A Twosome Place opens its first US cafe in Virginia
South Korean cafe chain A Twosome Place opened its first US store in Alexandria, Virginia, on October 17.
The cafe is in the city’s Old Town and has 78 seats, including a terrace.
It sells more than 80 items, including desserts, coffee, drinks and meals such as bulgogi rice bowls and Korean-style toast.
Customers queued before opening and throughout the first day, and the company said some travelled from New York and Baltimore to try its signature cakes.
