I came here because I wanted to experience life like in the drama "Lovely Runner" From this cafe we ​​can see Sunjae's house very clearly if you sit in my seat. Overall I like the place because it's comfortable, you have to try the signature coffee, it's really delicious!!

This place became popular from a korean drama. It is like any other cafe with a nice environment. Many crowds come by to take pictures. Food and drinks were very limited, although delicious. They didn't have cafe mocha or caramel machiato which is my go-to. But they did have a vanilla late which was delicious.

Saw this by accident on Google Maps while looking for places to visit during our day trip in Suwon. From the photos, I recognized Seonjae’s and Sol’s houses from Lovely Runner Mong Ted, an actual cafe, was Sol’s house in the series. When we arrived, there were several tourists already taking photos, but it wasn’t crowded. I snapped a few before we proceeded to Mong Ted where we ordered drinks only. (We were still full from lunch). My mom and I both had White Sands (decaf), and it was gooood! Not bitter at all, and just lightly sweet. We decided on decaf because we both had a hard time sleeping 2 days prior, after a visit to a cafe in Seoul Too bad we didn’t order any pastry. They’re known for salt breads, but they also have melon bread. The cafe is on the 2nd floor, which gives you a good view of Seonjae’s house, which is an actual residence, so be mindful when taking pictures. When we were there, we saw the ahjussi living in the house and he seemed like he was already so used to tourists hehe.
