Cats Cats Cats!


Welcome to Cats Living, a cat cafe in Hongdae.



Pay the entrance fee, order your drink (about 8,000won altogether), and get ready to spend an afternoon in cat heaven (there are 15+ cats)!

 
There are lazy cats.




























There are pretty cats.





There are hungry cats.


There are scary cats.















There are pudgy cats.

And then there's our favorite clueless cat.



And yes, you may pet them to your cat-loving heart's content.


If you should find that you have a cat allergy in the middle of petting all these glorious cats (*cough* VIVI *cough*), then head to the nearest pharmacy (the sign will say "약"), point to your rash, and the pharmacist will give you some kind of miracle cream that will soothe your symptoms within half an hour.

A Starbucks reminiscent of old Hong Kong in Central. This is definitely a popular tourist destination and apparently a popular wedding photoshoot location as well (we saw four going on at the same time), but the coffee egg tarts are worth coming here for.

Full Cup Cafe

strawberry starfruit blended green tea and strawberry rose black tea





We trekked through Mong Kok on Thursday to find this gem hidden away inside a dingy building in a dark and highly suspicious alleyway. I kind of felt like I had walked into the home of a 30-years-deceased cat lady who went all out with the Christmas decorations, but I guess I like that kind of stuff and if you do too, then I think we should be friends.

We were told that the more popular drinks are the chocolate and coffee-based options, but we went ahead and ordered the strawberry rose black tea and the strawberry star fruit blended green tea (both around $6-7 USD) in favor of something lighter. The drinks were pretty but nothing out of this world in terms of taste, though the hours we spent there taking advantage of the free wifi justified the price a little. There was also a fairly extensive food menu, but we decided to skip out on that since we already had dinner plans. A small live music venue was on the first of the three floors, and it seemed like they've constantly got artists queued up to perform every few weeks or so. The staff was pleasant and put up with our annoying requests, only cutting off our wifi towards the end of our visit, which we took as our cue to leave.

Overall, Full Cup Cafe is a cozy little placed, perfect for getting away from the hustle and bustle of the city for a few hours to chat with friends, to read a book, or just to use their free wifi like we did LOL.

Note: There is no sign outside, so look for the building with the "Paris Zone Cafe" sign - Full Cup Cafe is in the same building on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th floors.
