Knotted Donut opened a café called Knotted World at Jamsil Lotte World Tower in Seoul on March 31, 2023
Let’s take a tour with the video first~
It is the largest donut café in Korea with a beautiful view of Seokchon Lake
There are two floors inside
The 5th floor is a café and souvenir shop, while the 6th floor is a photo area and toilet, with a total of 12,097 square feet
The entrance is a small photo zone and souvenir shop
Photo zone was designed in pale yellow and pink tone
You can take beautiful photos easily
Check in the superb decoration and the delicious Knotted doughnuts
Although there is a 2-hour wait to enter the cafe, it also attracts a lot of people waiting
I went there on the Sunday of the 2nd week of opening
You need to enter the Korean phone number at the machine in front of the store to queue
At 1:40, the number is already 489, and there are 201 groups of guests waiting in front of me
It seems that you need to wait half to 1 hour before the door opens
Otherwise, you’ll have to queue up
We were going to wait two hours before we could get in
So I rode my bike to the SOMA Art Museum nearby in the Olympic Park
There were only 66 guests left before we received the notification
Unexpectedly, within a minute after we have checked the queue (3:03), I received a message from Kakao Talk saying that I would need to enter by 3:18
So we used extreme speed to ride back to the Lotte Tower (the foot was about to break TT)
We divided the work. My friend went up first to get the spot and I went to return the bike so that we can be just in time to get in
When I went up, the clerk said that my friend had to come out and pick me up before I could go in
I almost lost my seat in the beautiful scenery of Seokchon Lake because of this
So don’t go as far as we did
Just walk around the Lotte Tower
After that, there is the ordering area
Next to the ordering area, you can see the kitchen and the return area
There are also Knotted’s stickers and colouring paper for you to take home
Cupcakes and Slush are limited products in Knotted World
We ordered Pink Cloud Lemon Slush, Hazelnut Chocoball Donut, Rainbow Vanilla Cupcake, Green Tea Choco Cupcake and Milk Cream Donut
We just ordered 6 items and they cost 28,800 won
But I love Hazelnut doughnuts
The crunchy chocolate and creamy hazelnut cream really match!!
And Rainbow Vanilla Cupcake also uses rich cream but it won’t be greasy to eat.
It is not just having the appearance~
I wanted Pink Cloud Lemon Slush to order a peach flavour at first but it’s already sold out, so I can only order lemon flavour
At first, the straws froze, and I couldn’t drink it
It took a while before it could be melted
But it was a little bit too sweet for me and my friends
Even though it was a Knotted World limited drink, we prefer buying an extra limited cupcake to eat XD
But there are really a lot of people inside
Waiting for the location was 30 minutes
It took another 30 minutes to stand in line for food
Waiting another 15 minutes for food
If you’re in a hurry, you really can’t come here
There are also several super beautiful photo zones
If you ask me if it’s worth it
I think it’s fine if you just wait for an hour
But if you have to wait 3 hours in total, it is not recommended
Unless it’s a Knotted donut fan or a professional Instagrammer who follow the trends~
