Quite a cozy place for a quick bite, chit chat. Not strongly air-conditioned but airy enough. No kitchen cooking smell. Considerably good coffee; had americano, neither bitter nor acidic but not bland. Did not try any food. Saw on menu that bingsu is available! Mostly good distance between tables, though tables in front of display and order counter can get less comfortable when a group of people are ordering food just behind. Do note the up and down steps at the door, it can be hazardous when not careful.

Don't hesitate to taste Korean cuisine in Arete cafe. The food is delicious and affordable. On top of that you will enjoy watching the artworks. By the way the staff is lovely.

The friend rice is quite delicious. Actually I wanted to try the “solider noodle” but portion look large.

I usually wait for my son here when he goes for his classes. The coffee is good. I have tried some of the korean dishes, it was ok. They also have bingsu. The place also provide drawing classes. Prices are affordable

Saw many Koreans in here so I hoped it was enjoyable to native Koreans, looked cozy and nicely decorated too~ Kimchi Jigae (pork) was so good! I'm not a Korean so I don't know how it's supposed to taste, but it was great to my palate! Loved every last drop! The next table (Korean ladies) vouched for the authenticity too~ Coffee was good! My cappuccino came with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top which gave great aroma! The western options maybe not so great - my friend had the oven baked spaghetti and the sauce was extremely sweet - was giving baked beans tomato sauce vibes the cheese on top was generous though, and decent amount of minced chicken and mushroom pieces
