Sweet Tooth Satisfaction - Mouse Rabbit 마우스래빗

Although it is located in Mouse Rabbit (their Korean website) located in Kongdae is a well-known coffee shop amongst Kpop fans because of the famous celebrity that owns the cafe. Yesung 예성, the lead vocalist in Super Junior opened this three floor cafe with his brother that attracts locals and tourists to the area. With an outdoor patio and smoking area on the first floor, open windows for sunshine and a traditional black and white movie playing on the second floor, the cafe takes it to a whole new level offering private rooms where you have to remove your shoes in the basement. 

When visiting the shop, there is a high chance Yesung's mother will be working, but it is more difficult to see the celebrity himself. Although he has been spotted at the coffee shop, it definitely takes quite some chance since he is a celebrity after all. None the less even without the chance of seeing Yesung, it is worth visiting Mouse Rabbit for their cute mugged hot drinks and desserts. 

Their marble cheesecake is on point with the perfect blend of New York styled cheesecake, dark chocolate base and chocolate filled cake. Although they are more recognized for their Oreo cheesecake, it is nothing like an Oreo cheesecake. Anyone looking for a lighter, fluffy textured cream cake should definitely go for the Oreo cheesecake which is cream and fluff on top of a chocolate base cake, topped with an Oreo. 

In addition to the desserts, there are a variety of drinks which includes coffee, teas, and even alcoholic beverages. They are on point just like any other coffee shops. Mouse Rabbit also offers the popular Korean dessert, patbingsoo which is a shaved ice as well as a handful of small eats. 

You would think a place opened by a celebrity would charge an outrageous amount of money for their drinks and goodies, but it is actually measurable to all the average coffee shops in Seoul, even cheaper than a lot of the fancy ones. You can easily find drinks and desserts priced at less than $5 a pop which is truly amazing because you're actually spending more at a Starbucks. 

Opened from 10AM to 12AM daily, it is the perfect place for a chat, bonding, and even just to study. There are many locals that hang around the coffee shop just to enjoy a cup of coffee without it being too chaotic knowing a celebrity owns the place. Service is amazing and the staff is extremely friendly. They always have Mouse Rabbit hand fans ready to give to any fan of Yesung which makes it that much more amazing.

Directions to Mouse Rabbit is fairly easy. Take exit 2 of Konkuk University Station where Line 2 and 7 intersect. When you exit the station, take a left before the light where the Angel-in-us coffee shop is and go straight until you see the Samsung mobile store on a small corner. Take the small street that goes in on your left and Mouse Rabbit will be on your right.

BLOG UPDATE: For those TRUE fans, you will know when you see. I was a little too embarrassed to ask for a photo, plus the 23492374982374 signs that asked politely not to take a photo. At the very minimum Yesung 예성 did take my order and did speak to me in a combination of Korean and English ^.^ totally made my day and made me feel like a little girl at heart. He is actually flawless in person.
