It's nice because it's close to home and it's quiet. I always feel this way, but the store is cold. All the food is delicious. My child and husband often say they don't have the books they want.

All of the food was delicious. After each team went, they worked hard to clean up the place. The biggest drawback was that the cafeteria was cold, but they provided hot water in a water bottle!! It's getting warmer

Naver Review (simplified version) There is a wide variety of books and the seats are comfortable, so it's great for staying for a long time. The food was delicious and it was great for not only reading but also relaxing. The store is clean, the restrooms are clean, and the staff are friendly, so you can use it comfortably. I thought it was a good space with convenient parking and good value for money (!?).

The first time I visited with my child, I liked it so much that I came back a few days later^^ There are a lot of books, and it's cleaner and better because I eat snacks and other food at a separate table^^ It's even better because there's parking^^

I came here to run errands and had some time left, so I stopped by this place to relax and read a book. It was pleasant and I was able to relax comfortably. The owner was very kind and the soup tteokbokki was really delicious. ^^

I didn't know there was a place like this in the neighborhood, so I went there and it's nice because there are a lot of books and there's an attic-like place to sit.

Everything else is fine. Compared to other cartoon cafes, it's pretty good. However, one grandmother does all the serving, billing, and drinks, so I don't know if that's why, but I don't know what she was thinking when she told me not to move my seat because I was cleaning the stone. You can think about it from the perspective of the person listening, but there are some things that are said that are very unpleasant. Even kids say they're scared of talking to their grandmother. If you change your tone and speak softly, I think you'll get much better reviews. There are a lot of people talking behind my back, so I'm telling you this on purpose.

I've been using it since it opened in the neighborhood... I knew the owner didn't have a friendly tone, but when my child was choosing a drink, it was so hot that he wanted to drink something a little cooler, so I took the drink from behind him and he said he broke the drink line, so my child got scolded and didn't want to go to the store because he was scared. It's not like he broke the cord, but the child may feel like he's being scolded, and the owner is paying the electricity bill, but he doesn't drain the drinks quickly, so it could be so, but how about speaking kindly to the child a little more... And while everyone was quietly reading books, I think it was an acquaintance of the owner, and he blew his nose so many times... If I were you, I'd make him go out of the quiet bookstore and blow his nose... It's a place where customers eat snacks and drinks, but it's not polite to the customers. The kids wanted to go, but I don't want to go next time.

I have never seen such an unfriendly and rude owner in my entire life. Reviews Even if they give me a free drink, I don't use it, but I write to make sure that the owner's grandmother or the staff knows how unfriendly they are. This was my first time there, and from the first time they explained it, the tone was very harsh and unfriendly, which made me look at them again. In the middle, the child said he was thirsty and asked for water, but he just sat in front of the computer and turned his head and asked where the cup was, and he said it was next to it. The cup had something dirty on the plastic, like a marker, so for a moment I wondered if I should eat it, but when I came to read a book after paying for it, the child started talking in a really unpleasant tone and asked why he was so unfriendly because there was no reason for me to be there. He said he didn't know how to be kind enough to tell me that I was strange, but if you just talk that way, don't do business with me. Looking at the reviews, I see I'm not the only one like this.

It's spacious, clean, and nice~~ Looking at the stickers on the books, it looks like the open writing room that used to be in the alley of Daemyung Elementary School has moved and turned into a comic cafe~ There are a lot of books, and they are in good condition.^^ I stopped by because I had some free time, and I had a good rest haha.
