Eastwood Koreatown has a surprising number of cafés and supermarkets. It really feels unique in that way. Sure, each place has its own vibe, its own sales and competition, but when you see about six different supermarkets and just as many cafés all in one area—it really stands out.
Honestly, I didn’t expect Smelly Cheesecake Cafe to open in Eastwood. I went there with a friend, and I was pleasantly surprised by how spacious and comfortable it was. The coffee wasn’t bad either. I was especially surprised by how large the kitchen was. And when we went upstairs—wow!
I'm a big café lover, so I write a lot of reviews. Some places are just too noisy with everyone talking loudly, and sometimes the space is so cramped that it feels uncomfortable. But this café had plenty of room, which made it a relaxing place to hang out with a friend. No need to constantly move your seat or worry about people brushing past you.
They’re even open in the evenings, which is great. The customer service could use a bit of improvement, but I think I’ll be going there often...

It‘s quite spacious, clean and open till late. Air conditioned. Can park your car on the street easy, or free parkings for 2 hrs nearby. Many young ppl spend time here with their laptop, yet no power point is available...
