In July, I went to South Korea to visit my family and meet some friends. While I was there, I did some sightseeing to places I have never been before. One of the places I visited in Seoul is a place called Garosu-gil. This place is considered one of the trendiest places in Seoul, where there is a lot of upscale boutiques, galleries, restaurants, and cafes.

I met some friends here for lunch and the place we went for dessert is the LINE Store. If you haven’t heard of LINE, LINE is a communication app similar to What’s App. One of the things about LINE is it is known for its cute characters. The best way to describe the LINE Store in comparison with the U.S. is it reminded me of the Disney Store.

At the LINE Store, you see this huge bear greeting you at the entry. Once you enter, you’re surrounded by accessories, electronics, clothing, stuffed animals, etc. all in the LINE characters.

Downstairs, there is a cafe, which where my friends and I got something to drink. The cafe drinks have your normal coffee and tea drinks, but some of the drinks and dessert items, such as the cakes and macarons are named after the LINE characters.

The store has a photo zone area where I saw a lot of tourists taking photos and obviously there was a lot of tourists purchasing items as well. I would say some of the items are on the pricey side, but if you want to purchase a cute and memorable souvenir as gift or for your personal memory, then why not buy one? 😉

Overall, I thought this place was pretty cute and is definitely a sightseeing worth because there isn’t anything like it in the U.S. Also if you’re going in the summer, it is a cool and air-conditioned place to be in and avoid the sun. ☀️
