The coffee is good and great value, it's quiet and there are outlets on the wall by the seats too!

당근 동네생활Translated from Korean There are also small considerations for people who work. Desk lamps and blankets are provided. Power outlets are available at every seat too, so isn't this better than a shared office?
일하는 사람을 위한 작은 배려도 있는데요. 스탠드와 담요가 준비되어 있답니다. 자리마다 콘센트도 이용할 수 있으니, 이만하면 공유오피스보다 낫지 않나요?
