Hi everyone! Do you recall when we visited EXO Xiumin and ASTRO San-ha's birthday cafes the other week on your behalf?

Well yesterday, we visited three birthday cafes dedicated to the dreamy Cha Eun-woo from ASTRO.

It was such an enjoyable time as we were met with Cha Eun-woo's beautiful face wherever we turned!

Read on to find out more about our experience.

We visited Cha Eun-woo's birthday cafe with a friend who is a HUGE fan of ASTRO! Our friend knew three different cafes near Hongik University Station and Hapjeong Station.

These cafes we are about to introduce have hosted birthday cafes for various idols, so feel free to save these locations for later!


Lovin' Her Flower Cafe


Address: 서울시 마포구 서교동 신촌로 6길 22
22 Sinchon-ro 6-gil, Seogyo-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul

Hours: 10:30-22:00

The first cafe we visited was Lovin' Her Flower Cafe.

This cafe is affiliated with Creatrip, so if you are a member you can get a discount! Check it out here. 😉

Getting to Lovin' Her Flower Cafe is very easy. We met our friend at Hongik University Station.

Hongik University Station is where Line 2, Gyeongui Jungang Line, and the Airport Railroad Line pass, so it's very convenient! 😊

Hongik University station exit

Head to Exit 6 inside Hongik University Station! Please note that Exit 6 is located at a far corner, unlike the other exits, so you have to walk a little.

When you come out from Exit 6, you will see 'Gyeongui Line Book Street" in front of you.

You will need to walk towards the alley on the left, not towards the main street.

7 eleven korea

After walking for about 2 minutes, you will see a 7-Eleven. If you turn left at this alley, you will see Lovin' Her Flower Cafe right away.

Like a typical birthday cafe, there was a huge picture of Cha Eun-woo displayed at the entrance!

He is so handsome that we got butterflies straight away. 😍

When we opened the door of the cafe, it was decorated nicely with balloons and many framed photos of Cha Eun-woo!

We were fortunate enough to be seated by a large window. All the flowers we were surrounded by instantly lifted our moods!

Also, the weather was really nice. It was so pretty to see the sunlight shining in through the window.

We first ordered a drink before looking around.

planet no 330 menu

The menu was decorated with 'planet no. 330,' referring to Cha Eun-woo's birthday which is on March 30th, which was really cute.

There were a total of three drinks exclusively for the birthday cafe:

Chamericano (Cha Eun-woo + Americano)
4,500 won

Cheonglyangmin Ade (Cha Eun-woo's real name, Lee Dong-min + Peach ade)
6,000 won

Nunuret Latte (Cha Eun-woo's nickname Nunu + Chocolate Latte)
6,000 won

If you order any of these drinks, along with the Nunu cookies as a set, you get extra swag.

So, we ordered the Chamericano and Cheonglyangmini Ade Cookie Set!

cha eun-woo cups

Both the coffee and the ade came in bottles with stickers of his handsome face.

After pouring the drink into the ice cup, you can take the bottles home.

The americano had a strong taste with less acidity, and the ade had a strong peach scent. They were both very delicious! 😋

flower shaped ice in a cup

Do you see the shape of the ice? Since it is a flower cafe, the ice was in the shape of a rose. It was too pretty to eat!

butter cookies noonoo

This is how the Nunu cookies looked! My friend said that ASTRO's official character line is called ROROHA, and Cha Eun-woo's character is NOONNOO.

The sparkling eyes look very similar to Cha Eun-woo's jewel-like eyes!

The bear-shaped cookie on the right had Cha Eun-woo's birthday, 03.30 on it! 

Both were very delicious butter cookies.

cha eun-woo fan goods

Here is the most important thing at birthday cafes! The goods!

We got cup holders, two 4x6 photos of Cha Eun-woo, four stickers, two photo cards, and a cute picture of him that can be put on a straw.

cha eun-woo fan

Also, since we ordered the cookie set, we got this mini fan with Cha Eun-woo's face on it. Our friend was extremely thrilled, and so were we!

After enjoying our drinks and checking out the goods, we decided to walk around the cafe.

Lovin' Her Flower Cafe was largely composed of three main spaces. Starting with the middle, we walked into the room that was on the left of the counter.

As we entered, we were in awe. There were pictures of Cha Eun-woo's handsome face everywhere on the walls! It felt like we were touring his museum.

These two are were our personal favorites! What do you think?

WOW! Isn't it beautiful here too? This was the room on the right.

Not only was the ceiling decorated with pretty flowers, but there were gorgeous images of Cha Eun-woo posted on the walls!

We felt that each photo captured all of Cha Eun-woo's various charms.

The most amazing thing about the room was a looped slideshow of Cha Eunwoo's fancams on a beam projector!

In this room, fans were sitting mindlessly, just admiring the screen.

Here is the main photo zone at the Lovin' Her Flower Cafe!

Our Korean editor took a photo with the mini fan of Cha Eun-woo's face before we moved to the next cafe.


