How Hongrad marks decaf: the red straw

They marked the decaf with a red straw so it wouldn't get mixed up.

I'm a total latte devotee — whenever I'm at a café, I always order a vanilla latte, no exceptions. It was so hot today I got dizzy, but one sip of the sweet vanilla latte and I was like, this is it!!

What does Hongrad's ex-boyfriend toast taste like?

I'd heard a lot about ex-boyfriend toast but never actually tried it before — and it's an absolute gem. Blueberry and cream cheese together is already an unbeatable combo, and there's plenty of cream cheese packed inside the bread. Genuinely delicious.

Chargers, wipes and a pet-only trash bin at Hongrad

There's a phone charger, wet wipes, and hand cream by the restroom. The owner's got great sense!!

One corner of the café is filled with cute little items — birthday candles, stickers, keyrings, pouches — fun to browse too.

After finishing up and stepping outside, I noticed there's even a pet-only trash bin outside the café. I don't have a pet myself, but I personally love this kind of thoughtfulness. Since Hongrad Suwon Station Branch welcomes pets, try visiting with yours.
