Hey, it’s Jinw

I finally visited Saru, a quiet little café that’s perfect for a cozy date~

I first found this place on Reels and saved it right away — it’s known as a café that gives you a small flower with your coffee order, which sounded way too cute not to check out!

I went there on a Friday evening, and yep… there was a bit of a wait.
If you’re lucky, you might get in right away!

The space was beautiful, the coffee delicious,
and getting a flower at the end just made my day feel extra special

If it weren’t for the wait, I’d definitely go more often haha

Hidden in a small alley between Yaksu Station and Cheonggu Station —
the sign isn’t very big, so make sure to check the map before you go!

You’ll meet two adorable dogs there, Tani and Opu
They’re shy little ones who quietly stay around the café —
but the moment they greet you, your heart melts

Spring Rain

Saru’s signature drink
Thanks to the China Rose syrup, it carries a lovely floral aroma.
The overall taste feels like a gentle strawberry milk —
sweet and slightly bitter at the same time ☕

Maple Latte

Not overly sweet — just the right balance.
Perfect if you prefer something mild and cozy~

Loved it ㅎ

Flower Gift

And here’s what makes Saru really special —
when you order a drink, they gift you a small bouquet

Each visitor gets a different flower —
it’s such a sweet, thoughtful touch

It’s honestly the perfect date café.

The lighting is soft and calm,
making it great for quiet chats or solo time.

Whether you’re visiting for a Sindang-dong date

There might be a wait,
but the coffee and the flowers will make it totally worth it
