“Chloris tea provides one of the best milk teas in town. My first visit to this place was nice, the place was cozy with nice decorations and seats. The place is rather big so one could spend some good talk time with their friends over here. The service here is good too where they’ll come to your table and take your order, which is not the same case in most coffee shops in Seoul.”

“We ordered coffee, Earl Grey milk tea and a piece of carrot cake. The cake was rather normal, but I personally loved the tea served here. It is just of high quality I should say. I definitely will visit again!”

“Had the cottage cream latte and the Mille crepe cake. Both were quite nice and I especially liked the cream on the latte even if it was just cream. I’ve never had a Mille crepe cake before but I would say that this one was quite delicious, however not life-changing. Music and atmosphere were also good and it felt reminiscent of higher tier tea places in London. Come here if you’re a lover of cozy tea places.”
