From the outside I wondered, is this a big café? But the moment we walked in, the entrance blew me away. The ceiling at the entrance is open through the 1st and 2nd floors, so it's very high.

What are the inside and the 2nd floor of Chat Baker like?

The inside of Chat Baker is much bigger than I expected, and one side is all tall windows, so you can chat in the sunlight. There are lots of seats with plenty of space between them, and the 2nd floor, up the stairs, has a different mood from the 1st.

(Is this what a well laid-out, spacious interior feels like?) As I said earlier, the ceiling is super high! There are loads of seats with good spacing, so it looked really good for chatting. Let me show you the 2nd floor too, up the stylish stairs.

The 2nd floor had a totally different feel. Kind of a collab between nature and Korean beauty? Whatever, ^^ the atmosphere was really great. I wonder who did the interior.. so good vibes.
