Last night, I discovered a simple cafe located near our place. It is a BTS inspired cafe and the owner is a Namjoon Bias. Without hesitation I send a message to my officemate who is a BTS army too and invite her to go there. She booked three people immediately and send me our schedule. We went there at 4 in the afternoon, today.
Rkive Cafe is located in Gen Lim, Bangkal Makati. The cafe is near the office and near my house so I went a visit this afternoon. As we entered, my two Bias welcome us. It is just a standee though, lol. A standee of Jungkook (in purple, pouting) and Jimin. There is a Christmas tree full of BTS decorations.
The cafe is very cozy. The ambiance is good. It is small, just two table but it is clean and super comfy. I loved to stay for long. BTS songs are playing in the background. If you want to go there, you should reserve a day before. They are available to contact of Facebook. The owner is very nice. I love her.
This is what I enjoyed the most. She have the series of D'Icon magazine. I able to check all and I guess if you are a BTS army, this is worth buying.
Let me share you the sample.
It came from the biggest books there.
There are Namjoon figurines in Tiny tan too. She have Jungkook too and I will but it when I get back. I got myself moving Photocards. I have two Jungkook and one Namjoon. The owner is giving freebies whenever you buy something.
The photo of Jimin's Standee. His face hold such beauty.
This one is Jungkook. He is such a baby.
Above are wall decorations. She really decorated the cafe with too much pride for BTS. I love her.
Of course, not only with cozy ambiance, but the food are all good too and very affordable.
Is it Worth the Visit?
I am an introvert kind of person and if that is the question my answer is Yes. There are only few people inside. Just enough space for bonding and talk about BTS. There are merchandise available to buy, magazines to check, wall pictures, good food, very easy to find or location friendly, nice and accommodating owner, and of course the standee. Before visiting you need to have reservations though. It is not the kind of cafe that you can get there and a table will be ready. The place is small but for me it is just enough for a fan to stay with BTS everywhere.
We are just three and we stayed there for more than 3 hours. It was short but it gave me a relieve. I am satisfied with everything. It is just simple but the accommodation and good manner of the owner made me stick with it. I will definitely come back, or we will come next week for sure!!
How's your Saturday?
This experience added to my good memories. Up until now I attract happiness in me and this came up. I told myself visiting this will make me inspire more so I said yes today.
Well my Saturday started late and all I can think about is visiting this cafe. I woke up at 11 in the morning with a light feeling. My sister is playing BTS songs while I was sleeping until I woke up. I would love to say that me being a BTS army had came to version 3.0. I go all the way, including the merchandise.
Just last night I watch BTS in the Soop. This is BTS' reality show where they are having their vacation before they will get busy on their upcoming concerts. They will be in LA later in November for their concert on December 2.
I was all tears because I watch two version of In The Soop 2 last night. I watched first the JTBC online streaming, without English subtitle and there, it is the last episode, but the one that Weverse shown is episode 4 and another episode next week which is the last episode. For sure Friday will never be the same without in, much more that BTS Run, another reality show of BTS is in hiatus for 2 years, as assumed by the Armies. We will miss seeing them in a reality show, but Life Goes on.
Before I end this, I will say my gratitude to my sponsor for their support and renewing their sponsorship. They always makes me feel great!!

Based on your description, I must say that it is indeed worth it! Comfy place and the fact that it's small and it's just you guys on the place have such kind of exclusivity. It's safe for it is not crowded and it's really a nice place if you are an introvert.
not really a big fan but I do appreciate them. makes me wanna go there if only i'm near. LOL
