Review
Keep in mind that it's not the easiest place to find. But when you do find it you'll see that it looks like a mansion just as its name suggests! It's almost way too posh and grand to be called a cafe.
Right next to the entrance is a little garden with a terrace. It would be nice to enjoy a cup of coffee outside if the weather is nice and breezy.
This is their logo. It's a great place to take a selfie and keep as a souvenir.
The first floor was full of people, so I went upstairs.
Since it's a dining cafe, there are many menus to choose from. My friend and I ordered a cup of coffee each. We wanted to have some cake too, but it was already all sold out.
Just like the sign, there are lots of artistic elements and presentations displayed throughout the space. Take a look around while waiting for your drink and food. This stylish photo op with a quote personally picked out by Lee Jong-Suk himself is a must-see.
On the way up to the second floor, there is a poem painted by Lee Jong-Suk himself. It says "Although the flower is withering, the heart will not wither away. The heart that dances along with the falling petals, charmingly stacked up at noon."
The interior of 89 Mansion feels like a modern art gallery. Some rooms are covered in intense red, and some are covered in white with striking patterns.
I was a bit sad as I wanted to sit on the terrace, but it was completely full. The view from the terrace is not the best, but I wanted to sit in an open space.

If you are lucky, you can see celebrities at 89 Mansion. The photo above is Cha Eun-Woo (singer) and Lee Tae-Hwan (actor) taking a selfie with Lee Jong-suk at 89 Mansion. I was fortunate to see Jung Hae-In (actor) on my visit! But I missed the chance to take a selfie with him. I wonder who you would spot?
The drinks my friend and I ordered finally arrived!
Flat White ₩6,500
Their flat white, to be honest, was just ordinary. There was nothing special about it. For its price, I thought It should have been a little better, but it was still good.
89 Latte ₩7,000
This is 89 Mansion’s signature drink. 89 Latte is a latte with ice cream. It tasted like vanilla ice cream melted in espresso. It was sweet and yummy. Just the right coffee for me! If you have a sweet tooth then this is the drink for you.
It turned dark while we were enjoying our coffee. As the day turned dark, the lights in the 89 Mansion started to light up and made the mood of the place much fancier.
I recommend coming here around 16:30 to experience both the day and night atmosphere of 89 Mansion.
If you are Lee Jong-Suk's fan, visiting his own dining cafe will give you a memory of a lifetime. And who knows? You might meet Lee Jong-Suk himself there! For those who like luxurious and fancy looking cafes, it would also be a fabulous place to visit as well.
