Daejeon Cafe: Moon Banggu Coffee // 달방구 커피

Daejeon Cafe: Moon Banggu Coffee // 달방구 커피   So I actually visited this cafe a long time ago, before I went back to America, but realized that I never actually made a post about it! (Possibly because I'm not crazy about the pictures I got that day. But whatever.) Moon Banngu Coffee in Galmadong…

Daejeon Cafe: Botanical Garden Cafe // 고소한식물원

고소한식물원   "Botanical Garden Cafe" is just my guess at the English name but I think it's probably close to that. This cafe is located on the other side of Daejeon, close to Hannam University. I stumbled across this place on instagram but had I not, I don't think there's anyway I would have ever…