Cafe MiniPark


Address: 서울 마포구 어울마당로5길 52
52 Eoulmadang-ro 5-gil, Seogyo-dong

Hours: 11:30-21:00

The second cafe we visited was Cafe MiniPark, located near Hapjeong Station. This is a cafe that specializes in birthday cafes, so be sure to check what is available before you go! 

They post what is available on their Instagram @cafe.minipark and Twitter @cafe_minipark.

This cafe is also very easy to locate!

First, we walked out of Hapjeong Station Exit 3.

If you walk straight for a bit, you will see a Starbucks. Just walk into the alley right before the Starbucks building!

If you walk straight in the alley, you will see a downhill road.

At the end of this road, you will see a crossroad! There you will need to turn right.

Walk towards the first alley on the left and you'll see Cafe MiniPark on the second floor!

Please note that the staircase is on the left side of the building! We couldn't find the stairs at first so we struggled a bit.

As we were walking up the stairs we looked to the right and saw a huge banner of Cha Eun-woo! We were pleasantly surprised.

In front of the cafe, there were two giant Cha Eun-woo banners that welcomed us in. Maybe it is because ASTRO's official color is purple, but how amazing does Cha Eun-woo look in purple!

We ordered drinks the moment we entered. There were two special drinks for the birthday cafe:

Nunurikano (Cha Eun-woo's nickname Nunu + Americano)
5,500 won

Eun-woo Berry Iced CHA (Cha Eun-woo + Raspberry Iced Tea)
6,300 won

Usually, if you order it as a set with cookies you will receive a free film postcard, but since we were a bit late they were all out!

So we just ordered one drink each.

cha eun-woo drink and cup

Here, they gave us the cups and the drinks separately.

On the left is the americano and on the right is the raspberry iced tea. They were both delicious. My friend took the bottles with Cha Eun-woo stickers, she was excited about displaying them at home.

cha eun-woo goods

At Cafe MiniPark, we received so many free goods such as photo cards, stickers, bookmarks, film cards, and more, so we were very happy.

cha eun-woo bookmark

We especially liked this film card and bookmark. The back of the bookmark was decorated just like a movie ticket, the amount of detail on these goods was amazing!

You could really tell that the cafe paid attention to all the little details to perfect them for the fans.

After a while, we decided to look around the cafe. It felt more like a nicely decorated cozy room rather than an exhibition like the cafe before.

Instead of hanging huge photos of Cha Eun-woo everywhere, they decorated parts of the room with small pictures of Cha Eun-woo.

It was so pretty to see it decorated with the ASTRO's official color, purple.

Against a large wall, there was this beautiful display. The top three purple photos are ASTRO's teaser photos for their comeback on April 5! Isn't it super cool?

There's even the ROROHA's NOONNOO toy that we introduced earlier. It was cuter to see it in plush form!

WOW! There were so many photos of Cha Eun-woo! At this point, we're sure you all are tired of us rambling on about how handsome he is. 😅😅

cha eun-woo pictures

My friend was too busy taking photos of everything. And we mean, everything! 😆😆

cha eun-woo letter

There were a notebook, a pen, and a box in the corner. Aren't you curious to know what this is for?

Well, if you write a letter to Cha Eun-woo, and place it in this message box, the fans will make it into a book to send it to him!

My friend wrote so many letters, I've never seen them write so much before. They asked us to conceal the content as they were shy, so we guess what they wrote will stay between them and Cha Eun-woo. 🤭

We took one last photo in front of this mirror!

Cha Eun-woo's go-to pose when taking selfies is a peace sign, so we imitated him for fun.


Cafe Vivid


Address: 서울 마포구 독막로3길 28-18
28-18 Dongmak-ro 3-gil, Seogyo-dong

Hours: 12:00-20:00

We actually weren't planning on going to this cafe, but since it was so close, we decided to make a quick stop.

After walking out of Cafe MiniPark, walk to the alley on the opposite side and you will find Cafe Vivid on the left.

This is a takeout cafe, so you have to drink out on the terrace. Our friend got a drink to see what kind of goods they gave.

cha eun-woo cups

There were two versions of cup holders. One was cute, while the other was fierce.

cha eun-woo goods

At Cafe Vivid, we received six kinds of goods. Two photo cards, pictures, and wet wipes. The wet wipes were very practical so we really liked them!

Even though this is a takeout cafe, the inside was completely decorated like a small museum!

It was a lot of fun to look around since the pictures were all very handsome and cute.

My friend was busy, once again, taking photos of every single display!

cha eun-woo magazines

In a corner of the cafe, there were various slogans and magazines. Doesn't it really feel like a Cha Eun-woo museum?

Our Korean editor took a photo with their favorite picture displayed at the cafe! 😆


Today we visited three different Cha Eun-woo's birthday cafes? How was it?

To be honest we were feeling quite tired since we visited all three in one day.😅😅

cha eun-woo goods

But we were so happy we received all these free Cha Eun-woo goods! We are going to say this for the last time (we promise) but how handsome is he!?!?! His middle name should just be handsome at this point.

Also, ASTRO is making their comeback on April 5th, so if you are interested definitely check them out! 😉
