Cafe culture in Seoul is hip, vibrant, trendy. The city is teeming with coffee enthusiasts who want really good drinks and great design, too. Traveling to Seoul? Put these cafés on your bucket list.


Flash Coffee - With a flagship two-storey café in fashionable Gangnam district, this tech-enabled coffee chain from Singapore makes it so easy to grab your favorite drink without the long queues. IG: @flashcoffee_kr. Website: flash-coffee.com.ORDER HERE

Flash Coffee - They use 100 percent specialty-grade arabica and also have unique drinks like nutella latte and lemon expresso soda. Plant-based options are available like oat milk. With multiple branches, its a good place for snacks and sandwiches, offering a wide variety of lattes. I tried the Avocado Latte (3/5). Perfect for people on the go.IG: @flashcoffee_kr. Website: flash-coffee.com.ORDER HERE

Tongue Planet Café - This aesthetic cafe in Garosugil area is located inside Ader’s flagship building. Everything here is themed around the tongue, from the decor, to the drinks and desserts. This is where the cool kids go. Lol. IG: @tongue_cafe. ORDER HERE

Tongue Planet Café - The cakes are good (4/5). I had the Emoji cake with whipped cream and seasonal fruit filling. Plus I ordered the unsweetened latte (4/5), a nice balance of espresso blended with flavorful milk. IG: @tongue_cafe. ORDER HERE

Cheon Su Dang - Found in Ikseon-dong Hanok Village, this is one of the most beautiful cafés in Korea with its traditional architecture and pretty garden. One enters through a stone path set across a small pond surrounded by lush bamboo. Charming! IG: @cheongsudang_ORDER HERE

Cheong Su Dang - There are two kinds of seating. The traditional set up with a tranquil view of the garden… ORDER HERE

Cheong Su Dang - And the main table where diners gather around the vibrant plant centerpiece. ORDER HERE

Cheong Su Dang - The Matcha Cream Milk (3/5) made from single origin beans, fresh milk and sweet milk cream. And their signature Egg Coffee (4/5) made with custard cream. They’re also known for their cakes but we didn’t order. Too many people because it’s in a touristy area. IG: @cheongsudang_ORDER HERE

Arabica - This newly-opened café is located in Starfield Library in the center of beautiful CoEx Mall. Books and coffee are a perfect together. IG: @arabica.journal. ORDER HERE

Arabica - Arabica Coffee’s philosophy is very simple: to let you experience different cultures through coffee. Their approach to everythig is simple, clean and clear, from their drinks to design. IG: @arabica.journal. ORDER HERE

Arabica - I tried their famous Spanish Latte (4/5), which leans on the sweeter side of the coffee spectrum. But drinking it cold knocks down the sweetness a bit. IG: @arabica.journal.ORDER HERE

Coffee Nap Roasters - Located in Hongdae area, this quaint and quiet cafe is so instagrammable. The unusual interior features white walls, floor to ceiling windows, and an artificial “hill” made of bricks. IG: @coffeenap_roasters.ORDER HERE

Coffee Nap Roasters - The design caused Coffee Nap Roasters to go viral when it opened in 2018. The intention is for people to experience the feeling of drinking coffee while sitting on a hill, with the moon (aka this mirror) in the distance. IG: @coffeenap_roasters.ORDER HERE

Coffee Nap Roasters - The coffee menu is limited, so I tried their Vanilla Latte (3/5/5). If you don’t want to sit on the “hill”, there are other seating options. A nice place to just chill and read a book.IG:@coffeenap_roasters.ORDER HERE
