Orange Muffin and cup of coffee

I love the skylights and the serene lighting

The person who did the interior design really did his/her research. It has a homey feel to it.

Here is a cafe that I like to frequent. The coffee is good and there is free wifi. They also make their own desserts. The waffles and brunch are a tad overpriced, but you can get a great homemade muffin and Americano for about 6,000 won.

    I like any place that gives me free wi-fi.

    Did they call it "19st" on purpose, or is that a shoulda-checked-with-a-native-speaker-even-for-the-basic-stuff kinda mistake?
