ENG – On my second day in Seoul, I headed to this café located in the Seocho-gu district, near Seoul National University of Education Station (by the way, I had a little issue with the station name, since it appeared differently on Google and on the Seoul Metro app—so I got lost and ended up walking quite a bit!).
But I finally made it to Chyap Chyap, a café with an aesthetic that combined retro charm and warmth: reminiscent of a 1950s American diner, mixed with soft pastel tones, vintage decorative pieces, warm lighting, and inviting chairs. The gentle colors, chrome details, imaginary jukebox, and subtle neon signs all added to that delightful “step back in time” feeling.
I was in the mood for something different, so I ordered a melon milkshake in 1950s style—big, creamy, served in a tall glass with a straw, and with that sweet, nostalgic flavor that makes you think of lemonade with a scoop of ice cream floating on top. I loved it, though it was quite sweet.
To go with it, I chose a lemon cake decorated with a tiny koala—yes, a little koala sleeping in its bed, which gave the dessert an adorable touch. The flavor was wonderful: the sponge was soft and airy, the lemon had the perfect level of tartness, and the sweetness was well balanced. It was truly a great choice.
It’s worth noting that the interior is small—with only a few tables—so it can get a bit crowded during peak hours. In my case, I went early in the morning, so it was still pretty quiet.
