A popular South Korean coffee shop chain is opening its first U.S. location in Alexandria in mid-October.<\/p>\n

Twosome Place<\/a> was founded in 2002 in South Korea, and there are now more than 1,750 locations around the world. The cafe will open at 404 King Street on the ground level of the Alexandrian hotel.<\/p>\n

The new cafe features a strawberry chocolate cream cake, which the company touts as the \u201conly trademark-registered cake in Korea.\u201d The location is 2,600 square feet, and has 78 indoor and outdoor seats.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Alexandria caf\u00e9 will also introduce a menu of Korean-inspired items including handcrafted beverages like the Dalgona Cream Top, Black Sesame Latte and Misugaru Frappe, alongside an all-day menu featuring K-Toast with Bulgogi and Egg, K-Chicken Panini and Bibimbowl,\u201d the restaurant said in a release.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s debut in Alexandria marks an important milestone, said Jay (YoungJoo) Moon, CEO of Twosome Place Korea.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited to introduce American consumers to the caf\u00e9 culture we\u2019ve built over the past two decades, one centered on quality, hospitality, and creating a place where guests can gather over exceptional coffee and cake,\u201d Moon said.<\/p>\n

More grand opening details will be shared in the coming weeks, according to Twosome Place.<\/p>\n

The Alexandrian is also home to a new Van Leeuwen Ice Cream shop<\/a> and Life Alive Organic Cafe<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A popular South Korean coffee shop chain is opening its first U.S. location in Alexandria in mid-October.
