If you study anywhere near La Salle Taft, I am pretty sure that you know this hip cafe called Noriter and have visited it at least once.

Noriter is a Korean-themed cafe that mostly caters to students who wanted to hang-out, play, eat, or relax after a busy day at school. The cafe has a youthful and playful vibe with some corners filled with different stuff including photos of Korean artists and K-pop Bands.

Cups with personalized messages were also displayed in one corner.

The cafe offers a wide space with lots of tables and chairs. Customers can comfortably stay while having their meal or just playing with friends.

There are some parts of the cafe wherein you should remove your shoes. There are also pillows that you can use while you are there.

Aside from that, they also have some board games available which you can use for free to play with your friends while dining in.

We can say that this cafe is a luxury that students can afford. But for yuppies, this can be a place that they would like to go back to, to reminisce and enjoy what they used to do during their school days.

A friendly reminder from the cafe: “a group can stay for 3 hours at the cafe with a minimum of 2 orders, to give chance to other guests who want to experience the cafe”
