Tips
- It opens at 10:00, so a morning meetup has to start right at opening. Kakao Map and the blogs all agree on the Monday closure. Closing times vary by source, so check a map app for the day before you go.
- A blog says strollers can also be left in the space in front of the shop, and another mentions being given baby tableware. Posts say the Hangang Mansion arcade car park behind the shop is free for up to two hours. No source says whether there is a table for four to six.
