943 King's Cross (943킹스크로스) Hongdae: Magic-Themed Cafe

Some Hongdae cafes are as much about the building as the coffee. 943 King's Cross (943킹스크로스) Hongdae is a magic-themed cafe where a whole building is decorated floor by floor, with brooms at the entrance, red wallpaper rooms and dessert shaped like an egg. Here is what we could confirm if you want a fun stop around your visit to Beauty Blossom Clinic in Hapjeong.

The theme

A visitor post (edited June 19, year not shown) said the whole building is themed, a large broom stands at the entrance, ordering earns a mission card, each floor has a different scene, and finishing the missions earns a sweet at the front desk. The post also called the desserts detailed and the chocolate-shelled dragon egg dessert fun. Whether the mission cards and sweets are still offered is not confirmed.

Desserts and drinks

Photos show a tray with two drinks and several desserts, including a golden egg-shaped dessert, a plant-pot-shaped dessert and a pink cake, plus a golden egg cracked open on a black plate with a small white hammer beside it. The post described the egg's filling as marzipan, but the photo shows grey-brown crumbs, so we do not name the filling. Menu names and prices are not confirmed.

• Sweet and cold drinks are fine for most people, but if you had a treatment that day, follow your clinic's advice on food and drink.
• Hours, pricing and ordering rules change. Check before you go.
