Read guide →Seoul's café culture runs deep — the city has more coffee shops per capita than almost anywhere on earth. Beyond espresso, Korean cafés are known for creative signature drinks, seasonal fruit lattes, and elaborate desserts. Many operate as social spaces where people linger for hours, and the interior design is often as considered as the menu. Specialty roasters, art-themed spaces, and Instagrammable concept cafés sit side by side throughout the city.
Eunpyeong-gu sits at the northwestern edge of Seoul, where the city meets the mountains of Bukhansan National Park. The area has a quiet, residential character with a food scene that reflects its local community — traditional Korean home-style cooking, neighbourhood pojangmacha, and teahouses tucked between hiking trail entrances.
