Cafe Untitled 2017 at YG Republique, Jeju Shinhwa World (Seogwipo, SOUTH KOREA) ★★☆☆☆

There's been a lot of rumors surrounding YG Republique, one of South Korea's top entertainment group and their intent to close down their F&B area in the heart of Jeju Shinhwa World. That includes Cafe Untitled 2017, a dessert cafe and coffee shop they launched, you guess it in 2017.

Cafe Untitled 2017 is located just in front of the Shinhwa Theme Park.



The semi-closed glasshouse cafe has been one of the most instagrammable places in Jeju Shinhwa World ever since its opening.

The eye-catching "breathing flowers" hanging from the ceiling are one of the few popular artworks displayed inside the cafe.

Of course, they made a big deal out of it by inviting G-Dragon to the grand opening.



It's been 2 years since the much-hyped grand opening. Now apart from a few souls coming in for selfies, we could hear a pin drop in here. As expected, the freshly baked bread and decadent desserts can no longer be found on the menu. And the fridge was almost empty during brunch hours (bad sign for a brunch cafe unless the place is packed).



I haven't officially had breakfast yet but I think I'll just grab a drink and get my breakfast somewhere else (not much variety here).

Iced Tumeric Ginger (6,000 won) - My first choice was their signature cotton candy chocolate but too bad they don't serve it cold (not according to the menu though. It said Hot/Cold) so I had to settle with this iced tumeric ginger. It had to be the worst drink I had on this trip. Other than the burning sensation I got from the ginger, I couldn't taste any other flavors at all.



Come here for your selfie, forget about the drink!
