**I FLEW 7,000 MILES TO EAT FIVE BITE-SIZED PIECES OF AUTUMN—AND YOU’RE STILL DRINKING PUMPKIN SPICE FROM A DRIVE-THRU CUP.**
Let’s cut through the fog of mediocrity you call “luxury.”
You think you’ve had afternoon tea?
You’ve had *warm milk with crumbs* served by someone who doesn’t know the difference between bergamot and boredom.
Real tea isn’t poured—it’s **curated**.
Real luxury isn’t booked—it’s **reserved three days in advance like a private jet slot**.
And real autumn? It doesn’t happen in a Starbucks line. It happens **22 floors above Seoul**, where the city breathes beneath you like a sleeping dragon wrapped in gold and crimson.
I didn’t “visit” The 22 Bakery.
I **claimed it**.
Because when you’re operating at the level where time is your only non-renewable asset, you don’t waste it on “vibes.” You invest it in **experiences so precise, so layered, they rewire your nervous system**.
This isn’t dessert.
It’s **geography on a plate**.
They call it the *Autumn Delights Set*—but that’s marketing speak for **a five-city edible sonnet**:
– **Cheongdo ripe persimmon tiramisu**: Not your Italian nonna’s version. This one bleeds Korean autumn—sweet, earthy, soaked in the kind of quiet luxury that doesn’t need to shout.
– **Yeongam fig cake**: Figs so lush they taste like they were hand-picked by monks who’ve never seen Wi-Fi.
– **Gongju chestnut Mont Blanc**: A mountain of chestnut cream so smooth, it makes your last relationship look jagged.
– **Cheongsong apple roll**: Crisp, tart, wrapped in pastry so delicate it vanishes the second it touches your tongue—like your excuses for not leveling up.
– **Naju pear tartelette**: Juicy, floral, with a crust that shatters like the illusions of people who think $80K a year is “rich.”
And the drink?
You get a choice—black vanilla milk tea (velvet in a cup), floral fruit iced tea (like autumn kissed by a garden), or an Americano so clean it could double as a meditation bell.
All of it served on a **gujeolpan tray**—a nine-sectioned Korean royal platter once used to feed kings. Now? It feeds **those who’ve crowned themselves**.
Price? **$60 for two**.
That’s **$30 per person** to taste five regions of Korea in under an hour, suspended above one of the world’s most dynamic cities, with light so golden it looks Photoshopped—but it’s not. It’s **real**, just like the discipline it took to afford this moment.
And yes—**you must reserve three days ahead**.
Not because they’re “exclusive.”
Because **time is the ultimate filter**. If you can’t plan three days out, you don’t deserve to sit here.
This isn’t a café.
It’s a **checkpoint**—for those who’ve transcended the grind and entered the realm where every bite tells a story, every view is a reward, and every second is spent **on purpose**.
While you’re doomscrolling in sweatpants, I was 22 floors up, watching Seoul pulse below like a living circuit board—sipping tea that costs less than your monthly Netflix subscription but delivers 10,000x the ROI in soul.
Autumn in Seoul doesn’t whisper.
It **unfolds**—slowly, deliberately, only for those who show up with respect.
So ask yourself:
Are you consuming life…
or are you **commanding it**?

You call it dessert. I call it edible sovereignty—served on a royal tray, 22 stories above Seoul’s skyline.
Pumpkin spice who? Real kings and queens taste autumn through Korean persimmon, chestnut, and pear—curated, not compromised.
If your “luxury” doesn’t require a 3-day reservation, it’s just retail therapy with better lighting
They serve seasons here—not snacks. And only if you’ve earned the view
Most people scroll through autumn. I flew 7,000 miles to *eat* it—layer by layer, city by city
$30 per person to sit above Seoul like a modern-day Slaylebrity aristocrat while the world scrambles below. Best ROI of the season.
This isn’t afternoon tea. It’s a masterclass in restraint, terroir, and vertical dominance—22 floors up, zero apologies
Your latte has foam. My tea has legacy—served on gujeolpan, steeped in five regions, priced like a secret.
Autumn isn’t a mood. It’s a menu—and only those who plan ahead get a seat at the table (literally)
While you’re waiting in line for fall flavors I’m 22 floors up—tasting Korea’s soul in five perfect bites. Stay mad
