Hongdae brunch café with peppermint and yuzu tea for teatime: MELA

MELA Hongdae is a brunch café in an alley between Hongik University Station and Mangwon Station in Mapo, Seoul. The writer ordered potato basil cream gnocchi and an avocado ricotta open sandwich, then added peppermint and yuzu tea to carry on with teatime at the same table. The biggest advantage of MELA Hongdae was not having to look for a separate café after the meal.
