Cafe Giverny - Koreatown

Only about a month old, new cafe just opened up in Koreatown, right next to Yellow House Cafe.
I guess they are having grand opening special until the end of the year, we got free macarons with our drink purchase. We ordered 3 drinks and we got 3 complimentary macarons.

The menu is very simple. Teas, juice, simple coffees, and some macarons and scones. No shaved ice or food.

Very quiet and nice.



















Affogato $7
Espresso + vanilla ice cream












They asked us if we want more espresso and we said yes. So they gave us extra cup of espresso for free.












Pistachio macaron













Red Velvet and Earl Grey Macarons













Americano $4.50
One of the most popular drink here. And free refill, which is a big plus. Most cafes in Koreatown doesn't do free refill.

Pure Body Naturals eye gel, lemon oil, and peppermint oil














I recently received following products by Pure Body Naturals. I love all of them. I used lemon oil to polish my silver jewelry, also house cleaning. I used peppermint oil as an aroma essence. It's actually really good when you are coughing. I've been coughing for almost two weeks now, and I wanted to have some nice refreshing aroma in my room so I used peppermint oil and my cough stopped (almost). I was feeling so much better.
