It's hard to miss this store when there is 'Mega Brown' (3.2 meters) waiting for you at the entrance. ?
We were very lucky it wasn't crowded at all that night! We read Ladyironchef's blog that they had to queue to take a picture with the famous bear, phew!
This place was actually not on our "to-go" list in Seoul. So, while we were strolling through Garosu-gil for shopping and culinary trip two days ago, we saw something familiar and eye-catching down the road, and to our surprise, it was LINE Friends Store & Cafe! We were very excited right away because we've been big fans of their stickers and characters since 2012!?(???)?
But to be honest, we thought it would only be a simple cafe with some merchandise inside, because we remember some of our Instagram followers told us to visit "LINE Cafe" not "Store & Cafe"; but boy, were we wrong. This flagship store totally exceeded our expectation! We are pretty sure no matter you are a LINE fan or not, you will find something that you like here.
It consists of three floors where each floor has its own charm. Let's take a look!
1st FLOOR
Character-themed stationery, plush dolls, and figurines.
