An unexpected outing in Wangsimni

Pratibha’s Article

Helloo everyone,

I know the exams are approaching, and so is the summer. With the increasing heat, one thing to help you cool down along with some insulin boost could be Greek yogurt.

I am back with the next stop for our series for this semester’s exploration. One day on my way to Wangsimni station exit 6, I thought of choosing another alley to go there and surprisingly found a hidden gem of this area. This whole alley is full of cafes and one of them is this Greek yogurt place. The name is “Tim Mary”.

This is also at walking distance from school and from the Wangsimni station. The price range of this place is 6,000-8,000 won. They have a variety of options to choose from: such as their special Tim Mary yogurt, fruity one, nutty one, soft yogurt, etc. They have two size options which are medium and large. The time I went, they were refurnishing the furniture so I could not see the whole place but only the part available to sit.

Still, it is really aesthetically pleasing.

I ordered the “merry berry” (메리베리) and my friend ordered the “morning Gleason” (모닝글리슨). We both ordered large sizes. The worker there could speak English so it won’t be a problem. The menu is only in Korean so if you need help, the part-timer can help you with that. For me, I can read it so I just ordered mine and asked him to remove nuts from mine as I am not a big fan of nuts.

It was 9/10 for me. The taste was good but it was big and sweet for me to eat the whole thing. I would suggest ordering a medium size. You might think that the bowl is not that big but it is difficult to finish the whole thing. There is a washroom but it is in the building next to it and the key is with the person working (just in case anyone needs this information😶‍🌫️).

Overall, this place is worth spending time with as it is within walking distance. Moreover, this alley doesn’t only have this place but other good cafes as well, which I will cover in my next blog one by one. Until then good luck with the exams everyone. Don’t push yourself too hard. I did and ended up falling sick and eventually did badly in exams. Health is always a priority.

Take care and I will see you guys in the next blogggg. Byeeee
