If you're familiar with the guys from "Talk To Me In Korean" and Simon + Martina from EatYourKimchi, you'll be really glad to know that they've personally opened a cafe right here in Seoul! Apparently they come by quite often and you can take pictures with them and all. It was Day 2 of Chuseok so I didn't see any of them but there was one TTMIK staff whose name I can't remember so I didn't bother.
They also have a classroom for future lessons to be held! So stay tuned for that. Go to their Facebook page.

Following the directions should get you to the cafe rather easily because most of the landmarks and shops located along the way are exactly how they look like.
1) Exit 1
2) Walk straight along the street till you see KEB Bank and make a right (You should find yourself opposite the crowded Exit 9)
3) Walk straight along that street and you will then come to a T-Junction. Cross the road and go Right.
4) Look for the shop "ResPub & Beer". Make a left turn there.
5) Go all the way straight till you see the huge You Are Here Cafe.
I'm not kidding about huge. It was way bigger than I expected.

I expected like a small quaint little cafe that's part of a bigger building but wow this is a standalone house!
My friends from Singapore will be slightly disappointed though.
Not sure if it's just a difference in concepts but I realize most of the Cafes here in Seoul are literally just Cafes, like they serve a nice cup of coffee and have choices of small sandwiches or desserts to complement their beverage. They don't really serve all-day breakfast items like your Egg Benedicts or other quirky mains. I'm sure some do, I just have to find them.
But that's essentially what CAFES are, coffee and small munchies. I'm pretty sure the 'Cafes' in Singapore are just going the extra mile to provide meal options. (Spoil market lol)
But yeah so there were a couple of cakes on display in addition to your whole list of coffee choices. I ordered from the milkshakes cos I was craving for something sweet and the last Carrot Cake was snapped up.
Prices are pretty stiff as well, judging by the portion sizes. It's 4300 to 5300 for the coffee and 6800 for milkshakes. Cakes were in the 6000 to 7000 range. However I guess if you come with people who have the 'Asian culture' of ordering a few drinks, cakes and all sharing together then it'll be rather worth it!
I'll probably be back some other time to try the food though cos today we were just being tourists.
Oh, and a lot of nice #OOTD (Outfit of the Day) spots for the girls. Hahahaa. The decor is amazing.
