Meaning "luck" or "happiness" in German, this place aims to share good, positive energy with everyone who visits, just like its name. Within its refreshing atmosphere blending clean white-toned interiors with lush green plants, it gently guides everyone to easily and colorfully experience the true charm of specialty coffee and desserts.

It is situated right near the Gangneung Daedohobu Gwana and the Myeongju-dong Cafe Street, making it highly accessible for travelers exploring Gangneung on foot. As you walk through the quiet alleys of Myeongju-dong, the entrance leading to the 2nd floor and the aesthetic posters will immediately catch your eye.

🚗 Travel Tips

  • Due to the nature of the Myeongju-dong cafe street alleys, dedicated parking is difficult.
