민들레영토는 5000원으로 문화마을(일반 음료 무제한, 특수음료 1잔, 간식 1회)을 즐길 수 있는 카페이다. 음식도 판매하고 있으며 10년전부터 변함 없는 가격으로 운영중이다.

미친 가성비에 한 번 놀라고.. 아는 맛이 무서워서 한 번 더 놀랐어요! 서울에 이 가격에.. 보드 게임도 있고 제가 갔을 때는 음료 리필도 가능했어요! 아니 어떻게 서울에 이런 가게가 있는 건지ㅠㅠㅠ 마음이 따뜻해지네요.

추억이 가득한 곳, 엄청난 맛을 기대하는 공간은 아니지만 이곳만의 분위기와 감성을 사랑한다. 가성비로 따지자면 서울 내에서 이만한 곳이 있을까 싶다. 아쉬운 점을 꼽자면 청결. 커튼이나 쇼파 커버를 바꿀 때가 된 듯하다.

Best cafe I’ve been at. This cafe offers an amazing ambience and service. It’s pretty much an all you can drink after spending 6,000KRW and also offers a light food item with that price…unbeatable. This cafe is perfect go study at or meet friends. It also features board games. There are two people who work there and they are both really kind. I highly recommend visiting.

Wow, I forgot how great this place was to study or talk to friends. For 5,000won, it’s all-you-can-drink for basic teas and soda, plus a free snack (not to mention popcorn!), but food is also available. I’m going to come here to study more often.
