Everyone has their own secret place, that is only known by themselves. The name of the cafe - "Room 19" is inspired by the book "To Room 19(19호실로 가다)" and TVN's drama "Because this is my first life(이번 생은 처음이라)", where "Room 19" is known to be one's secret place. Thus, Cafe Room 19 will be "the secret cafe only you know".
