Yeongdeungpo café with a 2-month-old baby: Mela Times Square
Mela Times Square is a brunch café on the first floor of Times Square in Yeongdeungpo, Seoul, directly across from H&M. Timing the visit around a 2-month-old's feeding schedule, the writer booked a same-day weekday reservation on Naver and ordered rose corn gnocchi for 22,000 won and pumpkin gorgonzola pastry pizza for 24,000 won. With high ceilings and a steady hum of background noise, Mela made it easy to sit down to a Western meal with a baby without worrying about the tables nearby.
