## Retro atmosphere and brown sofa seating at Hongrad Mangpo Station Branch

The entrance is already so vintage, and it's getting you excited, right?? Hongrad is seriously famous in Suwon.

The interior is decorated in a retro, vintage style like this. Besides sofa seats where you can sit alone, there are lots of four-person tables too, so it's great for coming with friends.

All the sofas are brown for a unified look, and somehow it doesn't look boring? I thought that much of one color would get dull, but this place breaks that idea!!

The round two-person tables are spaced quite far apart too, which makes it feel really comfortable.

### Sofa seats along one side, ideal for a solo café visit

I think the unique plus here is that the sofas and tables are placed along just one side, which is great for coming alone. It feels like a cozy studio, so working here would really boost your productivity, right??

We sat on a sofa that's good for working, and it was comfortable and private enough that even two people could sit there.
