All the best cafes to visit in Seoul

Not sure which cafes you should visit when in Seoul? Here is a round-up of some of my favourites - with the best interiors, sweetest desserts, and above all, top-tier vibes. 1 & 2: Cafe Onion Anguk Where else can you enjoy sweet treats in a traditional hanok-style building? This is possibly one of the most famous cafe in Seoul, and for good reason: the vibes are unmatched! You get to take off your shoes, sit in a little patio, and enjoy fresh bakes. Pandoro is a signature, but the fruit-stuffed crossiant is a clear winner - with juicy sweetness in every bite. Pro tip: Come towards dinner time (around 4-5pm) to skip the crowd! 3 & 4: Cafe Margaret Floral-themed cafe in Yeonnam-dong. This place has plenty of Instagrammable backdrops all around. The garden has a fountain and plenty of colourful blooms, while the second floor has an outdoor balcony that overlooks the street (might even spot some cherry blossom). Do note that the cube croissant is only available in the late morning, and there is a minimum order of one drink per person if you choose to dine in. 5 & 6: Oats Coffee Hands down the best drink you will have!!! The einspanner is a must-get, with sweet foam that is fluffy like clouds! Super fragrant and addictive! The menu is also rather concise; bakes comprise mostly of scones, but they are done well. The chives cream cheese is a savoury option that complements the coffee well. Plus the cafe is located in a quaint little house - super adorable! 7 & 8: Cafe Highwaist Apparently Jennie from Blackpink and BTS’ Jungkook got their birthday cakes from this cafe!! And can you blame them? The bakes are so friggin cute: topped with shapes of teddy bear and dogs and cats. The whole placed exuded a strong cottage-core aesthetic - really nice place to sit down and people-watch. 9 & 10: Cheongsudang Cafe What a zen atmosphere you’ll find here! This cafe is basically surrounded by a garden, with moving water and lush greenery - step inside and you will feel at ease. Inside, there are tables and hanok-style seatings to choose from. And their cakes are sweet and should be shared! And their soufflé cake is freshly made upon order, so expect a waiting time of around 20 minutes. 11 & 12: Soha Salt Pond If there is one thing that you need to get from this cafe, let it be the salt bread. It is soooo good, especially when they come out fresh from the oven. The salt flakes on the bread add an addictive crunch! They also have a lot of other variants, like mentaiko or chives. Bonus: the cafe overlooks a cute little salt pond. #koreatrip #coffee #seoul #cafe #food
