What people say

Kelly Foo
"Cafe Highwaist 하이웨스트 is known for its retro-inspired interior design, featuring vintage furniture and decor, as well as its delicious menu of coffee, tea, and pastries such as scones. One of the key features is the display of cakes and dessert right next to the counter. The attention to details is amazing. You can take your pick of the signature Fresh Cream Shortcake, Red Velvet Cake, Tiramisu Short Cake, Basil Strawberry Toast, to Classic Butter Scones. What keeps people coming would be its vibes, and I can just imagine friends spending a whole afternoon here just chatting."
""Cafe Highwaist" is a highly popular cafe located in the trendy Ikseon-dong neighborhood. The personalized lettering cakes sold here are a popular choice among Korean idols (Blackpink's Jennie, BTS' Suga) and celebrities for gifting to one another. "

"English-inspired treats (like Cafe Layered in Yeonnam). Scones, cakes, and cute desserts decorated like bears and puppies. Homey interior and various places to sit inside. "

When it comes to cities with the best cafe culture, I think Seoul takes the cake. Explore over 30 of the most Instagram-worthy cafes in Seoul with this guide to unique cafes. CONTENTS: ✅ USEFUL INSIGHTS Before you start cafe-hopping in Seoul, there are some things you should know (tipping culture, cafe etiquette in South Korea, opening times and more). ☕️ ORGANISED BY NEIGHBOURHOOD There are almost 100,000 cafes in Seoul -- so, it goes without saying: This isn't a masterlist. Instead, it's a curated collection. I've included a handful of cafes in: - Yeonnam-dong | 연남동 - Hongdae | 홍대 - Yongsan | 용산 - Gangnam | 강남 - Seongsu | 성수 - Ikseon-dong | 익선동 - Anguk | 안국 - 1 cafe near Gyeongbok Palace (Sagan-dong | 사간동) 🫡 HONEST OPINIONS Life's too short for bad cake and coffee. While these are all beautiful, I've included my 🫡 honest foodie experience too, so you can make informed decisions about whether to go or not. 🌱 VEGAN OPTIONS They're very limited, folks - but when I've found vegan cafes in Seoul (or vegan options), I've include a note with a little 🌱 plant emoji. 🗺️ INTERACTIVE MAP 🔗 Google maps doesn't work well in Seoul but not to worry: I've included Naver Map links for every cafe on the list. --- ☕️ 🤍 From one cafe lover to another, I hope this is useful! 🤍 📢 This Seoul cafe guide will be regularly updated so, be sure to save it and follow @StormOnTheHorizon (everywhere📲 for updates).
