킷테
KITTE is a café operating in a preserved 1930s Japanese colonial-era house (jeoksangaok) built in the hybrid Japanese-Western style. The name 'KITTE' carries a dual meaning in Japanese, 'postage stamp (切手)' and 'please come (来て)', embodying the concept of 'Japanese tradition meets modernity.' Despite being nearly 90 years old, this modern architectural heritage maintains contemporary elegance through its neatly organized space. The café features an exotic atmosphere where Japanese wooden architecture coexists with Western elements, and its thoughtful service includes complimentary welcome desserts for visitors. Enjoy leisurely time with carefully crafted desserts like roll cakes and cheesecakes. Located in a quiet residential alley just a 1-minute walk from Sookmyung Women's University's back gate, it's perfect for escaping the bustle. Closed on Mondays with occasional irregular holidays, check their Instagram (@kitte.cafe) before visiting.
