As the insiders would know, Korea is chock full of cafes, which is why you’ll have no difficulty finding an Insta-worthy cafe in Seoul that serves delicious cafe fare.
If you’ve hopped through all the cafes in Seoul and are looking to explore beyond the capital, we’ve found the perfect one for you. Uasis is tucked away in Gwangju, a city that’s two hours away from Seoul by train.
The pink interior and warm interior lighting are already eye-catching and worthy of an Instagram story, but the real surprise lies inside!
Uasis is famous for its lattes topped with 3D meringue art that looks extremely realistic – these meringues do not melt as fast as typical 3D latte art, so you can take your time to snap as many photos as you want without worrying about them melting.
The top favourite design is this one of cheeky Crayon Shin-chan with his butt peeking out of his pants – remember to shake the cup a little if you are filming a Boomerang!
UASIS can create meringues of just about anything, be it your favourite Disney princesses or anime characters – the possibilities are endless!
Sweet treats like cakes, eclairs, and meringue cookies are also on the menu to complete your afternoon break.
While the price of each item is not available on UASIS’s website, photos of the physical menu from customers show that the price of meringue lattes can range from between KRW6,500 to KRW8,500 (about SGD7.55 to SGD9.90), while desserts start from KRW3,500 (SGD4.05).
The cafe adds new character designs periodically according to what’s popular during a particular period, so if you want to know what’s good to order before heading there, make sure to follow them on their Instagram for the latest updates.
