Ok, so after going to the cat cafe, we decided to wander around Hongdae for a bit. We went along a very busy street and saw a lot of different performers out on the streets. There was a group of boys dancing and several pairs of people singing and playing instruments around the same area. It was really cool! I would love to go back and spend some time just chilling in that area. Eventually, we made our way to this really small ice cream shop that is famous for the fish shaped cones that the ice cream is in. We each got our own and it was magical! The cone is shaped like a fish and the ice cream really reminds me of frozen greek yogurt. It was really good! When you walk up to the shop, there are a bunch of premade fish cones sitting there waiting to be filled. The ice cream is dispensed from a soft serve machine and then a piece of pineapple on a stick is drenched in chocolate from a chocolate fountain and used to drizzle chocolate on top of the ice cream. There's also a surprise at the bottom of the cone, Custard! It was so delicious and I would definitely go back to it and get more as well as take others there!
After getting our ice cream, my friend and I started making our way towards a dog cafe called Bauhouse. I had just heard of this cafe when looking up cat cafes online and my friend thought that it sounded really fun so we decided to go take a look. It was located VERY close to the subway station that is just before the Hongdae station on line 2. So it's really close. The cafe itself has no admission fee but it is basically expected that patrons will buy a drink. There are a lot of different drinks from sodas and coffees to smoothies and teas. These drinks range from 7,000 Won (about $6.00) to about 8,500 Won (about $7.50). As with the cat cafe, you could also pay a little bit more to get some treats to give to the dogs. Once we got into the cafe, there were two areas to sit and play with dogs. There was an area with some smaller dogs and puppies and a room with larger and older dogs. The dogs have free reign over the area and can do basically whatever they like. All of the dogs were also very well behaved. My friend and I went into the area of the cafe with the larger and older dogs. The cafe was really nice and the staff was really good at quickly and efficiently cleaning up after the dogs. There was also a couple in the cafe who my friend and I thought were the owners of the cafe becuase they were playing with all of the dogs and knew all of the dogs' names as well as were very friendly with the staff. Overall, this was a really laid back place to hang out and basically chill with dogs. All of the dogs were wonderful and I would love to go back here as well as the cat cafe! Here are a bunch of pictures of the dog cafe!!!
