A Twosome Place said that customers began lining up outside the store before it opened at 7 a.m. on October 17, its first day, and that the line continued until closing time at 8 p.m. The best-selling drinks on opening day were the Black Sesame Latte and Dalgona Cream Top, while the top-selling desserts were the Spoonable Icebox Cake and Spoonable Strawberry Chocolate Fresh Cream Cake.

A Twosome Place is focusing on expanding in the U.S. market, with its dessert offerings as a key differentiator. The company aims to meet demand with options ranging from individual cake slices to whole cakes for parties and gatherings, and to offer customers the experience of pairing coffee with dessert. The menu combines the company's signature desserts from Korea with Korean flavors and options tailored to local customers' tastes.

"To live up to the interest and expectations, we will carefully incorporate feedback from local customers and improve our products and services. We aim to become a premium dessert cafe that customers in the U.S. can visit and enjoy at any time of day," said Moon Youngju, CEO of A Twosome Place.

A Twosome Place operates its U.S. stores through a local subsidiary and plans to continue incorporating customer feedback and operational data into store operations. Starting with its first location in Alexandria, the company plans to open additional stores in key commercial districts across the DMV region in stages, expanding the foundation of its U.S. business.
