One of the best things about South Korea is that they also love their coffee! ☕
You'll see this in their K-Dramas where most date scenes and meet-ups are held in cafes. I am listing Descendants of the Sun's Dal.Komm Coffee, Cheese In The Trap's Coffee Bay, and The Heirs' Mango Six as my next coffee destinations when I go back to Seoul this May. You can even create a cafe-hopping itinerary when you go to Korea!

During my recent trip, most of my meals were in coffee shops. I realized that it saves time as I can eat my lunch or dinner and then have my usual post-meal Americano or latte in the same place. I also get to experience a part of their culture, especially when I encounter a themed cafe!
Listing some of the coffee breaks I had from my two Korea trips last year:
Listing some of the coffee breaks I had from my two Korea trips last year:
Aid Cafe - Dongdaemun Design Plaza
Take a break from shopping around the indie shops in Dongdaemun's art gallery, or have a coffee while waiting for sunset to view the popular LED Rose Garden.
Baobab in Petite France
Named after a famous icon in The Little Prince, Baobab in Petite France serves pastries and potato wedges other than iced and hot coffee. Bought a cup for the Little Prince print! ๐
Bau House Dog Cafe
My first time in a dog cafe was in Korea's famous Bau House in Hongdae. No entrance fees, you just have to buy a cup of coffee so you can play and "hangout" with the dogs. They're all super cute and friendly!
Starbucks
Included good ol' Starbucks in this list because I LOVE their Spring special edition cherry blossom PINK cup and flavored coffee! ๐ธ Photo taken in Starbucks Namsan Tower.
Hello Kitty Cafe
Cafe inside Everland Resort
A favorite snack in this theme park, my friend and I randomly bought 2 pieces of churros with hot coffee before heading for the line to the T-Express, one of the world's highest wooden roller coaster!!!
Cafe Delmoondo
Thanks Nature Sheep Cafe
Another must-visit for animal and coffee lovers when in Hongdae is this unique sheep cafe! Like Bau House, just order a coffee so you can have access to their cute sheep stable.
Starry Night Cafe
Not just a coffee shop, Starry Night Cafe has a stage for live performances and a mini exhibit of old radio and other audio devices. Pretty neat place to hangout after going around the Play K-pop!
Droptop Cafe
Very homey, vintage interiors, I chanced upon this cafe while waiting for my flight at the Jeju Airport. All Droptop Cafes show themes related to the regional characteristics of its location, and hosted a fair-share of K-Drama scenes too!

Angel.In.Us
Another waiting game coffee break at the airport. Angel.In.Us cafe appeared as the backdrop of Oh My Venus' popular "Umbrella Kiss" scene!
