Art, Food, and Shopping in Seoul

Welcome to my completely unorganized but oh-so-helpful map of South Korea! An absolute smorgasbord of my own travels and research, suggestions from friends and strangers, and many treasures found along the way, this is where I compile all things South Korea for my future trips and yours. Things I particularly love that you’ll find a lot of:
☕️ Coffee shops & bakeries
🌮 Local cuisine
🏛️ Museums of all kinds
🌳 Gardens & parks
🛏️ Boutique hotels
🍕 Small regional chains with good reputations

All my guides in this category are $5 per 100 places included, but since I add to these constantly, you can lock down the lowest price today and gain a lifetime access!

Seoul in South Korea is a city that's always buzzing with energy, and its coffee scene is no exception. From cozy, minimalist cafes to trendy, Instagram-worthy spots, there's a coffee shop for every taste and style.

What's truly amazing about Seoul's coffee culture is the diversity of offerings. Even if you're not a coffee drinker, you'll find plenty of delicious alternatives like matcha lattes, chai teas, and handcrafted fruit teas.

So, grab your camera and get ready to explore Seoul's vibrant café scene. You're in for a treat!

Here are the cafés I've been to and will definitely visit again when in Seoul. Click into each café to see my detailed description and the Naver Map link (use Naver Map, since Google Maps doesn't work in South Korea):

Seoul: A Coffee Lover's Paradise

레인리포트 크루아상 - RAINREPORT CROISSANT

If you love rain, Rain Report Croissant Café is the perfect spot for you. Located in Seongsu, this café features a stunning waterfall and jungle setting outdoors. Inside, you'll find a cozy atmosphere spread across two floors, with seating options ranging from booths to large beds. Their menu boasts a variety of specialty coffee drinks, teas, and croissant snacks, making it ideal for a leisurely afternoon.

one of two locations, but I prefer this one (Seongsu)!
