Eartizen cafe (Seoul. Ewha.)
After spending a few weeks on exchange, wanted to experience student life by studying at a cafe. hahaha.
Was looking for a cafe nearby school to revise for my korean test at the rather late hour of 9pm at night. (Ewha gets rather quiet afer 9 as compared to Hongdae and maybe even Sinchon). After walking to so many cafes which were all closing, finally found this cafe located in a back alley close to ewha uni (that closed at 10pm! (:)

Initially missed it as it was located in a secluded
corner, but was attracted by the sounds of a group of friends chatting at the "deck" in front of the shop and they were leaving just as I passed by.
Turned to look and was attracted to the "earthy" feel of
its exterior with the wood panelled walls, large panelled glass
windows (giving a view of the lovely interior inside) and a wood deck.
Was a bit hesitant to go in at first because it was really late and the place was super quiet. But it was a good choice!
The inside was nicely decorated as well.
Wood panelling on one wall and comfy sofas, giving a calming, nature feeling.
The staff were quite friendly and helpful as well.
The reasonably -priced menu.
After debating what to get, found something unique to add to the list of green tea snacks/drinks i tried. (:
Green tea affogato. ₩4,500
The green tea was quite thick because it had to be eaten with the ice cream. But...still found it slightly too thick.
(trying to) revise for korean test at 9 pm. haha. (:
This was definitely one of
the memorable times during my exchange there, because it was something I would only do as a student and never as a tourist. The atmosphere of the cafe made it even more lovely and mmemorable, just sitting down in the cafe,
(trying to) study, slowly savouring my affogato and enjoying the
quietnesss of the night, occasionally interrupted by the sound of the
trains and the rumble of the floor each time a train heading towards the
nearby sinchon station passed by, which actually made it feel more
homely as you imagine the crowds coming and going from Seoul. (:

Nature-like setting
Quiet yet homely location next to the railway tracks
The unique green tea affogato
After googling, found that Eartizen Cafe is actually the cafe part of the whole building "Eartizen Herb" a social enterprise for youths.
