Singer Zion.T
The tutorial run by singer Zion.T and his father gives a comfortable first impression with white interior and spacious seats. The signature menu, 'Crumpled Paper Cake', is topped with non-smooth white icing and, as the name suggests, looks like crumpled paper. Chocolate sauce is provided here, so customers can write their own pictures or letters. Even if you're not good at it, you can make your own cake, so it's really fun. His dog ‘Haemeogi’ resting in the store as if indifferent is another specialty.
