floor but ordering and pickup are on the second. The registered address, however, says basement to first floor, so the two don't match. This is the only post that mentions floors, and none says anything about going down to a basement.
The address lists a basement level, but no post describes being down there. That doesn't mean there isn't one, only that nobody wrote about it.
We don't know whether there's a step at the entrance, whether a wheelchair or stroller can get in, or whether there's an elevator. Nobody wrote about it.
We don't know whether the restroom is inside the shop or whether it's split by gender. Nobody wrote about it.
No one mentioned: In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Toilet inside · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

Posts that followed a TV spot
Of the 9 posts we gathered, 1 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.
We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

What we do not know
- Only one post describes the route by subway: about three minutes on foot from Myeongdong Station exit 5. Another post also gives exit 5, but that line was copied from a listing, so we didn't count it. No post mentions buses.
- No post mentions waiting in line. One found it quiet early in the morning and another found it busy on a rainy day, but that's all. It doesn't mean there's never a wait, only that nobody wrote about one.
- Every post that says who came along was a family visit. None clearly says it came with friends, with a partner, or alone.
- Two posts disagree on opening hours. An August 2026 post gives weekdays 7:00–22:00 and weekends 8:00–21:00, while a listing copied into an April 2026 post says weekdays 7:00–23:00 and weekends 8:00–23:00. Opening times match but closing times don't. No post mentions a closing day, so check before you go.
- Prices are given only item by item: drinks ₩5,700–7,200, the spoonable icebox cake ₩6,800, apple mango bingsu ₩14,500. No post says how much one person spent in total. One post skipped the cakes because they were too expensive.
- The phone number 02-318-2388 appears in two posts, though one of them copied it from a listing. No post says whether you can book ahead.
