Silver balloons spelled out the venue’s name in the front garden: “You Are Here.” Twelve people from two websites that have worldwide followings joined forces to establish the cafe. Eight of the founders are associated with the language-learning site “Talk to Me in Korean,” which has around 100,000 followers.
