Cafe De Seoul Review

This is just a short review on my experience at Cafe De Seoul.

This is my criteria on giving a review:
25 - ambiance, interior, exterior
25 - price/serving portion
25 - quality
25 - location
total of 100

AMBIANCE = 25
The ambiance is really good. The atmosphere that you will feel is "homie(feel at home)". Their exterior is really unique and elegant, it is full of corner or curves. When you go inside you can easily spot the difference between Cafe De Seoul and Starbucks. In Cafe De Seoul you will notice first the smell, the fragrant in Cafe De Seoul is good to the nose, for me that is, unlike in Starbucks, you will smell immediately the fragrant of the mix coffee beans, and for me i hate that smell, because I can't concentrate on one smell. The interior in Cafe De Seoul is much better, for me, than Starbucks because in Cafe De Seoul the lightnings are good than Starbucks which is dimmed. It's hardly to see in Starbucks because it's dimmed, than Cafe De Seoul which is lively. The interior of Cafe De Seoul also gives different artistic approach, for example their tables and chair. In Starbucks, they only offer sofa and same kinds of wooden chairs and table. And also in Cafe De Seoul, they are more innovated, their technology is much better than Starbucks. The tables in Cafe De Seoul has tablets in the middle.

PRICE/SERVING PORTION = 23
The pricing and serving portion is very well appreciated. The prices of their products is just good enough for your order/portion. And i tell you. their portions is really big, for me, unlike other coffee shop who's serving portion is really small, especially for those coffee shops that are really popular now, like Starbucks.

QUALITY = 24
my basis for the Quality is the food and the whole store itself. For the food, their hot products are served hot and their cold products are served cold, which is a good point. Somewhat, their foods are fresh everyday, maybe a little of them are not freshly baked maybe because it's hard to make especially if the products is not consumed.

LOCATION = 20
In my case, their location is good and not better. Cafe De Seoul is just across my condominium unit, but maybe for others it is troublesome, especially, this coffee shop is at the back of a condominium and not facing the main road on which most of the people walk. But for La Sallian student, it is very near because the entrance and exit of some DLSU campus are facing the facade of Cafe De Seoul. And as of now, I can tell that most of the Benildean and La Sallian student know already the Cafe De Seoul. It really takes time to be familiar with one shop, but this shop is already gaining mush attention. All I want for them to do is that, make some brochures/ flyers so that more people will recognize the shop, and maybe if they have enough money, they must build another branch, maybe in front of the gates of DLS-CSB, so that it will be easy for Benildeans that wants to try Cafe De Seoul.

TOTAL OF = 92/100
